If you haven't noticed, this IS a popularity contest.
This here is poll number 2 of our series of "Best" polls! This time around, we got shoujo! Thank you to the 150 people who gave shoujo series suggestions that deserve to be named the best. And curse those people whose posts that I deleted because they didn't follow my rules. Again, if your favorite series isn't up there, sucks for you. You may think it's the best, but not everyone else thinks the same way. Also again, this poll is not up for discussion on our forums. By the way, some great titles that didn't make the top 5 were suggested, so if you're an avid shoujo reader, I really do recommend you check out the other series in this thread:

As an interesting side note, I only haven't read Mars. And I know which series will win without even doing this poll...
I would also like to thank the many people who for the first time made a post on our forums just to make some suggestions~
In case you were wondering, the five runner-ups are as follows (in this order):
Hana Yori Dango
Koukou Debut
Basara
Beast Master
Cat Street
If you're wondering how a particular series did, just PM me.
For the next poll, we're doing seinen series. Make your suggestions here:

Previous Poll Results:
Question: Best Shounen
Choices:
One Piece - votes: 4138 (28.5%)
Fullmetal Alchemist - votes: 3455 (23.8%)
Death Note - votes: 2917 (20.1%)
Great Teacher Onizuka - votes: 2180 (15%)

And we got a winner! One Piece it is! Notice that Naruto and Bleach aren't up there...
As an interesting side note (again), Claymore is the highest rated series out of all those choices, yet it didn't garner as many votes

So many overrated shoujo titles up there.
Hana Kimi was a bore.
Ouran was a bore.
Furuba was a bore.
Mars is a great shoujo manga on the other hand.
But my love for Skip Beat knows no ends.
(And yeah, I can predict the winner too.)

No NANA? Hana Yori Dango? I like most of those titles in the poll, but there's a huge gaping hole if you forget those two. HYD is one of the best selling shoujo of all time followed by NANA.

I completely agree! Basara and HYD, IMO, are the best ever! However, I'm glad at least Skip Beat and Mars are on the poll (the rest of the titles ARE overrated).

As expected, these polls aren't an indicator of "best", really.
Only of "most popular".

Well, "best" is very subjective. What you considered as "overrated" is what others considered as "best". It's just that the majority has similar opinion.

A difficult choice for me, I voted for Fruits Basket in the end, but Skip Beat is haunting me.
