AyeLoveShoujo's Recommended Ongoing Series
Shoujo Manga Overload
I love reading shoujo manga but i cant name them all here so... this is only going to be a list of the series worth reading and are highly recommended by me, of course :P
Have fun reviewing...
(●̪•) Akagami no Shirayukihime (●̪•)
by: Akizuki Sorata
Shirayuki was a young girl born with unique apple-red hair. She meets a famous but foolish Prince Raji, who falls in love with her at first sight and orders her to become his concubine. With nowhere else to go, Shirayuki cuts her hair and escapes to a neighboring country. While traversing through the forests, she meets a young man, Zen, who helps her after she boldly cures his wounds, but then gets poisoned by an apple meant for Shirayuki. Meanwhile, Prince Raji sends out henchmen to search for her. What will happen to Shirayuki? What is Zen’s true character? A refreshing fantasy love story between an optimistic heroine and a prince who constantly stays on her watch.
… first of all i would like to announce that THIS is now my number one shoujo manga. This manga is like a breathe of fresh air from almost all of the stereotypical and cliched ones that ive read so far. No whiny, crybaby, clumsy, cutesy main girl… just a headstrong, confident, and determined one. No delinquent, sadist, and overly emo-with-a-dark-past main guy… just a sweet, straightforward (with his feelings) Prince! No rival or love triangle…. yet. And lastly, the plot and storyline is light, straightforward, fast-pacing, and too damn cute! You’ll gonna love Shirayuki, Prince Zen, and the other characters. For the lack of better word to describe this manga…. i say that this is PERFECT!
(●̪•) 1/2 Prince (●̪•)
by: Yu Wo
Prince and Gui
It is the year 2100 A.D. and humans have invented a virtual reality game called “Second Life”. Feng Lan, due to a bet with her brother, vows to beat him in the game without using her feminine charm to attract others to help her. Thus, she becomes the first transgendered character in “Second Life” - in other words, she is the only person who has a gender in-game opposite from hers in real life. As her popularity rises due to her looks and bloodthirsty skills, can she keep her identity a secret from her loved ones and friends?
… i love reading shoujo manga with a mixture of adventure and comedy. Since i also love playing online games, this made 1/2 Prince very interesting to me. How i wish that there is a virtual game like “second life” in reality. Im not actually fond of genderbender stories but this is an exception. I can even read this again and again without getting tired of it… and i’m lovin’ the bishies ♥
(●̪•) Ao Haru Ride (●̪•)
by: Sakisaka Io
Yoshioka Futaba has a few reasons why she wants to "reset" her image and life as a new high-school student. Because she's cute, she was ostracized by her female friends in junior high, and because of a misunderstanding, she couldn't get her feeling across to the one boy she has always liked, Tanaka-kun. Now in high school, she is determined to be as unladylike as possible so that her friends won't be jealous of her. While living her life this way contentedly, she meets Tanaka-kun again, but he now goes under the name of Mabuchi Kou. He tells her that he felt the same way as she did when they were younger, but now things could never be the same again. Will Futaba be able to continue her love that hadn't even started from three years ago?
... the latest work of Sakisaka Io (as far as i know) and for those who dont know this great mangaka and her famous works... well, this is just one of the best. I like Futaba more than Ninako of Strobe Edge. Ren of Strobe Edge and Kou are kinda similar though...you know... being perfect and all that :P
Futaba and Kou
(●̪•) Black Bird (●̪•)
by: Sakurakuoji Kanoko
There is a world of myth and magic that intersects ours, and only a special few can see it. Misao Harada is one such person, and she wants nothing to do with magical realms. She just wants to have a normal high school life and maybe get a boyfriend. But she is the bride of demon prophecy, and her blood grants incredible powers, her flesh immortality. Now the demon realm is fighting over the right to her hand...or her life!
... i love it when shoujo manga feature yokais... not to mention sexy yokais like Kyo. I cant even count how many times i squealed while reading this because of Kyo's smexy-ness. The love scene (at chapter 32.... not sure) was so intense that i have to read it like 2 to 3 times and still cant move one! LOL. So to top it all, this is really one of the best! ... please just dont mind the annoying main girl character.
Misao and Kyo
(●̪•) Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji (●̪•)
by: Hatta Ayuko
Erika lied to her friends about having a boyfriend by showing a picture of an anonymous guy who turned out to be a a schoolmate of hers and was shortly recognized by her friends. Their conversations then was overheard by the guy, Sata Kyouya. Erika went to explain and proposed her idea of faking as lovers. However, Sata who gave off the nice-charming feelings guy turns out to be a black prince and used her reasons to blackmail her instead.
... i so love the couple in this manga. They're my current favorite couple actually. They both have strong personalities and i cant even feel a single twinge of annoyance with the main girl character. i totally love her and so is the hottie main guy too. I think i also have a thing for sadist guys like Sata Kyouya lol. The playful-sadist ones :P
Erika and Kyouya
(●̪•) Love so Life (●̪•)
by: Kouichi Kaede
Shiharu and Seiji and the twins
Shiharu is a high school student who loves kids, lives in an orphanage, and works at a daycare… Until the handsome uncle of two-year-old twins offers her a raise if she’ll be their babysitter.
...Definitely ranking a 5 out of 5. The story is so cute. although the romance is slow pacing, the fluffiness, cuteness, and sweetness between Nakamura Shiharu and Matsunaga Seiji are present in every chapter. Gotta love Seiji. ♥ ♥ ♥ If i were to become a mangaka, i will create a character like him.
