| @spupapi - No one was comparing shoujo to seinen. The question is does Dengeki Daisy deserve to be thenumber one shoujo? The list is currently Dengeki Daisy, Skip Beat!, Kimi ni Todoke, Lovely Complex, Ouran High School Host Club, Fruits Basket, Cat Street, Love So Life, Voices of a Distant Star, Eien no With, etc |

The list is currently Dengeki Daisy, Skip Beat!, Kimi ni Todoke, Lovely Complex, Ouran High School Host Club, Fruits Basket, Cat Street, Love So Life, Voices of a Distant Star, Eien no With, etc No one was comparing shoujo to seinen. How come? I am the one who compares it. I was merely sharing my opinion. Simply, I find those "easy-to-understand" genres, stories to be more popular than something which is more complicated. About the list, of what shoujo should be best. It is hard to tell, since all the artworks you have named, are very good and famous. I would say, that none of them are best. No matter what kind of review, I will give to Dengeki Daisy, there will always be people, who will agree with me or not. There will always be people, who will find it good, or simply bad. Anyway Kimi No Todoke is little bit overrated, Dengeki Daisy too. I really liked Dengeki Daisy at start, but as the story developed, I started to dislike it. I liked it so much in start, that I even started to read other artwork, by the same author. |

The named is the mother of the ten thousand things. I do not recall, Jesus ever saying "build churches, temples, and kill those who doesn't follow christianity..." nor he said "christianity is religion". News for VN immigrants in EU: vietinfo.eu |
| i actually <3 Dengeki Daisy ! >O< .. buh they'r many other mangas who deserve to be on the top as well buh i think Dengeki Daisy has an interesting and amazing plot to it :)) -thats just my opinion hehe x3 |
| ^ Isn't NANA Josei? I think it's also considered shoujo but whatever, Because people tend to be afraid of anything new or creative. So mangakas just regurgtate the same thing and the idiot buyers don't realise. It happens to lots of genres. This is why every single BL that was given a adaptation is some "forbidden love" oh, and incest. |
| Ive read Dengeki Daisy i dont think its that spectacular. Bokura Ga Ita, Kimi Ni Todoke, High School Debut, Aishiteruze Baby and Lovely Complex all blow it out of the water. |
 |
| Even though I had read Dengeki Daisy, I really don't think it deserved the top shoujo spot. The story is good and I really like all the characters in the story (except the bad guys). But I think Kimi ni Todoke,Gakuen Alice,Special A and Skip Beat! are better than Dengeki Daisy. |
    |
| skip beat 4 sure...i'm not fond of shoujo manga(even dislike most of them)but skip beat is really the best...vampire knight is good too... |
 |
| I stand by my opinion that the best shoujo manga I've read is Cardcaptor Sakura. However, this thread seems to be focusing more on romantic comedies rather than magical girl manga. DD is definitely excellent, but it shouldn't be up there at the top just yet. It's still serializing, anyway. |
| I don't like japanese shoujo at all it seems that they all have the same story-events-characters.. I would prefer if it was a korean shoujo in the top 10 ><.. As for shoujo mangas I only like Otomen it's fun and unique :3.. |
 |
| I enjoy Kieli, myself. It isn't too sappy and does the supernatural angle well. |
 |
YankeeChan said: IMO, Koukou Debut is the Queen of all shoujo manga, that for some reason is not as appreciate as Dangeki Daisy. "Le sigh~* I know I've seen that setup in a bajillion and one teen movies. It might be slightly different because it's rarer in manga, but I can't find anything original about it. |
|
| ok well first of all Im a guy so the amount of shoujo manga that i have red isnt that much but i have read severa and i have to say that i think it does deserve the top place for a couple of reasons 1) the art is just amazing, and its not just simple to draw charecters either 2) as you say it probably isn't a very original story(even though i havnt read much like it but as i said before im not very experienced when it comes to shoujo) but i find that it just captivates me and i cant stop reading 3)i don't know a third reason really but i just think that it is a very greatly designed manga and definitly is my second favorite manga and my first favourite shoujo manga yayy i typed stuffl |

