Is this chart accurate?
Shoujo Thread
No? I don't even understand what most of these are supposed to mean.
candy candy was really something author probably had a hate boner for her
Half the terms are not well enough defined for it to be possible for this chart to be "accurate".
>Thot
Explain further
The author had a daddy fetish and forced the dumb suicidal actress garbage to get Terry out of the way.
*clears throat* hello kind sir, I want to get into shoujo but I want stories that have an ending...say, would these happen to be what I'm looking for?
Form:
Lawful Shoujo: looks like a 70 catholic girls' school. 'Rose' is the only tea they drink.
Neutral Shoujo: looks like a normal girls' school. 'Rose' is the name of the gardening club mascot.
Chaotic Shoujo: the school is female. 'Rose' is the past tense of 'rise'.
Function:
Repressed Ai: the princess wants the prince. Class is a struggle, especially when comparing fashion.
Neutral Ai: the princess doesn't want the prince. Class is a struggle, especially math.
Revolutionary Ai: the princess overthrows the prince. Class is a struggle, especially against aristocrats.

I really wanted to read a shojo, can anyone recommend one that appeals to male readers too
Utena is my pick. Rose of Versailles is a classic if you don't mind the dated animation.
I also recently watched Princess Jellyfish and enjoyed it.
>Rose of Versailles
yes thanks I enjoyed this too, i think I follow your other recommendations, open for more esp. school life or similar
All great choices.
Ouran High School Host Club is pretty great.
>100 volumes and still counting
How does Patalliro do it?
Chihayafuru is shoujo, but also a great sports anime.
thanks I will try this but there seems to be only one important female character
>Chihayafuru
thanks
it’s shit
I was kind of mad when the manga turned into what it was trying to make fun of in the end, but the anime is pretty fun. Even when you take your nostalgia goggles off.
No, Candy is not a bitch. She's also pretty hot.
she is a pretty miserable bitch though
Spoonfeed me: What is the thot dumbass manga?
Yeah, Candy is lovely. Lady Georgie is a true bitch.
>Lady Georgie
Georgie was a slut and both her brothers deserved better than her.
Abel was disgusting tho. The only decent person in that story is Arthur.
I’ve seen more guys discuss Nana than women
I felt so bad for Arthur. He was a good boy.
Can we talk about how good Onisama e... is and why is Rei 100% best girl?
The anime's ending is complete trash and while there are some additions that I like it's mostly a straightforward adaptation. I don't think it was ever trying to be a "deconstruction" or whatever term people want to use. It's a shoujo romance series that at times pokes fun at certain tropes. You don't have to be rebelling against tropes to poke fun at them.
We will never get dramatic shoujo masterpieces like that anymore. All shoujo are just school romance shit.
It can't be helped, trash original endings are the fate of all ongoing manga adaptations. It's true that Ouran's not a deconstruction but it was that shoujo that makes fun of other shoujo. It gradually lost that aspect towards the ending for me.
