SHOJO MANGA: POP&ROMANCE on Behance Aimed at young Shojo Manga: Pop & Romance, shoujo is often the most popular genre for young Shojo Manga: Pop & Romance in Japan. It's often dramatic or romantic, but that isn't to say every shoujo manga is alike. Shojou can be just as complicated or even deeper than other manga genres. In this list, we're looking back at the greatest shoujo manga of the s, according to Goodreads. When she was young, she had a childhood friend who moved away suddenly. Now she sings with the hope her voice will reach him. Aoba-kun's Confessions was the newest work of acclaimed author Ema Touyama, the woman behind Missions of Love. However, unlike its predecessor, Aoba-kun's Confessions is full of fluff with only a pinch of drama. Mayo is a shy high school girl who isn't good at communicating, so she decides to work as a Listening House Girl for her aunt where she listens to people's problems. However, her first client Aoba-kun is one of the most popular boys in school and star of the basketball team. Throughout the manga, Mayo tries to make him tell her his Shojo Manga: Pop & Romance that has been eating away at him. In the process, she falls in love with him. Can a shy girl like Mayo truly win over his heart? Erika Shinohara wants to be popular, so in order to impress her gyaru friends who all have boyfriends, she lies to them about having one of her own by snapping a picture of the first boy she sees. The first problem? That boy is the most popular boy at her school. The second? Kyoya Sata is a total sadist who hides behind a princely facade. When Erika asks Kyoya to pretend to be her boyfriend he agrees under one condition: she must become his "Wolf Girl" or he'll tell everyone she's a liar. Despite his cruel and horrid personality, Erika soon finds herself falling in love with him. It's considered a guilty pleasure amongst many others who have read it. Ninon Okamura is an introvert with a country accented speaking parrot, Sensei, as her only friend. Due to the trauma of being bullied in elementary school, she can only speak to her parents or Sensei without breaking down. However, she slowly begins to open up when she's tasked with keeping an eye on Yuiji Kira, a boy with heart disease. The more Ninon and Yuiji interact, the closer they grow until they fall in love with each other. Kae Serinuma is a fujoshi, a manga and anime geek who enjoys reading boys love fiction, and loves to image it, whether in fiction or real life. But when Shion, her favorite character in Shojo Manga: Pop & Romance favorite anime, Mirage Saga, is killed off she locks herself in her room for Shojo Manga: Pop & Romance week. Afterward, she finds herself lighter than she was before and realizes she has lost a large amount of weight. Because of this, she also happens to attract the attention of a group of boys who all fall in love with her. Throughout the manga, she has to figure out how to deal with this newfound attention while continuing her hobbies. Although surprising to many, Ghost Hunt is a shoujo manga, albeit one on the darker side. Ghost Hunt follows Mai Taniyama as she becomes a part of the Shibuya Psychic Research after she breaks a video camera they were using while investigating a case in her school. There, she meets Kazuya Shibuya, who tries her to fill in for his assistant. When it's revealed she has post-cognitive dreams and clairvoyance, the story only becomes more twisted. That's until Mikoto Kujou becomes the top student in class after scoring higher than him. Naoto and Mikoto are polar opposites, down to her being poor because she must solely depend on her mother's income after her father died. Last Game is unique because it spans from elementary school to their second year of college. Last Game reads more like a book with multiple POVs than a manga, which will be refreshing for those who want more narrative in their manga. Blue Spring Ride is arguably one of the greatest shoujo manga of all time. Io Sakisaka, the author and creator of Shojo Manga: Pop & Romance well-known manga Strobe Edgeis beloved for creating fresh characters in a genre saturated by meek female leads. Blue Spring Ride is the perfect manga to read if you enjoy some bitterness in your love stories. Polar opposites really do attract. Although it was mainly a comedy at first, it evolved into something more including drama, and of course, romance. While Hori may be bright and popular, Miyamura is gloomy and nerdy to most. Unbeknownst to their classmates, Hori dresses down to take care of her household and rather stay inside to take care of her younger brother, and Miyamura smokes and has tattoos. When they discover each other's secrets, they become closer, Shojo Manga: Pop & Romance friends, and eventually fall in love. Lastly, the undefeated champion of recent shoujo mangas is Orange. The odd name and bittersweet story have drawn many into its world again and again -- enough so they adapted the entire series into a 13 episodes anime series and a movie. Orange follows Naho Takamiya, a high school girl who receives a letter from herself 10 years in the future. Using this information, she attempts to stop the transfer student, Kakeru Naruse, from dying. If you're thinking that sounds dark for a shoujo series, then you're right. Orange is also listed as a seinen a mature genre because of the sensitive themes surrounding it. Brianna Albert is an author, writer, reader, and seasonal anime watcher. She has been watching anime since before Naruto became Hokage and trying to figure out how to bend air since she was in kindergarten. She now works for Valnet, Inc, writing anime lists on Comic Book Shojo Manga: Pop & Romance, writing about television on Screenrant, as well as editing as a Junior Editor.

But she is the bride of demon prophecy, and her blood grants incredible powers, her flesh immortality. Now the demon realm is fighting over the right to her hand...or her life! Misao has made the choice to forgo college and a normal human life in order to be Kyo’s wife and mother to the demon child she carries. But her pregnancy is unusual, even for the demon world. The last pages of the Senka Roku will reveal the truth of the matter, but now that Kyo has it in his hands, does he really want to know…? Reads R to L (Japanese Style) for teen plus audiences.

    Introduction to Manga for Librarians

    PRESENTS AN INTRODUCTION TO MANGA FOR LIBRARIANS In cooperation with Hello, we’re We’re extremely excited to now have our entire digital book list available to libraries through OverDrive. Kodansha is one of the leading publishers in Japan, and one of the largest in the world. While we are a general publisher, we are also one of the major publishers of Japanese comics, or manga, with a long and distinguished history of releasing some the most popular titles in the world, including such classics as Sailor Moon, Akira, and most recently, Attack on Titan. This brief introduction covers manga titles available from our U.S.-based manga imprint, Kodansha Comics, which publishes selected manga from our broader Japanese list into the English-reading world. While the wide variety of genres (for all audiences) and long, complex storylines of manga can be bewildering for the uninitiated, we hope to break down some basic concepts here. In particular, we hope you take away from here a few key points about manga, and in particular digital manga, if you’re not familiar with them already: MANGA ARE THE KIND OF COMICS YOUNG WOMEN LIKE TO READ. Unlike most Western comics, manga is made for all categories, catering to all audiences, from young children to adults, girls and boys. In particular, manga has exposed the stereotype in North America that girls don’t like comics and are often the preferred type of comics young women like to read. MANGA SPEAKS TO TEENS. That said, teenagers are the core demographic of manga in the West.
