Diary of a Female Lead: Shujinkou Nikki

3 Volumes (Volume 4 releases September 2025.)

Licensed by Seven Seas

The critically acclaimed meta shojo about taking charge of your own (love) life! Tsujimura Aoi wouldn’t consider herself a main character by any means. Meek and insecure, she’s constantly alone, unlike her athletic older brother, Itsuki, or her mother, a famous shojo mangaka. Aoi doesn’t need to be the heroine, though—all she wants is a true friend. But Itsuki disagrees, and when he brings home Aoi’s effortlessly cool classmate Mizusawa Sena, the two concoct a plan to teach Aoi all about love, using shojo manga as their guide. Can this drab side character become an unparalleled female lead by falling for the perfect guy?

Yesterday I sadly had to give Sand Chronicles back to my library as I had put off returning this manga for over a month now! 😅🙈

I know I already said it but thank you to everyone who voted for this shoujo in my event because it was so impactful, emotional, and powerful! 🥹