Now I recommend reading NANA so you have something to compare it to. |

| I haven't read too much shoujo manga but one of my absolute favorite manga is a shoujo, it's called After School Nightmare. I can tell a lot of thought went into it and it has such an engaging story along with interesting characters. As for Dengeki Daisy I don't usually like the pure romance stuff or the shoujo art. The high school setting is quite overused. I read the first chapter and can see why people like it. It has funny moments and cute moments, I didn't catch enough of the plot, and the characters seem likable so far, for superficial reasons mostly. I might finish it some day, but a lot of similar shojo have disappointed me in the character and plot department and it did get pretty cheesy at times. I'll add it to my list nonetheless. |
| I haven't read much of Dengeki Daisy, but the idea of some rom-com about a highschool girl and a man who's 8 years older than her didn't appeal to me. It's your average shoujo manga that's got it's cliches, pros and cons. While it could be an enjoyable read I don't believe it's anything very special. But that's just my opinion, it's the highest rated shoujo manga on MAL and I couldn't care less about it. The best shoujo manga for me would have to be Akagami no Shirayuki Hime. It's got a heroine that's smart and hardworking. The relationship between characters are well balanced and I like the art. A really charming manga, that. |
| I actually DID try to read dengeko Daisy but I didn't find interesting in the bit and when I had found out myself that Dengeki was at the top I was pretty much shocked . I tried continuing it with it and I was just too bored . Can't understand why ppl find it so amazing but oh well ~ As for best shoujo for me, would be: FINISHED Crazy for You Chocolate Cosmos Cat Street Fruits Basket Good Morning Call Hana to Akuma Hana Yori Dango Houkago Hokenshitsu (not rly typical shoujo but it's one of the genders c:) Kare wa Tomodachi Kimi wa Boku no Mono Koi ja nai no da! Koishitagari no Blue (one of mah fav shoujo actually <3) Koko ni Iru yo! Lovely Complex MeruPuri: Märchen Prince (also one of mah fav but for dif reasons <3) Million Tears Moe Kare!! NG Life Nousatsu Junkie Oyayubihime Infinity (I was sad I hadn't found this sooner) Power!! Private Prince Shugo Chara! (the manga is way better than the anime) Shuukatsu!! - Kimi ni Naitei Soryanaize Darling (quite adore this onemainly cause the main guy is sooo cute) Special A Sprout Strobe Edge (also one of the best again <3) Tenshi Ja Nai!! Zettai Kareshi (so sad ;~;) I had a lot more rly but they were mostly oneshots so I left them aside xD ONGOING Bokura ga Ita Gakuen Alice Kanojo wa Uso wo Aishisugiteru Koibana! Koiseyo Hanabi (finished but pretty disappointed they scanlate it so randomly =/) Money Ace X (finished too but only one chap remaining to be out >.<) Skip Beat! Stardust Wink Sukitte Ii na yo Usotsuki Lily Vampire Knight Watashi ni xx Shinasai! (<333) |

| I still prefer OHSHC over Dengeki Daisy, Art-wise and story-wise. There's a lot of awesome Shoujo manga out there and I think others deserve the top spot. |
 |
| I think Dengeki Daisy is one of the best shoujo mangas I've read in a long time. A story doesn't have to be original to be good. In any genre you're going to get certain tropes and clichés but it's the execution of them that really matters. |
 |
| I would certainly add my vote for Mars as the best shoujo. Others: Red River - not only is it a long epic story (28 volumes), but the two leads are actually likable, strong, and independent people. Hana Kimi - rather silly, but it's still one of the best I've read. |
| I think DD is one of the best, with the number of mangas I read it is hard for me to say best cause I have Many Favorites or Many That I LOVE. Others I think are also great are Mars Skip Beat Ouran HSHC The One Youth Gone Wild |
 |
| Boku no Hastukoi kimi ni sasagu |
  |
| Shinrei Tantei Yakumo.... it's so good that i'm surprised it's not shonen |
| IMO my favorite shoujo is Kaichou Wa Maid-sama or Nana, but than ratings doesn't always means its the best. I read 1 chapter Dengeki Daisy and it wasn't that good but then again most mangas and animes in this site is not considered #1 everywhere else since I check the amount of members and they tend to have less members (by alot) than those such as One Piece and Naruto |
| I probably need to read more shoujo manga before I can say what I think should be in the top spot, but one of my favorite shoujo manga so far has been Ultra Maniac. So I am actually kind of surprised it is only rated a 7.69, while Skip Beat is rated an 8.82. I know it's a matter of opinion, but I just feel like Ultra Maniac is superior in a lot of ways. For that matter, why is Skip Beat rated higher than both Fruits Basket and Ouran Highschool Host Club? It is only a small difference, but I think it just goes to show you can't always trust MAL's ratings. I'm not hating on Skip Beat or anything, but compared to the other shoujo manga I have read - Ultra Maniac, Fruits Basket, Ouran, Otomen, etc - it seems a little overrated. |

