Hey everyone! I've recently had the urge to read some shojo manga but I have no idea what to read. So that's why I'm coming to you guys!
Personally my favorite mangas are Otomen, Emma, Nana, Paradise Kiss, Host Club, and pmuch every magical girl series (especially Sailor Moon and Shugo Chara)
I'm also a super sucker for over use of sparkles and lace tbh (it's not a shojo without sparkles and lace in my opinion lmao)
So uh yeah! Send me some rec my way!

Admittedly a lot of the Shojo I read isn't very sparkly or lacy (then again, it's been a while since I've read some of these, so maybe they are :p),
But maybe try;
Yumeiro Patissiere
it's about making sweets don't read when hungry will regret
Ore Monogatari!!
Beauty Pop
Skip Beat!
Dengeki Daisy
Kamisama Hajimemashita
Akatsuki no Yona (It's not the sparkly, magical, romance-heavy kind that Shojo usually brings to mind, but it's awesome, 10/10 totally recommend)
Nukoduke is, apparently, a Shojo and it's super adorable.
Oresama Teacher
Shiawase Kissa Sanchoume
Koisuru Harinezumi
Love So Life
Issho ni Neyou yo
Ok, I think that's all I got =v=

I mean it's still okay if they don't have all those sparkles and stuff no problem man :D
But funny thing is that I just bought the first volume of Akatsuki no Yona and I love it so far! It's like so cool!
Also Ore Monogatari!! is one of my absolute favorite series tbh I can't believe I forgot about it lmao
But thanks for the list they all look really great especially Yumeiro Patissiere (you had me at sweets tbh)

Most of the ones that I would recommend Rimfaxe already has covered but I would also recommend Mizutama Honey Boy. It's a comedy/romance shoujo between a masculine girl and a feminine boy. It's super funny and chapters for it are actively being released. :D

Edit: OMG How could I forget about Yamato Nadeshiko Shichihenge AKA The Wallflower! It is another romance/comedy shoujo about a group of beautiful boys that are tasked with turning their landlady's niece into a perfect lady.. except she is the total opposite- she loves darkness, horror, and grotesque stuff. I looove this series and it has an anime too!

Hmm... I actually need more shoujo manga. Usually I just watch shoujo animes instead. I also realized that I pretty much just put all mostly reverse harem.
Of the ones I know of off the top of my head that I've heard of and liked were uh:
Hana Yori Dango
Wallflower(yamato nadeshiko shichihenge)
Honey and Clover
Vampire Knight.
Absolute Boyfriend( If you're familiar with Yuu Watase( Fushigi Yuugi) she's the manga artist for this manga as well.)
Yona of the Dawn( I've only seen the anime though.)- It's Akatasuki No Yona in Japanese.

If you like Paradise Kiss, I bet you'd love Nana. You could also watch The Rose of Versailles, the OG shojo. It pretty much invented the ~sparkly~ trope. Revolutionary Girl Utena is great, too.
