Do you have a love/hate relationship with Shoujo manga's? If you do what are the manga's that make you hate shoujo and what make you love it?

For me I hate Uwasa no Midori-Kun and manga's like Mamotte Agemasu

But what keeps me reading Shoujo are manga's like Suna no shiro,Auto Focus 1/2 Prince Dengeki Daisy ad Flowers of evil!

And I acutally do hate alot more than those two shoujo manga's but I hate those the most! And I put more shoujo's that I liked cuz I wanted to acknowledge those shoujo that stand out xD

I actually am in the same position as you. I'm not a shojo hater per se...maybe a shojo skeptic or something. But most of what I read is terrible and just confirms my opinion that shojo is just bad.

But when something truly wonderful like Dengeki Daisy comes along, the reason I recommend it to basically everyone and gush about it for hours is because I've found a diamond in the rough. (ZOMG it's so good even I like it! is what I say to only a few series)

These are series that give me the courage to give shojo another chance.

It is a love/hate relationship.

i like shoujo series where the girl and the guy naturally fall in love with each other. i dont like it when the super duper hot guy of the school somehow falls in love with the main character girl who's an idiot/dimwit/etc... nowadays i dont read very many shoujo titles. :/ it's hard for me to find a shoujo series where the girl is natural, cute, and headstrong.

You are like the dense main character in a shoujo manga.

Quote from Crenshinibon

And you will murder someone one day, pika. If you're my daughter.

I'm male so I'm not the target audience so I have no real right to say I hate Shoujo manga, but I do hate it. Like mentioned in the comment above its about a "super duper hot guy" getting the protagonist which has some character flaws, but still likely to be a hottie. It’s not supposed to be the reader relating to this male lead, but as I am one I can’t help it. Looking at the man I see someone who I wouldn’t like in real life and then when the protagonist likes this man I feel disgust. In all the Shoujos I’ve attempted to read that is what its about so in turn I hate it.

An instant or an eternity. Both are the same, in the passing of an instant lies the beauty of eternity.

And it's funny how these characters are written so that female readers can symathize with the main girl and swoon over the perfecthotjerkass male lead. It's a problem with shojo, but I'll like the male lead if he is a realistic sympathetic well-developed character who I can root for.

I'm female btw

this totally...
but i just happen to love reading shoujo at times when i dont like to think much.. if i want to try exercising my brain i would just go for seinen of josei.. which i kindda love right now.. 😀

oh please do click this!
The sweeter the apple, the higher the branch. The quieter the fart, the nastier the smell.
GUESS WHO??

the mangas that makes me love shoujo are:
dengeki daisy
beast master
bloody kiss
purikyuu
koi, hirari
you're my girlfriend
otokomae beads club
seishun survival
penguin prince

the ones that makes me hate shoujo i dont bother clicking it. but i hate the type where the girl is shy, cant stand up for themselves, nobody believes her...those type, i just dislike sooo much. 🤢

honestly, i love reading shoujo.
its amusing.
and I think the art is prettier than other genres.

I like shoujo with no romance in them. The only shoujo mangaka who can write romance and not infuriate me are CLAMP (X , RG Veda) and Ono Fuyumi (Ghost Hunt).

Manga that make me hate shoujo ;

• All shoujo smut manga

• Every shoujo romance manga in this site's top hundred (excluding Ghost Hunt). And yes, this includes Dengeki Daisy , Skip Beat! , Vampire Knight , Kimi ni Todoke , Nana , He's Dedicated to Roses , Boy of the Female Wolf , Tokyo Crazy Paradise and many, many more that I couldn't be bothered to remember.

Manga that make me love shoujo

• Non-romance shoujo such as Himitsu , Doubutsu no Oishasan , Flat (AOGIRI Natsu) and God Child are absolutely wonderful!

And yes, I am a girl 🙂

;~; I agree with a lot of the posts.

I'm not a romantic person in general and irl I prefer hanging out with guys. So it's hard for me to actually like a girl character.

The girls either annoy the heck out of me...

Example:
Mars: Man, I felt like the main girl was whiny, controlling, nut job. I stopped reading at volume 7, but up to then, I never felt that she improved herself as a person. She kept trying to change the male lead. I honestly, I didn't understand why the male lead stuck with such an annoying girl. If this was real life, she'd be dumped in a heartbeat.

Or the girls are completely dedicated to relationships. They think that it's the most important part of their life. They tend to make a big deal out of nothing.

Example:
Koukou Debut: She use to be a star softball player and then boom? All she wants is to find a boyfriend? I liked her better in the beginning.

Honestly, these girls should be more independent. And stop being stupid and crazy. Looking at it from a guy's perspective, I don't understand how most of these girls can get a guy much less the hottest idol.

Hmm, I feel like I like shoujo manga where the romance is secondary. And the romance is normal paced. Haha, although a lot of times I see "D: this manga's pace is so slow" as comments to the mangas I like.

One of my favorites is Cat Street. I continuously sit around blindly looking for something that could match it.

So yeah, because of the lack of a good female lead I tend to like shounen manga more.

I really love shoujo manga if the boy is not irritating me and kind (ex:hiyokoi)
and i find it amusing for me maybe because i'm a girl 🙂

yeah yeah just a girl who like reading comic and play japanese otome game and don't like to study because it's annoying. well i really love comic all genre except mecha,yaoi,yuri and hentai no please gosh !