| Dengeki Daisy makes me sooooo bored xD I can never catch up with it every time I try cause it's so boring xD And the same with Kaichou wa maid-sama and special A. I just don't think they have anything rly spectacular, dunno. I'd prefer manga like Fruits Basket or Ouran High School Host Club, Kamisama Hajimemashita and I can rly list a ton that I like xD So yeah... I'll never get why Dengeki Daisy is so popular =/ |
|
| Wow... I completely forgot I even READ Dengeki Daisy. The reason being that it was just forgettable to me. There was nothing rememberable about it to me. The art was average, the characters were boring, and the plot was silly. It wasn't bad, just average. Usually when a manga is popular, even if I think it's crappy, I can see why it sold so well. But this one...Well, I can't. I mean..I saw this thread and thought to myself "Hey, Dengeki Daisy sounds familiar." So I Googled it, and it turns out I've actually read it. I have pretty good memory, so it's a bad sign when I forget a manga I read not a month ago. Yes, seriously. I read it less than a month ago. I can remember manga that I've only read one chapter of years back, but I’ve read multiple chapters of DD only a couple weeks ago, and it totally fled my mind. I'm not going to lie: I can be pretty critical when it comes to entertainment. So maybe I'm not a good source to get manga from, simply because I'm picky. Out of the shoujo manga I've read so far, Koukou Debut is my all time favorite. It's too bad all of Kawahara's other works bore me to tears. |
| Dengeki Daisy is nice. But that's it. It's definitely not the best shoujo there is. I really like The Wallflower and Lovely Complex, they're both super funny, but not that romantic. A whole lot girlier are Hana to Akuma and Beast Master. But the best shoujo is definitely Oboreru Knife! I can't believe it's not popular. Go everybody check it out! haha |
| The best are those ignored/overlooked by the immature teenage girls that have managed to get uneventful, fake & non-progressive titles such as Dengeki and Kimi ni the averages they do. Neither of those two have anything that would make more experienced, mature readers go 'WOW!', but because they make girls go 'Awwwww~!' and/or touch themselves over not-real pure love and white knighting, that's all they care about. They started out as one-shots and that's highlighted by their respective non-stories. I look for shoujo that have a compelling narrative; something constantly pushing the story onwards beyond a world of white backgrounds. That's why I'm so fond of NG Life and PSME. |
| Fruits Basket and Akuma to Love Song should definitely be ranked MUCH higher. The only reason Akuma is practically unknown is because it hasn't been fully scanlated yet, and it's only been recently licensed by Viz. |
| fruits basket basara ng life return angel sanctuary -- but I didn't read dengeki daisy yet. |
| http://dunderheads.weebly.com/ ever had this urge to stalk a person on MAL and read/watch everything they read/watched? I had. |
| I like Dengeki Daisy but I prefer other shoujos like Koukou Debut or Moe Kare!! D: |
 |
| Dengeki Daisy a shit. Tonari no Kaibutsukun is the best shoujo. |
| My favorite shojo is kaichou wa maid-sama! I like Dengeki Daisy, but it isn't the best. Then again I am a guy so I can't really judge what is a good manga for girls... |
| I have never read Dengeki Daisy before, but when it comes to shoujo manga, I would deffinatly say that it is worth reading, and there is plenty of wonderful stories out there! My personal favourite manga is a shoujo manga, called Kitchen Princess... this story moved me to tears, people! |
| I'd say no. Dengeki Daisy is so not the best shoujo manga ever. I enjoyed around three volumes of it but after that it got so cliched I couldn't stand it. Why there's ONE shoujo manga title in top 10 manga list? Because THERE ARE girls who like Dengeki Daisy, like, A LOT. And you can't ignore that. |