(●̪•) Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun (●̪•)
by: Robiko
Ever since he was involved in a fight on the first day of school, Yoshida-san, who sits in the seat next to me, hasn't come to school even once. I only cared about my grades and my future, but, by chance, he befriends me so that I can bring him his homework. I became kinder to him when I learned of his innocence, but will he now confess to me as well...?!
... just a warning...you dont wanna miss this manga. It's so cool that it grows on you lol. The main characters are not the cliche'd, stereotypical ones. This is also my first time that im rooting for the other guy rather than the main guy. It's not that i dont like the main guy, i mean Haru's also great but i just Like Yamaken a lot more than him. It's not a crime anyway teehee....
Shizuku and Haru
(●̪•) Yumemiru Taiyou (●̪•)
by: Takano Ichigo
While loitering in the park, Shimana Kameko, who intended to run away from home and skipped school, meets a suspicious man in a kimono. This man, who had been locked out of his house, offers Shimana a place to stay. However, he requests she fulfill three conditions in exchange for her tenancy!?
... aside from Seiji of Love so Life... Fujiwara Taiga is also one of the characters i want to create if i will become a mangaka. Let's just say that they are my dream shoujo manga guys... mature. hot. irresistible. Geez, cant even define them properly lol. I mean just look at Taiga.... can you not drool over that guy? hahah! Shimana Kameko so lucky!
(●̪•) Kamisama Hajimemashita (●̪•)
by: Suzuki Julietta
Momozono Nanami’s dad, a man with a penchant for gambling, disappeared after accumulating a huge amount of debt. Thus, she was chased out of her house by the debt collectors. When she met a timid man being chased by a dog, he told her that he’d give her his house. She believed his persuasive talk, but when she went to his house… it turned out to be a shrine. Moreover, a guy with fox ears appeared, which made Nanami even more confused. What will become of homeless and confused Nanami?
... another yokai-related shoujo manga and this time is a fox demon. I just wish that the real yokais in japan are as hot and as sexy as these yokais in the manga. im just kidding though. ( talk about Nura Rikuo :P )
(●̪•) Suki tte ii na yo (●̪•)
by: Hazuki Kanae
Mei Tachibana has spent her 16 years without making either a boyfriend or friends. One day, she injures the most popular boy in school, Yamato Kurosawa, because of a misunderstanding but for some reason it seems that he takes a liking to her and one-sidedly claims that they’re friends. Furthermore, he not only protects Mei from a stalker, he does it with a kiss…?!!
... do you like smutty and mature shoujo manga? Then Sukitte ii Na Yo is one of the best. I love the art...really. It has it's own style and you can easily tell the art apart from other shoujo manga.... This is like a mature version of Kimi no Todoke.... curious? then read it! Highly Recommended and youre not gonna regret it. :P
(●̪•) Orange (●̪•)
(●̪•) Taiyou ne Ie (●̪•)
by: Taamo
When she was young, Mao stayed a while (no she doesn’t; she only goes there to play because otherwise she’d be home alone all the time) at Hiro’s house. When she was there, she felt so good. but few years later, she lost her father’s house (no she didn’t, they moved out of the old house) and since her parents has disappeared (her parents didn’t disappear, her dad is still there), she has to live in hiro’s house again (she doesn’t *have* to, he invited her, twice)…?! is that the beginning of their love story…?
… it’s pretty common for a shoujo manga with a setting like this—- cute student and hottie salary man living together…. but it’s such a cute story you cant miss! There are situations that are kinda predictable but the adorable characters plus Mao and Hiro’s cute moments and Taamo’s great art makes you want to continue reading. :3
(●̪•) Honey Bitter (●̪•)
by: Obana Miho
Because of the extraordinary power she has, Shuri Otokawa was always living in the dark full of fear and distress. Eventually, she decided to become more optimistic about her life when she started a new job at her aunt’s detective agency, “Office S”. However, at such a crucial time in her life, the one who appears in front of Shuri is..?! (mangahere)
…i love the mysteries they’re uncovering but i love the love triangle between Shuri, Riki, and Yohta most especially. I also love the mystery that surrounds the hot Nijihara Riki. Im rooting for him to be with Shuri rather than with playful and cool Kubo Yohta. It’s still ongoing and it’s highly recommended.[i/]
(●̪•) Obaka-chan, Koigatariki (●̪•)
(●̪•) Reimei no Arcana (●̪•)
by: Toma Rei
“On that day, I became the enemy’s possesion,” Nakaba thought as she stood there, knowing her destiny was to be married for convenience to keep the peace between her country Senan and Prince Caesar’s country, Belquat; two neighbor countries on a island. Between the two countries there has been a constant war for 200 years and Nakaba has become a sacrificial goat for her country despite the discrimination to her red hair and to the ‘sub-person’ (half-human, half-animal) Loki, who is her only friend and attendant at Caesar’s estranged palace. But what will Nakaba do when she foresees an event pertaining to Prince Caesar’s demise? Will she save him? Or let him die in return to all the hate directed towards her by the people of Belquat?
… although the ending was already spoiled to me… im still going to continue reading this awesome shoujo manga. I dont want to spoil anything in here anyway lol. I love Toma Rei’s art too. Although Loki’s also cute, i still go for prince Caesar all the way…… and Nakaba’s red hair reminds me of Shirayuki (Akagami no Shirayukihime but they have totally opposite lucks). The story is kinda like Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen too, (i dont know which manga came first) but Reimei no Arcana has a dark theme compared to Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen’s romcom.

