Stop reading shoujo that focuses primarily on teen romance and you will be a lot happier with the results.
>>134836260
This is good too.
Read shoujo that doesn't focus on romance. Someone should make a shoujo essentials list with stuff like Basara or Glass Mask.

>stop reading romance manga it reminds me that I haven't spoken to a girl in 3469 days
romance manga is the only good manga
>>134839220
That's why I say "focus". Romance can still play a large role, but if the manga is only about a relationship and nothing else you will tend to get the same recycled teen drama over and over again. Try to aim for something that separates the premise from the romance, the characters can still be romantically involved.
>>134839319
Romance can be good but most modern shoujo romance is generally soap opera drama, there are exceptions of course but they're not very common.
>>134839802
Agree, after reading hundreds of shoujo, it's all the same drama. I really like the one's I suggest because there's either different "drama" or conflict between the 2 love interests.

Landwhales rarely recognize their husbando is a rapist though. They always find excuses to proof it wasn't rape.
>>134836056
Why don't you read Skip Beat? It is probably the only shoujo I like, and the main girl isn't a complete idiot but actually tries to make a life for herself instead of being boy crazy.
Best shoujos aren't even romance though.
>>134841150
That was like 25 years ago
>>134841098
I haven't read Skip Beat but it's painful when the female lead start as a spunky girl with aptitude and the male lead break her down into a waifu. It happens a lot on shoujo
>>134841186
Yes, and?
>>134841150
You can't be the best anything if your authors get tired and quit partway through.
>>134841186
So? Good old manga or anime can still be popular and talked about.
Evangelion is 20 years old and even without the Rebuilds, there would still be many big threads about it on /a/
>>134841098
I started reading Skip Beat and I got really far into it before I realized this was never going to end any time soon. Also, I did like that aspect of her personality but it got dumbed down hard over time like pretty much every shojo with an independent main FeMC
>>134841292
>>134841369
Shoujo not exclusively about romance are relics. Even magical girls die under the tsunami of HYD's rip-offs

let's not get ahead of ourselves now senpai
>>134841414
>>134841224
I don't want to sound like a sjw or nothing but, why shoujo mangakas hate female emancipation so much? Aren't they emancipated women? They work on a male-dominated environment and they have a career on a nation that denigrate working women but their mangas tend to be extremely conservative
>>134841498
Hana Yori Dango ruined everything
>>134841474
Oh, I forgot. The dead brother got together with MC despite knowing his twin had a lifelong crush on her. He actively made sure to keep the two of them apart despite them all being childhood friends. For years he let his girlfriend think his twin hated her.
>>134841416
Natsume Yuujincho, Akatsuki no Yona, Shugo Chara and Shirayukihime are all post 2005 shoujo.
>>134841621
What the fuck man.
Sauce? I'm a dirty peasant and I'm using a phone, can't do a reverse search.
>>134841474
This is literally one of the shittiest things I've ever read
>>134841498
As >>134841551 said
So there this manga called Hana Yori Dango/Boys Over Flowers and it was like to shojo what Dragon Ball was to shounen. Basically every cookie-cutter shojo copies some aspect of it because its such an ur-example of popular girls shit.
If you're read BOF, you've basically read like 70% of all modern shojo out there
>>134842213
Is this by the same author of Vampire Knight? The art looks similar.
>>134841498
Shoujo has been stagnating for a while and a lot of women left for other demographics that cater more to their interests. Most of the ones that stuck around are the kind that eat up stories about unhealthy relationships like that, and because it rarely experiments outside of that narrow frame, it hasn't built back much of an audience outside of those types, which makes it even more difficult to try new things, it's a self-fulfilling cycle.
>>134836056
Kare Kano
There are tons of good shoujo.
>>134842366
Anime is godtier
Manga is shit
>>134842359
Ao Haru Ride is selling like hotcakes and it follows the cookie cutter formula. Maybe it's a generational thing, there's space only for one unhealthy relationship manga by generation
>>134841498
Another issue that's a result of shoujo being so focused on romance stories now is that most authors aren't creative enough to think of how to keep things interesting when writing an ongoing series about relationships, so they just throw in whatever cheap drama will keep the audience hooked.
>>134842630
Isn't Ookami Shoujo selling pretty well, too?
>>134842639
It's always the same shit
>MISUNDERSTANDINGS
>rich mean girl vs female lead
>reconciliation
>MISUNDERSTANDINGS
>nice guy vs douchebag boyfriend
>reconciliation
repeat for 10 years...
>>134842686
Yeah but not at the shounen-tier levels of Ao Haru Ride. There are like 3 or 4 female-aimed titles on the top 50 of sales
>>134842359
More than women getting sick of shoujo stories, I think it's more that Rumiko shook things up. She's basically just under Tezuka, Nagai, Ishinomori and Yokoyama in terms of density of manga that became hit franchises
>>134842639
I wonder if the fact that female mangaka had huge success in shounen magazines encouraged others to go there if they wanted to write something more adventure-related.
>>134842799
- See >>134842630
- Rumiko only writes shounen. Her works tend to be really popular among females but they're technically shounen
>>134842730
>It's a female lead's friend falls in love with her boyfriend chapter
>It's a boyfriend's older brother wants to steal girl away chapter
>It's a mean girl causes MISUNDERSTANDINGS chapter
>It's a boyfriend wants to have sex but "I'm not ready" (This isn't necessarily bad as much as it's sooooooo fucking overused and it's just a case for padding)
>>134842639
Sounds like most soap operas.

