Why I Love to Read Shoujo Manga

Just to give you a brief intro, Shoujo Mangas are Mangas which target readers are females, most likely those at 10 to 18 yrs of age. So these mangas actually showcase friendship and love or more of the young girls' feelings and challenges. Characters in shoujo mangas are usually highschool girls.


So, why do I love reading Shoujo Manga?

1. Because of its ART! Characters here are drawn so pretty and leading men too are darn good looking! This is the most important factor when im looking for new mangas to read. I make sure that it has quality art that I love so much. That will keep you on flipping those chapters!



2. It's simple and easy to read. When I was younger, I used to read Shounen (Mangas for boys!) but may be I got busy and I lost my drive to read them. but in reading Shoujo, I find it very easy since plots in these kind of mangas are into drama, love, school life and friendship which I find not dragging at all.



3. Its MOMENTS and quotable quotes. I tell you, read a chapter or two of these, you'd surely remember some of its scenes! They have this simple yet sweet moments in them. Even though some say that Shoujos nowadays are having the same old plots and scenes, I still find them sweet and touching. I must tell you, Guys in shoujos are super romantic! You may find it very fictitious, but in reality, if he is the right one and you are to him, then it is not impossible to be in those moments of kilig.



4. Its life lessons. They're might be just mangas to you but somehow they're like guide books in being a girl, in how our feelings really works, how we can't always control them. In mangas (or may be in Japan per se), girls are usually the ones who confess their feelings to the guys they like. I find that very cool and hard at the same time (esp in the culture I grew up with). So in Shoujos you'll find yourself reflecting on how the lead characters think and act.
There are so many reasons why I love to read these mangas but I just cant explain, really. 

My all time favorite shoujo is Kare Kano. Addition to that are Bokura Ga Ita, Lovely Complex, Strobe Edge, Koizora, Marmalade Boy, Daa Daa Daa and... I'd love to name all my favorite but that would take me forever to decide. I'm currently reading Ao Haru Ride, Horimiya, Kimi Ni Todoke, Hirunaka No Ryuusei, Suki Tte Ii Na Yo, L-Dk, Mairunovich and a lot more.

Undying love for Kare Kano

here are some of the favorite/memorable quotes from early chapters of the manga. :) posted: March 2010 from my old facebook account.



this are loving and heart pounding lines from the most romantic..
and funny anime love story ever told.. =]
there are so many but i only got few.. =))
i just love arima and miyasawa..
i envy how true and honest their love is.. =)



if there are meetings, then there are also partings too..

a single day in high-school is far more precious than a month is in adulthood..

i just had insults added to injuries...

Laughter, anger worries love friendship competitiveness growth and degeneration:
all these emotions are packed within the doors of a classroom...

if a can't take care of this then i won't succeed in the real world..

i feel relaxed and feel so good...
the shape of the person i love, his weight, his warmth..
it fills my whole body with happiness...
i don't need anything else,
i never knew there were such serenity...13

just the smell of him makes me completely helpless.=17.1

i suddenly feel incomplete when he's not around..=17.1

you're supposed to lose your emotional balance when you fall inlove..
you've met someone who makes you lose your emotional balance that's why they call it stealing your heart.. =maho.17.1

Love is strange, in your heart it has no shape or no weight..
you can't measure it's size or dept.. no one has ever actually seen it..
but it aches without a doubt..

in the end, i like it the best when i'm with you..17





a brand new emotion bloomed with in me.. it spread all through out me..
and took over my body..
his love is so strong, i can't even breath.. is this even possible??
i've fallen in love all over again with the same person..17

i won't let you go.. i don't care if you avoid me or hate me..
how long do you think i waited for you to notice me?!! don't you get it?!
i don't care how you feel about me, i have absolutely no intention of letting you go..17

im sorry i scared you.. i didn't mean to..
i didn't wanna touched you because i'm too embarrassed,
i didn't wanna look you in the eyes because i didn't know what i might do..
when i first saw you yesterday, i realized that i was even more in love with you..
my hearts starts pounding when i'm near you..17

a very precious person says that i'm very precious to her.. that's enough for me..18

this eyes, hands, lips, everything..exist only to experience you.. 18



our bodies haven't touch yet but our souls are definitely touching..18

her light brown hair, her gorgeous eyes, her sweet lips, her thin neck
her warm and soft body..18

we don't have many moments happy as this..so i won't forget..
no matter how much time passes or how much we aged..
i'll remember..

