Quote from Contently
I remembered another one: In a bunch of school-life shounens i've read, there's always a scene where a hot/cute girl talks to some guy and the guys friends get a murderous look and confront him saying "I'll never forgive you" or "you bastard" etc etc... it's kind of annoying really >>
-More like everyone in the school hates the guy. I can't stand those scenes. Makes me want to drop a series completely.
-Another annoying cliche is when someone has a huge issue about taking something from a destroyed town, shop, etc. Normally it happens is survival genres. Like, the person will be starving, but they'll be conflicted about taking food from an abandoned store in a town after a civilization ending catastrophe. So much so that they leave money or not take it at all. Nobody is like that.
-This line: "Just an average high/middle school student..."
-The fact every one of the student "delinquents" (especially middle school) look like adults with facial hair and crap.
-Student Council President is cool and popular with everyone. I don't know about you guys, but every one of those I've met were loser in every way except academically.
-Also, we can't forget the borderline retarded ecchi cliches, like a guy bumping into a girl and have his face planted between her tits or legs. Evidently, nobody uses their arms to catch themselves.
-The male lead get hugged or kissed and freaks out saying something stupid like "What was that?!!?!?" and/or he runs away.
-Someone takes a full-force slash from a sword, either barely bleeds with minimal bandaging or blood geysers with, still, minimal bandaging. Stitches are rarely, if ever, used. Also, everyone seems to have a 2nd, 3rd and 4th wind (meaning they get beat up nearly to death, get up and fight better than the first time only to get beat again, and this repeats until the main character wins all in one fight).
-Everyone is a virgin.
-Almost every girl has huge tits and none are fat.
-Everyone's parents work overseas for years at a time and they live alone.
Damn, I could go on all day, but I think this post is getting annoyingly long.
Basically, the worse shounen cliche in a shounen manga
