>>291735470that's for girls, anon
>>291735482I mean Im a trans guy,shoujo anime turned me from a girl to a guy so why not,im rather attached to some,they introduced me to anime and manga
berserk is the only shoujo i like
>>291735470I watch at least one shoujo anime every season.
>>291735629What was your favorite of the ones recently released,id say "in the clear moonlit dusk" but desu its cuz i already followed the manga and love androgynous protags
>>291735470I want full continuations of:>ouran hoost club>special a>kaichou wa maid samai want them to be extremely good as well you fucksi want to hug my boooooooyyyysssss
>>291735702Yessss i own the entire ouran box set,a personal favorite of mine,one of the things that helped me come to terms with my gender,haruhi did so much for my self esteem,but yeah by boiiis,I miss kyouya specifically. I want all 3 of those too get the fruits basket treatment but they never do...:(. Id also love a kodocha reboot not that there was anything wrong with the og anime,id say its a near perfect adaptation but id just love to see it with an updated animation style,glad to see kodocha getting more love in the current day. Not a shoujo but id also love a reboot of Stop! Hibari kun,its my go to story when Ive ran out of rumiko takahashi and want a similar vibe.
>>291735697Well I'm a sucker for villainess shows but Kaoru Hana wa Rin to Saku stood out with one of the best depictions of parents in romance anime. Plus, very cute girls.
I've been reading through Mizusawa Megumi's manga recently. Just recently finished Kira Kira 100%, which is probably my least favorite so far, and it's also one of her longer manga. I do want to reread Hime-chan no Ribbon at some point too.
I need to watch Nana i call myself a connoisseur of shoujo manga and anime and yet I for some reason avoided Nana like the plague...the musics peak tho. Ill check it out soon tho.
>>291735818watching the anime, the mom and dad were such a treat.that episode with the mom piercing her ears and dying her hair for him was making me ugly cry
>>291735470Hagio Moto is the greatest of all time. I re-read A Cruel God Reigns about once year, edging the whole way through.
>>291735497I know this is some flavor of bait, but it's good to know tranime lives up to its name for both amabs and afabs.
>>291735470I like women, don't watch much stuff intended for women I don't think, and women don't like me
>>291735497>shoujo turned me from a girl to a guyhow does that work? are you trolling? it would make a lot more sense if baki turned you into an ftm tranny
Some series you don't really expect to be shoujo.
>>291735470>>291712114
>>291735470no
>>291735470i am for some inexplicable reason attracted to girls that look like OP's picture (and this picture)
>>291735470No. Shoujo and josei shit is fucking awful with rare exceptions.
>>291735470some on /a/ claim to love shoujo but they're just watching male gaze saintess or witch or villainess crap and aren't embracing true girlslop
>>291736760Asa was so cute. I was a fan of Makio since the start but by the end I loved Asa.
>>291736906Any anime (You) watch is male gaze anime by default, because (You) (male) are watching it.
>>291735482there are girls on /a/
>>291736760Why are Asa's shoulders so wide in that shot?
>>291737737They're normal
>>291735470Most shoujo is full of grooming and incest, the aforementioned Ouran being one of the few exceptions to the genre, so it naturally repels off normalfags compared to something like battle shonen.
>>291735470Screaming lessons was a kind of fun goosebumps/are you afraid of the dark for little japanese girls before the pta neutered it
>>291739900Where is the rape in chibi maruko and chocomimi
Yumi Tamura is my favorite shoujo writer. Don't call it mystery is also super succesful in japan currently. But 7seeds is still my favorite work of hers. She is just so good at conveying emotional moments.
>>291735482We're all girls here
>Hiatus still not overNyo...
>>291736760But for real I love handsome women, androgynous protagonists are peak
>>291736071Not bait,just explanation, though yeah tranime does exsist for afab XD. Im not really the baiting type.
>>291736906Im not really big on most villainess anime its okay if others watch it imo. Im more of a romantic comedy person
>>291740066Feels like some shoujo artists spend 90% of their time drawing the face then kind of half-ass the rest.
>>291735470I love a woman that looks amazing with short hair
>>291736760SameI want to make them the mother of my kids
If you like foidslop as a man, you are a cuck.
>>291741882Hey fuck you Mechanical Marie was fun
>>291741954Marie is cute enough to be a heroine in a shounen manga. It's really a cut above other things for women where there is just nothing there for men to enjoy.
>>291735482Even girls get enjoyment looking at cute and sexy girls.
I'm not a big shoujofag but I feel like its completely fallen out of mainstream conversation and that's a shame
>>291741954LaLa comedies like Marie and Maid-sama are basically unisex, the shoujo equivalent of muh wholesome romances like Seihantai and Kaoru Hana
I always thought Maison Ikkoku was a shoujo but turns out it was Seinen. One of my favourite couple evolutions
>>291742084Hot damn
>>291739900>Ouran being one of the few exceptions to the genre>literal incest twins>shotabait cousins
>>291735470yea but a lot of popular modern shoujo is garbage. the ones from the 2000s are a hit or miss for me, i try to read staple shoujo works but sometimes a manga is meant to be read when youre 13 lol. ive tried red river and gakuen alice and i dropped them both. theres a bunch of old shoujo i want to read but there are no translations. pic-related is a recent one i enjoy
>>291743197Gakuen Alice is funny because it turns into like secret agent super power espionage bullshit after a certain point. I liked it a lot.
