• 7th time loop

• in another world, my sister stole my name

• hana himeru kimi no meteor

• akatsuki no yona

• re-living my life with a boyfriend who doesn't remember me

• kuji" kara hajimaru konyaku seikatsu

• suprisingly fun new life of a divorce lady who is no longer interested

• this love is not an order from his majesty

I can’t read about this adorable couple anymore, because I get so jealous watching their cute moments together. Every interaction between the two feels so intimate, wrapped up in loving affection and simmering with hot tension all at the same time. They make a relationship seem worth it, with all its ups and downs. The title really is fitting. They’re the only Shoujo couple that makes me want to have a boyfriend. I don’t want to fall in love unless it’s the same euphoric and intimate happiness they feel. Please tell me I’m not the only one who feels this way😔😔

If you're curious about the manga, you can read in its entirety on Comikey (completed), and Viz is also releasing a print version (ongoing)

It was exactly the one I wanted 😭😭 it’s tiny, but I can read Japanese, so I actually think I can read the whole thing haha

I had to do a double take to make sure I was really seeing my favorite lesbians

Luna is afraid of men after having been stalked. She walks into a cafe after work. She meets the owner, who is also a waiter.

She’s scared, but sits down. He offers her a free cake and leaves her alone.

She tries it and it’s delicious. He smiles.

Since then, she’s come back. She’s a regular. And he’s fallen for her. She asks if she can hold his hand, to get over her fear of men. He says yes.

This is an ode to the service industry.

I’m a regular at a cute brunch cafe. As a solo diner, this story reminds me of the waiters I’ve become friends with. I had a waiter, who’d passed. He smiled like the waiter in the manga.
It didn’t matter who came into his restaurant. He’d welcome you with a smile.

Title: The Oblivious Girl And The Maidenly Man!

Volume 1 is out in Barnes and Nobles, Indigo Books, Amazon. Volume 2 is coming out in November.

Never thought I’d see the day that Yamada was on the Jumbotron the ONE time he ate that-

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like "kabedon" has totally disappeared from modern shoujo manga while it was everywhere in the 2010s. It used to be a huge cultural phenomenon from what I recall.

Have ever seen a couple and tell yourself, damn both look so beautiful, well here are my picks. These are in order btw.

1. Yoi and Ichimura - In the Clear Moonlit Dusk

2. Sana and Kanato - It Takes More than a Pretty Face to Fall in Love

3. Kumamoru and Tajima - Futarijime Romantic

4. Otogi and Tokiwa - Fall in Love, You False Angels

5. Satoko and Shinpei - Firefly Wedding

HM: Emma and Aleksander - Veil (they aren't new gen 🥲 but they're the most beautiful couple I've ever seen and I've picked a pic where they aren't posing and they still look better)

It only took a decade!

Ok, I'm not sure if this sort of post is allowed, but I don't know where else to express such thoughts. Does anyone else feel like anime has turned into something specifically for men? There are also so few shoujo animes or just interesting animes WITHOUT fan service, it's really annoying.

Most animes these days seem like they were made for the male gaze. All genres are made to cater to men. Slice of life? The whole cast is either little girls or teenage girls with big bazongas. Fantasy? 3000 year old big oppai loli dragon. Adventure? The hero party is all girls or one loser dude and the rest of the party is all little girls.

Literally every genre now, mystery, thriller, horror whatever, have like so many shows coming out with an all-female cast, (which surprisingly are usually very little girls) or mostly all female cast with a loser MC (Isekai is also becoming way too popular) Now, you might be like... what's wrong with an all female cast? Many women are watching it, but seriously, how many shows do you know with an all-male cast? Compare that to the amount of shows coming out every season with an all-female cast. The difference is astounding.

I wonder how popular an anime like "A place further than the universe" would've been if the main cast was all-male. I enjoyed that anime very much, but I get the feeling it wouldn't have been as popular with an all-male cast.

Old shonen shows were at least watchable, but new ones have such blatant fan service, it's literally disgusting. Even if there's no fan service, it's still full of scenes which cater to the male gaze more than anything. I understand that most shows cater to the male gaze, but my god, anime has become unwatchable in the past decade or so. It's so hard to find an anime to watch these days.

Every season, the top ten animes are all either little girls daily lives or one loser dude taking in a teenage girl or whatever. Anyone remember mushoku tensei? I don't understand how anyone can defend the MC, but there were still debates all over😑

We literally get little breadcrumbs of shoujo, and I'm so sad that anime has turned to this. Anyone else??

This subreddit is my only hope at last to get this rec cause source of my post also belongs to this demographic too and I already tried to ask in 1-2 other subreddit too but i ended up being the one who gave them rec rather than the one who received it lmao...

What I'm looking for

1.Only manga/manhwa/webtoon

2. No one-shots

3. Only straight (no bl & gl)

4. Romance as main plot as well as side plot both will works for me

If someone know any other subreddit where i could ask then feel free to mention its name too btw I'm already familiar with r/manga subreddit!

Source of post- shion kun no oose no mama (before you all start to ask about it, it's better for me to give you rec lmao..)

If there is few recs with this trope in shoujo demographic then I'm also open to every demographic as long as my trope match!
