real men watch shojo
This is common knowledge
Little boys watch shounen.
>>142107450
Correct
>>142107450
No because then you start self inserting as the girl. Just goes downhill from there.

Correction.
Older male teenagers and men read seinen and only old school shounen.
Modern shounen, Shoujo are for little boys and teenage girls.
This thread is for real men only. Only the manliest of men enjoy watching REAL relationships being developed, the REAL struggles you must face, overcoming faces over obstacles and many more. Boys can just leave already. Lets get to it men
>>142107450
Of course.
Women and boys enjoy shounen (see HxH).
Men and girls enjoy shoujo.
Seinen is for teenagers and manchildren.
Also marmalade boy probably has one of the best OPs ever made:

Fixed for further accuracy.
>>142107766
Yes. Marmalade Boy is the eva of shojo. If you own the dvds like me then you would also know it has the best commentaries in the extras of all anime
>>142107563
Happened when I watched bubblesparkles incidentally, sometime around fourth episode.
>>142107450

Is the manga any good?
>>142107974
Anime when?
>>142107841
Too bad 2002 was the last time we actually had a proper one.
>>142107450
I thought I was the only one who watched Marmalade Boy, good on you anon. It is truely an unappreciated anime.
>>142108037
Eventually, I hope.
>>142108206
It is but I mean its not underappreciated its a very well known and respected series my anon and for its time it was groundbreaking
>>142107450
Satoshi best boy
Anju best girl

>>142108368
You're right about Satoshi but Anju is what I have with soju and beer.
>Shoujo
>Girl get's treated like garbage
>Still likes the guy
Yeah no
>>142107450
I remember reading Ultra Maniac and Mint Na Bokura in middle school and those were pretty sweet.
I'm not sure if I read Marmalade Boy though, is it her best work?
>>142108456
Yes.
>>142108036
YES!!!!!
The manga is good too
>>142108360
it is at least on /a/ idk how many times I've tried to start a conversation on it only to have it fall to last page. It sucks because it really is my favorite shojo romance.
>>142107521
Season 5 when?
>>142108437
What too realistic for you? I guess you only like it when all girls get wet for the bland boring guy because he is nice.
>>142108036
I really liked it. "No budget" Gainax fucked the anime adaptation ending up, and burned the mangaka from ever adapting again. I really liked the Anime, especially the experimentation and the music, but the Manga is pretty much a standard Shojo story. REad it if you have a bad taste in your mouth from the Anime, it picks up around Volume 10.

You see a lot of the same thing happening in the world. Shocking I know, but that's how it is.
>>142108498
Lets continue talking about your favorite shojo romance then
>>142108498
It's relatively popular in Europe.
>>142108432
Everyone else is shit
Miki is a needy worrywort who has a constant inferiority complex
Meiko is always "muh Kaachan" and instantly turns into a child whenever something happens that has anything to do with him
Arimi is a cold stone bitch up until she gets some dick, then she's cool
Suzu is Arimi 2.0
Jinny is Suzu 2.0
who is better than Anju?
>>142108437
you are reading the wrong ones, anon
>>142107450
Damn right.
The bulk of shoujo is even worse than the bulk of shonen though.
>>142108621
ANON, YOU JUST MADE MY YEAR
>>142108701
No, she's not. Did you even watch the first 20 or so episodes of the show? She is worse than Miki up until Ginta pays attention to her.
>>142108728
You bitch. I love cold stone.
>>142108556
>>142108640
>It's good because it's realistic

>>142108489
>>142108596
>>142108629
I have a hard time believing that considering that the manga has didn't have Anno's input.
I'm not man enough to watch shoujo. All the terrible abuse and drama the characters have to go through is too much for me.

are there any good traps in this season's releases?