Ren and Kyoko
(●̪•) Shinobi Life (●̪•)
by: Konami Shouko
Beni and Kagetora

Unfortunately, they were attacked and Kagetora was flung into a lake, and sank to the bottom… And is somehow warped to the future where he sees the princess Beni being kidnapped. Little does Kagetora know that Beni is not the real princess, but rather her descendant. Beni, on the other hand, thought that Kagetora was just a cosplayer. Beni, the daughter of a rich man has already been kidnapped a hundred times already… But fear not because Kagetora is here. Will Kagetora be able to go back to the past, or will he remain by Beni’s side forever?
...I sense tragic ending but then I still hope for a happy one. I just really hope that it’s a happy ending. Kagetora an Beni are really meant for each other. Their love crossed dimensions, space, and time. (im looking for my ninja too :P)
(●̪•) Junjou Drop (●̪•)

Recently rejected Saki Momota is having a hard time getting over her first love. While picking up her younger brother from school, Saki bumps into Akai Ryuuichi; the class delinquent whos rumored to be able to shoot lazer-beams from his eyes. Could this day get any worse?
... totally love it. it's cute and it's funny. The main characters are easy to like.
(●̪•) She is Mine (●̪•)
by: Mimori Ao
The story’s about the blond-haired Haru and the dark-haired Ryotaro who are the best of friends. A girl suddenly steps into their life and caught their attention, and thus romance blossoms! The thing is that she is experienced in the field of love, but on the other hand, they have zero love experience?!
… stumbled upon this manga last night and totally liked it right away. It still has 5 chapters though but i will be looking forward for the updates from now on. It’s a story about a love triangle between two guys and a girl but in both guys’ point of view. Cool right? It’s not everyday that we can read a shoujo manga with a guy’s point of view. Gonna add this to the list of my recommended ones.
(●̪•) Chocolate Girl (●̪•)
(●̪•) Bride of the Water God (●̪•)
by: Yoon Mi-kyung

For Soah, this is a story of her faith … her life … her love… (mangahere)
…omg! After only reading chapter one, i was already hooked up this breathtaking manhwa. The art is superb all i can say is Wow! Im intrigued with the plot too—- a girl offered as a bride to the god, got spirited away, and then meeting like one of the hottest gods in all of the manga ive read so far. Im loving this manhwa and i think this is one of the best korean shoujo manga out there. Highly Recommended. (and this reminds me of those mmorpg games im playing like Blade and Soul)

