BASARA 2024 || rabid sett fan ⚔️ mostly my shoujosei musings but I read webtoons too ◽️I also make fanart on occasion ◽️Please don’t re-upload / re-use my art.
Why are they calling avary a p**dophile in the replies?? she just said it seemed like Nobara liked girls not that she herself wanted to fk her 💀 think you guys are projecting a bit cause the only fem characters you like are the ones you wanna stick ur d*ck in ✌️
It’s so funny that shonen bros be like I can’t touch shoujo b/c I hate romance and meanwhile if their shonen doesn’t have a romance conclusion they’re shitting their pants.
I just wanna thank everyone for not letting this sh*t fly it’s the fact that we collectively made it clear we don’t want this sh*t that they heard us!! And they’re making the skirt longer. A huge win and also good on them for listening.
I love how everyone in Fruits Basket got a huge fashion update from the 2001 anime but with Haru they said why fix what ain’t broken 🐮what a timeless fashion king
Manga that is NOT a shoujo but people will leave on shoujo rec tweets without fail:
- Horimiya
- Skip and Loafer
- Apothecary Diaries
- Witch Hat Atelier
- Romantic Killer
a josei manga with an adult relationship that include sex that feel so naturally apart of the plot and emphasizes the intimacy and love between the couple that makes me wanna punch the air and cry rather than just being there for titillation is so hard to find but Honnou Switch >
Kodansha’s Shoujo and Josei Manga Print Catalogue || 2024
A conclusive list of all the currently ongoing series in print releasing by Kodansha.

The neon green is like quintessential to the green lesbians DON’T FKING DULL IT DOWN JUST B/C YOUR ASS IS TOO CHEAP TO GET A PRINTER THAT CAN ACTUALLY PRINT THE NEON COLOUR I WILL [ ] YOU
Here are 4 SEINEN series that are all getting anime adaptations. What do they have in common? Being “shoujo-esque”. So why are all these getting adaptations over the shoujosei ones? Even the series who sell as much, the seinen ones always get preference… gee I wonder why.
The dudes are so pressed over “drawings” as they call it. So let me get this straight it’s fine to sexualize a minor b/c she’s not real but heaven FORBID we think a character (who isn’t real) as a lesbian. The logical hoops y’all jump through should get you a job at the circus
Personally I have less of a problem that they sculpted her panties and more of a problem that they advertised it this way?? Why would you take a photo from this angle like you best believe if I got this statue I would not be letting my girl flash everyone!!! BE FR
Kind of wild when you rly think about it the guy who bleaches his hair silver said “I better colour it black for her parents so they think I’m respectable” FOR THE GIRL WITH PINK HAIR?? Like is the logic here that Yuki’s hair is “naturally” pink or what 😭
“Men have terrible writing in shoujo” explain this then.
Honestly a criticism of mine is that sometimes the (usually) male love interests have more development than the MC 💀
1. The mangaka was not held at gunpoint and forced to make this series they were catering to a market that wants to see Highschool girls sexualized but not feel bad about it.
2. Marin is not a real person. She did not choose to do anything. So stop acting like she has agency.

