Shoujo Manga Overload

Here are the list of the completed shoujo manga ive read. I only posted the ones worth reading and are highly recommended. (not in order) :P


HAVE FUN!


♥ °•✫ Fruits Basket ♥ °•✫

by: Takaya Natsuki

Tohru Honda has been living in a tent since her mother dies in a car accident, but ends up living instead with Yuki Sohma, her school's "prince", along with his relatives Shigure and Kyo. But Tohru soon discovers that the Sohma clan has a secret of it's own: certain members of the family are possessed by the animals of the Zodiac, so whenever they are hugged by a member of the opposite sex they turn into that animal! Tohru promises to keep their secret and vows to somehow break the curse, and she may just end up healing the Sohma clan members in other ways as well...

... love the drama, the romance, and the cuteness. You'll totally love all the characters. I prefer reading the manga but the anime is also very cute. I do like both versions. You'll gonna love all the characters, be it protagonists or the antagonists <3


Shigure, Yuki, Tohru, Kyo




♥ °•✫ Strobe Edge ♥ °•✫

by: Sakisaka Io

Having no experience in romance, the vibrant Ninako curiously explores the meaning of what “love” really is, and is surprised to feel a colorful range of emotions as she grows closer to the school heartthrob, the quiet yet gentle Ren, who also happens to be involved in a longtime relationship. With every intention of keeping her head held high, Ninako prepares to face the mental pain of this one-sided love that she had allowed to take root, facing a series of trials that would either contribute to her growth as a headstrong woman, or break her as it did with other girls.

... this manga by Sakisaka Io is one of the best. Although Ninako (the heroine) pisses me off sometimes being that daring and all, I still admire her character. She never gave up loving Ren (the main guy) and her efforts totally paid off in the end. i think, the mushiness and cheesiness of this manga is because of Ichinose Ren. He's just so..... perf----ect!


Ninako and Ren





♥ °•✫ Moe Kare ♥ °•✫

by: Ikeyamada Go

Wakamiya Hikaru is a 15 year old teenager who read Shoujo mangas all the time. She wants a boyfriend that'll protect her and be her prince, just like in the mangas. One day... she gets into a tough situation and she was saved by a handsome boy. In return for saving her, she gets kissed by the boy who she calls the "Perverted Prince." Later on, she finds a guy who looks exactly like him, but has different eyes. What's going on?

... at first, i actually hesitated reading this manga because i thought that the main girl is just another typical clumsy/cutesy character but i was kinda wrong. I just hate crybaby characters like Hikaru (the main girl) but the plot is very nice plus the two main guys are totally adorable. I label this as a dramatic shoujo manga and the ending is very very nice!


Arata, Hikaru, and Takara





♥ °• Cat Street ♥ °•

by: Kamio Youko

The story centers around Keito Aoyama, a former famous child actress. Due to a childhood incident, she retired from her career early and withdrew from normal society. Now 16, she passes her days in boredom and without purpose. But one day she runs into a stranger who takes her to El Liston--a free school for high school students like herself, who don't have a place where they belong. Though hesitant at first, Keito decides to enter El Liston and subsequently, she begins a new stage in her life. With the help of her only remaining childhood friend, Taiyou, and her new classmates Rei, Momiji, and Kouichi, Keito slowly finds the courage to open up to others and to accept their support. Will Keito return to acting? Will she find true friends? Love?

... i think this is an underrated shoujo manga. the art is not that appealing as Strobe Edge but plot-wise, this is a very very good one. You'll surely get used to its art up to the end anyway. I was immediately hooked up with the plot and the characters. It's not just your typical romantic manga but it has a depth of reality about romance, friendship, and family.


Keito, Kouichi, Rei, Momiji





♥ °• Hitoribocchi wa Samishikute ♥ °•

by: Chiba Kozue

All she could ever think about was flying. Shio is a loner who has a secret dream locked up inside of her. However, she encounters a situation with the guy that will change her life forever.. and so the journey towards her dreams will slowly begin to unravel.

... this is a cute story about love and dreams. The main girl, Shio loves to write songs while the main guy, Nao is a guitarist. Together they search for their dreams to sing and play during the school's summer vacation. It's a fast pacing manga and has only 18 chapters but the whole story and the art are really great.


