@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.

Don't get me wrong, the first few anime I've ever watched were "Kaichou wa maid sama", Ouran High school host club and Vampire knight. Quite literally the epitome of Harem shoujo manga, and honestly back then they were my favorites until I moved unto Clannad and Code geass. I even watch the again sometimes and except for vampire knight I still love them. But every day on this manga site I see hordes of these copy's come out every few seconds, and these copy's have one thing in common, they miss any back round whatsoever, the guys always look the same, the girls all have the same completely lifeless shell of a personality where they constantly get sexually harassed and confessed too and the only thing on their minds is "I wonder what they mean". and there endless worthless drama and tension without any character whatsoever. it fucking disgusts me to the point that I don't bother with shoujo anime/manga even if there are good ones out there, like fucking hell how the fuck does the shoujo genre which I used to love get is so thoroughly inferior to the common highschool shounen romcom nowadays.

Those people from a desert continent are sure pale as paper sheet... despite wearing mediterranean clothing and matching names...

Continuing from my previous post, oh hey princess is a tomboy in nature but not looks, that likes swords and... has a strong sense of protecting someone close to her while trying best to become stronger.

'can I copy your homework?'
'yeah just change it up a bit so it doesn't look obvious you copied'
