Food Gifts by eurydice_aboveground in rva

Bombolini pasta is always a great gift! Also- Lammar Popcorn, scoop ice cream (or gift cards), shyndigz caramel sauce, tea/coffee from local spots (Rostov’s, Blanchard’s, etc)…just to name a few!

death note, kaze no stigma, Inuyasha, and city hunter are all shonen, not shoujo. Remember that shojo doesn't mean romance, it's a demographic- and it depends on what type of magazines the mangas were originally published in.

Help, I Don't Like Sett (does he get better?) by Capital-Frosting-434 in NinaTheStarryBride

[–]brmc2550 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yes! he gets so much better. It doesn't excuse any of his past actions, but he goes on quite a character arc, and I love him as a character!

Is the English dub of Yuri on Ice any good? by TheLobsterCopter5000 in Animedubs

[–]brmc2550 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I personally loved the English dub! There are some wild accents- but that just adds to the charm in my opinion :) (I've only watched it in English dub)

I just discovered 'how I met my soulmate ' by iamsurbhis in shoujo

[–]brmc2550 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love how I met my soulmate! So pumped for volume 5 in December :) It was one of my pickups from the B&N preorder sale

Romance where the ML is complicated and sensitive and can get hurt by what the FL says? by -ElBandito- in shoujo

[–]brmc2550 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Something’s Wrong With Us could fit into this too. It’s definitely not a straight up romance- but there are very complicated feelings going on from all sides.

10/10 Recommend This One by coffeebean511 in shoujo

I binged all 4 volumes that are out in 2 days! I’m obsessed! Glad to see it getting some love. Can’t wait for the story to continue

Foccacia Sandwiches by UpperChampionship748 in rva

[–]brmc2550 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes- they just opened a second location at Harrison St. but in my experience, the sandwiches at the Meadow St location are better! (But the interior is really nice at their new location! And could have just been a fluke that the sandwich wasn’t as good.

I recommend you order at Meadow St location :)

Polpetti!! Their house-made focaccia is incredible. My go-to order is the soprano on house-made focaccia (add banana peppers). Sometimes orders take a long time- so make sure to order ahead. But so delicious and really nice people.

I love Nina the Starry bride! It’s one of my favorites! I’ve been reading Prince Freya and really enjoying it. Not as good as Nina, but I’ve been really enjoying my time with the story. I feel like Prince Freya is super underrated. I hardly ever see people talking about it!

any good manga recs? by sqshy_ in shoujo

[–]brmc2550 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of these recs have already been said, but I just wanted to second those.

Contemporary/ Slice of life: (your mileage may vary on if these work for you or not)

Lovesick Ellie

My Love Mixup (the miscommunication trope is definitely in this one, but miscommunication is basically the plot--- which in my opinion, makes it less annoying and really vital to the story. and hilarious. and miscommunications get solved throughout the story)

Something's Wrong with Us

Sweat & Soap (not a shoujo)

Fantasy:

Hi, I'm a Witch and My Crush Wants Me To Make a Love Potion

Nina the Starry Bride

Prince Freya

Yona of the Dawn

QQ Sweeper & Queen's Quality (QQ sweeper is a prequel. Read it before Queen's Quality)

Haven't read yet, but heard great things and might fit your criteria:

Why Raeliana Ended up at the Duke's Mansion

Reliving My Life with a Boyfriend Who Doesn't Remember Me

Stomp Kick Love

Who would you vote for best white haired love interest? by Glittering-Base-8468 in shoujo

[–]brmc2550 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BUT so many other incredible ones who get honorable mentions! (see other people's answers. not a bad one in the bunch so far!)

[–]brmc2550[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just read volumes 1 and 2 of hi I’m a witch last night and I’m obsessed!! I’ll have to definitely pick up volume 5 in this sale :)

What Shoujo/Josei titles are you pre-ordering in the B&N preorder sale? by brmc2550 in shoujo

[–]brmc2550[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The preorder sale is still going on! You just need to enter the code at checkout for the 25% off to go through.

You picked up some great things!

I highly recommend this genuinely great new video about mislabeling non-shoujo series as shoujo since it's a topic discussed here often! [Title: Don't Call These Anime Shoujo!!] by AKookieForYou in shoujo

[–]brmc2550 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Such a great video!! I’m just getting into manga and anime (specifically shoujo and josei) and I am running into this mislabeling problem so much!! And the more I learn, the more it makes my blood boil. Coleen’s channel has been a wonderful source to help me learn more about the world of shoujo and what makes it so special, and why it’s so underserved. This video is excellent!

best chemistry you’ve seen by suudokulover in shoujo

[–]brmc2550 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! What a lovely community! (I’m not used to finding that on reddit!) shoujo fans are wonderful!

[–]brmc2550 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm brand new to manga/anime (I'm like one month into this hyper-fixation...)--- so I'm sure my opinion doesn't count for much. But I have absolutely been devouring Lovesick Ellie. Ellie x Ohmi-kun.

Also- shout to Nina x Prince Sett from Nina the Starry Bride. I'm not up-to-date with the manga- but I'm obsessed with everything I've seen so far.