…this is one of the cutest shoujo manga ive read plot-wise and art-wise too :) I just hope the scanlators would update regularly. The characters are adorable. I dopnt even hate the main girl :P And find out why is this titled 360 Degrees Material…..Dont neglect this manga, you wont regret it lol. :)
(●̪•) Switch Girl (●̪•)
by: Aida Natsumi
TAMIYA Nika is a beautiful, outgoing, popular high school girl. She has just the right look, just the right fashions, and is everyone’s friend. What everyone at school does not know is how hard Nika works to keep up this perfect image, and what she is REALLY like at home. When not at school, Nika is a scary, sloppy, tight-fisted girl who wears glasses, an ugly sweatsuit, and has her hair pulled back into unattractive buns. She lays around playing video games and reading manga. Her attitude is bossy and cranky, and she travels far out of her way to shop where she won’t be recognized. Every day, Nika “Switches On” with a strict regimen of beautification that involves primping and plucking and careful dressing.(mangafox)
… this is one of the funniest shoujo manga ive read and i can even relate to Nika’s On-Off personality. I believe every girl can relate to her. She’s very hilarious and very beautiful too. Oh dont worry, she’s not the klutzy-and-cutesy-iwantLOVEinhighschoolschool type of girl. With Arata around, this is one true example of a romantic comedy manga. Highly Recommended! … and you’ll gotta love the Live action and the actress playing Nika—— Nishiuchi Mariya :)
(●̪•) Hakushaku to Yousei/ Earl and Fairy (●̪•)
by: Tani Mizue
The story is set in Victorian England. It follows the adventures of 17-year old Lydia Carlton, who is nicknamed the “Fairy Doctor” due to her interest in fairies. Her life takes a 180-degrees turn when she meets Edgar J.C Ashenbert, the “Legendary Blue Knight Count” and his crew on a sea voyage to London. Edgar hires her as an adviser during his quest to obtain a treasured sword that was supposed to be handed down to him by his family. (mangahere)
…i love everything about this shoujo manga-turned-anime series. The art, the story, the bishies…. especially Edgar and Raven. The manga only covers 8 chapters up to now but the anime is already completed and it’s as good as the manga. Even though the girl, Lydia is such a klutz… it’s considerable especially when youre in front of this irresistible Earl. Teehee*
(●̪•) Kimi to Koi no Tochuu (●̪•)
by: Aikawa Saki
Just when I thought it’d start with you, you disappeared; I would’ve never thought this… Yuna has lost trust in love after her first boyfriend Takumi broke up with her. Shiina-kun from her class has already confessed to her twice and now finally she approached onto love another time. But Takumi appears in front of her!! What will the swaying Yuna do!? (mangahere)
… i cant choose between the ex and the current boyfriend. They are both great guys, hotties, and they both deserve Yuna’s love. I dont wanna be in her shoes because she needs to choose and it’s very hard lol. If you are to read this shoujo manga you can immediately guess who she’ll end up with… the other guy can come to me lol.
(●̪•) Akuma to Love Song (●̪•)
by: Tomori Miyoshi
Touzuka High School is a public school with a very low grade point average. One day, a girl, who had been expelled from the state’s top school, St. Katria Girls’ School, transfers in…Her name is Kawaii Maria. The official reason of her expulsion was due to “violence against the teacher.” Because of straightforward comments, Maria starts to become isolated from her class…What is hidden in her past and what will happen to her?
… Kawai Maria is an anti-heroine for me and i like her. She’s gutsy, has a strong character, very straightforward, and not to mention very beautiful. She’s harsh when she talks but it’s just her nature and she has a cute side too. Put the other characters aside…. the main girl herself is a very likable character. Oh and dont forget her harem of bishies too. Beautiful lucky girl!
(●̪•) Ookamidomo no Shitsukekata (●̪•)
by: Shiraishi Yuki
Origawa Industry Public High School is a school filled with rough men. There’s only one girl in this high school packed with wolves. But this little sheep isn’t an ordinary person!
… i love girls who are strong not just physically but emotionally too… and here i thought Nozomi, the main girl is going to be bullied. But it appears that the guys in this school are all scared of her. She’s so cool! Soga Keiji, the main guy is much much cooler. He even looks like Yakumo Saitou in my eyes lol. Highly Recommended manga :)
(●̪•) Inu X Bouko SS / Youko X Bouko SS (●̪•)
by: Fujiwara Cocoa
The Shirakiin house’s daughter, Shirakiin Riricho, who has a complex about being unable to live independently and unprotected, feels the need to move out and live on her own under the condition of residing in the mansion named “Ayakashi Kan.” In this mansion, only those who have cleared a very strict examination could reside in it, and for each resident, they are accompanied with one agent of the Secret Service (S.S.). Although Riricho has rejected the company of the S.S., while residing in the mansion she finds out that the agent dedicated to protecting her is actually the Fox Spirit whom she previously rescued.
… lolicons, lolies, and lolitas aside (which are not of my liking), i still like this manga because of one true good reason—- Miketsukami Soushi. I mean, c’mon…. who wouldnt want a nine-tailed fox bishie to be your butler a.k.a lover willing to be by your side forever and die for you? lol. The other characters are very much likeable as well. Both manga and anime are very good so it’s highly recommended :)
(●̪•) Hibi Chouchou (●̪•)
by: Morishita Suu
Upon entering high school, the very quiet but extremely cute Suiren becomes the immediate center of attention among the boys…but one particular boy does not look her way.The story of a quiet girl and a quiet boy. A short, refreshing love story.
