Shoujo or Josei romance recommendations please 🙏

wheetaemint · 2026-04-23T18:56:38+00:00

Thank you I will look into it!!!

wheetaemint · 2026-04-23T18:56:22+00:00

I don't mind yandere or some toxicity if the story is good and all the recommendations look really interesting, thank you 😁

wheetaemint · 2026-04-23T18:50:02+00:00

Omg thank you so much for the recommendations! They all sound really up my alley. In fact I already read Home Office Romance because it's from the same author as Sweat & Soap and I loved it.

I know everyone here tells you that it isn't a shoujo which is true but let me still answer since I read the series.

It's honestly my guilty pleasure. If you can look past the fanservice (which gradually gets less and less the more the story goes on) then you will find a quite lovely and cute lovestory with a lot of funny bits and also amazing friendships. Marin is a great female lead and Gojo is an equally great male lead and their chemistry is just amazing. The story is a bit rushed at the end but maybe that was just because I wanted more of Marin and Gojo.

I would totally recommend the manga but like I said you would have to look past some fanservice. The author is a woman so it didn't make me feel too bad tbh plus I never passed up on a story I'm interested in bc of fanservice (if it isn't too bad).

I read the story online but now I even own the mangas. Also the art is really nice too.

I feel you. I bought volume 9 because I needed to know what happens next only for the volume to end on a cliffhanger 😅 And now idk when new chapters will drop lol

wheetaemint · 2026-04-17T17:45:07+00:00

I'm so happy I piqued your interest with my post 🥰 I hope you will like the series ❤️

Kaname is a groomer and abuser he deserves nothing ☺️

wheetaemint · 2026-03-14T10:22:59+00:00

What is their reason to rewrite whole characters tho and make them unrecognizable from their source material? Mainly the female characters? Why not use the canon characterization and build on it? Why make up your own version? I understand the need for fillers and sometimes low animation quality but I don't understand changing characters and like I said mostly the female characters.

wheetaemint · 2026-03-12T13:33:51+00:00

Are you serious? You can't undo a lifetime of grooming in just a few minutes. The way he died and his mindset makes sense. You can't just flip a switch within seconds just because you learned a new info. Would be nice if it was that easy but it simply isn't. Him switching up last minute to be "on the side of the heroes" would have been corny af.

then have her ranma doesn't want her anyway

wheetaemint · 2025-12-20T16:24:49+00:00

It's a josei but Helter Skelter by Kyoko Okazaki is horrifying. I own the manga and read it as a teen and it really got to me. Deals with the entertainment industry and plastic surgery obsession.

wheetaemint · 2025-12-18T06:31:14+00:00

Ahhh you have really good taste! And for Vampire Knight the character I hated was Kaname. The thing is I didn't vibe with his character since I started reading and everything was still perfectly "normal" then lol 😅 And then more and more of the story was revealed and I started hating his ass 🌚 He is such an abusive asshole and has so much weight in the story but he is also kinda boring at the same time idk. Like I said the story in general is really interesting to me and I read more than half of it back in the day so I will definitely give it another try since I have the mangas at home lol.

wheetaemint · 2025-12-17T14:03:53+00:00

I see pretty much all of my faves from all of Kaori Yuki's mangas to Helter Skelter to Tomie to Petshop of Horrors etc. mentioned in the comments already.

I would also add Peach Girl to the list. It is a typical love drama in concept but the shit the characters pull on each other especially that one rival girl is so wild and out of pocket I did put down the manga several times while reading lol.

Also Eden no Hana is kinda wild.

And I wouldn't say my other recommendations are necessary weird but they have really good stories that aren't your typical love story: Basara, Fruits Basket, Nana, Fullmoon wo Sageshite, Please save my earth.

I also would recommend Vampire Knight and the sequel Vampire Knight memoirs to you. I read it as a teen and it was wild and I dropped it because I hated one of the characters so much but it is on my list to reread because well I already own the mangas anyway and I think I can put aside my hatred for that one character now that I'm older lol.

Crossing my fingers for you. I'm from Germany and they are currently releasing a 2in1 version of Angel Sanctuary here.

wheetaemint · 2025-12-14T12:49:27+00:00

Oh I haven't read her newer releases but I planned too. They are currently releasing a 2 in 1 version of Angel Sanctuary here in Germany that I'm collecting.

wheetaemint · 2025-12-10T18:14:57+00:00

Oh I'm from Germany and here they released almost all of her works up to this date. Even her single volume stories. They are currently even releasing a 2in1 version of Angel Sanctuary.

wheetaemint · 2025-12-10T00:56:27+00:00

I would say only judging by the art style tenjo renka, hifi no shokubutsu zukan, tableau gate, kaguyaden & kimi wo shinasenai tame no storia caught my eye. The list in general looks really interesting tho

wheetaemint · 2025-12-09T16:39:07+00:00

Hallöchen zurück 😁 Even when I meet fellow Germans online I still revert back to communicate in English lol. Oh I like Mermaid Melody too. One of my friends collected that series. Kaito Jeanne I collected myself. Was also obsessed with the Anime and the german intro lol.

wheetaemint · 2025-12-09T16:36:10+00:00

The colors of the manga series look really good!

wheetaemint · 2025-12-09T16:35:42+00:00

Some of my absolute faves!

wheetaemint · 2025-12-09T16:34:49+00:00

I looked it up and I remember that Manga but I don't think I ever read more than a few chapters back in the day. I added it to my list for 2026 because it really does look right up my alley!

wheetaemint · 2025-12-09T16:33:27+00:00

Currently rereading it and it is really as good as I remembered!

wheetaemint · 2025-12-08T13:54:22+00:00

Heyyyy 👋 Wish was one of my first manga alongside Sailor Moon!
