As long as this doesn't pull the dumb chivalry bullshit where the weaker guy still tries to protect the stronger girl then I'll read it. Which, considering the image, it doesn't look like is happening. Good.

Horimiya pulled this bullshit. Then Hori who was originally a sadist became a masochist. Fucking Japanese gender roles.

She's still a sadist as well though. You know most sadists/masochists are both.

I'd like shoujo if they didn't all have fujoshit designs.

Horimiya is really a shoujo disguised as a shounen. Even if the tags say otherwise.

>Red/Blue/Yellow arc
no tomboys or girly guys here

>Yellow arc
Yellow, I guess?

>Gold/Silver/Crystal arc
No girly guy here, but Crystal is a tomboy.

>Ruby/Sapphire arc
Tomboy yes, girly guy yes.

>FireRed/LeafGreen arc
No tomboy or girly guy, though Green (the girl, also called Blue) gets more girly

>Emerald arc
Well, Ruby and Sapphire is there, so yes, I guess.

>Pearl/Diamond/Platinum arc
I guess Platina can be considered a tomboy because she's good at fighting? But no.

>Black/White arc
Nope

>Black/White II
Black-II is like the opposite of a girly guy

>HeartGold/SoulSilver
Crystal's there, so a tomboy

>X/Y
I guess Y being a flyer is a tomboy-ish thing? And being a mentally wrecked boy makes X a girly guy

>Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire
Yeah

So out of 12 arcs, the only ones featuring both tomboy and girly guy is 3 (25%). There are 7 series that feature tomboys, so 58.33%. There are 4 (33.33%) series with girly guys (Ruby and X).

It's not even close to 90%, man.

>>142825684
Kind of, Kyouko realized she's in love with Ren and no longer feels that love is the worst thing that can happen to her. Ren starts to pursue her a little as he realized he may be worthy of love. Basically SK entered blueballing phase and it doesn't seem to be ending soon

>>142805273
Because he's not the MC? I'm kind of confused here.

I think they have more leeway with dudes in manga if they're not the main character. And you see this kind of shit in shoujo all the time. I don't see what makes this one any different.

>>142809625
Speaking of, isn't Udon finally releasing a english translation of Rose of Versailles this summer?

>>142805273
He may be alpha but is also way too girly for me to enjoy.

>>142825547
the first chapter has horrible yaoi style, I don't know if I can endure that. It's funny though

>>142827536
Looks like it's getting an English release.

I'm going to keep my fingers crossed for it popping up somewhere.

>>142829780

Also, it would just annoy the stronger partner if you tried to protect her like a dumbass. There's more you can contribute to a relationship than being stronger.

>>142809622
>I'd read female-directed works if they didn't look like they were directed at females

I haven't read any shoujo manga since Taiyou no Ie ended.

It's hard to find good shoujo manga since most shoujo manga fans are braindead and /a/ is even worse.

>>142805974
> As long as this doesn't pull the dumb chivalry bullshit where the weaker guy still tries to protect the stronger girl then I'll read it.

Too bad, took pretty much two chapters to get to that point where she's attacked by someone, is completely helpless and gets saved by the boy.

I mean, I get that it's for a certain demographic who eat up certain tropes but it'd be fun to see things go differently every now and then.

Should probably just read Beauty Pop again. That was pretty great.

>>142830507
It's a story, anon - what matters is the ideal, not the practical result, and characters don't get annoyed over it.

>>142831091
If you haven't read any in a year and a half, how would you know how hard to find they are? You aren't fucking looking.

>>142832100
To be more precise, I've read a couple chapters of various shoujo manga in the past year and a half but they were all terrible so I dropped them all. I suppose I should have specified that I haven't read any half-decent shoujo manga, or that I haven't read much of any shoujo mango.

What do you like the most about shoujo manga? In my case it's sparkles, bubbles, and sexually aggressive men.

>>142810929
>Bokura no Kiseki
My fucking nigga, BnK is such an unholy combination of Mystery, Fantasy and SoL and yet it's so fucking good. A bit ofa pain that you have to re-read it a ton in order to stay on track, but I guess it's a plus in a way.

>>142805273
it's a shoujo manga, the main guy love interest is not only always alpha, but he's also usually a serial rapist, sexual molester, beater of women always no.1 student, body of a model and will treat the girl like dog shit 24/7

Been reading 3d kanojo, and its pretty good. Most ahoujos feel really generic but this one doesn't give me that vibe.

>>142805273
okay just got caught up with this and it's so endearing and funny thank you OP

looking for other recommendations. i love lighthearted shoujo like this without unnecessary drama (i.e., horimiya)

How does /a/ find good shoujo manga? For me the most obvious step is to look at the art, if it looks like a generic shojou then avoid it, if it look somewhat different than your generic shoujo, like OP's pic, then give it a try. The next step is to read the first chapter and see if there's a unique gimmick that'll keep you hooked.

>>142847965
I just browse through the bibliographies of the members of Year 24 Group and take it from there.

> All these bad shoujo without a proper storytelling
Come on.

>>142847965
>if it look somewhat different than your generic shoujo, like OP's pic

But OP's pic look pretty generic.
I mostly look for shoujo with fantastical elements or adventure, though the occasional SoL can be nice.

>>142810929
Josei has too many sluts though.

>>142849762
What I meant is the one's with yaoi-esque art with stick figure body proportions. Also I have to agree that fantasy shojou many are pretty damn good.

FemMc is so cute I'm getting cardiac arrests

>like OP's pic
OP's pic looks totally like a generic shoujo

What the fuck do you faggots look for in a shoujo anyways?

>>142805273

NANI!

Typical romance shoujo is boring shit.
I only read manly hot-blooded shoujo like Glass Mask or Swan.

>>142851961
>implying main girls are not bland ass beta MCs

Is there any shoujo where both parties are passive that isn't complete shit? Only one that comes to mind is Kimi no Todoke but I have no interest in that one and many say it's bad.

>>142855619

You do it like any other manga - you go to MU, filter for shoujo, some genres/tags you usually like, and scanlated-only (unless you speak moon). Then you check through a bunch of them and read some of the ones that sound interesting, and then you know the names of some mangaka and magazines you tend to like.
