but your lows will have their complement of highs.

Heyyy, so as I think I have mentioned a few times in the last couple of weeks, I have been super into shoujo manga for like, absolutely no reason whatsoever, so! Normally I hate shoujo with a burning passion - I don't really know how to explain it to you, but I just am not particularly interested in feelings and relationships and blah blah blah ( Read more... )

OH GOOD please enjoy them. Some of them are normal shoujo but others are def on the weird side :|

I will definitely be checking some of these out when I get the time. =)

terrorcandy January 23 2010, 06:36:35 UTC

Tell me if you like them!!

Would I like Otomen? I admit to totally having a weakness for stories about gender. And for stories with big manly dudes who secretly cook and sew who love kickass dudes who would be uke elsewhere ladies. And for stories which include writers writing a story about the story. Meta, it is delicious!

So... quid tu penses, amica?

terrorcandy January 23 2010, 06:17:02 UTC

I think so! I think you are more sensitive to gender stuff than I am, so I have been wrong before, but besides how the manga focuses more on the two boys (who are fantastic), Ryo is really great in terms of just like. She is a little airheaded but it's because she is airheaded, not female. And! And!! Ugh Erika

In one chapter she swoops in on a white horse to rescue him from an unwanted marriage I don't even know, it's so good.

our taste in shoujo is so similar it is scary. I've read all but two of these and the only reason I haven't finished them all is I hate ongoing scanlations.

terrorcandy January 23 2010, 09:48:27 UTC

Secretly I hate them, too, but sometimes a series is worth it! Also sometimes you buy all of Golden Days, read the ending, and cry your eyes out.

proudfoot September 23 2010, 17:28:48 UTC

you know i came back to this post and started reading golden days, now i am really sad the scanlation is only on volume 3, and like. OH GOD I'M SO WORRIED I HOPE YOU WERE CRYING YOUR EYES OUT BECAUSE YOU WERE JUST THAT HAPPY
