Also I apologize for ranting unnecessarily like that.
I agree completely, it's like you somehow read my mind and wrote the above post the shoujo genre requires female leads who have a mind and a personality of their own and male leads who aren't over the top angsy jerks. Of course I also agree with the fact that in shoujo genre females are always insulted and blamed for anything and everything whether it was their fault or not
Thank you! I'm usually reluctant to post long thingamajiggers like that. (because I usually accidentally delete the whole thing or I worry I'm going to incite a flame war)
U are so right
I'm with you sis'!!!!!

As if I've read my own thoughts. :)
I normally don't read shoujo manga as much as I used to (because yaoi ensnared me in its trap and nowadays a lot of love interests and heroines leave a bad taste when I read them, the heroines are wimpy, whiny, and wishy-washy, and the love interests are rude, over glorified for their sometimes quite weird looking (in my opinion, but I have somewhat unconventional tastes so whatever) appearance, and the heroines are insulted on a regular basis for thing they can't control, which I see so many people I know struggle with and are given unnecessary grief for and it passes me off, which makes my stance biased, but the point still syands.)
But every now and then I find a wonderful manga like this, with a strong admirable heroine and a love interest who, while not perfect, grows on you and is endearing to the audience and the heroine, and it doesn't feel so one sided. This manga made my evening. I will be recommending it to my friends.
