a list of women in mangas ive read that i personally find to be commanding of their own lives, are stronger than their MLs or just generally badass and i have a soft spot for them.
ive read quite a bit and i haven’t included all of the ‘powerful’ women, just the ones i think should be included.
— older FL who turns into a dragon.
— royalty and fantasy
— cute + blushy ML
— FL > ML in terms of everything
— Full Color + Beautiful Art
One of favorite webtoons. I read this before mangago and it’s unconventional and a reversal of gender roles, which i love. The FL is powerful.
relatively short
large age gap (she saved him when he was young)
human x fantasy creature (shape-shifter)
— Rebirth with her past life’s memories.
— She was the founding empress of the nation.
— Powerful and BAMF in all aspects.
— Soft and submissive + dense ML
Takes place in the era of aristocracy and she’s (voluntarily) forced into a marriage with a Duke. She’s just stronger than everyone (kind of like I WANT TO BE YOU JUST FOR ONE DAY) and smarter too.
ongoing.
protagonist is a tad-bit self-obsessed and she isn’t very likable or show any character growth and the story is a little all over the place but the art is good and so is the fact that she’s pretty powerful. i’m hoping there’s no romance but it’s there in the tags so
i gave up reading this once but after i resumed reading, i regretted it a whole bunch because this is a masterpiece. there’s two FLs, both opposite of personality but what i love as much as i do my strong FLs is the bond between the girls. the guys surrounding them are capable, just not as much as them which *insert cheeky face* i love!!!! and the art is beautiful.
based on a novel. ive read the full novel and i have to say this is only one of the VERY FEW ive found where the FL is genuinely stronger than the ML, which is atrocious (the fact that there’s v few, not that she’s stronger). the world-building can get way out of hand but the manga does a good job of simplifying most of the scenes. it’s confusing in the beginning but it’s great — like truly.
the FL truly does not care about ANYTHIN
