There's so many... NANA is the one I hate the most normally, but I also don't like Fruits Basket and Vampire Knight, and hate them whenever I see people gushing over them. I can't stand how people act like they're masterpieces. Kimi ni Todoke bores me as well.

Shugo Chara - I used to like it but now the plot doesn't seem to even progress. Not to mention Amu is acting like a high schooler when she's only in elementary school.
Perfect Girl Evolution - I read a few volumes but the art is not good and also the plot seems to be non ending. Just drags on for a long...time
Skip Beat- characters.And Kyoko may never figure out who she likes while watching the other men fight for her is just annoying.
He Dedicated To Roses- I really like Hwang mi Ri's works, but this one is not that good. At first I had hoped the fun would last for a while, but they fell in love WAY too quickly and the rest of the story they just looked like gay people. Apparently, the girl also loses her spunk when she's not dressed as a boy, so that really kills my interest with a manhwa so long.
Naruto - I used to love the series and watch it all the time. But after so many volumes of good fighting scenes, Naruto really isn't maturing at all, and the feud with Sasuke really needs to end...

Naruto is a shounen, but yeah, I dislike it as well.

The Devil Within - Not one of the mangaka's best works. The heroine was extremely annoying, loud, rude, etc. And she was a total pedo bear. Yeah, that was weird.... >.>
Fall in Love like a Comic! - The heroine in this looks like she's five, and the plot was really unrealistic.
Shinshi Doumei Cross - The plot was uninteresting and I couldn't will myself to read the second volume.In fact, I don't really like any manga by TANEMURA Arina. The art is too flowery and there's too much going on with the screentones.
Cynical Orange - It was nice for awhile and then the heroine turned out to be a a big jerk after reading it for a few chapters. A really pretty jerk but it seems like there's not much else to her.
The Magic Touch -The art is rather unattractive and awkward. I still don't get the girl's obsession with MASSAGING someone. o.o

Vampire knight. Somehow i read 5 volumes of it, but after the first chapter i didnt like it... I think I liked the idea of reading a manga (book form) more lmao. Yeah that was my first time reading a manga IRL not on the comp.
Hmm I also didnt like Kaichou wa maid sama or Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu but im not sure if those are considered popular... I do however LOVE Nana and cant belive people wrote this one down T__T

Popular shojo mangas that I don't like:
Shugo Chara - I don't like the flow of the story and Amu is just too much of a Mary Sue. It's just not my of cup of tea for a manga, but I found it fine as an anime.
Kyou Koi wo Hajimemasu - I found the story messed up and a little screwed.
Kimi ni Todoke - Cliche.
Faster than A kiss - It was fine as a one-shot but as a series, it's really boring. I was yawning in the middle of reading it. The flow of the story is too tiresome.
I'm not really fond of manhwas, sometimes they are good at the beginning and then turned out to be a disappointment like He is Dedicated to Roses.

I hate Fruits Basket. I don't know why so many people get so excited about this manga. Tohru is one of the most annoying characters ever.
I thought that Vampire Knight would be the kind of shoujo manga I like - nice art, action, some romance - but I was disappointed. There seems to be nobody normal in this manga, each character has some psychological problems.
Fushigi Yuugi - I don't like manga where every male is in love with the main female character. I hate all the manga by Watase Yuu.
Revolutionary Girl Utena - this one is so bad, that I won't list all the things I didn't like about it. It's so melodramatic that it makes me sick.

For me probably Special A, since it started out funny but then I got SO tired of just waiting for the main characters to get a brain and get together. And when they did it just was boring.
And then Love Monster for the unnecessary plot and smut.
Same with Midnight Secretary.
Suki, Angel Sanctuary and [m]Shugo Chara[/m] are up there with my wish-I-never-read list.

I'm okay with most of it except..
Kyo, Koi wo Hajimemasu - When i first start to read it(first few chapters), it was okay. The smut-ness in it was still -okay- but as I read on, the smut gets "more indepth" and then, I realised it's tagged mature. (In some sites, it is .)
=.= The storyline isn't fantastic or anything.. and I don't even bother to follow it already. The girl was just too irritating as far as I could remember.
Vampire Knight - I don't know why is it still popular when the storyplot is getting stagnant. I've stopped reading it when the story advances to the "dark" side. Okay, Yuuki is getting a little irritating and I could no longer "read for the sake of the art".

Nodame Cantabile - the main girl is dumb, I can take Tohru Honda, but not this one, she pushed it.
Let Dai - this one was psycho-analysed in every single review in MU, and while reading the first volume all I got was 'random wimp falls in love with jerk and jerk abuses him and his loved ones to no extent' WTF??!!!
Hachimitsu to Clover - the first chapter tricked me, it was hella funny and then...came the next chapter.
Dengeki Daisy - basically a total bishie with a hidden dark past who is a total jerk to the heroine, also he has to protect the said heroine who is a ditzy brother-complex girl - there's just something horrifying for me to know how popular this is and I seem to be the only one who feels disgusted by it, it's cliched, moronic, depicts an abusive - co-dependant relationship, I trudged through 2 volumes in anger and disappointment, enough was enough when the cliched moment made an appearance where the heroine gets sick and he has to come and help her cold pass over - it's on my onhold list as I'm waiting for his identity to be revealed to see whether this relationship and storyline gets any better. Besides, how can this guy be so intelligent, talented, a mastermind while the girl can be....Kurosaki makes me 3hjrpwaesfhsdjfgsdhfsdfhosidfsdhfdsiofjlskdhfsodji!!!!!
[m]Hot Gimmick[m]- it's obvious, even the fans for this have a love-hate relationship with it, that's when you know what a bad shoujo is.
[m]Skip Beat[m] - I found the girl too ridiculous, and I find it depressing knowing that she's going to end up with the jerk either way, real strong heroines move on and fall for someone that respects them.
(I just searched through my unfinished list for these, there might be more out there that I've not managed to put on my custom lists)

Nana - tried to get into this sense it was so popular, but it wasn't really that great. Guess not enough comedy to suit my tastes.
Perfect Girl Evolution - Read the first couple volumes, but still couldn't really like it.
Vampire Knight - Loved the first 3 volumes but afterward... just got sick of it.
D.N.Angel - lol I don't like when the "badass" is becomes some hopeless romantic, read the first couple volumes though.
Kimi ni Todoke - another that was just boring for me
Kare Kano - it looks really good but the first couple chapters weren't that interesting.
