Just like what the title said. Also it will also have a special episode OVA as well.

Further details still to be announced.

I realized that I’ve been making introduction write-ups about various Shojo and Josei manga magazines for a while now (we’re up to 18!), so I wanted to share a post compiling them for those new to manga magazines!

I'm kinda tired and have been working a lot lately so I just want some good shoujo (romance prefered but all is welcome) to read before sleep 🫠

Thank you 🫶

My original art of Koyun using watercolors

This isn’t directly about shoujo, but I read shoujosei almost exclusively which is why I wanted to pose the question here.

Obviously, reading a manga volume counts as reading. But ive always struggled (with myself, this is purely self inflicted) with counting manga toward my book count for the year.

I’ve always loved reading both novels and nonfiction books, but I haven’t been able to read as much (audiobooks included) in the past few years because of a combination of work stress, forgetting to, or just not feeling engaged enough with what I’m reading even though I want to read the book in front of me.

But I’ve maintained reading manga and go through phases every few months where I read a bunch of manga in a short period of time.

I guess I struggle with counting it towards my book count because they’re not only short, but they’re visual with minimal words so even though I obviously read it, the sense of accomplishment doesn’t feel the same as reading most other books. I do feel that when I finish a series, however.

The answer to this question won’t impact whether or not I read manga or read anything at all, but it is something I’ve always been curious to hear others’ thoughts on.

​

Yumiko oshima art is incredible, I cant belive none of her mangas are licensed!

First image is from Banana bread no pudding

Second to fourth is from the star of cottonland

anyone else who read her mangas?

Im looking for this old shoujo high school manga that i have read a long time ago. I think it also got adapted to jdrama. I only remember this specific scene where the girl princess carry the guy. I think the story is about a guy is trying to be cool at school but this girl beat him to it like she's cooler something like that and he fell in love with her because of that. I dont remember much but that princess carry scene is all i can remember. Please someone help mee. Chatgpt is uselesss 😭😭

I'm reading Ao Haru Ride, and Aya said exactly what I wanted to say to Kou, he really gave Kou a serious talking-to something Kou had long deserved and that I’d wanted to do myself for ages. Thank you, Aya, you tried to warn Kou from the very beginning not to mess things up, but unfortunately, he didn't listen to you. I wish you the best; I hope you win Murao over and that the two of you find great happiness together. 🥰

First Love, Worst Love on K Manga

Hey, everyone!

I'm looking for some of your favorite recs for deeply dramatic, psychological shoujo works. I've been reading a lot of Moto Hagio, Keiko Takemiya, and Yumi Tamura currently (just finished volume 20 of 7Seeds, so good!). I recently read Cipher, too, which was fantastic.

I'm also watching Dear Brother and am a huge fan of shows like Utena, Aim for the Ace, RoV, etc.

I would love to just learn about your favorite dramatic, serious or silly, over-the top or deeply brooding picks. I'm open to anything.

Thanks!

TW: incest

name: the queen’s dogs (女王の狗) raws: https://www.cmoa.jp/title/305156/?order=up#buyarea

summary: basically the fl is a princess who dreams of succeeding her father and becoming the emperor of the phoenix empire. however, an incident happens that causes everyone to turn their backs on her, likely orchestrated by her yandere twin brother. her father’s concubine (aka the ml) then helps her regain influence and power again

—

the fl’s twin brother is the guy w red hair & the ml is the guy w long black hair

there are already two volumes released but only the first two chapters are translated !

there’s obviously a lot to unpack here, which is why i hope this gets picked up again. it’s lowkey giving vampire knight vibes bc of how messy it is, but i can’t judge too much purely based off two chapters & the author’s X account. the ml being her father’s concubine is definitely something though 😅😭 im curious if fl’s brother will actually be portrayed as a sml or if he’ll be portrayed more as an antagonist

at first, i didn’t think much of the brother but the creator actually posted a side story (?) of fl’s yandere brother imprisoning AND forcibly marrying her on their twitter account (@yoshikazucham). again, big tw for incest bc they’re half siblings & nsfw warning for the side story if you decide to look for it. disclaimer: im not sure if this is actually part of the manga or if it’s just an extra story unrelated to the plot 😅

if anyone has any spoilers, pls lmk!! the raws currently have 18 released chapters

Visual wise it was beautiful (it's MAPPA afterall)...Im not familiar with the Manga or the Og Anime adaptation (infact i have almost zero knowledge before watching this)...but i feels like the movie skip a lot of stuff through narration and some montage(in a beautiful way i guess)..also the song placement was kinda overwhelming and none of it (imo) are memorable..

Should I read the manga or watch the og anime (or both?)

Hi, I know many people have asked this question before, and I'm actually aware about the article in which it says their dynamic won't be romantic, but I don't know what the original Japanese in that interview was so I want to ask people who have read farther along in the manga in Japanese what they personally think. I love Magical Girl Dandelion but I just don't really want a romance, and so if I can save myself some time and heartbreak by getting a warning beforehand, that would be great.

Does the relationship between Tanpopo and Shade dip into romance at the point of the manga we're in right now? Or would you say it's still a platonic dynamic of some sort?

Edit: thanks for answering everyone! I really appreciate it. I think I'll keep reading it.

I just wanted to share the light novels that I’ve read which I enjoyed and think are worth checking out for others!

Light novels are a great way to get used to reading more prose if you’re looking to read more but mostly stick to manga and/or find reading full-length novels difficult for various reasons (time, length, etc).

The world is a better place with more people reading, and I hope more people can check out these books I’ve enjoyed too😊

I read a lot of these through my library on Hoopla and Libby, so if you’re uncertain about them it’s definitely worth checking out what your library offers!

What are your favorite light novels?

Hello, as the title says, I recently got caught up on Tales of the Tendo family and I'm really into this dynamic right now. I would appreciate any recommendations for similar manga, huge plus if it is a finished series from the last decade or so and also available on Google Books. Also I'm not really into the Yakuza/Mafia trope. I tried searching r/YendereMale but got slightly overwhelmed. 😅

Other manga I have read and enjoyed recently include:

Firefly Wedding (which then led me to Tales of the Tendo Family)

The Ayakashi Hunter's Tainted Bride

My Happy Marriage (watched the anime)

Bride of the Barrier Master

I also really enjoyed the anime for An Observation Log of My Fiancée who Calls Herself a Villainess.

Bonus points for either extremely sheltered FL or traumatized/abused FL. Thank you!!! 💜

Finally an update on the 3 special episodes for My Happy Marriage!!!

I feel so incredibly lucky🥹 the merch was super cute and I loved being able to buy for shows that are under appreciated

There’s this manga where a girl has been into this childhood friend of hers but his younger brother also likes her. And the younger brother is a waiter or something. He’s younger than the FL.

I'm looking for the manga "The Ogres Bride," but I've only found up to chapter 23. Any ideas where I can find the rest?
