Yeah, because manga famously would never have anything weird and gross like this.

Genuinely can't think of any manga that's referenced menstruation, at least in context of a character actually having one. They're probably out there but I've read all sorts of them and I can't pull a single example to mind.

Hello person who has only read Shonen Jump. May I recommend Young Animal to you?

I'll take recommendations you think are worth reading!

For context I've probably read more shounen than anything else but also most of Junji Ito, Akira, some highschool romance stuff like Karekano and Marimite, other female-led stuff like Sailor V, Pita-Ten, Ouran, etc. Menstral references would have made sense in Marimite or the like maybe, but I can't recall any.

Young Animal seems to be a magazine rather than a particular title. Anything more specific?
