It's not what I said in my application essay, but a fair part of why I wanted to go to this kind of school is because I was roped into the rose-screentoned image of the distaff side of academia in manga. I love series about all-girl schools. In fact, at the moment I don't want to read or watch anything but them.
And I'm running out! I've already read some or all of Aoi Hana, Oniisama e, Shiroi Heya no Futari, Maria-sama ga Miteru, G-senjo no Maria, Nowhere to Go,In the Afternoon... The Secret Stairs, Applause, Sakura Namiki, High School Girls, Greenhouse Dancing Club, Pieta, Expressions of Love, and First Love Sisters.
I'd like to find more to read. I prefer works set in really beautiful schools that emphasize the setting, a perfect example of which is The Secret Stairs. Points if the setting isn't Japan. The more idyllic and romanticized, the better. I like shoujo-ai, but I don't like yuri. I can't stand ecchi or even light fanservice, and the squishy moe art style makes my eyes retreat into the back of my head, so for those reasons I don't like most shounen and seinen that fall into this category.
As you can see, though, I do make exceptions, so feel free to rec whatever you've come across. Do go ahead and rec any movies, anime, novels, or other works that fit the filters, too. I don't know how long I'm going to be in this binge, after all.
There's an All Girls School category now, which is helpful, but I've already looked through there and most of the ones that aren't ecchi were added by me.
So what do you say? Will you help me feed my delusion until I find out what an all-girl school is really like?
