There's too many Shoujo topics here and not enough Josei. >.>;;

Pretty self explanatory. What was the first Josei you ever read?

Mine was Kimi kara no Resume. I didn't know it was Josei at the time, I actually believed it to be shoujo. xD But the atmosphere and the slowly-developing plot seemed different, after searching for it I found out it was Josei and what exactly Josei was. Have been hooked on to Josei since. Still remains a fav of mine. ;3

Hope this isn't a repeat. @_@;;

Maybe Nodame Cantabile. Or something else, perhaps.

I believe it was Petshop of Horrors or Otona no Mondai.

I checked Japanese sites and found that Otona no Mondai was serialized in Hanaoto, which is a BL magazine. Not sure why it's labeled josei. But BL is technically josei, right? O_O

Erm... it may have been Midnight Secretary. I think that was also my first Mature manga... o_O"

GUESS WHO??

I'm not sure, but it may have been Sheet no Sukima or Shuukatsu.

I want to say it was Shuukatsu though.

If you've ever thought or said "Nice Guys finish last" and really meant it, then you should probably read this LJ post by DivaLion. It's incredibly insightful whether you're male or female.

From a bumper sticker I like:
"If you're gonna ride my ass, at least pull my hair."

Most likely Pieta.

I believe it was Soryanaize Darling.

Kimi wa Pet - Just one volume though, years ago. Should finish reading it sometime in the future

I think it was Paradise Kiss, but I'm not too sure. Might have been Kimi wa Pet instead.

So much uncertainty in the replies so far. But I had to go check my lists too just to be sure. I only read josei by chance. I never sought it out.
