I've found this to be an extreme rarity, not just in mangas and manwhas, but in fiction as a whole. Granted, having no romance is pretty unusual regardless of the sex/gender of the protagonist, but if there's ever a story without romance you can bet the MC's gonna be a guy and be right 95% of the time (in my experience).

- What I'm looking for is any story - short or long, manga, manhwa, manhua, novel, light novel or webcomic - where the protagonist is female and is not involved in a romantic pairing for the entirety of the story.

- I don't mind there being romance involving secondary characters, and those pairings even playing a big role in the plot. I'd just like to see a female MC who's not interested in romantic love, for whatever reason. Perhaps she's honouring the memory of a dead lover/spouse; maybe she doesn't care for the idea of being "tied down" ; maybe she's focused on her mission and thinks romance will get in the way, or maybe it just hasn't come up and she doesn't seem to have given it any thought. Whatever is fine.

- I don't want something where she was raped or abused and therefore has been scared off sex/romance for life.

- Please don't suggest "unlucky in love" type manga. The MC can't be one of those girls who wants desperately to marry and settle down but just can't seem to find Mr. Right. She has to be someone who isn't looking for Mr. Right in the first place.

That being said, please only suggest stories where the female character concerned is indubitably the protagonist, and not just an important side character.

Preffered genre would be any of these: isekai, action, comedy, school life, horror, slice of life. But basically any genre except sci-fi, historical, and hentai is welcome. (Although i said no romance, it's fine if its shoujo-ai or yuri. I'm just kinda tired of het romance rn lol)

Also, I'm looking for professional works, so no doujinshi, please.

Thanks in advance!

The ENTIRE CGDCT category.

Honestly, a lot of slice-of-life with female protagonists fall under this. And if you're interested in Touhou at all, all of the Touhou manga features female protagonists without romance. They're generally fantasy/supernatural/slice-of-life. (My personal favorite is Forbidden Scrollery.)

Also, can I ask, why not historical/sci-fi? I included those series, marked off, just in case you're interested. If not, you can just ignore them, I guess. (The ones marked "historical?" mean it's an alt-history, but with clear influences from real life.)

The fact that ae-karomi's post is almost a complete copy-paste of the thread by calstine that you linked suggests this thread is from a bot—there's a kind that copies old posts to seem on topic and then edits in the spam link later on. Although it is unusual for such a bot to make any substantive changes to the post while still remaining on point...

Wow, you're right, I didn't even notice. I guess that teaches me to post without reading carefully enough.

Well, maybe my long-ass list will be helpful to someone else down the line.
