    I am in the mood to read a good shoujo manga. Can anyone recommend any? I know there are many, but i want something with a decent plot and romance. I do not care how old it is, as long as the female is not a typical weak female. For example, Gakuen Alice, Kare Kano, Kodocha, Skip Beat, Tokyo Crazy Paradise, those types of female leads. I just want something cute, funny, and romantic.

    Thanks!!

    Love so Life.... it's the definition of 'cute'
    oh... you want strong female lead...

    Last Game...?

    is Nukoduke counted as shoujo too?

    Too many, but I forget most of the title. I accidentally deleted my bookmark

    Try hibi chouchou, and most oneshot shoujo mangas are gold

    I do the same for so many threads.

    I been meaning to read that one but i always put it on hold.

    I started reading up to the 7th chapter and then stopped. Is it really good?

    Not sure. But do you still recommend it?

    I did not know this was a manga, but it was on my reading list for the novel.

    I actually been reading this one, it just hasn't been updated. I hope it is not dropped.

    Thanks!! I'll check out the rest soon.

    I actually love that one. it is one of my favorites. I wish it had a longer ending though. I love the female lead

    Okay, going for older classics:

    - Hana Yori Dango: Commoner student attending a school for the ultra-rich and elite tries to stay below the radar. But when she stands up for a student being bullied, she catches the eye of the F4, the school's hottest and richest boys. Then she kicks the F4 leader in the balls.

    - Penguin Brothers: New transfer student joins a high school that has been divided into two student factions - Whites and Blacks. After both fail at recruiting her, she forms her own faction to put an end to the war.

    - Glass Mask / Garasu no Kamen:
    Maya daydreams about being an actress all the time, despite her difficult circumstances. When a mysterious stranger sponsors her education, she works hard to prove herself a worthy actress. May be too weak an MC for you, though.

    - Anatolia Story: Girl time-travels back to the days of the Babylonian Empire and gets caught up in the wars and politics there.

    Not sure if these will be your cup of tea but here are my shoujo manga suggestions:
    • Mekakushi no Kuni
    • Kiss/Hug
    • Kingyo Sou
    • Aishiteruze Baby
    • Girl Got Game
    • Cat Street
    • Chiguhagu Planet
    • Chizumi and Fujiomi (please don't be discouraged by the art XO)
    • Chotto Friday (Same mangaka as above)
    • Kanata Kara (again same artist as above)
    • Otogimoyou Ayanishiki (not being biased but same as above)
    • Dear Mine
    • Hana Kimi
    • Issho ni Neyou yo
    • Teru Teru x Shounen
    • Faster than a Kiss
    • Ginzatoushi to Kuro no Yousei - Sugar Apple Fairytale
    • Hajimari no Niina
    • Hanatsukihime
    • Kiss ni Juuzoku
    • Ragtonia
    • Immortal Rain
    • Ten no Ryuu Chi no Sakura
    • Warau Kanoko-sama
    • Koi dano Ai dano (follows the story of Waray Kanoko-sama)
    Disclaimer: These are the mangas I remember I enjoyed immensely.. If you don't like them that's fine but I hope you find at least one that interests you. Not in any particular order. I also tried not to suggest anything too mainstream coz you might have already read those. If I can suggest somethingm, try Kingyo Sou first since it's kinda short but is very sweet :D Sorry I couldn't put the summaries in these suggestions. Have fun!

    PS: If I remember more, I'll just leave the titles here.

    Something old that catches my eye would be Basara or Anatolia Story(Red River).

    Along the shoujo art styles there's 7 Seeds which I desperately recommend. (It needs more love!! Despite being a post-apocalypse story, it just makes you bond and fall in love with every team after each arc.)

    Currently reading it. Just waiting for updates.

    It seems like the novel is not updating as much either :(

    I started those three then put them on pause.

    Read the manga

    I am reading that manga. It's so hilarious.

    These mangas remind me of when i started to read manga

    Thanks!! Reminds me of middle school having my own lists of anime and manga on google drive and coping and pasting

    I been trying to watch the anime for this. My friend been bugging me about it
