I'm looking for a shoujo or josei manga that has more mature topics, like pregnancy, rape, and infidelity. It's ok if these things don't happen to the main character as long as they are addressed as part of the main plot. Yaoi is fine if it has these themes and other genres are okay if they have strong female leads. 1c5v6p

Shuuseki Kairo no Himawari

Moonlight Flowers are josei GL, so I'm not sure you'll want to read them, but since you didn't specify no GL, and they are josei...

Banana Fish -- Though in these two, they happen and the protagonist deals with it, but since she/he is pretty tough it doesn't seem to faze them too much, so I'm not sure you'd like it. It's not brushed off as a trivial matter, though, so there is that.

And when you say 'mature themes,' do you only want manga that deal with rape, pregnancy and infidelity? Because there are titles that handle abuse, bullying, neglect, etc., but since I'm not sure whether you're looking for those themes here, I didn't mention them.
