I am reading the graphic adaptation - Part III: Manga ~comments included~
The original list was closing in on a hundred title so I decided to cut it in three parts, one for each country.

Here are the comic adaptations of japanese novels that I read, I’m reading or will read in the near future.

Part I (Manhwa/Korean): https://www.novelupdates.info/viewlist/17612/

The manga is complete with three volumes. It’s a bit too short to have a proper development and the romance is quite rushed but it’s a nice read nonetheless. MC is a really cool MC.... more>>

It’s cute, with OP characters and a super mega awesome power that MC has.

The huge big age-gap threw me off. I usually like age difference but not when it starts a adult/kid.

Manga seems to be skipping the prologue, or maybe will use flashbacks? In any case, novel has a lot more details.

    I've read shoujo before I knew many other genres (namely, male protag/action/comedy books lol). Thanks for your effort in making the list :) these seem fun

      But seriously, kusuriya hitorigoto's manga and novel are both well-thought out and very fun and interesting, so I recommend you go ahead with it :) 

      Kumo desu ga nani ka manga action and art is great, novel starts great but becomes boring -- I don't know for you, but at that time long ago I lost interest, but still a recommend cus its above-average subjectively.

      Herscherik reincarnated prince series has a woman reincarnated as a boy-prince so you should try it, it has a womanly style (it's the vibes I get from it) and has good writing as far as I can remember. 

      Hikaru ga Chikyuu ni Itakoro is good, has a manga for some volumes -- it is a harem, but not the bad kind, I haven't got to the ending but it's absolutely not fanservice-ecchi plot and really it's not biased towards males as far as I remember; the girls are written as love interests only and I totally love their characterization and parts. It also has lots of character development, character interaction, and touching feels (ugh, right in the kokoro!) so try it.

      I'll live my second life has a female protag (I'm unsure if transmigrator, reincarnator?). It's not for this list as it has no manga, but it's so fun if you haven't read it yet.

      I actually never read shoujo outside of novel adaptations. Sometimes a josei, but rarely, I am still stuck into my shounen teenager years, mostly. But the novels I read -web, light or normal- are very very girly lol.

      I think I like the novel Kusuriya Hitorigoto better than the manga but I only read the first volume entirely so far. 

      I will totally check the other titles, tho! I did not even know the spider one has a manga adaptation. Thank you!