… this is inded a story of a quiet girl and a quiet boy both having good looks. This is so cute! Im hoping that the scanlators update regularly. This has so much potential and it’s rare for a shoujo manga to have a love story between two people with the same personalities. This is going to be a quiet love story. Lol.
(●̪•) Kokoro Botan (●̪•)
by: Usami Maki
During the high school entrance ceremony, Koga Eito from the special class helps Kasuga Niina from her poor health. His gentle manner captivates Niina, making her confess her feeling towards him. Thus, the trials in love of this couple begin. As time passes, Niina finds it difficult to continue loving him since there are instances when he seems to be playing with her feelings. For her, going out with Koga may bring a grim future to her. (Midnight Scans) .
...I love it! The trial dating and all! I had so much fun reading this manga. It has a very playful plot. I loooove the main guy, Koga Eito’s sadistic, mysterious, yet playful personality. You’ll gonna love him i swear! I like the main girl, Kasuga Nina too even though she’s the typical klutz and crybaby character. Her determination and not giving up on Koga’s mischiefs and sadistic-playful acts makes her a very likable character. She is indeed Koga’s perfect match! Such a cute couple. This manga is totally recommended.
(●̪•) Kinkyori Ren'ai (●̪•)
by: Mikimoro Rin
Uni is a prodigy with a cool reserve who is accomplished in everything except for English. One day, she insults her temporary English teacher and he overhears her. He asks her to come to his office after school and, somehow, she starts receiving private tutoring from him?! From Manga Abyss Uni Kururugi is a straight faced high school girl who always wears a kitty hair clip to make something about her cute. Her teacher, Haruka Sakurai is a ladies man that all the female students want. But he is interested in Uni… (Osuwari Team scans)
… this is cute! It made me laugh. and as what Haruka-sensei said, Tsunderes really are the best. This is a story about a tsundere/genius student and a cool/handsome temporary teacher who promised each other to keep their relationship secret until the right times comes. Their little love adventure is cute!
(●̪•) Pika Ichi (●̪•)
by: Maki Youko
“Pika Ichi” is the story of two painfully shy teens who love yakuza movies. An incident at school pushes them over the edge, and they decide to drop their mousiness in order to dispense some “justice.” (mangahere)
… i love this manga! It’s a good read! And i love the characters more! Two nerd students who loves watching gangster movies suddenly transforms into a spunky girl and a Oh-so-hot-oh-so-cool guy. I totally love Tarou. He will make the fan girl in you squeal!
(●̪•) Crayon Days (●̪•)
by: Chiba Kozue
Because she loved drawing and wanted to do something special, she went to a famous art school. And there she met… (mangahere)
…and then she met art genius Saji Akatsuki. The first time i saw this anime, i already figured out that this is one of Chiba Kozue’s because of the art. I like her art anyway. The story is quite fun and interesting ill be looking forward for more chapters. I also like the main girl because she’s full of dreams and not some other crap main girl who just wants to have a boyfriend when reaching H.S. She reminds me of the heroine in Chiba’s other manga—-Hitoribocchi wa Samishikute
(●̪•) Kimi ja Nakya Dame Nanda (●̪•)
by: Tajima Mimi
Nanoka’s grandfather, right before dying, tells her that she’s not alone — she has a brother. But when Nanoka arrives at the address her grandfather gave her, she finds out that there are two brothers there! They aren’t related by blood, and Nanoka has no idea which one is her brother. Is it Aoi or Kou? (Shinnen) .
... why do i have this feeling that neither of the two guys is her real brother… i just cant accept it that Aoi is really Nanoka’s brother cos i ship the two of them! Kou should just better be off with Shion. Oh by the way, Kou’s hairstyle looks like Kurosawa Yamato’s (Say I Love You) and Yuugure Touga’s (Nagareboshi Lens) hairstyles. … and Nanoka is sooo cute :3 This is very recommended. The art and the story are both great.
I love reading shoujo manga but i cant name them all here so... this is only going to be a list of the series worth reading and are highly recommended by me, of course :P
Have fun reviewing...
(●̪•) Akagami no Shirayukihime (●̪•)
by: Akizuki Sorata
Shirayuki was a young girl born with unique apple-red hair. She meets a famous but foolish Prince Raji, who falls in love with her at first sight and orders her to become his concubine. With nowhere else to go, Shirayuki cuts her hair and escapes to a neighboring country. While traversing through the forests, she meets a young man, Zen, who helps her after she boldly cures his wounds, but then gets poisoned by an apple meant for Shirayuki. Meanwhile, Prince Raji sends out henchmen to search for her. What will happen to Shirayuki? What is Zen’s true character? A refreshing fantasy love story between an optimistic heroine and a prince who constantly stays on her watch.
… first of all i would like to announce that THIS is now my number one shoujo manga. This manga is like a breathe of fresh air from almost all of the stereotypical and cliched ones that ive read so far. No whiny, crybaby, clumsy, cutesy main girl… just a headstrong, confident, and determined one. No delinquent, sadist, and overly emo-with-a-dark-past main guy… just a sweet, straightforward (with his feelings) Prince! No rival or love triangle…. yet. And lastly, the plot and storyline is light, straightforward, fast-pacing, and too damn cute! You’ll gonna love Shirayuki, Prince Zen, and the other characters. For the lack of better word to describe this manga…. i say that this is PERFECT!

