I found a great one recently but I'm not sure if it'll continue to be translated: Asahinagu, a sports manga about naginata fighting with a female protagonist and almost entirely female cast. Written by a woman, 0 fan service or grossness of any kind. I REALLY enjoyed the chapters so far and like the protagonist. Really hope the group translating it keeps it up :p
luckpack said to grass-skirt:Oh, and I've also been reading Kumo Desu ga, Nani Ka?. It's a really strange Isekai where the girl protagonist reincarnates in fantasyland as a huge monstrous spider who has to survive all the other bigger, tougher monsters around. It's very combat heavy for the first several chapters (with a female protagonist, holy shit!) but it seems the plot is kicking up right about now. I love it! Also has a female author and no grossness.
I’ve been reading Asahinagu! It hasn’t blown me away or anything, but it’s a nice story and I hope it continues too. I also read the first couple of chapters of Kumo Desu ga not long ago. I like spiders (more theoretically than in person) but I didn’t continue it since it just didn’t grab me enough. I might in the future though if the plot ramps up!Â

I've been watching Kyoukai no Rinne (also known as Rin-ne) and there's no fanservice like other Takahashi series and the cast is fairly evenly split between male and female. There are kind of co-protagonists in Sakura (female) and Rinne (male). I'm not sure if the manga lacks fan service, but we seem to lack a pervert character like most Takahashi series so that helps greatly.
It doesn’t really look like my kind of thing, but I’m happy to pass along the rec to anyone who is interestedÂ
