Tbh its just super boring for me. They all end up being the same prompt. Girl (mostly shy pushovers) meets 2 hot dudes, 1 is hot-headed and borderline abusive and the other is the nice handsome prince. Obviously hot head dude wins the girl and thats it. Honestly one of the only hetero mangas that I REALLY like to this day is Ouran high school club since it broke so many typical shoujou manga barriers. Otherwise I just can't help but wince at the repetitive plots of hetero manga :P
because all of the girls act the same. they're all too emotional and annoying. but in some where the girl is laid back I can handle.
Because the girls/women in shoujo are a caricature of what it means to be an actual woman. They're doormats not only to the men in their life, but to everyone around them. It's deeply irritating and insulting.
Name one such manga. Where the chick is the actual lead, not a kickass character in the vicinity of the main characters. And that is an actual shoujo manga. Coz I can list a host of mangas with strong female characters, but they're not shoujo.
yaoi is even worse
and yapi is better? lmfao
Yaoi is on the same shitty level as most hetero mangas, manhwas.
because theyre gay and im not a guy so it would be IMPOSSIBLE for me to experience anything they experience while girls in shoujo are relatable on so many levels, main one being the gender, its like 'why do guys like them and not me' sort of thing. and IK its fiction and all but i cant help it.
If any of that makes sense xd
You guys could easily go and look for them in the tags (since there’s literally a strong female lead tag), but I guess I’ll list a few.
-Sabaku no Harem
-Honey Lemon Soda
-This Girl is a Little Wild
-The Reason Why Raeliana Ended up at the Duke's Mansion
-Okashiratsuki
-Raise wa Tanin ga Ii
-Beauty Pop
-Horimiya
These are just a few. There are so many interesting hetero romances that y’all are dismissing. No, not all of these are shoujo but I never talked about shoujo ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
I personally dislike it because it makes me jealous and the girl is a BIG turn off but i'm curious to why others don't like it
