That being said, there was a lot more fantasy manga starring women this year, especially after the success of series like Ascendance of a Bookworm and My Next Life As a Villianess.
Of course, just because the protagonist is a woman doesn't mean a manga series will be fair or decent to her.
WHO SAYS WARRIORS CAN'T BE BABES? (Onna Senshitte Motenain Desu!), by Taijiro. First published in 2018 and first published in North America in 2020.
PLOT:
Long ago, a young girl was inspired by a handsome hero. She trained hard so that she could fight at his side as a warrior. Now she's a super-powered warrior woman, but she's so strong that no one (least of all the Hero) thinks of her as a girl! Now she's on her own personal quest to make the Hero love her, and she will fight anyone or anything that gets in her way.