>>134842849
I don't understand why you're linking me to that post. What you said is the point that I was suggesting, that women are branching out into other demos because that's what Rumiko did and became a star, rather than any inherent dislike of the shoujo demo's restrictions.
I've never read shoujo because I like battles and guys better.
I love yaoi because it's got all the sex and loving ravishment I want and no useless vaginas involved in sight.
>>134843043
Yeah but thats gay dude.
>>134842630
I haven't read Ao Haru Ride so I don't know what its like, but I meant creative stagnation specifically. There will always be a few gems in every era but it feels like most of the modern "good" shoujos are still about high school romance.
>>134842799
Did she write much shoujo? I think of her as a shounen author, although she did put more emphasis on romance.
>>134842495
Manga is godtier too until where the anime ended.

>>134843029
Only men have problems with modern shoujo. In any case, it's more a sympton of the modern tendency of focusing on an obsessive fan-market by pandering rather than trusting on the writing.
>>134843132
That's even worse then.
And it's still fucking gay.
>>134843132
>I'm a landwhale
Fixed
>>134843162
Gay for me would be useless tits and vaginas which do nothing for me. I already have my own and I'm not attracted to other womens', I don't need any in my romantic smut.
>>134843217
No, not really. Normal shoujo that has dicks on men and tits on women who get in to a relationship isn't gay at all.
Men on men is fucking homo. I don't give a fuck if you don't have a dick you dumb cunt. It's still gay as fuck.
And yaoi is also shit. It has literally the worst art out of any genre or demographic.
>>134843043
I know this is bait but there's plenty of shoujo and josei that focuses on guys and homoerotic relationships. Heart of Thomas comes to mind, Banana Fish, Kaze to Ki no Uta, etc.
>>134843292
Nobody cares for your retarded opinions, retard.
>>134843317
>Kaze to Ki no Uta
That was the title that started yaoi and Takemiya had to fight her editor to allow her to publish it.
>>134843342
OP here, he's right.
At least on the yaoi part. Yaoi manga is pretty much always shit
>>134843317
Those are boring and lack arousing sex. I don't care for them, I want this instead. Plot AND sex.
>>134843342
Nobody cares about worthless fujoshits either. Yaoi is shit not because it's homo smut, but because it's poorly written and drawn.
There are like 3 good yaoi series.
Shounen Ai has some more stuff thats alright though. Prunus Girl technically is Shounen Ai.
>>134843427
That's nice OP, but I still stand by my idea that what I like is good and what you like is shit, since I don't like it.
>>134843463
What's the difference between yaoi and BL? Is it just one has sex and they other doesn't?
>>134843317
This reminds me that I recently read a bit of Patalliro to see what it was about (as it's like the longest on-going shoujo) and I was pretty weirded out by the english inspector with the power to make any pretty boy falls for him with a look.
>>134843463
Prunus Girl is boring tranny shit and I don't even like the art. Shonen Ai doesn't interest me either.
I like the art in this: >>134843432 and some other yaoi manga.
>>134843432
Is he fucking a 10 year old?
>>134843432
Kaze to Ki no Uta has a shitload of sex, so does Zankoku na Kami ga Shihai Suru, although the latter doesn't have much romance. Also you're really obvious.
>>134843555
Yaoi is basically the butthole plunging part of the gay.
Shounen Ai focuses on the romance portion.
>>134843573
So basically you actually LIKE shitty art.
>>134843584
No. The seme is just a really tall and big guy, just like I like'em.
>tfw surrounded by manlets irl

>>134843601
I don't like sex alone, it must be mixed in with the right romance. No to both of your titles, neither of your suggestions satisfy me.
>>134843635
Shonen Ai focuses on the boredom portion. Why bother having a romance at all if you aren't going to have sex? I don't want sex without love but I don't want love without sex either.
>>134843739

