MCs of shoujo anime > other waifus
Shoujo is garbage.
>>156039076
Correct.

>shoujo anime waifus
Chihayafuru is Josei.
>>156039727
No, you.
Was this shoujo?
>>156040889
Technically that counts. It pokes fun of shoujo tropes.
>>156040842
Although its published in a josei magazine, its style of romance and narrative is shoujo.
So its shoujo
>>156041357
No, it's josei. If it was shoujo then Chihaya would spend all the damn time thinking about Taichi and Arata. Instead she thinks about how she can improve her karuta skills to become Queen.

> read the page
> "Chihayafuru kami no oshie wa tokoshie ni tadashiki kokoro mi o mamoru ran"
> fucking yes
> return to Australia
> recite the poem in the same voice they use for karuta before every session

Its shoujo show in the sports genre. Romance is a minor plot element. MCs in Josei series/manga in the romance genre also spend most time thinking about their romantic life
Or are you suggesting that the MC of Nana gives very little thought to her romantic partners?
>>156039727
Prob only likes moeshit shows with bland, utterly artificial girls.
>>156040703
Seinen doesn't count, anon.
>>156041922
It's josei.
Shoujo, josei, seinen or shonen aren't genres, they are categories of mangas and magazines that indicate the target demography.
But Chihaya is literally the worst, most boring character in her series?
>>156042952
Sumire is worse
>>156039076
Chihaya is worse than waifufags
she is literally in love with a card game.
>>156043014
Sumire is a great addition. She's fun and serves a vital role as pretty much the only "normal" character (that is, not crazy about Karuta or old-fashioned like Kana) as well as a nice contrast to Chihaya because she's just so different.
>>156039727
And it's still better than 90% of what /a/ watches.
>>156043181
nah
you dont consume enough shoujo/josei if you think it's this pristine landscape
>>156039076
We need a Chihayafuru s3 and we need it right fucking now.
