Not enough love for shoujo anime waifus

MCs of shoujo anime > other waifus

Shoujo is garbage.

Correct.

>shoujo anime waifus

Chihayafuru is Josei.

No, you.

Was this shoujo?

Technically that counts. It pokes fun of shoujo tropes.

Although its published in a josei magazine, its style of romance and narrative is shoujo.

So its shoujo

No, it's josei. If it was shoujo then Chihaya would spend all the damn time thinking about Taichi and Arata. Instead she thinks about how she can improve her karuta skills to become Queen.

> practice martial arts
> instructor
> go to Japan for training
> walk into dojo
> Japanese instructor handing out pages
> says in Japanese 'This is a new poem you will recite at the beginning of training when bowing in'
> read the page
> "Chihayafuru kami no oshie wa tokoshie ni tadashiki kokoro mi o mamoru ran"
> fucking yes
> return to Australia
> recite the poem in the same voice they use for karuta before every session

Its shoujo show in the sports genre. Romance is a minor plot element. MCs in Josei series/manga in the romance genre also spend most time thinking about their romantic life

Or are you suggesting that the MC of Nana gives very little thought to her romantic partners?

Prob only likes moeshit shows with bland, utterly artificial girls.

Seinen doesn't count, user.

It's josei.
Shoujo, josei, seinen or shonen aren't genres, they are categories of mangas and magazines that indicate the target demography.

But Chihaya is literally the worst, most boring character in her series?

Sumire is worse

Chihaya is worse than waifufags

she is literally in love with a card game.

Sumire is a great addition. She's fun and serves a vital role as pretty much the only "normal" character (that is, not crazy about Karuta or old-fashioned like Kana) as well as a nice contrast to Chihaya because she's just so different.

And it's still better than 90% of what Sup Forums watches.

nah
you dont consume enough shoujo/josei if you think it's this pristine landscape

We need a Chihayafuru s3 and we need it right fucking now.
