I really hate how anime fans talk about Jpop. It's all just "anime openings" to them. Japan has the second largest music market in the world and its unfair to these artist to be reduced to "the 3rd Naruto OP"

If Viz made a Shojo beat app with the same access to content like the Shonen Jump app it doesn’t even have to be $2 a month. That would be a dream but I would gladly pay $10 a month for access to all the Shojo beat manga + new chapters of everything from Hana to Yume or Margret.

People complain all the time that High school Shojo is too fluffy or safe or all the boys are boring or too nice. But then when there is a romance that challenges that it's "toxic" What do you want? Safe characters or complicated characters with flaws they work through?
