I doubt the manga will end anytime soon and most of the episodes are episodic. So you're good to watch it whenever you'll feel like watching it.

While we're still on the subject of judging books by their covers, I must say that looks worse than the eternal edition. I'd have mistaken it for a bootleg out of context. Why did they change the covers?
Worse? Not that I necessarily disagree, but how so?

I did watch the decent French dub of Charlotte to feel more natural, though they don't use québécois accent
Haven't seen it yet, but I guess I should have figured that there would be a French dub for it

Let me gives shoutout to this obscure shoujo Petite Princess Yucie. If you're a shoujo fan, this anime honestly needs more attention. I don't remember much about the anime since I watched it 5 years ago but I do remember the fact my memory saying it is good.

Oh and Kaitou Saint Tail too. Plus a good ending <3
I need to watch both anime!! Though I agree that Saint Tail is great just based off of the manga, it was fun to read.



Seen the anime for kaitou siant tail a while back b4 i watched Phantom Thief Jeanne and now, i think we can certianly use more shoujo phantom thief stuff specially when persona 5 is hot shit rn.

I must admit, that I didn't read through entire topic, since I just woke up and just used the search/highlight button to see if my favorite one is being mentioned or not.
Didn't see any highlight, so I will just go for it. And before you (or anyone else who sees the title) goes at my throat and bitches at me for the famous kiss-scene, hear me out, please.
This is by all means not a Shounen Ai story - the kiss was not even a fanservice-focused moment as people who didn't watch it, believe - as it actually was an exchange of a pill, which contained a written note, which was only meant to read by the other in order to do something outside of prison (I try to be vague to not spoiler too much).
Point is, the story I want to bring closer to you is very dark and heartbreaking, and if I remember correctly you seem to like those type of stories. And this one seems like just the story you would love to watch (or read).
I want to tell more, but I'm worried to spoiler accidentally something, so by all means: Watch or read Banana Fish, the story will hit you differently. It's not something which feels like a Shoujo Demographic at all and it's so cruel and brutal and bloody...
Currently I stick to fanfictions of it to heal my broken heart from the original story and that says a lot about me, since I've stopped reading fanfictions 7 years ago.
But theoretically I could talk about BF all day long, theorycrafting, talking and sharing thoughts or just watch heartbreaking AMVs / reading FFs, because this story hit me too hard.


Can't believe i never went to this part lol oof.

Bananafish is indeed amazing and shorter,ash and ejji are such an amazing trio. Shorter is a real one hands down.

The action and the shit that happens in the story its just pure pain even that itself isn't enough to describe how brutal Bananafish can be.



And yeah overall Bananfish is honestly one of the best series ever to be made in shojo history.

I've not read a lot of shoujo manga but there's a few josei manga I really like-

In clothes called fat(https://myanimelist.net/manga/13881/Shibou_to_Iu_Na_no_Fuku_wo_Kite) by anno moyoco.

Portrays the psychology of a a food addict and the people surrounding her really well.

Heart wo uchinomese(https://myanimelist.net/manga/9251/Heart_wo_Uchinomese) by george asukara.

Is a collection of short stories that focus on romantic relationships between high schoolers .Along with having great technical structure has nuanced portrayals of interpersonal drama

Pink(https://myanimelist.net/manga/41769/Pink)by kyoko okazaki

This is one of my favourite manga so it's difficult to express why it's good in a consise manner.Thus I'll link a review which mirrors my thoughts-

https://myanimelist.net/reviews.php?id=190252
