Quote from smell the pages
one thing that i hate most about shojo manga is that the main couple doesn't even communicate with each other at all!! 80% of dramas will not even happens! Also the innocent act is getting annoying, come on! why can't you create a character that is not innocent
This is also a cliche in a lot of shounen manga/anime and moe anime.
It's so unrealistic to the point of being annoying.
Perhaps this is due to the authors lacking ability to write.
They have to create "drama" this way otherwise they can't continue and make money (how many fillers they have made actually!).
Maybe this reflects the fact that a lot of manga anime fans in Japan are bad communicators so they think it's really normal.
Also in shoujo as well as shounen/anime, a crush is the end of the world, is your whole life. People would do anything for that. In reality, you forget a crush as soon as possible. Shounen and shoujo "romances" (a lot of anime also have this type of romance though they don't specify demographic) are not real romances at all. Don't ever take them seriously.
