Why don't they animate more shoujo manga?

>>159032691
That's the same girl, just in different outfits, right?

>>159032691
>>159032691
I guess there's not much incentive since shoujo manga adaptions rarely sell well.

I think Japanese shoujo readers are more interested in live action.

Yuzumori-san.
But it's a bit painful that it takes a hundred years for a new chapter to be released.

>>159033237
But that's yuri and lolicon

Mermaid boys is pretty fun

>>159032691
because hikikkomori otaku who waste thousands of dollars on BDs and merch are usually males

>>159032691
Because Josei is superior, I can't remember the last good shoujo that I readed or watched, I think it was akatsuki no yona

>>159033333
Josei only seems good because so little of it actually translated into english.

I know. Isn't it great?
And I could swear it was serialized in a shoujo magazine.

>>159032929
No, it was the MC in different series by the same author, but you already know that.

>>159032691
Maybe if they cut down on the ntr part, they'll be actually readable

>>159033418
Well the drawing style is certainly shoujo-esque but I wouldn't recommend Yuzumori-san for little girls

>>159033495
Honestly this. Everytime some shoujo manga attracts me with an interesting premise it turns into an ntr fest out of nowhere.

>>159033578
>>159033418
The magazine it runs in is pretty obviously aimed at guys.

>>159033333
But they don't adapt much Josei either, to my great disappointment.

>>159033082
Local store brought Girl Friends so I bought it just so they keep buying yuri and I'm re-reading it for the 1038th time.

Template for 90% shoujo manga right here

>>159033815
>assertive dick
Maybe I'm just good at picking series, but I don't come across this type as much as I used to in the early/mid 00's.

>>159033666
Why? Most Josei is shit

>>159032691
Because the demographic isn't as profitable for anime, obviously. Did you really need to ask? Shoujo/josei get live-action way more than they do anime.

>>159033916
Yeah, yeah, most of everything is shit.
I still want my season 3 of Chihayafuru and a 7seeds anime.

>>159032691
Maybe if they adapted the shoujo Mangas I like they would actually sell

>>159032691
fujos only buy homomanga

>>159034192
Do you know what fujos are?

>>159034203
Young ones these days

>>159034203
The female demographic that actually spends money?

>>159034302
Pretty much. Otome whales don't actually spend that much in anime and fujoshit are the only ones who buy BDs and merch.

>>159034057
One thing that's always confused me about chihayafuru is that if it's a josei manga, then why do most Japanese people on the net refer to it as a shoujo?

>>159034302
Not true for manga.

>>159034332
>Otome whales
I'm pretty sure otomefags contribute a large amount to utapri sales. Although it think it's true that they prefer things like drama cds or manga.

>>159034398
I don't know about that, but if I had to guess it'd be that they're just using shoujo as a catchall, which they sometimes do (certain awards only have "shounen" and "shoujo" categories, for example).

>>159034463
I think that western fans take these demographic terms a bit too seriously sometimes.

>>159034398
I've also heard that japanese people often refer to some josei manga as shoujo but I don't know why exactly.
Could be because josei magazines are still a relatively small, "new" and close pool to shoujo. They don't feel the need to differenciate them?

>>159032691
because honey teenage girls prefer to read their shlick fics instead of watching them. Makes it feel classier for them.

>>159034691
Do they even have a widespread term for "female-targeted comics"? Because that seems like something you'd want to refer to a lot, so it makes sense that they'd just wind up using shoujo for that if they didn't have one.

>>159034981
Closest thing I can think of is 女性向け in terms of things aimed at women in general

>>159032691
Aruba Tanemura?

>>159035183
It's Mayupon

>>159035276
Why do series that run in Ribon all look the same?
