I agree with Five. And I would say Hiyokoi, but that's just my opinion, so it doesn't really matter. But I have to say that I really tried to read it. I was sure that I had already passed chapter 30, and then I saw it was still not out. And had not even read half of the chapters that were out at that time.

Awww... a lot of you guys are just naming popular shoujos that you didn't like. Go for the throat with the rock-bottom bad, couldn't bear to finish it awful!

I can't stand all the worst aspects of smut shoujo (powerless, fall in love with your rapist heroines), so I typically avoid them for that reason. Therefore, I wouldn't say these are necessarily the worst shoujo manga out there (in my opinion, smut shoujo usually produces the worst); these are just ones I read and gave really low ratings to:

Boku ni Natta Watashi
Danshi Kinshitsu!!
Fujimi Orchestra (<--Ran in a shoujo magazine though it centers on a gay relationship)
Koibana! - Koiseyo Hanabi
Lovenista
Parfait Tic!
Tenshi no Naka ni Akuma Ari
Uwasa no Midori-kun!!
Watashi no... Megane-kun

ETA:

Orange Chocolate (<--Not a horrible manga, but I just happen to despise it.)
Priceless
Toukyou Erogance
Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu

There's a hell of a lot of shoujo I can't stand--a lot of which have been listed. Never finished Special A, Parfait Tic, Vampire Knight, etc... but I didn't hate them. They were just bad, or, very mediocre.

The two that come to mind and that I find myself mentioning often are Koizora and Hana ni Nare!. These two are the epitome of everything that I hate in a shoujo, or a manga, or a story for that matter.
The foremost is a attempt at a "slice-of-life" where the author throws sad shit at the audience expecting them to sympathize or at least feel pity for the characters. Instead the characters are flat, fake, and not to mention highly unlikeable. What's worst about it is that it chucks in rape to be ultra-dramatic, without thinking at all about how serious such a subject is.
The latter is just a harem where the guys by the dozen pop out of nowhere and fawn over the lead female, who in this case "smells seductive" or something along those lines. It's shallow, simpler than a straight line, and is stupider than holding up a metal stick in a thunderstorm. It's bad and makes my stomach feel nauseous, but still it's not frustrating to the point that Koizora is for me, anyway.

Well I hate shoujo smut that's for damn sure - as if there could be anything worse! YET IT STILL EXISTS BECAUSE MORONS BUY IT. I swear I need a list of those consumers and just force them to actually build a sense of TASTE. That aside, the mainstream shoujo seems to be the worst stuff.

Ouran high school host club
Fruits Basket
Boku ni natta watashi
Vampire knight
100% perfect girl
Goong

Just grab any shoujo and you're guaranteed a 90% chance it's shit or will evolve into so later.

Skip Beat (dialogue is just all over the place).
Anything by Shinjo Mayu (there is no such thing as consensual rape.)
Anything with incest (I don't care if they aren't related by blood.)
Most 70s manga (melodramaaaa).

Yay for Shinjo Myu's hate club ! ^_^

Also I hate when all there is in the manga is drama, drama, and more super-annoying super-drama. Peach Girl for instance (and so many more... no )

i absoutely despise any mangas with bishonen guy who literally looked like a girl, take [url=http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=1088] for example, just ewww.

Rape scene by secondary character is getting old, get rid of it!

Actually everything about shojo manga is getting old...

Everything by Shinjo Mayu.. Her characters are always annoying as hell, the main guy is always a possessive lover, and the girl is always acting stupid. embarrassed
Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu Well, it started off well, but then the characters just became so stupid.
Fruit Basket Too fluffy.. Not my taste. dead
Ouran High School Host Club Just watched the anime though, but I feel like it's a sitcom, its not for me I guess. About the manga, I can't bear with her artwork
Suki desu Suzuki-kun!!
Hana Kimi
Gakuen Alice Actually, I was to force to read this by a friend who really liked this series, the beginning was okay, though it seemed too childish for me but I was able to bear with it. Later then, when Reo appeared, everything just got so complicated.. So I dropped this series right away.

If you mean in terms of romance anything by HYR or HMR... Shoujo wise, Fruits Basket, Black Bird, Ouran High School (It was good at first until...) I have such a long list I can't remember but those top it off...


I agree with most (except Ouran High). I also don't like:
Quote from theLettuceGarden04
Okay dokey- I'm the type that don't like popular stuff too that much and here they are:
-Vampire Knight (urrgh, just looking at it...)
-Hana Kimi & Peach Girl (I read it since I had a hardcopy access)
-Perfect Girl Evolution
-Shinshi Doumei Cross
-Hana Yori Dango
-Lovely Complex
-Any Watase Yuu's ...

Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu - I got bored after 3 chapters, totally got goosebumps several chapters after.

I wouldn't consider Vampire Knight as worst just because even though it got crappy towards the later chapter, it still had a good plot and is a better manga than what I mentioned above.

I've read terrible shoujos but I don't think I'd consider them as worst. And no, I don't read Shinjo Mayu's works(except Goshimei desu! which I thought was okay), nor do I read any manhwas. And please do take note that I do not start mangas that seemed god-f awful from the summary. ALSO! I do not read a story with 'rape' and 'fell in love with her rapist' in it. One last thing, Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu is not the only manga I consider the worst, it's just the very first thing that popped into my head.

And yes, I feel like I'm doped right now. (le sigh)

Anything by Shinjou Mayu is usually something like or close to rape, so I avoid her series. Hwang Mi Ri has a serious case of same face when it comes to her heroines and her series are extremely repetitive. I was keeping up with Miunohri to Swan until I was spoiled (thankfully) of the end. I was hoping that MtS would be something different but it was the same in the end. Hm. I rather enjoy Skip Beat! despite the painfully long drag on for the series, Kyoko is a rather refreshing protagonist, cute, too.

Erm on my list Ouke No Monshou is probably up there. Abusive, possessive lover and it seems like the only guy who loves the mc that isn't possessive nor abusive was a dude she dumped for said lover. There's a few others that were terribad for me but I can't remember them at the moment.

Edit: Oh wait, Shugo Chara is up there, too. I just... no.

My list includes but is not limited to...

-Hot Gimmick
-Love Celeb
-Black Bird
-Anything that's mainly centered around smut

I used to be into that stuff, but I realized I was aching for series with more depth and less sex. Some that I hold my interest now are:

-Skip Beat
-Kimi ni Todoke
-Six Half
-Ouran High School Host Club

I'm really into innocent and pure love because of its genuineness. And innocent love doesn't get anymore apparent than in Kimi ni Todoke.

Now that I look at my list I can see I barely have any shoujo on it! It's rare to find quality shoujo nowadays.