"i won't let you go.. i don't care if you avoid me or hate me.. how long do you think i waited for you to notice me?!! don't you get it?! i don't care how you feel about me, i have absolutely no intention of letting you go.." episode17. =)we don't have many moments happy as this..so i won't forget.. no matter how much time passes or how much we aged.. i'll remember..

Listed: Top Manga/Anime


here are my favorite anime / mangas of all time. KYA! >.<
 
 what i love about this anime / manga is how dramatic yet comedic it is. the story of Yukino Miyazawa and Soichiro Arima is very well narrated in the manga. while the anime adaption was well drawn even at some later part of it was kind off. their story revolves in a quite wide scope. it has drama, romance and some action too. well, i’m also one of those who fall in love with Soichiro. :) ♥
 
who didn’t fall for Light Yagami and L’s witty and well-planned battle? i used to loveshoujo manga and anime, so this is a first for me to actually love this kind of master piece. (though i also love Detective conan.) this epic story was really brain twisting and full of fun. it has action, romance and drama. if you’ll ask me, if which do i prefer most out of Light and L. well, that would be a tie! i love them both. :))
  
Otani and Koizumi tells us a very cute love story. i love how their story progress. their friendship, hardship, and love. i enjoy different emotions their story has to offer. jealousy. complications. compromising. their very heart warming quest for love taught me that when love is true, height doesn’t matter. at all. :) ♥
  
i fancy this series because, first, they’re all gorgeous! and because its full packed! :) kya! >.< each character has a very touchy yet comical story. the way the series was presented through flashback and colorful episodes makes you stick with it until the end. Kaoru and Hikaru are my favorite though i really love them all. kya!
 
“Daa! Daa! Daa!” is definitely the reason why i started to enjoy watching anime! and Kanata Saionji is my first ever anime crush. well, i was very young then. :)) i couldn’t really explain why i love them so much, but i swear that loving this anime had been really the start of me being an anime freak and all. (im so thrilled and proud while typing all this!!!)
 
tell me, who wasn’t captivated by their freaking good looks? the combination of horror, comedy and romance was really the reason why this anime took my breath away. (my words are getting tougher?) well, to sum it all, Wallflower may contain quite weirdness but it actually inspire girls to be come out from their shells and be confident of who they really are. :)
 
Art plus music equals awesome! i really enjoy how their dreams driven their life. how passion to music became a foundation of love and friendships. and plus, Nodame is really a fun and great character. :)
 
obviously, if you were really reading this you’ll figure out that im a really great fan of Shoujo. so the story of this great individuals, sawako and shota, really is exciting and fun. i find it cute the way sawako is very innocent and while shota is being a gentleman. and their friends were a great contribution to their foundation yet didn’t actually set them up directly. all of us dream of having friends that support us in whatever insane thing we want. :)
 
the unique characters of this series makes everything wicked! first, our leading lady is a very strong character and his knight in shining armor is unbelievably better than her. their love story revolving strength and secrets are very intriguing yet sweet. :)
 
here goes another tearjerker anime. it really made me cry, you know! well, sometimes we thought that love is truly enough (i strongly agree to this though.) yet sometimes differences and circumstances challenge how true your love is. it may be corny but its true. when you feel like your love was true then, so when you meet again you’ll feel not only the pain but also love. (those who’ve read this manga would truly understand my sentiments! :D)