>>291743737yeah everyone says its really good and that you gotta power through the first couple of chapters so i might give it another go.
How do you read foidslop where every man looks like this? You don't feel jealous at all?
>>291744295I used to but not anymore
>>291744295>where every man looks like thisshoujo guys are girly/pretty with little to no muscle
>>291744378he said foidslop in general not specifically shoujo. look at josei smut and teens love and you'll find guys like that
>>291744378SUUUUUURE, bro, and 2+4 = 5
>>291744447oh yeah true, i just assumed shoujo cause of the thread but even when it comes to josei, i dont really see super buff male leads? maybe im not reading enough modern josei though>>291744520idk nip foidslop loves pretty guys more than manly rough guys. the most you'll get are piercings/tattoos with a bit of muscle but foidslop mls dont have facial hair or scars or high t builds
>>291744295I look like this so it's not a problem.
>>291744858It's so fucking ridiculous how there's a whole separate industry about worshipping white men in Japan. Look at the guy in this manga, he looks nothing like any Asian ever. Why are Asian men not rioting over this?
>>291744295what are you getting out of watching real shoujo if you aren't into the boys just as much?
>>291744224Be aware that quite a lot of the fan translation is Japanese -> Chinese -> English with even completely made up dialogue at points. I think there's a Tokyopop translation but I wasn't able to find it. So reading it in English isn't the best idea.
>>291744295I've never felt jealous of a fictional character.
>>291745085i really should learn nip at this point>>291745036the last one looks like a white guy lol but the other two dont, they look like kpop variants to me
>291745036Ethnonarcissm is a hell of a drug. Why don't you go back to /pol/twitter
>>291745127>they look like kpop variants to meReally, bro. THIS looks like a kpop guy? Are you serious? Have you seen any gay pop "idols"?
>>291745158i went to some random ai site and generated this character. im assuming this is what nips imagine
>>291743197I thought Kimi no Yokogao o Miteita had a very strong beggining, but it went on hiatus for a year and then ended with just 2 chapters after the hiatus.And the ending itself was also kinda meh. This needed definitely more chapters.
Watching shoujo is manly if you watch it for the beautiful girls and you self-insert into their crushes
>>291743197Kimi no yokogao is garbage though. Pretty to look at, but basically no substance.Here's my recent selection of such crap.
>>291745421i tried reading other two in the bottom row. ill finish the first for the art alone but im not gonna bother with the second unless the side couple i like becomes a thing. i dont care to read anything from the top row despite each series being popular on shoujotwt
>>291744295no, it just motivates me to improve myself
>>291745518How are you planning on improving yourself? Getting on steroids + surgery + leg lenghtening?
>>291745158It doesn't look like a white guy either dumbass nkgger
>>291745531working out, obviously. why would i take steroids? i've already had girls crush on me, although i was too autistic to realize it at the timeit kinda sounds like you have some problems to work through, judging from all your posts. don't take /r9k/ too seriously, it's not good for you
>>291745613Sure bro, keep coping
>>291744295>>291745036>>291745678
>>291735470shoujo? that for female, anon>>291735482fpbp
>>291744295Honestly some of the dudes in shoujo would make for good bros
>>291735470Yes, Kimi ni Todoke is the greatest love story of all time
>>291742884>literal incest twinsNo longer counts as incest if it’s gay
>>291747159I have this in my backlog
>>291747159One of the rare wholesome shoujos out there.
>>291739900>>291749208I don't get this meme. The vast majority of shoujo manga are about as tame and wholesome as it gets. What do tertiaries get the idea that they aren't from? CLAMP?
>>291741295
>>291748446So what you're saying is that brotherly love is the purest form of love there is?
>>291750851Sisterly love is more pure.
>>291751117no way, those red rose sisters are totally munching each other's carpet on the dl
>>291742084tamaki is so lucky, especially for a frog with a nip dad and frenchie mother
>>291749412People tend to divide things for women into categories. If it isn't drama of hallmark tier fluff then it's literal bodice rippers with terrible boyfriends, or so these kind of people believe
>>291735482
What the fuck i leave for classes for a couple hours and I come back to see this. God the duality of man.
>>291749412>The vast majority of shoujo manga are about as tame and wholesome as it gets.Don’t most shoujo manga feature grooming and incest? And if not that then the more “normal” ones still feature rape.
>>291749208>>291749412I think shoujo is split about 50-50 between wholesome and melodrama or fucked up shit. But even in wholesome shoujo, the love interest usually has shades of being a dominant guy who's aggressive towards the heroine and loves teasing her. Kazehaya is relatively less common in that regard.
We are back, shoujobros.
>>291758466>shoujo>brosWe’re all women here.
some foidslop is alright