Nao and Shio





♥ °• Itazura na Kiss ♥ °•

by: Tada Kaoru

High school senior Aihara Kotoko has had a crush on Irie Naoki since freshman year. But she's been discouraged from confessing to him by a few things: he's a member of "Class A," the top ranking class in school, where as she's in "Class F"; he gets the top score on every exam; and he's so smart, popular, and handsome that he's been class president every year. When Kotoki finally musters up the courage to present him with a love letter, though, Naoki outright refuses it, telling her point blank--with a look of disgust and boredom--that he doesn't like "stupid girls." Poor Kotoko's worst nightmare! Her heart is broken, but then a change in circumstance forces Naoki and Kotoko to be together every day...!?

... i actually havent read the manga but watched the anime. This one of my top anime favorites. I love the realistic plot. I think this is considered a shoujo-josei manga but oh well, who cares about that, lol. I love the drama and the comedy not to mention the romance. I didnt really mind the art of this show though because i rate it through its substance.


Naoki and Kotoko





♥ °• La Corda D'Oro ♥ °•

by: Kure Yuki

Hino Kahoko goes to this amazing school, though she is in the regular department and knows nearly nothing of music. That is until one day, when she meets a curious little creature who introduces himself as a music fairy by the name of Lili. This fairy gives the unwilling Kahoko a magical violin, which any one can play. That day, the names of the students who are to participate in the music competition are announced – and Kahoko's on the list! Suddenly Kahoko is thrown into a world of music, where every note counts, where she must strive to be perfect. And then there are the other competitors, a timid girl and five handsome, musical young men who are all effected by Kahoko's music in very different ways. One thing's for sure – Seiso Academy will never be the same.

... i love reverse harem and this is one them!!! i love both the manga and anime. I mean who wouldnt love Len Tsukimori or Aoi Kaji, or Tsuchiura Ryoutarou?! When i learned about this manga/anime, it made me finally appreciate classical music.


Shimizu Keiichi, Tsukimori Len, Tsuchiura Ryou, Hihara Kazuki, Yunoki Azuma





♥ °• Hakuouki series ♥ °•

by: Design Factory

The protagonist, Yukimura Chizuru, is the daughter of a doctor who works in Edo. The father leaves Edo to work as a volunteer doctor and moves to Kyoto without his daughter. As time passes by, Chizuru starts worrying about losing contact with her father, so she decides to go to Kyoto in search of him. On the way, Chizuru is attacked by few criminals and witnesses a fight between an oni and the Shinsengumi. Taking her into custody and saving her, the Shinsengumi debate on what to do with Chizuru when they discover that she is the daughter of the doctor they are also looking for. So they decide to become Chizuru's protectors and help her look for her father(the doctor). Lots of events happen while she stays with the Shinsengumi, as they discover mysterious secrets and also fight against the Bakumatsu group. The story is overall romantic with a historical and political background.

... consists of Hakuouki Shinsengumi Kitan, Hakuouki Sekkaroku OVA, Hakuouki Hekketsuroku, and movies. This is my also one of my top anime favorites. I cant find the manga of this one but i know that this is adapted from an otome game. I got drools and nosebleeds while watching this anime.... oh and i cried barrels of tears too. it's just too epic. Reverse Harem is really my cup of tea. Hijikata Toshizou is actually one of my fantasies :P Highly recommended!


Harada, Toudou, Saitou, Okita, Hijikata, Kazama



♥ °• Kimi ga Uso o Tsuita ♥ °•

by: Yorita Miyuki

Saki has always hated liars, ever since her father left her family when she was young. Now a student in high school, Saki nearly dies in a car crash, and wakes up to find that she has a new ability...the ability to see when people are lying. Saki comes to realize that there are liars all around her...

... the story if this series is very unique. It's about a girl who sees through anyone's lies so it's a bit of a supernatural-genre series. The only person she cant see lying is her adoptive elder brother she's been living with. It's kinda intriguing and i love the ending too.