Why does My Dress Up Darling have fanservice? Why can't Gojo and Marin be in college? I'm here to answer these questions. Feel free to chime in if you have an opinion, but remember to keep it respectful please.
NOOOO MY TOHRU TWEET WENT VIRAL, LEFT MY TARGET AUDIENCE, AND NOW I HAVE TO EXPLAIN WHY IT’S WEIRD THEY CHOSE TO ADVERTISE THE DETAILS OF THE TOHRU STATUE WITH A PANTY SHOT
Ok so I got really mad and then blacked out and wrote a review on this b/c I haven’t felt this kind of rage for a story since I read the Peach Girl sequel and I need us all to remain a strong front and NOT BUY THIS CRAP!! Like STAND UPPPP
It’s so funny that this person would be like yeah I haven’t read sign of affection but Oushi is the better choice bc her boyfriend is “touchy feeling” when that blud did this unprovoked. Maybe don’t speak on things you have no idea about dsnkjdn
I feel like the clear moonlit dusk /tried/ to say something about gender and self expression but instead the message boiled down to “let women be feminine” which is already the social norm and expected of women… and that’s why it’s such a damn shame 😭
I am so confused why English Publishers are so behind every other language conceivable, the French, German, and Spanish version all has manga special editions with goodies— some even uniquely created not even available in Japan like WHEN WILL IT BE OUR TURN??
🤍 Manga Rec: 200 M Saki No Netsu
A psychological thriller ‘ horror about Kikka who dated a guy in highschool who “finished to quickly” and has spent the last 10 years planning to make her his bride by becoming her boss and making her solely dependant on him, unbeknownst to her!
Let’s do a deep dive into Kodansha’s physical shoujo and josei manga publishing in English! It’s really interesting to chronicle what Kodansha decides to publish and what that means for us who like to collect physical prints!
I DON’T THINK I COULD HATE A FICTIONAL CHARACTER MORE HE IS THE ANTI CHRIST I NEED AI YAZAWA TO PICK UP HER PEN AND WRITE HIS DOWNFALL ARC I NEED HIM GONE I NEED HIM WASHED UP I NEED HIM WITH A RECEDING HAIRLINE, NO MONEY, KIDS CUT HIM OFF, A BUM THAT NOBODY WANTS
I know I am the last one to say it but I LOVED MY LOVE STORY WITH YAMADA-KUN AT LV999 LIKE THIS IS /THE/ SHOUJO ANIME I HAVE BEEN WAITING NATURE IS FINALLY HEALING. I was giggling the whole time and screaming. Like I actually can’t wait for the next episode??
You are correct, I have not read much shoujo at all, but that’s not because I think romance is bad, cringe, or that anyone is lesser for it.
I personally fucking love romance, but I like it best when it’s integrated into a larger story.
Brand-new license announcement! RE-LIVING MY LIFE WITH A BOYFRIEND WHO DOESN’T REMEMBER ME (MANGA) by Eiko Mutsuhana and Gin Shirakawa—a fantasy tale of mystery and romance based on the critically acclaimed light novel series!
Me when I tell you to read the ~casual~ 50 volume josei manga about a niche Japanese card game and a painful love triangle with an ending that pissed half the fandom off
Kodansha has announced 4 new josei manga in print!! It’s time to update the stats. This is a… interesting batch of announcements especially since it’s all josei.

lots of shoujo capture the tenderness of emotional scenes so well that you feel like you're intruding on their privacy. like you're a fly on the wall rubbing your hands in glee as two people who are starved for each other's affection slowly come closer together and (almost) touch
It’s really starting to piss me off that the MAIN CHARACTER of her own series doesn’t have a figure just these annoying side hos ??? GIVE ME TOHRU HONDA YOU COWARDS !!! THIS ISN’T FAIR
Friends to lovers is only good if it’s a slow burn filled with conflicting emotions, longing, confusion, ugly jealousy, and a breakup arc when they hadn’t even started dating… so basically them
The most fked up thing that manga publishers have pushed on us is that it’s “our fault” when shoujo and josei titles don’t sell. Nuh-uh this is capitalism 101 baby you don’t blame YOUR CONSUMER for your own shortcomings. We are not free advertisers nor stockholders be serious.
People need to lay off Skip beat. You wish your fav could be this long and be consistently good. Each arc is a different acting challenge Kyoko embarks on and they both advance the plot (her career as an actress) and expand on the characters giving them depth and nuance+ IT’S FUN
Isolated geniuses who couldn’t be around kids their own age b/c they far exceeded their level and so they developed such deep seated loneliness and self sufficiency that made them unable to ask others for help…
@Octavius_DP
Then he also had the audacity to say not to kill ex cons… like so wait a minute you DO believe in rehabilitation.. so why were you out killing in the droves 💀 it was always about the illusion of power
Yes I realize that the online version and the printed version may look different thank you to everyone who has explained that to me. I thought I made that clear but I also hate the cover design also dskjndsknj.
