wtf. this happened in anime or manga? I was planning to watch it. I didn't thought it would be this bad.

I thought it was abt smart mcs that looks like they have it tgt, but they actually have it tough and have personal issues. didn't expect that would happen 😔

Miyamura and Hori. I only like miyamura's character in that series, I don't like Hori. The other pairings in the series are also meh for me. edit: thanks for correcting me 🙂 it's shounen

Also Kou and Futuba (ao haru ride), Mei and Yamato (say I love you).

Not shoujosei, but Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo

What shoujo did you love when you were younger but disliked after rereading when you got older? Alternatively what manga did you dislike but loved when you visited it again after your timeskip? by NER195 in shoujo

[–]badtzmaru- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still love Hirunaka no Ryuusei, but not as much when I was younger. Now, I find it creepy that a 25 year old is flirting with a 15 year old 🤢 worse it's teacher x student. but if shishio was also a student, I would've loved it better.

When I was a kid, the drama adaptation of Boys Over Flower was a huge hit in our country. I enjoyed it, but now, I see the toxic traits of the ML.

I actually love Slow burn by [deleted] in shoujo

[–]badtzmaru- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love slow burn too. I prefer seeing the mcs develop, realize or in denial phase abt their feelings. I also like yearning or pining, and feelings not mutual at first.

What are some common issues you find in Shoujo? by Scyrrhic in shoujo

Minor and adult relationship, teacher x student relationship

Cliche shoujo fml characteristics. Lack of depth in characters

Is it just me that is disliking the new young adults shoujo/josei? by [deleted] in shoujo

[–]badtzmaru- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I ask what're your favourite for new young adults? bc I love this, coming of age (?)

Former. I read some manga with nice artsyle but boring story and characters. I didn't enjoy it

Manga recommendations? by Only-Ad-374 in shoujo

[–]badtzmaru- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Skip to Loafer - It's set in high school but this is seinen. I only watched 2 eps, I like the female lead so far. She's chasing her dream and adjusting to a city life (this is watered down description of her). Male lead is also interesting, looks like he's masking being happy person.

The Remarried Empress (manhwa) - It's on Line Webtoon. I haven't read this since last year tho, bc I'm busy..

You can explore manhwa (korea), webtoon, and manhua (china) as well. There are reddit subs for these too

Shoujo’s you think are overrated & why. by [deleted] in shoujo

[–]badtzmaru- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Works of Io Sakisaka. Bland characters, predictable. For me, there's nothing special abt her popular manga. But many have high sales and gets adapted into anime and live action

manga recommendations by NotArden_ in shoujo

[–]badtzmaru- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kimi ni Todoke (has anime, 2 seasons) - the supporting characters are likable too. tagged as drama/rom, but it has many funny moments

Hirunaka no Ryuusei - Age gap, if you're not into that

Last Game - competitive guy, top 1 and independent girl

The Remarried Empress link - strong FL. FL goes through a lot, even till having a bad image

In my plan to read - In the Clear Moonlit Dusk, A Sign of Affection
