| the sailor moon manga is pretty dark compared to the series, but i wouldn't call it edgy. |
| Aside from obvious candidates like X, Utena, or Kaze to Ki no Uta... The Unico movies are a lot edgier than the manga. |

| well assuming we take edgy as just "bad series' that are dark" and not just any ol dark show like the buzzword it is, then the only shoujo's I can think of are Nanoka no Kare, Revenge Game and maybe Soredemo Bokura wa Koi wo Suru though if we go full buzzword 'edgy' i.e., anything that is dark, then From Nightmare to Love and A Star Twinkles Above a Flower in Sodom would be included as well |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Nana. It's very mature and has its dark/edgy moments. |
    ⸢ if you meet your god, tell him to leave me alone. ⸥ ベルセルク |
| Mahou Shoujo Site The first episode has enough edge to last you a lifetime... |
| karekano is so edgy you won't believe, I recommend to anyone to stay away from the manga/anime |

| Out of the ones I watched, I wouldn't consider any of them edgy. Some of them are just darker maybe than others. BUT, I'm really concerned with how we're calling Banana Fish edgy. |
| I sometimes forget to finish my sentences. |
| Outside of examples already highlighted, think Ayashi no Ceres (Ceres, Celestial Legend) and Oniisama E... (Dear Brother) would also fit the bill for dark shoujo titles as far as their story developments and themes goes. |

Yeah Banana Fish was rather stabbing and tragic, no where near edgy.samashi20 said: Out of the ones I watched, I wouldn't consider any of them edgy. Some of them are just darker maybe than others. BUT, I'm really concerned with how we're calling Banana Fish edgy. Late reply but fuck it i'm going through any old thread i think thats interesting and see what others think about it. LOL, Bananafish is not Shadow The Edgehog, if you want Edgy try something from studio trigger or play The World Ends With You come to think of it, you should play The World Ends With You. The best kind of edge imo. |

Crow_Black said: yo now that you returned to this thread, would you consider Othello to be edgy in any way? i still need to finish reading that tooThis was way before i was introduced to lntroduced toLife lol And its by far one of the best shojo manga ever to be created.  also yeah @samashi20 please play TWEWY, seriously don't bother with the anime adaptation for the love of the composer |

Anything thats visual kei related is the good kind of edgy and that and visual prison are both stuff i really liked. And also because of how much of a edgelord Nana is compared to her reserved counterpart Yaya. And it was just so zetta satisfying af seeing her just stand up to bullies. |

Fario-P said: Old message but I must say Naoko Takeuchi planned Sailor moon to be a lot more edgy. There was some mini comics where she explained how Ami-chan was first in her drafts a robot that slowly breaks and how after the first arc everybody dies and stays dead. She called people behind 90's anime adaptation pussies for bringing the girls back at the end in s1 lmafo. Man I love that woman.mangadere said: Agreed, I'm glad someone else actually recognizes how messed up the original series actually is.the sailor moon manga is pretty dark compared to the series, but i wouldn't call it edgy. But my answers are The Bride of the Demon and Twilight Of The Dark Master. both are older ovas so they do follow same trends as shounen/seinen ovas, violence and sexual violence. If however we include yaoi oh boy, there are so many series that include some questionable content. There was some yaoi manga about a pastor who gets raped by a soldier, but he graves for the soldier's dick again and when he meets him after years the soldier had his dick cut off by te enemy so the pastor cries for losing such a great dick :DD |

| Trinity Blood and 7SEEDS have some edginess to them. |
 |
| Banana Fish comes to mind, it's not your typical shoujo for sure. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |

Crow_Black said: Oh no, I knew that part too... I was referring to what @konkelo said about her response to the end of season 1Fario-P said: Oh yeah, heard about the original plan to Sailor Mercury a cyborg... but not the latter lmao, did she actually?? Takeuchi later said she planned to kill off the protagonists, but Osano rejected the notion and said, "[Sailor Moon] is a shōjo manga!" When the anime adaptation was produced, the protagonists were killed in the final battle with the Dark Kingdom, although they were revived. Takeuchi resented that she was unable to do that in her version. I just looked this up in on the wikipedia page of Sailor Moon. |

Fario-P said: Not in such a crude manner as I did but yes. I think I read it from a short comic extra, the ones where Naoko drew herself as a bunny. But I am unable atm to check was it an official translation or fantranslation.konkelo said: Oh yeah, heard about the original plan to Sailor Mercury a cyborg... but not the latter lmao, did she actually??Old message but I must say Naoko Takeuchi planned Sailor moon to be a lot more edgy.

| Mahou Shoujo Site, both the anime and manga, are edgy asf Although, I prefer the manga because it actually has an ending unlike the anime |
 |
| I'm thinking of works that are not mentioned by name, but that I have read.... Darkness of the sea, shadow of the moon Ao no Fuuin Ryuu no Nemuru Hoshi Kaguyahime Top Secret Kodomo no Omocha Honey Bitter |
        |
| Hakuouki is pretty 3edgy5me (it's a josei but close enough) |

Darkness of the sea, shadow of the moon I would like to read that manga, but it does not yet have an English translation. How does it compare to Shinohara's other works? Do you recommend any in particular? Mirai said: Hakuouki is pretty 3edgy5me (it's a josei but close enough) Having a plot is considered edgy? |

Do you recommend any in particular? Oh, there is no English translation? Since your favorite included Pygmalion, I figured that with Chie Shinohara's work, you would like this one the best. By the way, Pygmalion, although I didn't put it in my favorites, is my favorite work. I found Darkness of the Sea and Shadow of the Moon "scarier" than the other works. Isn't it already "scary" from the cover? I would recommend to you, honestly, "Darkness of the Sea, Shadow of the Moon" as my first choice, followed by "Purple Eye of Darkness" and "Seal of Blue"... I think... If you like historical fantasy, "The Sky is Red by the River" might be a good choice. But the latest one, "Dream Drop, Golden Birdcage," is more of a romance or a female relationship game, so I think it has less horror elements. |

Yes. Shojo refers to the demographic, the target audience for Banana Fish is young females, so yes, it is a Shojo. The genre focuses on personal and romantic relationships. We can clearly see personal relationships in Banana Fish, so it is a shojo. |