Saki and Midori




♥ °• Kimi wa Kirakira ♥ °•

by: Yoshino Aki

Shinobu is a photographer-to-be who seems to have trouble adapting to school. Her male friend, glasses guy, who is the captain of the archery team, is worried about her. Then, she meets a football guy in an interesting way. Watching the guy play, she becomes enthusiastic about taking his picture. (mangahere)

…a hottie japanese football player as the main guy… not bad. Actually he’s really hot! If i were a photographer like Shinobu, the main girl, i’d make him my photography subject too :P






♥ °• Sono me, Kuchi Hodo Ni ♥ °•

by: Nanao Mio

He is, by nature, a quiet man. But when he open his mouth, he always go right to the point. “in brief, would you marry me?” “you really are an idiot!” “I always have to interfer in your life” But why doesn’t it suprised me at all? Because he always was like that so I can’t imagine him differently. Because he uses his eyes instead of his mouth. (mangahere)

… im starting to like Nanao Mio’s works. I first discovered the manga Suiren (by the same manga-ka and already posted review on it) and that’s what brought me here appreciating another one of her awesome works. Im not sure if this is a one shot or is going to continue in a series but it sure has a cute romantic plot. I enjoyed the moe main guy, he’s so hot lol!






♥ °• Suiren ♥ °•

by: Nanao Mio

“When I’m in the water, I’m not sure whether I’m crying or not.” Rio belongs to the swimming club and is an excellent swimmer. She has even been told by the club adviser to help out Yokoyama, a member who can’t swim, because she’s good at teaching others how to swim. She is also a close friend to Jun, another swimming club member. What will happen to these three? (mangahere)

…this is a three-chapter manga. It’s short but it’s so sweet. So cute! It’s somehow a sport-shoujo manga. It’s a story about a girl who is not fond of expressing herself honestly… good thing the guy really likes her and is always the one who shows interest. My review is kinda boring but all i can say is it’s worth a read. Highly Recommended.






♥ °• Vahlia no Hanamuko ♥ °•

by: Akizuki Sorata

Jiru and Vahlia were engaged. But Jiru suddenly went missing! Four years later, Vahlia was betrothed to his younger brother. During the night of the celebration of her second engagement, Vahlia decides to go on a journey… in search of Jiru!

… it’s a one shot but it’s such a cute story i cant help myself but review. I made this review right after i finished reading (like just now…) I also want to acknowledge the mangaka—- Akizuki Sorata, who from now on is one of my favorites. I recommend all of this mangaka’s works, starting from the famous Akagami no Shirayukihime.






♥ °• Faster than a Kiss ♥ °•

by: Tanaka Meca

After losing their parents, Fumino and her brother hop from one relative to another. Getting tired of constantly moving, she finally decides to quit school and work to support her brother on her own. As they sat on a park bench, her teacher appears in front of her and agrees to her demand of marrying and supporting both her and her brother!! Is he serious or just playing around…!?

… i know it’s wrong for a student to have a relationship with a teacher especially when youre in the same school but hey… this is a shoujo manga and it’s not bad fantasizing being in a situation like this especially if the teacher is as hot as Ojiro Kazuma-sensei. Who wouldnt want to be in Kaji Fumino’s shoes… right? (neh? neh? :P ) This is already completed so open your manga websites and start reading this awesome shoujo manga…. like right now! :P






♥ °• M.A.X/ Money Ace X ♥ °•

by: Huh Gook Hwa

A school where the students make their own riches. From Models to Computer Geniuses, These students get rich on their own. Namu goes to a school where all the elite get idolized by the non-elite. Never making it easy to get to school on time, Namu is soon helped by a new transfer student. Who gets categorized as an elite almost immediately?

… it has a very unique plot. I love the girl, she’s one of my ideal main girls. I dont read much of shoujo manhwas but this one is an exception. Love the art, love the story. Love the mangaka’s style. There are bishies too. and this one is already completed. Read it now it’s highly recommended. :) i wonder if there’s a school in real life like the one on this manga/manhwa.







♥ °• Natsu Yasumi Zero Zero Nichime ♥ °•

by: Akizuki Sorata

It’s closing ceremony and romance blossoms amongst the bubbles… (mangahere)

… weeeeae! It’s another work from the one and only Akizuki Sorata. If you dont recognize this manga-ka then i’d like to mention one of this author’s famous work—Akgami no Shirayukihime. I like the manga-ka (my number one in shoujo) and her works. This one is cute. I dont know if this is only a one shot or is going to be a series. If this is going to be serialized then im so gonna be looking forward to this. Cuteness and all!






