The demography if pretty cure is
Females aged 6-12
Males aged 17-25

Is Rose of Versailles really shoujo in the genre sense, rather than the mere manga-demographic one?

Who is that?

Groucho.

Real men don't have to prove anything, but yeah, shoujo is pretty good.

Utena my fav

Is rose of versailles a good read?

>referring to a colloquial meaning as such is now improper in itself
When the colloquial meaning is not only nebulous but outright WRONG, yes, it is improper, doubly so.
It's bretty good, I like Orpheus more but it's a matter of taste.

Don't use emoticons on Sup Forums.

Why don't we have an actual shoujo thread? What are you anons reading?

Shoujo.

>reading
I'm watching shoujo anime.

Utena is a mediocre show overrated by faggots and yurifriends.

Will the fukushu boy win?

Damn nice manga.

Real men play otome games

Manliest Mcman´s thread?

Manly man with muscle chest.

>user doesn't understand words
cute.

...

>Orpheus
Good taste.

Oscar is the best of the best, though.

...

There are good shoujo manga?

Yes. But don't tell anybody. It's a secret.

Rose of Versailles is the greatest anime of all time and my jap teacher agrees.

Nah, it's not really shoujo.

It has flowers and shit, and some romance plots, but it's generally seinen.

You have no idea what shoujo or seinen mean.
Lurk more.

Is anyone ever going to translate Orpheus?

It's at least partially translated.

I finally caught up with Watashi ga Motete and I hate that I like it.
Best boy or best girl won't win though.

I liked the anime more, the manga became tiring around the end where every men tried to romance or even rape Oscar.
Antoinette was the most interesting character.

What happened to the ROV omnibus which was supposed to be coming out in English anyway? I'd love to own it.

Are there any good charts for Shoujo anime and manga?

I find it hilarious how pic related was the trope setter for pure shoujo heroine and villainous shoujo antagonist even though the original book is not that straightforward at all.

The translation then adaptation is to blame, since they don't really capture the essence of the original. And the Japs who can read English agree, according to the Japanese reviews of the English book on Amazon.

Sara is up there with Shuurei as this scary serious and tough heroine. She's nowhere near the supposed saint-like perfect girl some folks think she is.

Never read the manga but I hear it's more antoinettes story whereas the anime is oscars story.

Obviously. She's the goddamn historical character, and Oscar is just an OC.

So?

What does Sup Forums think about oniisama e?

It's rad.

It's heavy.

fuckfuckfuck you

I keep hearing this, but shouldn't men move on to josei at some point?

There's an anime...

I recently finished reading this. Damn, this was too cute.

Is this about the yankee girl? I forgot the name?

Been reading Spicy Pink because I'm a sucker for Yoshizumi Wataru. No one's ever gonna pick marmalade boy little back up, damnit. Also rewatching Natsume Yuujinchou. The comfiest of shows.

I need more cute & funny shoujo series. Also, why are shoujo scanlation groups almost all unbelievably shit?

Because it's not very big compared to the shounen base. Some of the shoujo I really want scanlated have been on hiatus for months or even years.

Yes, Seishun Otome Banchou.

that looks fucking brutal, I love it

Agree, Fruits Basket is great.

I liked furuba when I was younger, but I get the feeling if I revisited it I wouldn't feel the same.

Which is a shame because when I was reading it the last volume wasn't out/scanlated yet.

Gay

OF COURSE

Kanata Kara. Noriko a fucking cute.

A wild ride.

I'm at Episode 2 and the drama is already in full fucking swing with actual physical violence and what looks like an illuminati lesbian rape society; and everyone seems to be borderline psychotic.

Is it always this good?

Is that Marth?

SWAN SCANS WHERE

Yes

The only bad thing is Mariko getting healed of her male hatred by one of the bishounen. Her male hatred made her hardcore.

I love it so much. Do you have a good download to point me to? I haven't watched that shit since I had fansubs of it on VHS.

Try google.

Yeah that was my next step, but I figured if someone here had a solid recommendation I would rather take that than whatever first result google gives me.

>it's a Tomoko episode

>implying it's a bad thing
>implying it's not my fetish

Does it go into sukeban territory at any point?
I really want to see charming and emotionally fragile young girls beat the shit out of each other with wooden swords.

How the fuck can you have been around since the VHS days and still need people to spoonfeed you on this?

>shoujo in the genre sense
There is no "shoujo in the genre sense."

Yes there fucking is. To the point where it's been parodied for decades

No, there fucking isn't, and having parodies doesn't make it a genre. You might mean "is it stereotypical?" or "does it fit these preconceptions I have?" but "is it part of the shoujo genre?" makes no sense. Just like Dragonball Z and co. being parodied doesn't make battle shounen the "shounen genre".

There isn't NEARLY enough porn of shoujo romance girls.

Why isn't there a doujin where Lady Oscar grows male genitals and has her dick sounded until she's mindbroken?

She's the shittiest friend. When the black haired girl made her think that the MC didn't like her, or whatever it was, she just took it instead of asking her suposed best friend first.

I don't think you know what a genre is.

Why is Maya/Ayumi so superior to Maya/PurpleRose?

Except "shounen" is regularly used to mean "battle shounen" even here on Sup Forums.
Complain all you want, I'd say you're even right to oppose the acceptance of the expansion; but that doesn't mean that words don't acquire connotations and additional meanings which are used.

...

Thank you, Mr Purple Rose!

Nana.
When is the mangaka going to continue the manga? Never?

Approximately never. ;_;

Thank you, Mr Purple Rose!

I blame the purityfags.

Age gap shit disturbs me deeply 95% of the time (mfw Usagi Drop), but when it's done well I love it.

>tfw me and my m8 were planning to write a pornographic novel based on shoujo romance clichés and our favorite exhentai tags, but he got a job and dropped the project

Should I continue it?

As shorthand, sure, but no one would say "Well, see, Devilman/Lucky Star/Nisekoi/whatever is shounen, but is it REALLY part of the shounen genre?" except for complete newfag retards.

>What are you anons reading?
I've just finished pic related. Fucking loved it.

Also I'm following a lot of ongoing shit. Too much shit.

Fair point.
>There isn't NEARLY enough porn of shoujo romance girls.
>Why isn't there a doujin where Lady Oscar
YES
>grows male genitals and has her dick sounded until she's mindbroken?
Well, I wouldn't even have thought that could be a thing.

I'd buy it provided the writing was good.

Go for it.

You lack imagination.

I fucking love age gap shit, but Usagi Drop was retarded.

Have you tried reading Takane to Hana? I swear the ages work in reverse.

One generally doesn't want to imagine things that make one extremely uncomfortable.

I do it because either I'll get a source or I'll trigger some babies, it's win-win.