(●̪•) Ao Haru Ride (●̪•)
by: Sakisaka Io
Yoshioka Futaba has a few reasons why she wants to "reset" her image and life as a new high-school student. Because she's cute, she was ostracized by her female friends in junior high, and because of a misunderstanding, she couldn't get her feeling across to the one boy she has always liked, Tanaka-kun. Now in high school, she is determined to be as unladylike as possible so that her friends won't be jealous of her. While living her life this way contentedly, she meets Tanaka-kun again, but he now goes under the name of Mabuchi Kou. He tells her that he felt the same way as she did when they were younger, but now things could never be the same again. Will Futaba be able to continue her love that hadn't even started from three years ago?
... the latest work of Sakisaka Io (as far as i know) and for those who dont know this great mangaka and her famous works... well, this is just one of the best. I like Futaba more than Ninako of Strobe Edge. Ren of Strobe Edge and Kou are kinda similar though...you know... being perfect and all that :P

She just wants to have a normal high school life and maybe get a boyfriend. But she is the bride of demon prophecy, and her blood grants incredible powers, her flesh immortality.

... i love it when shoujo manga feature yokais... not to mention sexy yokais like Kyo. I cant even count how many times i squealed while reading this because of Kyo's smexy-ness. The love scene (at chapter 32.... not sure) was so intense that i have to read it like 2 to 3 times and still cant move one! LOL. So to top it all, this is really one of the best! ... please just dont mind the annoying main girl character.

Their conversations then was overheard by the guy, Sata Kyouya. Erika went to explain and proposed her idea of faking as lovers. However, Sata who gave off the nice-charming feelings guy turns out to be a black prince and used her reasons to blackmail her instead.
... i so love the couple in this manga. They're my current favorite couple actually. They both have strong personalities and i cant even feel a single twinge of annoyance with the main girl character. i totally love her and so is the hottie main guy too. I think i also have a thing for sadist guys like Sata Kyouya lol. The playful-sadist ones :P

Shiharu and Seiji and the twins
Shiharu is a high school student who loves kids, lives in an orphanage, and works at a daycare… Until the handsome uncle of two-year-old twins offers her a raise if she’ll be their babysitter.
...Definitely ranking a 5 out of 5. The story is so cute. although the romance is slow pacing, the fluffiness, cuteness, and sweetness between Nakamura Shiharu and Matsunaga Seiji are present in every chapter. Gotta love Seiji. ♥ ♥ ♥ If i were to become a mangaka, i will create a character like him.

Ever since he was involved in a fight on the first day of school, Yoshida-san, who sits in the seat next to me, hasn't come to school even once. I only cared about my grades and my future, but, by chance, he befriends me so that I can bring him his homework. I became kinder to him when I learned of his innocence, but will he now confess to me as well...?!
... just a warning...you dont wanna miss this manga. It's so cool that it grows on you lol. The main characters are not the cliche'd, stereotypical ones. This is also my first time that im rooting for the other guy rather than the main guy. It's not that i dont like the main guy, i mean Haru's also great but i just Like Yamaken a lot more than him. It's not a crime anyway teehee....

... aside from Seiji of Love so Life... Fujiwara Taiga is also one of the characters i want to create if i will become a mangaka. Let's just say that they are my dream shoujo manga guys... mature. hot. irresistible. Geez, cant even define them properly lol. I mean just look at Taiga.... can you not drool over that guy? hahah! Shimana Kameko so lucky!

Moreover, a guy with fox ears appeared, which made Nanami even more confused. What will become of homeless and confused Nanami?
... another yokai-related shoujo manga and this time is a fox demon. I just wish that the real yokais in japan are as hot and as sexy as these yokais in the manga. im just kidding though. ( talk about Nura Rikuo :P )

When she was young, Mao stayed a while (no she doesn’t; she only goes there to play because otherwise she’d be home alone all the time) at Hiro’s house. When she was there, she felt so good. but few years later, she lost her father’s house (no she didn’t, they moved out of the old house) and since her parents has disappeared (her parents didn’t disappear, her dad is still there), she has to live in hiro’s house again (she doesn’t *have* to, he invited her, twice)…?! is that the beginning of their love story…?
… it’s pretty common for a shoujo manga with a setting like this—- cute student and hottie salary man living together…. but it’s such a cute story you cant miss! There are situations that are kinda predictable but the adorable characters plus Mao and Hiro’s cute moments and Taamo’s great art makes you want to continue reading. :3

Because of the extraordinary power she has, Shuri Otokawa was always living in the dark full of fear and distress. Eventually, she decided to become more optimistic about her life when she started a new job at her aunt’s detective agency, “Office S”. However, at such a crucial time in her life, the one who appears in front of Shuri is..?! (mangahere)
…i love the mysteries they’re uncovering but i love the love triangle between Shuri, Riki, and Yohta most especially. I also love the mystery that surrounds the hot Nijihara Riki. Im rooting for him to be with Shuri rather than with playful and cool Kubo Yohta. It’s still ongoing and it’s highly recommended.[i/]

by: Toma Rei
“On that day, I became the enemy’s possesion,” Nakaba thought as she stood there, knowing her destiny was to be married for convenience to keep the peace between her country Senan and Prince Caesar’s country, Belquat; two neighbor countries on a island. Between the two countries there has been a constant war for 200 years and Nakaba has become a sacrificial goat for her country despite the discrimination to her red hair and to the ‘sub-person’ (half-human, half-animal) Loki, who is her only friend and attendant at Caesar’s estranged palace. But what will Nakaba do when she foresees an event pertaining to Prince Caesar’s demise? Will she save him? Or let him die in return to all the hate directed towards her by the people of Belquat?
… although the ending was already spoiled to me… im still going to continue reading this awesome shoujo manga. I dont want to spoil anything in here anyway lol. I love Toma Rei’s art too. Although Loki’s also cute, i still go for prince Caesar all the way…… and Nakaba’s red hair reminds me of Shirayuki (Akagami no Shirayukihime but they have totally opposite lucks). The story is kinda like Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen too, (i dont know which manga came first) but Reimei no Arcana has a dark theme compared to Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen’s romcom.

