Reading Over Shoulders – Shojo List Edition
I knew there was a reason I left Colorado.
To ride the ‘let’s list stuff cause it’s really really fun and everyone loves lists’ wave – started by John Jakala, then David Welsh – here’s my top 5 Addictive Shojo Manga:
1. Fruits Basket – this is or should be on everyone’s list, it’s like crack.
2. Absolute Boyfriend – I know a lot of people thought this title wasn’t very good but I couldn’t get enough of Night and Soshi. They adorn my cubicle walls like Zac Efron in a middle school locker.
3. Sand Chronicles – the plot seems so simple but there’s something about this touching manga that makes me flip the pages of Shojo Beat to read it first.
4. Ouran High School Host Club – It’s basically the same thing volume after volume and yet, I still laugh.
5. Chobits – ok, I don’t know if this technically counts as a shojo title but it’s close enough. I secretly reread the volumes then pretend to be shocked at the chauvenism.
Whew! That was fun and made me want to read some shojo. Oh, here’s some honorable mentions that are actually manhwa:
Bride of the Water God – sooo pretty
Two Will Come – I like the jerky/sweet player character
