So first, I will explain what josei means.
Josei it's a genre associated to describe some mangas. Literally it means "Woman". The genre targets women between 18-30. Female equivalent to seinen. Unlike shoujo the romance is more realistic and less idealized. The storytelling is more explicit and mature.
I'm still reading shoujo, but at my ages is harder and harder to read cliches so my interests developed towards this genre that even targets my age. XD

Dropped or discontinued by the author:
1. The Boy From the Moon [1 recommendation]
2. Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol-La-Si-Do [1 recommendation]
3. Nana [2 recommendation]
Some titles that I loved and would recommend to anyone:
1.) The Boy From the Moon - it's a shame it was dropped by the author, but even that one volume makes it worth it.
2.) Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol-La-Si-Do - another grate title put on hiatus by the manhwaka [I'm so unlucky when picking them *wah*]
3.) Talking about - really enjoyable.
4.) The Other Side of the Mirror - it was a little short, but the art was great. and the oneshot 99 roses from the first volume was excellent!
5.) Blanc Marie - really funny josei oneshot
6.) A Funeral Procession of K - different and addictive! It talks about one's obsession for love.
7.) Dokuhime - It's still ongoing, but the story looks really promicing
8.) Vampire girl - actually, I've read all of Fujiwara Kaoru's works. they are all little jewels just waiting to be admired. I really recommend all her works :) .
I'll come later with some more recommendations. Till then feel free to list your favorites and talk about the ones you liked best :) .