>>142108130
That's some bullshit right there.
>>142109097
Get out of this thread faggot.
>>142108036
It's good until the "Arima Arc" where shit backflips into typical shoujo melodrama and never fucking returns.
Seriously. It goes from a genre-defying romantic comedy, to typical melodramatic codswallop over the course of a single volume.
What a waste.
I used to read bunch of shoujo since my big sis subscribed Nakayoshi back in the day
>Peach Pit
>Ema Touyama
>Natsuna Kawase
are some of my favorite shoujo authors
I haven't read or watch any shoujo in like 8 years though
>>142109119

pity there is so little of it
>>142108910
Try reading a bit at a time in between reading new updates or something.
>>142109028
Anno also quit 3/4 of the way through the series. They had 3 different directors after than, and like $7 per episode, so they had to start getting creative cause the producer fucked away all the money. Its a valiant effort, but there is so much bullshit recap 2 frame, no movement stuff in the final 3 or 4 episodes its laughable. At least the Manga kept going, and gave me some fucking closure.

Has a way been found?
>>142109180
this man has taste
With Sailor Moon, DBZ, and Card Captor getting new series lately, do you think there will ever be hope for a new non fucked adaptation or continuation of the literal 15 Volumes of Manga this has still yet to cover?
>>142108910
>I'm not man enough to watch shoujo
How about you try reading some, then.
>>142109139
It sounds like Kimi ni Todoke
After Kazehaya and Sawako get together everything gets so fucking boring and repetitive, the romance between Yano and the blondie is just so boring it ruins everything else.
>>142109274
I forgot about her, I admit
Probably due to s2
Low quality stories for bad tastes.
>>142109181
this manga is shit tho
>>142109205
Yes, but even before he quit he wasn't changing much at all.
Shoujo manga tend to get shitty if they don't end soon enough
>>142109421
If the mangaka hated the first anime, I kinda doubt she'll want another adaptation.
Sailor Moon and CCS are also on a different level of popularity with most of the shoujo that got unfinished adaptations, unfortunately.
>>142109139
>>142109462
it's pretty much the description of most good shoujo comedies
good comedy with likable characters until the mangaka decides to make it a soap opera for no reason in the third act
>>142108834
Dude I have all the dvds and even the ultimate scrapbooks everyone has their own taste but anju is too bland for me.
>>142109640
why did you post that pic senpai
I actually watched/read a lot of that shit when I was younger and more innocent. These days I simply can't manage to enjoy it anymore. Like I have fond memories of stuff like Escaflowne, but when I tried to rewatch it recently I was just like "I actually enjoyed this?"
>>142109674
You're supposed to take the bait anon :P. Maybe I am tainted from general threads.
Yeah, everyone has their own taste. I will say that after Anju Arimi with Ginta is the second best.
>>142109734
Felt related to the subject of unfinished adaptations.
That and I'm currently rereading it. Sarasa a cute.
>>142109860
It's painful that it's not complete. Basara should have gotten a full anime back then
Yumi Tamura is legitimately in the top ten of mangaka, all time
>>142109652
Do you know if Akagami goes that route too?
I've heard Zen barely appears after the end of the anime, is it true? Is it worth reading?
Is cardcaptor actually good?
Not technically a shoujo, but a shoujo nonetheless

>>142110047
I really like this manga 'cause their relationship develops very fast. Almost 70 fucking chapters and they alreadystarted to date, had sex and now they are going to marry

This thread is a godsend. Thank you anons, lots of beautiful shojo and josei to read/watch

Watch the Anime ONLY if you plan on reading the Manga too. If you dont, plan on some major butthurt and loose ends, as the ending gets...Bad.
who is best nijiiro? and why is it mattsun
I love keiichi's VA though
>>142111676
nahh... I'll pass it then.
I have limited time, and wanted to spend watching something worth of it.
any suggestions for a fellow newfag?
>>142111427
so what you're saying is this is the only shoujo you have read
What do you think of Shinohara Chie's body of work?
>>142111741
Oh, dont get me wrong, the anime is amazing (Again, minus the last 3 episodes). It is the first thing Hideaki Anno with Gainax did post eva, and it has a lot of the experimental techniques in it. Some very nice character development, and trope ignoring, too. Its just a nice thing that once you finish the show, you'll be aching for more, and there is a TON (The anime covers less than a third of the manga)
If that still isnt your thing though, Pick up literally anything else in this thread.
>>142111674
Do not forget Skip Beat!
>>142111750

>>142111674
Or Taichifuru!
>>142111884
I've only read some of her shorter works and the beginning of Red River. While I find her art really beautiful, the stories usually don't work for me.
>>142111965
What kind are you looking for?
If I could base only on Say I Love You, I'd recommend Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun.
Both with essencially the same premise over the MC (and in both the main couple kiss in the first episode) and yet in Tonari you actually starts to like the cast and in Say I Love You you just want to puch everyone for being so stupid and just not talking.
Tonari deals with the same themes but with a much more convincing and engaging way (it also has a really good character design versus the soulless clichés of Say I Love You), if you're going anime the music and and direction is also better.