Many, many years ago, a ninja named Kagetora devoted his life to protecting Princess Beni (”Beni-Hime”). Unfortunately, they were attacked and Kagetora was flung into a lake, and sank to the bottom… And is somehow warped to the future where he sees the princess Beni being kidnapped.

Beni, the daughter of a rich man has already been kidnapped a hundred times already… But fear not because Kagetora is here. Will Kagetora be able to go back to the past, or will he remain by Beni’s side forever?
...I sense tragic ending but then I still hope for a happy one. I just really hope that it’s a happy ending. Kagetora an Beni are really meant for each other. Their love crossed dimensions, space, and time. (im looking for my ninja too :P)

The story’s about the blond-haired Haru and the dark-haired Ryotaro who are the best of friends. A girl suddenly steps into their life and caught their attention, and thus romance blossoms! The thing is that she is experienced in the field of love, but on the other hand, they have zero love experience?!
… stumbled upon this manga last night and totally liked it right away. It still has 5 chapters though but i will be looking forward for the updates from now on. It’s a story about a love triangle between two guys and a girl but in both guys’ point of view. Cool right? It’s not everyday that we can read a shoujo manga with a guy’s point of view. Gonna add this to the list of my recommended ones.

…omg! After only reading chapter one, i was already hooked up this breathtaking manhwa. The art is superb all i can say is Wow! Im intrigued with the plot too—- a girl offered as a bride to the god, got spirited away, and then meeting like one of the hottest gods in all of the manga ive read so far. Im loving this manhwa and i think this is one of the best korean shoujo manga out there. Highly Recommended. (and this reminds me of those mmorpg games im playing like Blade and Soul)

(●̪•) Switch Girl (●̪•)
by: Aida Natsumi
TAMIYA Nika is a beautiful, outgoing, popular high school girl. She has just the right look, just the right fashions, and is everyone’s friend. What everyone at school does not know is how hard Nika works to keep up this perfect image, and what she is REALLY like at home. When not at school, Nika is a scary, sloppy, tight-fisted girl who wears glasses, an ugly sweatsuit, and has her hair pulled back into unattractive buns. She lays around playing video games and reading manga. Her attitude is bossy and cranky, and she travels far out of her way to shop where she won’t be recognized. Every day, Nika “Switches On” with a strict regimen of beautification that involves primping and plucking and careful dressing.(mangafox)
… this is one of the funniest shoujo manga ive read and i can even relate to Nika’s On-Off personality. I believe every girl can relate to her. She’s very hilarious and very beautiful too. Oh dont worry, she’s not the klutzy-and-cutesy-iwantLOVEinhighschoolschool type of girl. With Arata around, this is one true example of a romantic comedy manga. Highly Recommended! … and you’ll gotta love the Live action and the actress playing Nika—— Nishiuchi Mariya :)

by: Tani Mizue
The story is set in Victorian England. It follows the adventures of 17-year old Lydia Carlton, who is nicknamed the “Fairy Doctor” due to her interest in fairies. Her life takes a 180-degrees turn when she meets Edgar J.C Ashenbert, the “Legendary Blue Knight Count” and his crew on a sea voyage to London. Edgar hires her as an adviser during his quest to obtain a treasured sword that was supposed to be handed down to him by his family. (mangahere)
…i love everything about this shoujo manga-turned-anime series. The art, the story, the bishies…. especially Edgar and Raven. The manga only covers 8 chapters up to now but the anime is already completed and it’s as good as the manga. Even though the girl, Lydia is such a klutz… it’s considerable especially when youre in front of this irresistible Earl. Teehee*

Shiina-kun from her class has already confessed to her twice and now finally she approached onto love another time. But Takumi appears in front of her!! What will the swaying Yuna do!? (mangahere)
… i cant choose between the ex and the current boyfriend. They are both great guys, hotties, and they both deserve Yuna’s love. I dont wanna be in her shoes because she needs to choose and it’s very hard lol. If you are to read this shoujo manga you can immediately guess who she’ll end up with… the other guy can come to me lol.

Touzuka High School is a public school with a very low grade point average. One day, a girl, who had been expelled from the state’s top school, St. Katria Girls’ School, transfers in…Her name is Kawaii Maria. The official reason of her expulsion was due to “violence against the teacher.” Because of straightforward comments, Maria starts to become isolated from her class…What is hidden in her past and what will happen to her?
… Kawai Maria is an anti-heroine for me and i like her. She’s gutsy, has a strong character, very straightforward, and not to mention very beautiful. She’s harsh when she talks but it’s just her nature and she has a cute side too. Put the other characters aside…. the main girl herself is a very likable character. Oh and dont forget her harem of bishies too. Beautiful lucky girl!

