To all MALE manga readers: Do you read shoujo manga?
njd09 said: Have only read 3 shoujo series so far. One was Girl Friends Girl Friends is Seinen. Shoujou-ai ≠ Shoujou. The genre demographic doesn't matter as long as it's good. This. So yeah I read Shoujou. |

| No, never. |
| Sure. Why not? Except the ones that are solely girl+ perfect senpai/bad boy in high school. Those I avoid. Basically, the same goes with manga that goes with anime. |
| Hahah, well I read it, but I usually just like the general male lead. :P |
     |
| Honestly, I hate the... "love triangles", -just piss the hell out of me! Another guy just butting in with that supid naive girl confused wanting the both!? Why the hell do some girls like that!? >< But I've always loved that fluffy cute feeling of it. The only time it gets ruined is when the other guy first appears... |
| I read my sister manga out of boredom and it was some what interesting. She dont own them and i dont like reading something not in the right order, but other than that it can be good. |
 |
| If it's good i don't mind |
 |
| I completely avoided it originally. Now that I've pretty much run out of shonen and seinen to read, I've given it a go. I'm enjoying it, some of it's actually surprisingly good (Kaichou Wa Maid Sama and Kimi Ni Todoke for example) |
 |
| Half the manga I've read are shoujo. I'm a sucker for cheesy love stories. |

| Shoujo manga is one of my favorites so I'm not ashamed of it.. especially if it helps us guys to understand them even a little.. besides a lot of Shounen manga is serious and I usually dig Comedy manga which is usually in a Shoujo manga |

| I love reading shoujo manga and I don't care who knows, I really enjoy reading skip beat! |

| SKIP BEAT! I LOVE IT! Also Gakuen Alice seems very good. i also tried Vampire Knight a few years back, but didn't like it. Considering to give it another go. 7seeds is also a good shoujo. So yeah, nothing wrong with shoujo, although a bit too "sweet" at times. |
| Shoujo plain suck. If a guy I know reads them, I would knock some sense into his head. |

| Nope, I don't read manga. So by the transitive property I don't read shoujo manga. |
| Banana Fish is the only one. |
| There Is A Light That Never Goes Out |
| Yes, I really enjoy reading shoujo |
 |
| Yeah, I read about an equal amount of shonen and shoujo. I'm not a fan of the really fluffy romance stuff so i do avoid a fair few series. |
| Hell to the Yes! The second manga I ever read was a shoujo, High School Debut! |

Ryo_Suzuki said: Read/watched: Nana Honey and Clover I didn't even know Honey and Clover is a shoujo but it's one of my favorites. actually, Honey and Clover is josei same with Nana, so... whatever^^ --------- surprisingly enough I've quite a few shoujo on my list, I've run a script and according to MAL (which is unfortunately not so reliable for this case) from my 156 Manga are: - 40 Shoujo - 36 Seinen - 30 Shounen - 3 Josei which also means at least 47 Manga have no demographic assigned (in reality it's more because some of them have more than one...) but you can see a trend so yea, I read a lot of shoujo, even though I read in the last years mostly seinen and want to read more josei (but it's quite neglected by foreign publishers... if you don't count yaoi :/) but now and than I dip into a nice shoujo or two^^ |
| I read shoujo and often times enjoy it. In fact, I can't think of anything I enjoy more than a good romance. However, some shoujo does bore me. I guess I like my shoujo having a bit of drama to liven things up. |
 |
| I prefer shounen, seinen or josei more than shoujo.. but I don't mind reading shoujo manga. and I've read some of the big titles already |
 |
| I don't love it/hate it more than other genres,though I'll admit I'm a bit picky about it. I do enjoy Skip beat,Aishiteruze Baby, and some others. |

| As long as the art and/or story is decent or doesn't immediately give a bad impression I'm fine with shoujo...and any other genre. Though after a while I tend to drop them for some reason... |
| It's one of my favorite genres. |
| When I still identified as male(before I was 13), I read a shit ton of shoujo, if that counts. |
| Of course. Awesome shoujos out there. Reading Oresami Teacher Last Game Dengeki Daisy plus a few more. Of course a few don't do it for me but the ones that do are amazing. |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
| 2 in my top 5 favorite mangas are shoujo. Karin and Absolute Boyfriend. Very enjoyable reads, I highly recommend them. Current ones I'm reading are Kaichou wa Maid-sama!, Watashi ni xx Shinasai!, and Suki desu Suzuki-kun!! I tend to be picky with shoujo mainly because of the art style. Anything similar to Yuu Watase's is right up my alley. |
| I do read shoujo manga, not ashamed of it either. Even I can enjoy a little romance every now and then. |
 |
| I think that Fruits Basket is the only Shoujo i've read, I could be wrong though. |
  |
| A lot, however only good ones though. |
| I personally find myself quite drawn to shoujo manga. I love romance and the style of shoujo is something that I enjoy. My friends attribute it to the fact that I grew up with just my mom and have always been a pretty hardcore momma's boy. *shrug* |
| I read Shoujo manga but only if Story and art is good and I'm not ashamed of it. |
  |
| Ofc it's awesome :3 |
 |
| I read it sometimes, and I enjoy it as much as shonen manga, if not more. The only thing I dislike is the artstyle but I don't dislike it enough to not read it. |

| I am gonna read a shoujo manga tomorrow. |
| I've only ever read 3 shoujo manga. they are not bad. it's just that 2 of them are virtually the same (namely kaichou wa maid-sama and special-A). So I stopped reading them with the mindset of if you read one shoujo, you read all. |
| My Reviews and Rants: http://bunny1ov3r.wordpress.com/ 痛就是爱 |
| I probably could read anything without too much of a problem as long as it doesn't entirely suck, so from what I've read, plenty are shoujo. As long as I enjoy it in the end, I don't ever care. |
 |
| Yup for sure I love romance manga and slice of life stuff. |
No matter where you go, everyone's connected.  |
| If the story is good yes. If its really good then people will read it. |
| If strength is justice, then is powerlessness a crime? |
| Only seen one Shoujo, later that day I discovered it had Yaoi. (O.O) I usually read Shounen manga. |
 |
| My fiance loves shoujo, and actually reminds me of the MC from Otomen. He likes cute and girly things and people often mix up our things because his is usually girlier than mine. Like these that we got from a booth at the lake on the 4th of July. His is the pink one. xD |
| Never! (your vote) All of their female characters are virtually unlikeable in any means. |
| --- |
| The only shoujo manga I've ever read was Kieli, which was pretty good. For some reason, I don't really like how the art in shoujo manga looks though :/ |
| "Our everyday lives may, in fact, be a series of miracles." - Nichijou |
| I don't mind shojo manga/anime. If its good i'll read/watch it, regardless if its shojo or shonen etc etc... |
 |
| No they sound gay |