>>142112353

What? Have you even read the manga? Pretty much every issue is solved within like a chapter or two by characters actually talking.
Tonari was the most cliche thing ever, it just sort of fell in with that maid one and wolf guy with the cool aloof guy and the slightly oddball neurotic girl.
>>142112594
Seinen.
But i wouldnt stereotype genre with that. Even NNB is a seinen.

>Last Game
You mean ''Oh, I like her! But I wont admiti it/say just because!''
and

>>142112929
Lets hear your opinion on the best of shoujo. I enjoy those 2 series out of other shoujo the most.
>>142112711
>Seinen
>Genre
What do you think about Apollon? As in, what did you think before the last chapters when it went full retard? I'm unknown to josei works, but I really liked the relations between characters, the manga in general had a really nice, feel good vibe to it.
Also the soundtrack from the anime really brought it all together, definitely an improvement over the manga
Fushigi yuugi anyone?
>>142113236
Its not really shoujo but its well made.
>>142113252
>Watase Yuu
>good
>>142113358
Whats wrong with her? She's a beautiful woman
>>142113035
Just because you enjoy those 2 the most it doesn't mean they are the only one worth reading, anon.
I wont be stupid and say ''x'' and ''y'' are the absolute best of the genre because I don't have complete knowledge of it and taste is something personal but I will recommend you Orange and Akatsuki no Yona.
From this thread I also highly recommend Natsume Yuujinchou and Lovely Complex. (though everything is at least worth cheking out).
>>142107450
Kare Kano for the win.
>>142113252
I've seen a lot of references to it but when I actually tried it out it wasn't as great as people hyped me up.
I find that it's average at it's best.
>>142113428
Fair enough.
Oh i didnt realize Natsume Yuujincho is a shoujo. Ok, stcratch that, Natsume is my favorite.
Season 5 soon, cant wait to watch it with /a/.
>>142108130
Come on man, Pretty Rhythm was epic magical idol singer.
>>142109139
This.
I know there is good shoujo, but take the randomly chosen series and it has worse and more repetitive cliches than your average harem manchild series. I used to watch a lot of shoujo but at some point I became physically ill when thinking about how shit the next series would be, so I kind of want to forget shoujo ever existing.
>>142107450
Real men watch josei though.
>>142114022
>watch
Implying there is more like 2 worthy josei in anime
I would say read
>>142114060
But how do you read if you don't physically watch the paper? Do you use josei audiobooks or something?
>>142112696
Nope, I didn't touch the manga.
And I don't plan to, the 12 episodes of the anime where enought of a torture.
I'm not talking about the resoluction of these problems, but they mere existence.
It's the same miscommunication problem over and over again with it being ''resolved'' just to another one to appear in the corner.
In Tonari they do have the miscommunication problem but it's only one, and it's a whole arc for it (and after it's done, it's done).
I just can't get into my head how you find Tonari cliché but not Say I Love You.
>>142113918
NOPE.
NOT SHOUJO.
YOU WON'T BLAME THAT ON US.
>>142114060
There are plenty of them:
>Chihayafuru
>Hachimitsu to Clover
>Nana
>Nodame Cantabile
>Paradise Kiss
>Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu
and hundreds others that I just forgot about.
>>142114279
>Otona Joshi no Anime Time

>Natsuyuki Rendezvous
>Karneval
where the last ones I remember being adapted
>>142114275
Josei
>>142114275
It's a love story.
>>142114217
Because the problems faced in Say I Love You are grounded. They have to do with the characters short comings which are fairly realistic and those are never dragged out for too long, leading to actual progress. In Tonari the 'problems' were the cliche shojo problems and were solved in the same old manner they're solved in pretty much every other one.
Maybe the problem is that you watched the anime, I haven't, I've only read the manga and when comparing the two Say I Love You is miles and miles ahead. In the manga it's not just miscommunication, hell it's never actualy miscommunication but an inability to express themselves due to social anxiety and questions of self worth. Miscommunication is more like Kimi ni Todoke the whole confession shit. The characterizations actually make sense and the motivations of each character never seem particularly outlandish.
>>142114275
The first half of the series is unironically great though.