>>134844380

what is this broad saying and what does it have to do with my points.
what does men like me having problems with post-HYD shoujo have to do with women branching out in demographics because of Rumiko's success
Does 7seeds count? I think it's been both josei and shoujo at different points of it's run. I don't typically follow either demographic but it's pretty much my favourite manga.
>>134841150

Hard to say. It shifted early on to the josei magazine Flowers but still won a Kodansha shoujo award after that.
(I'd say it counts but that's probably just because it's my favourite too and I like to find occasions to mention it)
Glass Mask is a masterpiece even if it should have ended ages ago.
>>134845591

Because women want to be treated like shit and fucked without you giving a flying fuck about their needs or feelings.
Stop getting mad about it, women want a strong man and displaying emotion or caring about their feelings/opinions makes you a beta loser in their eyes and therefore unattractive.
It's simply women's nature and you should learn how to use it to your own advantage.
>>134845879
Despite anons's vast knowledge about the female mind, they'll never be able to use it for their autism and being ugly as sin

I feel it's more josei.
It's fun in that it doesn't feel like the typical shoujoshit stuff you see a lot.

Exactly.
Beta bucks.

>>134845872
why?Seemed like a pretty natural response to learning of the attempted rape and murder of your girlfriend who is practically the only reason you have the will to keep on living in the dead world..
Personally I'm more afraid Ango will be the hero of this arc and everyone will suddenly forgive him (not because I don't want him to earn forgiveness but because if he does it that way it will be totally unsatisfying and also remove too much of the tension (which I love) from the group.
Does seem like it might be wrapping up soon though so that might be the route she takes.
>>134846896
Caught me. I fuck all the anons here on a daily bases.
All but you.
>>134847044
Arashi knows about the blender manHe should be mad, especially since he was possessive and protective of Hana before the disaster, but he should know Ango's damaged
I don't think it's wrapping up, why do you say that? It's not the same kind of story as Basara where the how the world got to be so fucked up is unimportant, there's still a bit of mystery left to squeeze out from 7Seeds.
I've read a few shoujo, I hate female love stories, They almost all have some kind of love triangle.
>>134847553
So you like haremshit love octagons? Because shounen love stories often have love triangles too. They're practically unavoidable in any genre.
>>134847553
So do most romance series for any demographic. Or they're already in a relationship really early on, which is fine, but isn't really a love story.
>>134836056

>>134847776
Okay, except that doesn't really mean anything nor relate to love triangles because most of them don't involve actual sex anyways. Especially the harem series.

Femanons truly are dumb and unable to follow a simple conversation.
>>134847850
>I don't like love triangles
>So you like harem octagons?
>Proceed to post something completely unrelated
What?
In harem octagons the MC doesn't get a lot of pussy. In fact he gets pretty much none till the very end, and even then they probably wont fuck for another decade.
In the love triangles generally the girl picks one and they fuck. You're really not making any sense here.
>>134847446
I think the other anon says it's wrapping up because all the characters are getting closer and closer to a meeting together and there's been talk about them finding a good place to live in. Which would serve as a way to end the series with the remaining characters finding closure and moving towards the future.
But it's true there's still mysteries left about Sado and other plot points and conflicts to resolve so there's still much to see before it ends.
>>134848034

>>134847908
Harem mc gets all the bitches and they are all pure. He also loves all his girls very dearly and protects them all from harm.
Reverse harem is full of ntr and rape fantasies and are filled with impure sluts who fuck random men even when they know it's wrong and they will get treated like shit by the guy.
>>134848133
Says the anon while she shitposts.
>>134848130
Supposed to be demographics, but to an extent they can qualify as a genre because everything under usually follows a common theme and has the feel of it being shounen or shoujo.
I can read something without knowing what demographic it is and usually tell if it's shoujo/shounen/seinen/josie. There are a few that break the mold though and are hard to tell.
What it truly comes down to is where it's published anyways.
>>134848197
>Reverse harem is full of ntr and rape fantasies and are filled with impure sluts who fuck random men
Love triangle isn't reverse harem, for one. Two that's a huge generalization, because tons of ''reverse harems'' or love triangles, the MC is a pure maiden virgin and often remains that way even after the series ends and they're in a relationship.
More often than not the MC picks one guy and it's the only guy they fuck/lose their virginity to.
Josie is what you're thinking of. Truly filled with NTR shit. Shoujo has some but not nearly as much.

