| Oh my goooooood this is pretty much the best graduation gift ever~ I really love both of those manga (especially Tonari no Kaibutsukun). Even if I don't kow how they'll animate Sukitte, I can't really imagine it as an anime. But we'll see! Looking forward to them.. |
| that's great! can't wait for Sukitte Ii na yo. |
 |
| The sypnosis of Tonari no Kaibutsukun is incredibly terrible. Mod Edit: Removal of troll quote. |

| Hey, they both actually sound like they could be good. I look forward to them~ |
| Argh... Really ? from all the shoujo manga out there they decided to animate this two? morshuwarrior said: Btw, the sypnosis of Tonari no Kaibutsukun is incredibly terrible. It's not only the sypnosis and Sukitte Ii na yo shitty too. |
 |
| I haven't read shoujo manga in a while but I did try Sukitter Ii na Yo... Hmmm. Kinda interested to see how they'll do anime-style... |
 |
| FINALLY SOME SHOUJO?! Since Kimi ni Todoke there weren't any good ones so I'm very excited right now! Hope that those manga are good :D |
  |
| I've read the first couple of chapters of Tonari no Kaibutsukun and it's okay so far. There are plenty of other shoujo manga that I would have liked to see animated though. Still, I'm excited! I love, love, love shoujo, so as long as it makes me squee, I'll be good. Edit: So apparently Sukitte Ii na yo is smut... STILL GONNA WATCH! |

 What "Adolescence" do you have? Do you remember "Childhood"? The irreplaceable one existed there. |
phoenixalia said: honestly, WOULD YOU PEOPLE GIVE US SHOUJO LOVERS A REST ALREADY? Can't I access ONE thread about shoujo anime without you stupid trolls TROLLING AWAY TO GLORY? yet you people are the ones who complain when someone posts something bad about shonen. Practice what you preach, honestly. We BARELY get any shoujo anime as it is and you still don't even want us to get even THAT MUCH? You get 6-7 romance shounens per season, is that not ENOUGH FOR YOU? Why take what little us shoujo lovers have? WHAT DID WE EVER DO TO YOU? We get it, you're guys, you don't like shoujo. We don't want you to go 'yawning'(yes person up there, I'm referring to YOU). You're just wasting posts and trolling to show how immature you are. if you don't watch shoujo fine. but don't troll and annoy the crap out of us shoujo lovers.and FYI, if these were so terrible they wouldn't sell more than romance light novels...in manga, yes, they DO sell well. Sometimes more than 200k. Oh and just to make your twisted selves happy, yes, shoujo anime NEVER sell well? Bet you're grinning aren't you? So even if these are made into OVAs they'll probably sell a pittance. Not a shoujo or a shonen lover but , +1 |
| I've read the first volume of "Sukitte Ii na yo" and I liked it but now I will wait until I watch the anime ^^ And the other one seems interesting too, will watch for sure ! |
| ok, I really does love tonari no kaibutsu-kun as a shoujo manga but if it turns put like the kaichou wa maid sama anime... I will kill myself... I must be weird to not want an anime adaptation... ah but hiyokoi ova was not that bad! I hope the cast will be the cast of the drama cd! |
| Probably won't watch Sukitte Ii na yo but Tonari no Kaibutsukun sounds rather nice so I might check it out. ^^ And yeah, totally need more of Hiyokoi and second season of Kaichou wa Maid-sama. |
| Wh-- actual shoujo? We never get that. I haven't seen actual shoujo in forever. I don't even know what to say. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for a Strobe Edge anime, but I don't mind shoujo so this bit of news is welcome. Let's wait for the cast announcement now. |
| Not interested in smut and I find the other 1 with loss of direction. But will watch Tonari no Kaibutsukun to see how it turns out. Honestly, I'm kind of excited for Kaibutsukun as it really weren't horrible. Hopefully it sells(the 2nd 1, not into smut) and better shoujo will be able to get animated. I am really happy to see shoujo being animated(I repeat, no the smut 1) :D |
 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ |
| Currently reading Sukitte Ii na yo and I've listened to the drama cd. If I'm not mistaken, parts of the drama cd are available on youtube. Hopefully they will retain the seiyuu because I just love Sakurai Takahiro (Kurosawa Yamato) and Kayano Ai (Tachibana Mei) combination! |
 |
| Oh, I really can't wait for the anime adaptions of both series! It's too bad it's been a while since new chapters have been translated to English of both manga series, but I've really enjoyed Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun and Sukitte Ii na yo so far. So, yay, I'm really excited! |
| Sukitte Ii Na Yo makes me happy to be animated (hopefully it'll be well done) but the 2nd was kinda mehh to me so I'll proly watch it but not with real excitement~ |
   |
| Meh. I'm not a big fan of the school romance flavor of Shoujo, and the nature of the announcment makes me think that these might be OVAs rather than full series, but I could be wrong about that. If I was going to watch one, I would probably go with Tonari no Kaibutsukun. It just seems like the one that would appeal to me more, for some reason, probably because I prefer "cold" girls to "shy" ones. |
Current FAL Ranking + Previous best::  [ |
| Yesss, shoujo finally. Maybe Strobe Edge or Ao Haru Ride ever?! |
| Hey. Tonari no Kaibutsukun is actually becoming an anime. Even though it's a shoujo. It's a pretty funny manga. Can't wait for this one. |
 |
| Ohmygod yes! Though I'm sort of neutral to Sukitte Ii na yo, Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun is one of my favourites! So happy, day is just made. |
| Really? I know little to nothing about these two (I did read some one-shots by Hazuki a few years ago and they were decent, I suppose), but it really wouldn't hurt if they turned out to be TV series. What was the last new shoujo series adapted on TV (not counting Natsume Yuujinchou's recurring seasons)... Kaichou wa Maid-sama!? Now I just wish shoujo anime would come back into fashion so we could get a quality adaptation of Aozora Yell or Oboreru Knife ヽ(；▽；)ノ |