Pleaides says hi.
Gainax was the only studio left that was alpha enough to make a hetero magical girl show in the modern day.
And they died for it.
>>142115056
Pleiades was amazing.
>>142114789
there is no crime here
>>142115056
Pleaides died because it was pretty bad anime actually. There's the definite circlejerk fanbase, but it's pretty much an anime without anything else than "fun" factor, which in most cases isn't really a compliment.
Real men watch jojo
>>142115056
It's not shoujo.
>>142115278
>"fun" factor
>implying there was anything fun about Minato's Ikuhara-tier suffering.
Nice memes.
>>142115434
But that's the only argument I've ever seen anyone try to back up something as forgettable as Pleaides with. I agree it's a meme, but it's not mine.
>>142115278
I thought it was very safe, but definitely not 'bad'. Just overall normal.
But in today's world, where 90% of anime are adaptations that don't even get 1/4 of the way through their source material's story, it was a godsend to finally have a self-contained story which wrapped up nicely.
The cute relationship was icing on the cake.
Also, more series need to have friends who go full 'powarm' over their friends interacting and having relationships. The girls stalking and watching them was equally cute.
>>142115566
>it was a godsend to finally have a self-contained story which wrapped up nicely
There's original anime wrapping up nicely almost every season. It's beyond me why you chose Pleaides as the best representative.
>>142115556
Guess it just comes down to a matter of preference, anon. I'll admit my reasons for enjoying it were really subjective, and based in the fact that I'm a sucker for stories about time and space.
>>142115950
Fair enough, I guess. I'm not saying that it was a physically painful watch either.
>>142114279
Kagurahime was also pretty special. I'm not sure I could watch it forever, but I loved what I saw.

You only say that because the happening finally happened.
Before that was infuriating repetitive cockblocking one chapter after the next.
No, only girls and fags do.
>>142113428
Orange jumped the shark with thesuicide chapter. It set a tone that made me thinkhe would kill himself later despite everything they did.
How to start with shojo besides Ikuhara?
>>142118255
exactly, anon
Same for AoHaraido
I feel sad that there will never be shoujo manga as good as things like Fushigi Yuugi and Twelve Kingdoms were. Akatsuki no Yona fell flat around the way for me.

She's not indecisive, she knows she wants to be reunited with Arashi and just has an awkward "I want senpai to notice me & be helpful to him" crush on Aramaki because of what they have lived together and the fact that he's the first person she met in the new world outside of her team and had a shit life for 15 years.
Natsu is way more of an indecisive character, and a really well-written one.

She got sick and just never went back to it.
She released another of the bonus chapters she used to do a few years back but other than that nothing.
Maybe she doesn't want to go back to it.
>>142118786
Of course not.

I hope you're right Anon. I've had enough of Aramaki suffering for a lifetime.
Posted this in wkr but doubling up just in case.
I cannot find an english translation site that goes past chpt 14 for Marmalade Boy Little. Pls for the love of god help an anon out.

Hanasakeru Seishonen.

B-but anon, when I was talking with a weeb girl about anime and I mentioned that I watch mainly shoujo, she stopped talking to me.
>>142118840
Just go watch any shit made by Mari Okada, and don't call those shoujo, please.
>>142118075
Teenagers in Japan who only watch one episode a week.
>>142118910
I bet she was a fujo
>>142112929
Last game was kind of annoying at times because of the stupid misunderstandings
>>142118927
What are they called, based anon? They're romantic stories with hell a lot of drama, so what do I call them?
>>142118939
>implying teenagers watch anime in Japan
The only ones who watch anime are NEETs.
>>142118910
>talking with a weeb girl
There's your problem.
Jokes aside, I don't know why she reacted that way. Maybe there's another problem afoot.
>>142118967
Well she did mention one of her favourite anime were Kuroko no Basket and Free lmao, you bet she was.
>>142118977
I don't know, soap operas, there's not a name for that.
>>142107450
The only shoujo I'd say that men can enjoy would be Claymore. It's pretty good despite being essentially the girl version of Berserk.
>Shoujo thread
I'll start. This was more than a month ago since last update. Come on scanlation team. The premise is already great.

