@Echonic I tend to avoid the shoujo stuff myself, but there are still a number of gems that deviate quite a bit from some of the things you might be expecting of shoujo stuff due to a lot of the tropes that get overused for the demographic. I'm also aware of a handful of series that might be tagged shoujo on sites like this, but were originally shounen. There's a magazine that changed its target demographic kind of abruptly some years back, shounen to shoujo, and rather than cancel or move some of the ongoing series in it they just kept them in there until completion. I know of another magazine that's marketed as "shounen manga for girls," too which has some interesting stuff in it (not to mention some other sienen magazine that's marketing ploy was shoujo manga for men).
Not saying you gotta try any of this stuff out and all, just that it might be a shame to write all of them off entirely. Just something to think about if you're looking for more stuff to read at some point.
