Pretty self-explanatory. I'm tired of shoujo where the girl will always do completely altruistic stuff to boys other than her boyfriend (usually a thinly-veiled attempt by the author to draw out the plot with jealousy and love triangles).

I'm tired of things like the girl agreeing to be some other boy's art model, attending some other boy's concert just because he gave her a free ticket, going on a date with another boy and masquerading it as "he's just trying to cheer me up", or agreeing to work at some other boy's part time job with him.

And most importantly, the worst kind of "kind to everyone" behavior that's something along the lines of:
>guy forces himself on the heroine, confesses
>she monologues something like "I never knew he thought of me that way!" or "I always thought he was just teasing me!" (when he was obviously flirting)
>she keeps it a secret from her bf
>meets with her assailant alone again or something
>actually APOLOGIZES and says "I can't go out with you."
>bf finds out and forgives both parties
>somehow she stays friends with the guy who assaulted her

Just any shoujo that particularly avoids these tropes. The heroine being emotionally frivolous and the guy rolling over and forgiving everything, without the slightest intention of correcting her actions. Something similar to the "realistic relationship" tag when it's used correctly. Where the mangaka doesn't seem to have a disconnect over what constitutes faithfulness in an actual relationship.

Beauty Pop

Romance is mild, but there is a slight love triangle, but the girl is never emotionally/physically manipulated by the 3rd wheel.