♥ °• Aoi Kiseki ♥ °•

by: Mitsuko Miko

Wakatsuki Ran is a swimming prodigy. Every girl adores him but the only thing he loves is swimming. Ageha bumps into Ran, one day, and she tells him that he is just an obsessed swimmer. But when he shows her how good he is, she gapes at him and asks, “Please teach me how to swim!” Ran finally agrees and the swimming romance begins. (mangafox)

…this is one of the best. Short. Straightforward. No more drags. No more unnecessary drama. Both main characters are adorable. And you’ll surely love the twist! It’s completed and it’s Highly Recommended.






♥ °• Rockin' Heaven ♥ °•

by: Sakai Mayu

Sawa applies to Heaven’s Wing Academy, thinking she would look cute in the uniform. But she never expected the academy to be a previously all-boys’ school! And the head honcho of the school, the class president himself—Ran—doesn’t seem to like her one bit and takes no pains to hide it. At first, adjusting to life at the academy is tough. Sawa is bullied and teased, and the boys in the class even throw her new shoes in the water. While attempting to retrieve her shoes, she falls into the water and is unexpectedly saved by Ran, who up until this point has made her life hell. The newfound gentleness in Ran intrigues her—and she finds herself falling for him. What will her days be like for the rest of her school life? (Entropy/manga fox)

... now i have another favorite shoujo manga. Rockin’ Heaven totally rocks! I was hesitant about reading this at first having thoughts that i might not like the main girl but i was totally wrong! Konishi Sawa is one strong, very likable character. There was a point where i was annoyed with the main guy, Matsuyuki Ran who went all emo and all but i just cant hate him for long… he’s too damn hot! All other characters are so cool as well. I totally love the love story between Sawa’s parents…. Rockin’ Heaven is already completed and the ending is just very cute. Cheers to the mangaka. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.






♥ °• Taiyou no Uta ♥ °•

by: Bandou Kenji

Sixteen-year old Kaoru, who cannot be exposed to sunlight due to her sickness, spends the days sleeping or watching a boy outside her window. During the nights though, she goes out and sings with her guitar in hand. What she dreams of is a love that can’t come true since their times never overlapce, or so she thought… (mangahere)

… the only thing that i can say about this tragic and pure love story is that, i got manly tears~~~ im a girl but i got manly tears~~~ Read and you’ll know it! RECOMMENDED.







♥ °• Dear Tear ♥ °•

by: Kazuma Kowo

Kiritani is a grade one girl. Narita is a boy who doesn’t know how to deal with girls. Kiritani’s admired senpai, good friend and classmate sitting next to her are all rejected by Narita when they express their love to him. To get a reasonable explanation from him, Kiritani decides to go home together with him after school everyday. What will happen between Kiritani and Narita? This is a story about love and tears. Don’t miss it! (mangahere) .

...what an interesting manga. it’s cute so far! She was curious why he easily rejected her friend’s confession and decides to stalk him to know why. He was annoyed at first but when he saw her crying, he was touched by her tears. Cute, right?! As far as my shuojo manga ventures is concerned , this is one of the not-so-common plots. I like it. It’s recommended.







♥ °• Chiguhagu Planet ♥ °•

by: Meguro Amu

Since her parents are a little bit slow, Matsuda Erika (or Eri for short) has taught herself to be independent and extremely reliable. Moreover, she devotes herself to taking care of those around her—even if some of her classmates find her behaviour overbearing and annoying. One day, a strange new transfer student is introduced to her class. This boy speaks in choppy sentences, has little to no facial expressions, and goes by the name Nogina Kaname. Instantly, Eri feels compelled to take care of this martian-like new boy in her class.(Day of the river scans)

…this is so cute! Totally cute! Ahhh such pure and innocent love. i love it! I have a feeling that eri will be caught between the twins, Kaname and Hiromu. Im excited to know what’s gonna happen. Love the art too. Try reading this and see for yourself :)))






♥ °• Hana to Akuma ♥ °•

by: Oto Hisamu

17-years-ago Vivi, the demon, decided to leave the demon realm and come to the human world. There he found an abandoned baby and on a whim decided to keep it. Since then he lived together with Hana…but having a 14 year-old girl around you, is it really as simple as you think it might be?

… what can i say? This is a better story than twilight i guess (sorry twilight fans), you’ll know it when you read it :) a true love story between a human girl and a demon guy… he loved her til her very last breath. She remained human (and she aged y’know) and Vivi-sama remained in her side during her lifetime. that’s true love! no transformations needed from a human to whatsoever it is! :)))