My sister only watches/reads shounenshit (e.g. HxH) and seinen. Also some currently-airing stuff (Habanero, Re;zero), but nothing even remotely close to cute girls doing cute things.
She hates shoujo. I don't know what she'd think of me if she knew that her brother adored Kaichou wa Maid-sama or any of the other billion shoujos I've watched and enjoyed.
According to your logic, she's a man.Close enough anyway, she's tall DFC.On the other end, I've slept with 2/3 of my attractive female cousins who were a solid 7/10 and a 10/10 with 10 being 'mai waifu'-tier and loved shoujo. I think I found the key to women.

It is true that Zen isn't as prominent as you might think, but this is because he's stuck at the castle, so he sends Obi in his place. Current chapters are focusing on Zen.
It really needs someone to do an editing pass to make the dialogue less stilted though.
>>142119001
yup, that's why shingeki no kyojin got a theme park, right?
>>142119105
Has he stopped starving the loli yet?
>tfw he's a main contender
Fucking disgusting.
>>142119105
The Dragon's Bride?
I don't know what it is about but it remimded me of a manga about a girl who was a sacrifice to a god and had to became his bride.
Is it like that?
>>142119095
>Claymore
>shoujo>good
>>142119161
Fucking Gods think they could do whatever they want. And they can. So you like FUKUSHU boy?
Is this anime going to be any good? Even for the memes?
>>142119196
It's decent for a shoujo, but there aren't many good shoujos. Another that comes to mind is Akatsuki no Yona but that is really scraping the bottom of the barrel.
>>142107450
Marmalade Boy was a great series, but convince me that there's modern shoujo out there that even comes close in terms of quality.
>>142119192
You talking about Bride of the Water God or Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii?
Admit it /a/, you self-insert as the girl.I know I do, I've always self-inserted as the girl in everything from VNs (even in H-scenes) to anime to literature. Maybe it has something to do with being able to better empathize and get along with women than men. Probably because I've always basically acted like a girl since pre-school (I've always been REALLY emotional), and wound up with exclusively female friends.
God, I have brain problems.
>>142119192
Yeah. Interesting already. Now we wait until the scanlators hurry up. I am in serious need of things like these. Stuff like Twelve Kingdoms and Fushigi Yuugi are my fetishes at the moment
How did you feel about Hapi Mari? I personally enjoyed it and I've read it twice now
>>142119268
Bride of the Water God, tho Soredemo does somewhat fit the descripiton.
The art is amazing, shame the translation is shit
>>142119218
>steals her voice
>starves her
If it weren't for him being autistic as fuck the next logical step would be gut-punching.
Fucking anyone is a better alternative.
Is there any point in looking into shoujo manhwa?
>>142119224
MIDDLE SCHOOL. MIIIIIIIDDDDDDDLLLLLLLEEEEEE SSSSSSSCCHHHHOOOOOOLLLLL!!!
>>142119352
>the translation is shit
I couldn't take it anymore once he became a mortal shota. I dropped it a few years back along with a few other things.
>>142119276
Personally, no, not really. I just appreciate a good shoujo that actually builds relationships between characters, which is something that most shounen falls flat on or just avoids altogether.
I definitely find myself cheering on certain characters though, since shoujo is basically built for shipping characters anyway.
>>142119373
best manhwa I know (with the best art too) is a shoujo
W Juliet anyone
>>142119276
Easy fix to brain problems: stop blogging and being gay
What is the difference between shoujos and romance anime? From the ones I have seen they are basically identical outside of some being labeled "shoujo".
As far as I can tell, every non-seinen romance anime is shoujo.
>>142119314
He looks so handsome.
>>142119373
God no! They are absolutely terrible with shit art. Read webtoons instead like Where tangents meet, Orange marmalade and Winter woods
>>142119457
Thanks, I'll have a look. It was just a little impenetrable from the outside, since you could look at the covers of dozens of them and it all seems pretty samey.
