this is a hot mess.. ALL of the characters suck and are so insufferable imo the writing for them is very inconsistent. The art is amazing but honestly I think the story went downhill after like chapter 2..
both couples were super cute (though I personally prefer the 1st one) !! maybe it's just personal preference, but I do wish that there was more chapters so that the story could go into more depth about how the characters'relationships developed -- especially with the 2nd couple.
ngl this is kinda bad but at the same time I'm so intrigued,,, no idea who the FL is going to end up with but I'm hoping that in the future chapters she gets more dimension like she's so flat to me idk
Most shoujo leads are like that do yoh know any good shoujo that dont have leads that are flat or super submissive. Like they seem like an equal to their partner with a personality?
Yes, I do have some recs that I personally found really good to read !! Also note that not all of these are manga if that's okay with you. >_<
1. Now this one isn't a shoujo romance, it's seinin so it's more on the realistic side but I highly reccomend checking out 'Skip to Loafer.' The story is amazing and I found myself loving all of the characters. They're very dimensional and well written !! It's basically about an ambitious MC navigating through newfound experiences and high school life.

2. Uruwashi no Yoi no Tsuki

3. How To Get My Husband On My Side (manhwa)
CW for dark themes with this one. None of the artwork is graphic, but it does dwelve into themes of domestic abuse. I'm pretty sure that it's a slowburn, though the story and artwork are so amazing! I highly reccomend reading it.

*this one is historical romance
Anyway that's all for my own personal reccomendations !! Im ngl I don't really read a lot of shoujo but I hope that you enjoy these. Also you can check out lists other people have created !! I skimmed through a few of them and this one seemed to have really good reccomendations. vvv

Tyyyy!! Ill check them out. I think ill watch skip and loafer tho instead of reading it
This one might not “shoujo” in the typical sense but! The FL here is one of my all time favorites in shoujo/josei mangas <3

If you like the anime for it, I highly HIGHLY recommend reading the manga as well bc its on a whole another level. It might seem long because of the chapters but you’ll read through them sooo quick you wont even realize
mika and mitsumi's friendship is sooo cute !! it's so nice to see how far the both of them have come I love them so much <33
I could care less about his sob story. literally how is he surprised at the fl wanting to khs when he literally put her through abuse? like sir this is the consequences of your OWN actions get over it
get well soon !! i hope you have a speedy recovery, thank you for uploading even when hospitalized <3
