Rant on Shoujo Mangas



I just turned thirteen. I must fall in love ♥.



Those kind of lines, pisses me. Anything similar to those, it be "I just entered high school". Although one of the mangas which will always be one of my favorites, "Koukou Debut" or "High School Debut" had a lead character who wanted to be feminine and get a boyfriend in the beginning of the story, I am dis-gus-ted by any shoujo manga that begins with that. Not to mention the HUGE shoujo-manga eyes that have millions of stars in them.


When looking for a manga to read, I read the synopsis. Most of the time, I am repelled by those few sentences. "Girl A will fall in love with the most popular boy in school but what about Girl B, who is Girl A's best friend who is.... yada yada, blahblah." Seriously. Can't we be a little creative here?



Second: Lead characters who can't choose between two guys.


It's an accepted fact that someone will get friendzoned, so it's not a big deal. One of the mangas I've read (which I regret reading), "Gentlemen's Alliance Cross", had this lead character saying "I will marry them both!". What the fudge.




Third: They're Everywhere.

Specially ecchi ones. I am honestly allergic to ecchi, girls doing disgusting poses, trying to be cute / seductive. Not cute.  (I've read a few, years ago, I was bored).


So, what do I like?

My favorite genre would be "gender bender", I've read almost all non-ecchi / smut / hentai and non-yaoi/yuri/shounenai/shoujoai gender bender mangas and manhuas. Next would be comedy. Majority of the mangas I've read are shoujo mangas. Only a few remains in my heart. And yes, you read that right. I don't read yaoi/yuri/shounenai/shoujoai. Grossgusting, as Coraline would say. We have our own preferences. I'm just telling you crazy fangirls, ME NO GUSTA.



Anyway, manga calls! じゃね~!
