I agree. Although, I haven't been able to come across any ones I like in the past while, please let me know if you find some good ones!

There are many that are good
well now i can only remember some so here:
red river
saver
red lion
gakuen alice
beauty pop
skip beat
most of hwang miri's works
nah i get you i really hate the damsel in distress type like they dont do anything to help and let the guy or her friends do all the work.
Glad you get it. I dont mind it but it often can get a little annoying.
I don't really read shoujo because the girl usually is set out to have like a "dumb" way of thinking is there any shoujo recommendations that had a protagonist with a little more control? (personally i love medaka-box)
