fandom in general doesn’t seem to grasp kenshin’s character at all like damn. ALSO THE ACCURACY OF THAT TAG. where is kenshin’s polite snark okay

lol yeah in all these fics they just kind of simplify him down to some sad expressionless and polite dude who gets instantly mad or annoyed if you comment about how short he is or how young he looks (which where did this come from??? i don't think he ever gets annoyed at these things in canon so??? like literally not even in the remembrance flash backs does he care abt this in fact he uses it to his advantage at one point so????????? ? ? ? ?  ??!?!!?)

and it's like yeah ok he is those things to an extent, especially since i'm only reading pre-manga fic rn and not post or during the manga's timeline but it's still like, even during the bakumatsu kenshin was more than a sad polite puppy like c'mon

also yeah regarding the snark lmao i legitimately have not read a single fic where he retains the sense of humor he has in the manga, like i get that it's not overt and it's ~polite snark~ like u said lol BUT IT'S STILL THERE?? COME ON GUYS??? and it was ALREADY present during the bakumatsu too, its not something he got after wandering around as rurouni for 10 yrs like

medium - long series (im categorizing this as being over 10 volumes ok?? but most of these are in the 15-25 range)

d.gray-man i'm gonna rec this one to the stars and back i love it so much, it's really not a light read though (and also it's ongoing w/ a lot of hiatuses so ;__;) and there's a lot of body horror so beware! as far as ladies go there's really only one in the main cast, but she is absolutely brilliant amazing love of my life etc. there's also a canonically queer dude among the main 4!!

fruits basket i feel weird reccing this one??? but it was basically my first series and i still think it's pretty good to this day, even if it's a bit cliche, the characters are all really well-written imo and it has a really diverse cast of ladies!!

ouran hshc - i think you've seen the anime for this one??? but i definitely rec the manga over the anime by like a thousand and one (ymmv depending on the person, this is just for me), it's definitely one of my favorite shoujos too, so. (also you don't get to meet reiko or mei in the anime!! most tragic thing of all)

natsume yuujinchou iirc doesn't really have a lot of ladies? it's also a very relaxed kind of series, but it's really good and the main dude is great. it's still ongoing rn

kimi ni todoke romance/school life series REALLY CUTE and the main girl is absolutely adorable and she becomes best friends with these other two girls and they become a beautiful trio and everything is beautiful. also ongoing right now!

lovely complex another fave shoujo of mine, it's also romance/school life based and follows the main couple through their 3 years of hs. it's really cute/funny and has one of my fave couple trope thingies (taller girl/shorter guy, which is actually a biiiig part of the story). iirc the beginning is kind of slow and the art style is not very good but it gets better lol

kuragehime i've actually not read this one in awhile bc its on my on hold list but it's very cute from what i remember and very lady-centric. it's got a pretty decent-sized following in my circle of friends so i think it's safe to put it here lol

there are also ~classics~ like mars, kare kano, hana yori dango, hana kimi, arina tanemura's series,  etc that i personally don't care for (ESPECIALLY HYD in fact i should rescind that rec so im removing the link) (though i do like kare kano up until a certain point) but they might be fun to check out just so you can say you've read them, lol. there's also NANA, i think it's safe to call that one a classic and it focuses on the friendship between two women who have the same name, but it's on an indefinite hiatus rn. (the series also ticked me off after a certain point but it wasnt bc of the ladies it was bc all the dudes sucked basically)

short - medium (10 vols and under)

sakamichi no apollon coming of age story, really lovely and i like it a lot. it's set in 1960s japan and deals w music and friendship and etc

emma really slow romance, it's set in late 19th century england and iirc it's very day to day life of victorian england, it also deals with class issues to a degree because of the main romance. it's mainly told from the POV of a maid but it has a huuuge cast and it generally hops POVs a lot, but the main POV is the titular character

otoyomegatari by the same author as emma, REALLY beautiful detail. also a historical series, and generally told in the same fashion emma is (lot of POVs etc). i have it on hold right now so i'm behind but what i read i liked a lot, so thats why im putting it here. it's ongoing rn

akagami no shirayukihime ongoing series! i also have this one on hold, and it's also a very slow sort of series but i liked it a lot when i was still actively reading it. it's kind of a fantasy/historical blend, the main lady is awesome and wants to become a palace pharmacist so the story revolves a lot around like the politics of a kingdom and stuff since she's bffs with the second prince

shuukatsu!! sort of coming of age story? except this one is a josei and it has college-aged characters. it's very short (2 vols) and an easy, cute read. it deals w/ the main lady and basically her getting ready to go into the real world. 

sasameki koto ladies ladies ladies!!! it's a yuri manga so there are queer ladies. it's super cute (and also super heartbreaking at points) and one of the best yuri mangas i've read

paradise kiss ONE OF MY FAVORITE COMING OF AGE STORIES i LOVE the main lady, the characters are all very well written too, even if i'm not a fan of some of them (namely the dude mikako is with, idr his name rn, and i have a love/hate relationship with george). it also has a very important mother/daughter relationship! there's also queer and trans* characters in here too

cat street also another coming of age story, tbh i don't remember a lot about it because i read it awhile ago but i do remember liking it, and it was a fairly easy read? 

karakuri odette i wouldn't say this is an outstanding series or anything but it's very cute and a really light read, it's main character is qt and is an android who wants very much to be human/is fascinated by humans. iirc this mangaka's series in general are pretty good and light reads so i'd check them out but there are definitely some eeeugh moments

strobe edge REALLY CUTE but standard fluffy romance-school life story, but it's my favorite kind of ~generic story lol, all the characters are pretty good. there is a love triangle though but iirc it's not super obnoxious? 

ao haru ride from the same mangaka as strobe edge, this one is more popular tho i think? same kind of generic romance/school life story but it does delve a little deeper into some issues, otoh the love triangle in this one is actually kind of obnoxious. also, it's ongoing

mascara blues this is a oneshot! by the same mangaka as the two above series. most of the stories in it are alright but i looove the last one (so i can be myself)

lol oh wow this is really long, i'm sorry! i'm also sorry if you've already read a lot of these. i'm doubly forever sorry if a lot of these end up sucking. here is my mangaupdates account where it shows a lot of the series i've read if you want to check it out too, it hasn't listed every series i've ever read since there's been times i just wasn't using it and sometimes i just forget to update it.
