Favorite Shojo Manga?

Postby **Iapetus** » Mon Feb 23, 2004 12:01 pm

What kind of shojo manga does everyone like? Sometimes the most popular anime and manga titles appear to be shounen, and I wonder which ones are people's favorites. ^^

Favorite shojo manga:
Fruits Basket
W-Juliet
Kare Kano
Alice the 19th
Sailor Moon

I saw a bit of Furuba the manga, and I liked what I saw of that. Since there's no more anime, I guess I'll be reading the manga for the rest of the story. :sweat:

Is Angelic Layer Shoujo?If so that is my favorate.

I don't really read that much shoujo though. All I have is Tokyo Mew Mew and Fruit Baskets.

Clover is my favourite, although i'm not sure it's for girls, it's more serious.
Fruits Basket is great!! it's my second favourite. after that, i like GALS!, Urukyu, Hanazakari no Kimitachi E, and Imadoki! of course there are lots more, but i won't list them all here. *^v^*

Yes, Angelic Layer is part shoujo, going a little Shonen.

Otherwise my favorite shoujo manga has to be X/1999 and I sometimes like reading Magic Ray Knight Earth, when I am at my friends houst :sweat:

I must say, my favorite shojos are:
Fushigi Yugi
and Inuyasha (tho I'm not sure how much of a shojo it would be considered to others)

Angelic Layer, Magic Knight Rayearth, Sailor Moon and Cardcaptor Sakura are my favorite Shojos. That is very little compared to how much Shonen titles I read.....

Furuba (Fruits Basket)
Magic Knights Rayearth
Angelic Layer
ION
Time Stranger Kyoko
Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne
...oh heck, just about anything by Tanemura Arina

I'm not sure how you classify Azumanga Daioh, but I like that one too! ^^

Postby **Psycho Ann** » Mon Feb 23, 2004 3:26 pm

Anything by Hiromi Mashiba (forgot the real titles), Kyoko Hikawa (Kanata Kara, etc), and some others like Mekakushi no Kuni, Perfect Girl Evolution, Toware no Minoue, and Platinum Garden. (so much bishonen!! O_O)

Angelic Layer
Fruits Basket
Full Moon wo Sagashite
Fushigi Yuugi

I've definitely read a lot more Shonen manga than I have Shojo. ^^;

My favorites are Magic Knight Rayearth, Angelic Layer, and Card Captor Sakura. I also like Fushigi Yugi. I read as much, if not more, shoujo than I do shounen, though some titles I read are a mix of both.

> I'm not sure how you classify Azumanga Daioh,

Seems shoojo to me, IMHO.

Chobits is at least half shojo, so we have that one, Fruits Baskets, Magic Knight Rayearth, and Suki. Onegai Teacher is more shojo than shonen, so we'll throw that one in too.

Top three: Onegai Teacher, Chobits, and Fruits Basket.

i love shojo manga... unfourtunatly it can be difficult to find shojo that is relatively clean (most shojo ive read has some form of nudity or sexual content) but there is one that i read that has minimal amounts of those (at least so far as im only on vol. 2 and cant find 3 ANYWHERE) and that is

Ceres: Celestial Legend. its really well written and has amazing art. but again i cant provide any details as to content after the first 2 volumes

Well steam detectives, and well naruto is kinda shojuo

Postby **Kireihana** » Wed Feb 25, 2004 3:28 pm

Ehh, I wouldn't consider Naruto to be shoujo. I really haven't read much shoujo, though, although I think MegaTokyo is kind of shoujo-ish.

Postby **Iapetus** » Wed Feb 25, 2004 9:06 pm

I wouldn't consider Naruto shojo since it is in SHONEN Jump... (it is a good series, though).

Mave.... are we going to the same shoujo sites? XD (DGT, Hush Project, etc?)

His and Her circumstances

my friend got me hooked on Marmalade Boy.....

kinda embarresed readin these at school

Postby **Bobtheduck** » Thu Feb 26, 2004 4:14 pm

Kodocha
Marmelade Boy

I don't have much "manga" experience.

I would read Sailormoon if there were an accurate translation out there that didn't use the DiC naming convention and universe laws for the series.

Postby **Kisa** » Thu Feb 26, 2004 6:24 pm

Fruits Basket
Fushigi Yuugi
Tokyo Mew Mew
Angelic Layer
Magic Knights Rayearth
Cardcaptor Sakura
Anything that is KAWAII! ^_^

does anyone know anything about please save my earth? like content wise? cause lots of shojo manga has nudity/sexual content and i would rather not start reading a series that goes there... any help would be great

Postby **Psycho Ann** » Wed Mar 03, 2004 4:59 pm

Isn't there a Please Save My Earth thread somewhere? Anyway, I read the whole manga series and all I can think of it a little bit of violence, some 'light shoujo' nudity, suggested rape, reincarnation, some weird psyhic powers, angst and drama....

It's actually a very interesting story if you don't mind the above and the complicated love plots with just a bit of nearly non-existant shoujo ai (or was it shonen ai? I forgot which character turned into which since after getting reincarnated one of the characters switched genders ^^;; ).

Postby **RoyalWing** » Wed Mar 03, 2004 6:22 pm

most of the comic books i read are oriented towards girls (and i make sure before i buy them that there is no extreme smuttyness) the are:

-"Fruits Basket"
-"Clover" (though i heard it was geared towards "women" not "girls"; i don't know really)
-"GALS!"
-"Urukyu"
-"Imadoki!"
-"DiGi Charat"
and many more...
p.s. i don't think chobits is a girl's comic... considering it ran in a boy's magazine.

oops didn't see this one...

yes, I do go to DGT, Hush, Mangaproject, but I only download the HTML link coz I don't use IRC. ^^;

Shonen = SnoopyCool, Thienz's Naruto Collection, Toriyama's World...

:brow:

Postby **Psycho Ann** » Fri Mar 05, 2004 12:56 am

Hah! We're going to the same shonen sites as well ^^;;; And yeah, bittorrent and html all the way XD You should try Anime Waves's Perfect Girl Evolution--that has got to be the silliest/stupidest 'serious' shoujo I ever read XD

Postby **Kkun** » Thu Mar 11, 2004 3:50 pm

Kodomo no Omocha, hands down...

Postby **Staci** » Thu Mar 11, 2004 3:59 pm

Fushigi Yuugi is one of my favorites, though I have yet to read more Manga. It is a newer hobby for me and I am sure it will later be replaced by a different title.

Shoujo titles I am interested in:

- Sailor Moon

- Fruits Basket

- Magic Knight Rayearth

- Ceres, Celestial Legend

- Card Captor Sakura

:thumb: Sounds like a decent list to start off with!