| OH MY GOD YES. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG. ESPECIALLY TONARI NO KAIBUTSU-KUN BECAUSE I WAS WONDERING EARLIER HOW IT WOULD TURN OUT AS AN ANIME. SO YES, YES, YES! AS:DKLFA:LDKFSAS :'D |
| Two of my favorite shoujo. Hope the adaption will be good, now I have high expectations~ |
 Forum Set made by Bunny ♥ |
| Yes to more shoujo manga adaptations!~ I'm pretty excited about Sukitte Ii Na Yo since the manga was good (despite it being smut, the plot is pretty interesting). |
     |
| I am hoping for more good shoujo anime in ages, but for some reason I don't think this will be ever as good as my favorite Kimi ni Todoke. |
| Both are so good (I listened Kaibutsu-kun Drama CD, and is reading Sukitte Ii na yo)!! I cannot wait for both of them! |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Wow it's a miracle a shoujo manga gets animated!! Excited for this!! Hopefully its not studio deen who will animate they mess up almost everything they get their hands on! |
 |
| Great news. They should animate Dengeki daisy someday too~ |
ワンダーランド花 ♥ |
| They both look promising. Not enough shoujo anime anyway, at least if you exclude the reverse harem bishie series. I'm looking forward to some more normal shoujo romance series :) |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| OH MY GOD YES. We need some new shoujo. I've been deprived for so long! |
| damn those pretty boys. |
 |
| FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YEA |
| I wonder, will it just be an OVA (just like Nagareboshi Lens) or a full series? |
| wooah I never expected Sukitte Ii na yo to have an anime :O definitely gonna watch! |
| Why do both of these manga's synopsis sound so..generic. Those stories has been done countless times. |
 |
| YEEEEEEES !!!! I'm so happy !! Sukitte Ii na yo ♥ |
 |
| not really a fan of shoujo... meh |
| first Karneval, and now tonari no kaibutsu-kun. im very very happy. |
