    Skirt length, wow. I actually had to double-check the year it was published because I was utterly horrified that this kind of slut-shaming is still being peddled to young female readers in Japan. Sigh.

    Bird Kiss

    I am usually excited to read about heroines who aren't Mary Sues. Unfortunately, this female MC was just awfully shallow, selfish, and mean. I feel so sorry for the male MC, Fortunately, there were other side romances developing along the way, with at least one that I found cute. The...

    Hadaka no Banri-kun - Vol. 1 Ch. 2 - Blackberry Chocolate

    One of the better-executed "switch girl" stories I've read, especially considering it's a oneshot. The art may scream stereotype shoujo, but the mangaka is willing to go a bit above that by making BOTH her lead characters endearingly "flawed" (using the word liberally here, but this genre is...

    Game: Suit no Sukima - Ch. 12

    I'm glad the female MC refused the usual shoujo path of wallowing in self-pity after being treated that way by her love interest. Instead, she set the terms and offered to end the relationship instead. Male MC's "I can't let you go" was kinda creepy, though.

    Koroshi Ai - Vol. 4 Ch. 24.5 - Special File

    Ah, the sexual tension is unbearable! Need moar! The omake of Koroshi Ai can make me swoon harder than the 20+ shoujo manga titles I read this week.

    This is worse than Clark/Superman. At this point, it's only the sunk cost fallacy that's keeping me reading this brazen insult to readers' intelligence.

    Kaguya-sama: Love is War - Vol. 14 Ch. 136 - Dual Confessions, Part 3

    Shirogane's motivation really touched me more than anything else in this chapter. Well, that, and the fact that he didn't go the usual shoujo BS like asking her to wait for him to return from America. This couple isn't passive and will fight to be together!

    Matsurika Kanriden ~Koukyuu Jokan, Kimagure Koutei ni Misomerare~ - Vol. 1 Ch. 4

    Oh, she'll thrive in my country's school system. All memorization, barely enough critical thinking. I took up Education where we learned about higher order thinking skills, creating test questions that meet the holy trinity of cognitive-affective-psychomotor objectives, etc., but in practice...

    Chihayafuru - Vol. 40 Ch. 207

    Oh no, is that the sound of my ship sinking yet again? T.T Oh well, at least I still have the anime. >.< Also, I can't relate to Taichi's schoolmates swooning over his new hair. Then and now, I strongly prefer his longer hair.

    Akatsuki no Yona - Vol. 30 Ch. 170 - Front Lines

    I am reminded once again how AnY is heads above the rest of the other popular shoujo titles in terms of its empowerment of women. I love that respects Yona's personhood even if she's relegated into a damsel-in-distress situation ("she is not a thing!"). And Yona is showing her emotional and...

    Just a note that "co-sleep" is an odd word choice for meaning "sleeping together in one bed". But I am more bothered by the fact that the messy hair did not give it away (it was "messier"? Girlll!)

    Nietzsche-sensei - Konbini ni, Satori Sedai no Shinjin ga Maiorita - Vol. 2 Ch. 12 - Complaints, Complaints

    Transmutation circle, huh? I see-- that's what I've been making in the kitchen all this time. XD

    Ousama to Fushigi no Shiro

    The pacing is horrible, the female MC is dumb as rocks, she is all "Male MC-sama~!", the male MC is horrible... it's so bad that even someone like myself (who has immense tolerance towards the genre's problematic tropes) opted to cut my losses and quit on the first chapter.

    Thanks so much for the update!

    Kantan Dakedo, Mendokusai

    Works better as a oneshot, IMHO. Nice art, but at the moment, it feels like the only thing dragging the plot to multiple chapters is the characters' utter inability to speak out.

    Black hair. Shoujo loves its good girls reforming bad guys with the power of love and Never Giving Up (TM).

    Koi to Yobu ni wa Kimochi Warui - Vol. 2 Ch. 8 - Side Profile of Interest
