Can anyone recommend me some shoujo manga whit good art work, like Shimaki Ako's works(Gekka no Kimi, Mucha Kucha etc)

thanks in advance

Ouran High School Host Club is good.

However.....I think the Twins are gay. Just look at the beginning of Ouran High School Host Club Episode 15. Seriously....why are they in the same bed?

It's a matter of tastes you know... Even though I don't like the drawing style (WAY to big eyes, ALL the guys beeing SO feminine looking, even the suposedly super bad boy...), I still do think that actually shoujos have generally a very good art quality.

I suppose you are right about the skinny body, big eyes, feminine guys. But it's what makes it shoujo. Not a lot of romance fans like big hairy muscle manly man........which is like looking at an ape or something. As they say, they want something "Refreshing!". Like a girl yet handsome guy. This goes a long way back into the earliest mythology made by human. Well technically if you count Beowulf as old, then its the stories after Beowulf. Cause Beowulf is about manly man. so stories after Beowulf. Like the story of King Arthur, Lancelot and such. I guess the conclusion is that feminine guys are the new fad in town for boy gay guys and regular girls.

On a side note......twins.....biologically identical. A clone of each other. Yet different personality develops as they grow older, even when their environment are constant. Why is this? Why?

Holy Crap, I talked a lot!

And I thought Hostile only likes Lolicon Phoenix......

Can't say I agree with Mucha Kucha Daisuke having good art but... to each his own.

I thought Alichino, Nana, Gokinjo Monogatari, OGAWA Yayoi titles, Love Monster, etc. look good. I actually like that last title.

The Bride of the Water God
Very detailed (to me)

In the paper today, tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the T.V. page
Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart

• Crowded House 'Don't dream it's over'

Classic shoujo?

Tanemura Arina (Full Moon, etc) does it well I think. Uh...can't remember everything I've read.

well, in my opinion...any shojou by Matsuri hino is well drawn...
she wrote MeruPuri and Vampire Knight...
NANA is well drawn too..

Cry "HAVOC!"
and let slip
the dogs of war.

Well you know...even though we think of them being in "the same environment" it's not really exactly the same to the point that they're going to have exactly the same experiences, etc. One wakes up hungry, cries, and is taken care of instantly; the second wakes up three minutes later and has to wait a bit because mom's already taking care of the first one. Running around in the yard one spontaneously trips and falls; the other trips over his brother and then falls. Hundreds of little differences like that happen every day, and even though each difference is so small, they do add up to different experiences of life.

My identical twin boys are 11 yrs old, and most definitely different from each other, though they're also very similar in a lot of ways. 😀 (And, btw, they do sometimes sleep in the same bed & lie beside/on top of each other on the couch or on the floor. There's nothing sexual about it, they're just very close brothers and physical contact is part of that closeness. Now the twins in Ouran...in the anime at least, it becomes very clear that they're purposely acting gay to please the fangirls even though they're not really.)

Pretty art - Matsuri Hino (Meru Puri, Vampire Knight, Toraware no Minoue), Emura (W-Juliet, Nana Iro no Shinwa, Michibata no Tenshi, Gokuraku Doumei), Takanashi Mitsuba (Devil Does Exist, Crimson Hero), Hayakawa Tomoko (Dengeki Love Machine, Perfect Girl Evolution). That's all that come to mind right now.

Oh Oh, Ask your brothers if they trust each other like they trust themselves. Ask them if they like each other. Ask them if they feel closer to each other than to their parents or sister or friend. Ask them what they think about each other.

Twins are fascinating don't you think? They are the perfect example of future cloning system.

Er well, they're actually my kids, not my brothers, but I'll try to remember to ask them after they get home from school. (^_~) They definitely have a special connection, though part of that is just from spending so much time together! They have their own private jokes, similar sense of humor, etc. Definitely best friends, but also worst enemies - they know exactly the best way to irritate each other too, lol!

They're different than scientifically cloned animals or whatever, though, because they've both grown at the same time. I mean...when an already living thing is cloned, there's an older "original" and a younger "clone", which you don't have with ID twins.

Yes!!! Finally, a real human subject to test my hypotheses.........Hope you don't mind, it's something to satisfy my curiosity. Say....why would a mother read Ouran Host Club......hmmmmm!!! Very suspicious.

Imagine that.....a whole continent of people born on the same day with the same DNA. AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Twins are cool. It's like having another you that you can trust all the time........or maybe it's the good twin and evil twin...or evil twin and evil twin.

Yeah, having twins is fun. 😀 A whole continent...hmmmm...well they'd be either all male or all female, and they'd all look (mostly) the same, so it'd be an interesting experiment but I wouldn't want to live there!

Good twin/evil twin...heh...well they trade off a lot. ^_~
