And are you saying you like that, or not, heywhatsthat?
Funkmu, maybe you just read it as a way to lose weight.
Edit: I apologize for any confusion about what was directed at whom.
They say it's the thought that counts, but then they tell you, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions......"

I'm saying that I like shojo where romance isn't the first layer of plot. For instance, Ouran High School Host club, romance isn't the major driving force of the plot, although it's there and it's a huge part of it, it's not as important as other aspects. Same with Perfect girl evolution.
Hahaha yes yes, reading overly romantic shojo causes me temporary bulimia 😛
I like the ones where the guy and the girl accidently kiss and it becomes akward between them then they end up together 😀

One of the couple gets sick, other takes care of him/her.
It's a fav of mine in every type of manga though.
And a guy's blush after the partner says something cute. XD. (not sure how cliche it is though).
Hrodulf and Bjornolfr, you will not be forgotten.

I think the best is when a girl is surrounded by her lover and has to make a choice on who she wants to be with .... although I have never seen a ending to it. they always end before she chooses -.-

For some reason, I think it's cute when the girl has to dress up as a boy at school and winds up falling in love with her class/roommate (usually), who inevitably finds out (fairly early) that she's a girl and then wants to help her hide it.
Ouran High School Host Club
Boku ni Natta Watashi
Uwasa no Midori-kun!!
Hana Kimi
and the list goes on....
EDIT: I also like the girls who wind up with "the most dangerous guy in school" (because the girl usually has to have some brains).
Beast Master
Akutou Danshi Collection
Osaerarenai
Kemono ni Botsuraku Ojousama
Sora Log
If you've ever thought or said "Nice Guys finish last" and really meant it, then you should probably read this LJ post by DivaLion. It's incredibly insightful whether you're male or female.

I like the ones with a tough guy falling in love with a shy girl. I don't know if people wrote that down already, because I didn't read the answers, but that's my opinion.

Okay, I know this is one of the most hated cliches...
But I like it when the mean\possesive guy falls in love with the naive girl.....who falls in love with another super nice guy and a love triangle ensues..... 😮 !
Maybe it's because only nice, boring guys like me. I need a mean bishie!

my favorite is gotta be...uhmmm...when the bad boy got sick then the girl takes care of him and he was so helpless...KYAAAA!!...and i also love it when they got stock in isolated places together cause they always end up confessing and telling things to each other...and yeah its better when the two of this are combined!!!
im also a sucker for a somewhat sadist girl that always kicks the crap out of the boy she really likes...yeah the tsundere types!! 😀 😀

..Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.........
in SOME plots with has a "Guy meets girl" cliche..like the plot in Princess
and............................arranged....marriage.....cliche..
and.......Love hate relationships..(but not always)
I also enjoy Concubinage and mistress themed plot..
So far, the only romance shoujo manga that I'm so EMO into are the ones in 1001 Nights, Princess, Doll Garden and Antique Romance

I always love it when the girl is sick and the guy has to take care of her. Kinda like a reversal of roles. It's soooo cuuuute... 😀 <3
I'm not too fond of that =x
It's too unrealistic.In most societies, people are selfish and won't help you, even if you are sick -_-.
I have tons of personal experience that says otherwise.
Anyway, I really like the somewhat unrealistic used-to-be-friends/sweethearts-the-one-moved-away-and-comes-back-years-later. Maybe because that actually happened to me...?
I also really like arranged marriages that end in love.
I am a breath of insanity in a world of chaos.

Is there such a thing?
Hmmm..but when I think about it it would probably be the gender switch, often used in shoujo manga. When a girl is pretending to be a boy. It's not realistic but I find it fun. All other cliches annoy the hell out of me 😀 I still read mostly shoujo manga. What does that say about me? I obviously like torture. 😀

I love it when the girl and the guy likes each other. Like, they are so perfect for each other! Everyone else notices except the two. 🤣
