If you are looking for a good isekai with female lead, I think "The Saint's magic is omnipotent" is the best currently. https://mangadex.org/title/23631/seijo-no-maryoku-wa-bannou-desu
"The Saint's magic is omnipotent" is great but it makes me want to find what ever web publishing editor thought up releasing five page mini chapters to generate more ad views and punch him in the mouth.

It would be fine if the stories were made with that in mind but most of the time it seems arbitrary. Mangadex needs an option for your follow list to not update until all the mini chapters are out.

Thanks for all the recommendations everyone, you've given me new suggestions and also reminded me of things I forgot to pick back up like Bofuri.

here's a couple series with female main characters both by the same author, your enjoyment of them heavily leans on whether you like isekai powergaming or not

https://mangadex.org/title/23635/potion-danomi-de-ikinobimasu

https://mangadex.org/title/22843/saving-80-000-gold-coins-in-the-different-world-for-my-old-age

both have ludicrously overpowered MCs who exploit their abilities in the ways a D&D player might exploit a particularly broken ability. such as the girl who can make any potion in any flask making a flask that's a sword with a little potion thingy in the hilt or the 80,000 gold coins girl using her ability to cross back and forth between worlds to exploit the value difference of gold in either world, also raiding 100 yen stores for cheap garbage to sell to the fantasy world :v:

I like that one but wouldn't call it a shonen.

I was going to sarcastically say that it looks familiar. But after reading it, I am convinced that it is impossible to tell which of her manga a random chapter is from, just by reading it.
Yea, she only writes one thing any more and it's not my thing.

While I somewhat enjoyed gold coins, I ended up not being able to stand potions. The really rough scanlations combined with the (often) chaotic neutral protagonist just didn’t work for me.

I don't think so, but Tanya's crimes more closely resemble actual stuff that happened in WW1 and 2, like newly invented vehicles overwhelming traditional tactics but once identified were easily countered, rather than the 'actively dangerous to non-participants' landmines in Potions.

Also, as we've seen, Tanya is very careful not to commit any actual warcrimes, by the laws of the world she's in. She radioed civillians warnings about bombing runs (Forgetting that as a little girl they wouldn't believe her) and didn't firebomb a city until the remaining militia started executing hostages (Which meant they became classed as active agressors and fair game for lethal force) etc.

You should check out The Seamstress Girl. A girl gets truck'd and ends up as daughter of a family famous for their magic-infused clothes, and it turns out she has some OP abilities regarding this magic. Except she only discovers this after another house rescues her from the abusive family.

Maybe shounen was the wrong way to describe it. I generally enjoy the whole generic setting most isekai go for- new world, register as a adventurer/hunter, go fight a wolf etc. If there's any of that with women that'd be cool.

Magic Level 9999 and Villainess LV 99 are basically what I'm looking for, although I do wish everyone was at least like 9 years older in the former. The latter is just 80 times slower at updating than I'd like.

Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear might be worth a shot. MC is an isekai'd/MMO'd girl whose cheat powers are reliant on her wearing a bear costume, because that isekai God appears to really like bears. But it does hit all the adventure's guild elements you're looking for.

She's not a human woman, but have you read Kumo Desu Ga? There's also Goblin is Very Strong, with a somewhat less nonhuman protagonist, though that one kind of creeped me out.

Also, and I know you mentioned not being interested in "guy reincarnated as a girl", but there's Yasei no Last Boss. The previously a guy part doesn't really come up, as Lufasa has the original memories mixed in. Might not be your thing, but it is a really nice series and otherwise fits.

Those are all mostly on the money for what I'm looking for. I'm already reading all of those but Kuma x3 Bear so I'll check that one out now that I've heard of it.

Arguing about Lore for 5 years and counting



when it comes to Resurrection Isekai, I much prefer the kind where the New Person is on the forefront. A new person who remembers things of their last life, instead of the old life continuing their old narrative as a baby, which I find kinda weird.

Oh, I thought Kumo-san was Kuma, otherwise I'd have mentioned that one too. Which one were you talking about? Neither a Google or Mangadex brings up anything.

