Princess Jellyfish ruined me. The plot is so good  :cry: Like it's such a sweet yet relatable manga and I love it. I don't really care for the ships though lol. 

Orange is one of the most popular shoujos out right now. I read it because it was over hyped lol. Idk how it's sales are however. I just heard good reviews. 

For a famous shojo, it's been pretty absent in the last few months XD

I've heard great things about Princess Jellyfish. Is it Josei?

Yeah but I honestly don't know why because a Josei is usually hardcore and Princess Jellyfish is like a shoujo paradise.

Yeah, a really soft Josei. Just imagine a shoujo but with a older woman. That's probably why it's considered a josei- because the main character is like 20 instead of 15.  

 

Plus, the main focus isn't even romance in this story. But it's a good portion of it.

Hmm....I'd say Hocus Pocus- it's a horror manga about a model suffering the after effects of surgery. It's also one of the greatest josei's of all time.  

 

Special mention to After School Nightmare cause that should be considered a effing josei. The story is way to disturbing and deep to be a shoujo (That's like calling Oyasumi Punpun a shounen)  

 

And another shoutout to Desire Climax because it's been 6 years and that story is still the craziest manga I've ever read. I'll be damned if that's a shoujo. It puts End of Evagelion to shame.

I'll start with Hocus Pocus b/c I want something more grounded, dealing with real life issues.

If you want recommendations I would also suggest Hideki Anno's wife's works, Moyoco Anno. She's amazing. She also created the popular Sugar Sugar Rune series. She's my fave josei author.

 

But like, fair warning that joseis are not for everyone. High amount of sex involved and some topics are really deep. Like I wouldn't recommend Hocus Pocus to everybody, honestly.

I'll give it a try. I've never really explored Josei mangas before. Nah, sex scenes don't strike me that much honestly. I dislike more of the stupid fanservice in shonen mangas. This sounds dumb, but in what way does Josei differ from Seinen?
Shojo vs Shounen is obvious, but not so sure about Josei vs Seinen. And what do you prefer out of the latter two?

Oh dear i love this manga.

I'm on Suwa's side tho.
i got nothing against Takeru and at the beginning i thought he and Naho would make a great pair but as the story goes on it seems kind of strange.

Kakeru might live on this timeline but Naho will still choose Suwa.

Who here thinks Kakeru got a letter too?? lol