Origawa Industry Public High School is a school filled with rough men. There’s only one girl in this high school packed with wolves. But this little sheep isn’t an ordinary person!
… i love girls who are strong not just physically but emotionally too… and here i thought Nozomi, the main girl is going to be bullied. But it appears that the guys in this school are all scared of her. She’s so cool! Soga Keiji, the main guy is much much cooler. He even looks like Yakumo Saitou in my eyes lol. Highly Recommended manga :)

by: Fujiwara Cocoa
The Shirakiin house’s daughter, Shirakiin Riricho, who has a complex about being unable to live independently and unprotected, feels the need to move out and live on her own under the condition of residing in the mansion named “Ayakashi Kan.” In this mansion, only those who have cleared a very strict examination could reside in it, and for each resident, they are accompanied with one agent of the Secret Service (S.S.). Although Riricho has rejected the company of the S.S., while residing in the mansion she finds out that the agent dedicated to protecting her is actually the Fox Spirit whom she previously rescued.
… lolicons, lolies, and lolitas aside (which are not of my liking), i still like this manga because of one true good reason—- Miketsukami Soushi. I mean, c’mon…. who wouldnt want a nine-tailed fox bishie to be your butler a.k.a lover willing to be by your side forever and die for you? lol. The other characters are very much likeable as well. Both manga and anime are very good so it’s highly recommended :)

Upon entering high school, the very quiet but extremely cute Suiren becomes the immediate center of attention among the boys…but one particular boy does not look her way.The story of a quiet girl and a quiet boy. A short, refreshing love story.
… this is inded a story of a quiet girl and a quiet boy both having good looks. This is so cute! Im hoping that the scanlators update regularly. This has so much potential and it’s rare for a shoujo manga to have a love story between two people with the same personalities. This is going to be a quiet love story. Lol.

During the high school entrance ceremony, Koga Eito from the special class helps Kasuga Niina from her poor health. His gentle manner captivates Niina, making her confess her feeling towards him. Thus, the trials in love of this couple begin. As time passes, Niina finds it difficult to continue loving him since there are instances when he seems to be playing with her feelings. For her, going out with Koga may bring a grim future to her. (Midnight Scans) .
...I love it! The trial dating and all! I had so much fun reading this manga. It has a very playful plot. I loooove the main guy, Koga Eito’s sadistic, mysterious, yet playful personality. You’ll gonna love him i swear! I like the main girl, Kasuga Nina too even though she’s the typical klutz and crybaby character. Her determination and not giving up on Koga’s mischiefs and sadistic-playful acts makes her a very likable character. She is indeed Koga’s perfect match! Such a cute couple. This manga is totally recommended.

From Manga Abyss Uni Kururugi is a straight faced high school girl who always wears a kitty hair clip to make something about her cute. Her teacher, Haruka Sakurai is a ladies man that all the female students want. But he is interested in Uni… (Osuwari Team scans)
… this is cute! It made me laugh. and as what Haruka-sensei said, Tsunderes really are the best. This is a story about a tsundere/genius student and a cool/handsome temporary teacher who promised each other to keep their relationship secret until the right times comes. Their little love adventure is cute!

“Pika Ichi” is the story of two painfully shy teens who love yakuza movies. An incident at school pushes them over the edge, and they decide to drop their mousiness in order to dispense some “justice.” (mangahere)
… i love this manga! It’s a good read! And i love the characters more! Two nerd students who loves watching gangster movies suddenly transforms into a spunky girl and a Oh-so-hot-oh-so-cool guy. I totally love Tarou. He will make the fan girl in you squeal!

by: Chiba Kozue
Because she loved drawing and wanted to do something special, she went to a famous art school. And there she met… (mangahere)
…and then she met art genius Saji Akatsuki. The first time i saw this anime, i already figured out that this is one of Chiba Kozue’s because of the art. I like her art anyway. The story is quite fun and interesting ill be looking forward for more chapters. I also like the main girl because she’s full of dreams and not some other crap main girl who just wants to have a boyfriend when reaching H.S. She reminds me of the heroine in Chiba’s other manga—-Hitoribocchi wa Samishikute

But when Nanoka arrives at the address her grandfather gave her, she finds out that there are two brothers there! They aren’t related by blood, and Nanoka has no idea which one is her brother. Is it Aoi or Kou? (Shinnen) .
... why do i have this feeling that neither of the two guys is her real brother… i just cant accept it that Aoi is really Nanoka’s brother cos i ship the two of them! Kou should just better be off with Shion. Oh by the way, Kou’s hairstyle looks like Kurosawa Yamato’s (Say I Love You) and Yuugure Touga’s (Nagareboshi Lens) hairstyles. … and Nanoka is sooo cute :3 This is very recommended. The art and the story are both great.