Old man reincarnated into the villainess is amazing. Like, I should hate it because it's all so.... mild and uneventful. But somehow seeing him constantly freaking out because his old man reactions got auto-translated into noblewoman reactions entertains me.

It's also got the twist that his daughter booted up the game he was Isekai'd into, and can see his thoughts in it. So that's gonna go places. Spin-off chapter "My dad went missing, and turned up in my videogame?" when!?


Anyway, regarding wild-animal reincarnations here's

Kumo desu ga, nani ka (Translation: I'm a spider, so what)

https://mangadex.org/title/17709/kumo-desu-ga-nani-ka

Reincarnated as a weak spider in a horrible dungeon, remembering no specifics about her former life, not even her name, out protagonist dedicates herself to surviving and using her unusual intelligence for a monster hatchling to get stronger. Lots of skill-numbers-go-up, and tactically levelling up to abuse the heal that comes with it.
Later, the spider gets the ability to divide her mind into Parallel Wills, so talking to herself becomes even more literal, and also marks the start of the comedy spinoff where her divided wills turn into whole spiders rather than different voices in her head.




Kuma kuma kuma bear (Translation: Bear bear bear kuma)

https://mangadex.org/title/24244/kuma-kuma-kuma-bear

Reincarnated in a fantasy world, with really strong gear and spells and abilities... and it's all bear-themed. Every power the protagonist uses has to be bear-themed, from the mascot-costume pyjamas stronger than any armour to bear-shaped fireballs and summoning cuddly bear familiars...


They've both got animes in the works, Bear announced more recently, but also seeming more likely to actually come out?

Those were already suggested a few posts up

Another female lead series is this manwha, the youngest princess, which is about the arch mage of a powerful fantasy kingdom suddenly being whisked away and awakening in the body of the newborn princess of another kingdom in the same world. And it doesn't just go "and then she grew up", no, it's about a six-month-old trying to use her vast powers of...being a useless baby, to keep her psychopath king father and brothers from exiling the maids for giving her veggies or the portrait artist for "not capturing her adorableness properly". Also the dangers of being a prophecied child in a powerful kingdom. I'm generally not a manwha fan but I'm enjoying this one.

Thing I like about Princess is that she's not a precocious toddler, aside from her intelligence she's progressing pretty normally for a child her age. I always hate that in baby reincarnater stories where the baby is basically just a very small ten year old.

Gently enveloping the target with indiscriminate love.
I am a bit sad because I have lost an excuse for recommending Sekai Maou. Previously it was the closest thing to an isekai that is good and finished.

Actually, the "Sister of a summoned saint does home cooking" manga is also a finished isekai. I almost forgot about it, and can't look up the name while mangadex is down.

e: And of course the best isekai ever is also technically finished, as it is a oneshot. I mean the one by the Hinamatsuri author.

This Village Sim NPC Could Only be Human

Just found this one. Not technically an Isekai, but definitely in the ballpark. A shut-in stuck at home gets a package in the mail, for a "shockingly realistic" village sim game. He doesn't get sucked into it or anything, just takes care of a few refugees with a one-page message a day and some miracles that he doesn't have the points to use much of yet.

No major red flags so far, the art is good, and although it's slow going I think it might accelerate soon. Especially since in the latest chapter the offerings the villagers have made to him in the game just started getting mailed to his real life house.

There's also +α no Tachiichi for finished isekai.

Two girls gets summoned to another world. One (the MC) is accidental and is passed over as the saintess while the other apparently doesn't have much power. There's a lot of politicking in this one, but enough action to keep it from being just a series of rooms full of people talking.

Thanks to whoever suggested Returner's Magic, this is really good and I wish I'd found out about it 4 years from now because I'm on chapter 101 now.

Any other suggestions for good Leviathan Scans stuff? I'm reading Sword King and Dungeon Reset and that's it. You guys mentioned a couple where the MC just watched people die in front of him and wasn't really bothered to save them when he could've so if it's not that, I'd appreciate it.
