girl mcs who convince me that maybe the future will have flying cars

there are lots of really badass girl mcs from shoujo/romance drive plots, but this list is specifically filled with stories that are gems due to the rarity of their specific tropes/plots with a female-centered protag.

- i try to avoid romance! (if there's a big center point or even just distinct input of it, i'll mention it)
- mostly action/shounen vibes

YES it has a strong romance plotline but like the MC is actually so cool. the way she incorporates modern ideals and feminism isn't in a "pick me girl" or condescending type of way, and empathy isn't extended to just her gender or to "those who deserve it" as equality is on a baseline scale. i REALLY love her.

romance is distant and basically nonexistent (she's just sympathetic of some non-trashy guys she comes across) and she has VERY hardhitting morals and judgment due to them. i actually REALLY like MC way more than i thought i would, since i was initially worried she'd be those 2D pick-me-girls. like she's legit girlboss omg. also there is NO ML and she's an independent entity. love her.

What can a LIST do?

You may feel your favorite manga should be gathered together into distinct categories for your own reference and, now, you can do this with a LIST. After you've created your list or lists, you can proudly recommend them to other manga fans to showcase and share your taste in manga.

heyy! i really like this list and i found a bunch of really good mangas cuz of this list. Just wanted to point that the mc of 'Hen Na Le' is actually a dude. The mangaka just draws him like really pretty ig lol. There's a live action for this manga and it's mc is a dude. I haven't read the og novel but if you check the wiki it says that the mc is a dude. Just thought I'd let you knowヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~

omg wait i never noticed LOLLL that's so funny. thanks for lmk. for some reason the fact that i just NEVER picked up on the fact that MC was a dude is so hilarious to me, that im going to leave it in this list with an edit stating my mistake.
