How many guys read Shojo mangas?

**KainandAbel** · 01-13-2009, 12:05 AM

does TRC count? if so then yes, but that alone. If people find the majority of Shounen Childish and unoriginal then I equally find the majority of Shoujo melodramatic and boring.

Whilst some might argue that Shoujo have a better line in characterisation and emotional depth I can't see that. I have read beyond TRC and my criticisms of it are broadly the same as Emo music: self indulgent and boring whilst trying to maintain a veneer of credebility...

but this rant could just be because I'm a bloke...

My money is on him being a troll though and failing hard at it.

Well said, haha! Mr. Grape is an interesting person from what I've read. I will say this now, but I personally like romance and whatnot. Now, not as much as I love watching people cut up alive

and brutally murdered

or awesome ecchi scenes, but every now and then I like to slow down and enjoy the cute innocent love

of two people. Now adding cute romance with intense ecchi scenes is ultimate

.

Just feel like adding this dancing

Aside from Berserk and Naruto, all my favorite mangas are Shoujos, even before FMA / Death Note.

I kind of fell in Seinen.
I have never read Shōjo, but I think it's okay. It's not like you guys are using tampons.
And I bet some of them could be very interesting.

first of all there's no fault in reading shojo manga or for that matter waatching shojo anime. personally i read what i want when i want, it doesnt have to be shojo, seinen or shonen i will read it if it to my liking, by the way it not gay. I loved chobits and friut basket was good.
