It's closing on the 26th so I wanted to read all the BL it had to offer despite not knowing any Japanese and I've managed to find pretty high quality works
Anyway I have actually found some interesting looking manga and was wondering if anyone who can actually read Japanese gleaned something good from the catalogue on the site. 2 reply

Shojo
[Question]

Ah Shojo
Who hasn’t read a Shojo? Sometimes something you think wouldn’t be a Shojo ends up being one. For example X/1999. It’s a Shojo, a very dark and bloody one.
Now for the stereotypical Shojo we all think about, I don’t really read it. I hate reading about some stupid beyond reason girl holding up with the unbelievably hot, super smart guy. In reality, a guy like that would not be interested in a girl like that unless all he wants from her is sex.
That is not to say in hate all stupid or shy Shojo heroines. Surprisingly, I like Tohru from Fruits Basket. She’s stupid, unrealistically kind yet it kinda makes sense why Kyo fell for her. But! My ultimate favorite Shojo heroine has to be Kiri from Beauty Pop. The story itself is not something to write home about but she carries it well. She’s unruffled, doesn’t care about what others think about her and just goes along at her own pace. Haruhi from Ouran is similar to Kiri in some ways, but I didn’t care for her romance with Tamaki. I would have much rather liked her to end up with Hikaru. Her ending up with Tamaki was such an obvious move that it disappointed me. I guess Hana from My Heavenly Hockey Club is actually more similar to Kiri, but I have not read the whole thing so I don’t know how she reacts to romance.
Some of my faves shojos are:
Natsume’s book of friends
Geneimuso
Beauty Pop
Fruits basket and Fruits basket another
NG life
RG Veda
Yumekui Kenbun
Game x Rush
I’m sure there are others but I can’t remember them right now,