>>134848302
Catboy won?
>>134848687
Indeed.
>>134847446
Regardless of Ango's brain problems Arashi's past has shown that he's fairly possessive/protective of his gf to the point of stabbing other people if he sees her being harassed. Maybe he'll change but it's a good thing he doesn't seem interested in guns.
>>134849781
Personally I like that we have conflicts like these in 7seeds that fit so well with the characters. I like that the characters have flaws that lead to their problems and that it doesn't feel like the conflict was written just for the sake of drama.
What I like most about 7 seeds is that for the most part the entire cast feels like they have agency.
>>134844445
Mayu Shinjo only make comedies
Figure I might as well ask since I've been kinda curious for a while now and since shoujo was the topic of the OP: how do you guys feel about Clamp?
Natsu no Zenjitsu is good besides MC being relatively immature, it's not shoujo, but it's an interesting romance story.

They're nice. Tokyo Babylon's one of my favorite manga.
Currently reading X and that's pretty good too.

I like their weirdness. Just sitting down and reading a single chapter will sometimes put me in a very foreign sort of headspace. I often feel permeated by a sense of ambiguity and mystery, but it's of the sort that I will want to pursue it. It feels a little like chasing the rabbit down the hole and then jumping in yourself for the sense that Wonderland is to be found at the bottom.
Any manga with male yanderes?
Any in which heroine gets her be stolen by another girl?
I'm not against shoujo specifically but the genre as a whole tends to be harem husbando trash.
Ango will die, he is the only character without a single ship. Ryo has the cute brown girl even if he is the actual murderous asshole of the group.

>I've never read shoujo because I like battles and guys better.
You was doing right anon.

But wait. What shonen don't have a MC waifu interest. Except DB and DB is shit.
>>134855721
haven't thought of it that way before. I think I'd be slightly disappointed with that result as well if it was for that reason anyways.

Rabbit, what happened to rabbit?
Tell me he fucked like one.

7seeds is quality. Thanks for posting it, anon.
I wonder of women are as horrified and disgusted by our romantic fantasies as we are of theirs

Great manga and a pretty good anime adaptation (the 80s one)
>>134857658
Look there, found another shit.
>>134836056
OP, that's a typical shojo plot. It shouldn't piss you off so easily.
I guess you still haven't tried Harlequin.
>>134857776
it always makes me happy when someone picks up 7 seeds
>>134857937
Is the 80s anime better than the 2005 one?
Manga is great but I'm worried the author will die before it's done.
>>134857855
I too would like to know the answer to this.

I have a lot of nostalgia for them, but looking back on it they were a pretty mixed bag. Magic Knight Rayearth was my very first manga,I actually looked up to lady Aska as a role model somehow, I read it in 4th grade and I still think it's excellent. Cardcaptor Sakura manga was not as good but its anime is god-tier. Miyuki-chan in Wonderland freaked me out as a kid but I kind of like it now. Those are the only ones I've re-read recently, all the others I only read once around 10 or 15 years ago or something, but I remember not liking Chobits or Angelic Layer. Tokyo Babylon felt like a chore to read but maybe I'd appreciate it now. RG Veda and xxxHolic were just okay. Tsubasa was a train wreck but sometimes entertaining. And I've been holding off on reading X all these years because of the hiatus but maybe it's time to give up.

Femanon here. I love romantic rape fantasies. Men's fantasies are uninteresting whether he's into boring shit like real rape or he's into boring crap like sol with muh waifu and the like.
>>134858468
>boring crap like sol
How can you say slice of life is boring? You know most of the cast on those shows are girls, right? As a female you could relate to them, right?

I like Arashi/Hana too but Aramaki/Hana is far superior.
>>134858916
Nah they have nothing in common with me. They're just some guy's wish-fulfillment.
>>134836056
are you describing the first 2 seasons of gilmore girls?
>>134836056
forget about shojo manga and reand some senien romance
>>134858220
>Angelic Layer
Another example of an improved anime adaptation. I enjoyed it far more than the manga.
>>134841224
Skip Beat's premise is when the opposite happens, too bad the pacing went to complete shit after a while and the new love interest isn't that good either.
>>134841495
It's never going to fucking update is it ;_;
>>134859217
Really? Maybe I'll check it out then. I don't even remember why exactly I didn't like the manga, I think the battle system wasn't engaging maybe and it felt kind of repetitive like pokemon. I'll still watch it though, you never know how differently you'll perceive things as an adult.

I'm thinking of a manwha where a girl gets convinced by her sister to go buy a pregnancy test for her. on the way back the landlord's son sees her and blackmails her into an abusive relationship. Anyone else remember what this was called?
Speaking of Shoujo, are there any good ones like Love So Life?
>>134852849
>it's not shoujo
Then why mention it?
