But he can easily prove it with one of the goddesses, or Kanon.
You just had to go and mention another one
You seem to favor complete series. The only issue I see there is that a lot of great shoujo are ongoing. Newer shoujo borrow a lot of shounen elements which really brings life to past dull areas. That's where you have to give credit to series like Immortal Rain, Basara, Tokyo Crazy Paradise, etc... The result is that a lot of the complete shoujo seem quite generic such as His and Her Circumstances, Special A, Fruits Basket, etc... If you ONLY read them, you'll get tired out. Modern ones with shounen elements like Dengeki Daisy, Red Haired Snow White, Reimei no Arcana, 1/2 Prince, etc... balance things out.
I have a soft spot for Monkey High. It is pretty silly but still very fun. I couldn't get past the art for Mars unfortunately. Private Prince is josei smut but isn't bad. I have still to read Gokusen. It is a wishlist.
Yeah, I guess I'm also looking in general for more series to read that fall squarely on the "reality" side of things, where it's technically set in the "real world" but doesn't have the kind of extraordinary circumstances like you described. That's probably why I recently picked up Bambino!, since it definitely seems to fall on that side of things. Stuff like that, Bartender, Solanin... heh, looking at B-U tags, I guess I just want series that match up with "seinen slice of life". Any more recommendations along those lines?
Well I don't mind reading ongoing manga, but I'm trying to read as much more complete manga as possible. Monthly manga been killing me especially all the waiting periods. Plus I was checking my MAL and I realized the number of currently reading and completed manga is about the same. I really gotta work on fixing that.
Damn that's a lot of manga. I will try to start with the shorter ones first and then go on from there. Private Prince being classified as Josei and smut is very appealing lol
Hapi Mari and Private Prince are not bad. They are both perfect male / sex up female though. Kind of goes with the territory.
You have some difficult criteria there. lol
I had these 3 on my to read list for a while. Even though I know KnT goes nowhere, I want to read it cause the girl is very cute.
31 volumes and it's ongoing and only 3 volumes translated so far. These guys got ambition.
Sex with visuals. A good amount of scenes.
I guess I should be reading more smut manga. I didn't find any of the scenes in Private Prince to be very explicit.
It's not explicit. Typically just shows frontal female nudity. The smut is more of a style or element in a josei manga. More substantial then shounen/shoujo cut-aways and less explicit then the borderline seinen stuff. The emphasis is also on both sexes where the other media typically focus on one.
I think very few minority found the last few chapters to be epic or cool. I found them entertaining to be honest. But yeah what you said seemed to be the majority's opinion
Private Prince vol 1-5 END
This manga taught me two valuable things
1. Big boobs can solve anything
2. Every man is a rapist
With that being said this was actually very funny. The prince is a douchebag that was just using Miyako and it was very depressing seeing her get used like that. But at least she fell in love with him or something.
Either way there was enough shenanigans and new stuff happening every couple of chapters that the plot didn't get dragged down that much. I still think the marriage proposal was very crappy especially when she was in a bear suit while it was happening. The prince should have really timed that shit better. Robert was also a true gentlemanalways staying by the Prince's side doing everything he demands. Dude must have wanted to do Miyako so badly but he couldn't. Poor fellaslave
Anyway, 5 volumes marathon of shoujo shit is very tiring. I doubt I can pull it off again. I might just go back to one volume a day or something for the next shoujo series I pick up.
Haha, yeah, it does sound a bit restrictive when I phrased it like I did. It's not like that's all I'll read, just what I wish more of existed; I mean, I mostly enjoyed Koukou Debut when I read through it god knows how long ago. I've heard a fair number of good things about Emma so maybe I'll throw that on my list for later.You have some difficult criteria there. lol
Well, seinen SoL is like Otomegatari, Emma, Mushishi, Genshiken, Planetes, and Wandering Son. Onani Master falls into that category but is a bit unique. Survivor's favorite A Girl by the Sea is also adult SoL. You have fantasy, different time periods, and cultural settings there. And maybe you favor more modern established settings. But damn if those aren't fantastic manga.
Shoujo with natural relationship progress eh... I don't believe Monkey High had any of those moments but it is light-hearted. This is a tough one because this challenges my memory. Shoujo usually have some sort of "event," usually a possible affair candidate. So that would be stupid reason, drop of the hat. Maybe somebody who has read more of the older shoujo recently can help there.
But ongoing shoujo, I can comment. Dengeki Daisy is the antagonist to your idea. The only reasons to break the relationship are "real" ones. Kimi ni Todoke evolves at a snails pace but there are no silly reasons relationships are going south. Red-haired Snow White and Reimei no Arcana have strong relationships where onlycan affect things. lol Oresama Teacher doesn't have romance yet but you should still be reading it.kidnappings/murders
Man, crushing hopes, you are. Not that there was much left to crush anyway.
