This is my last post on Shojolover, but not my last post on wordpress. I have a new site called Bad Romance. It’s going to focus on reviews of really bad shojo mangas. It’s been fun, but ever since November I haven’t really been  interested in watching the currently airing shows, and have not really [...]

  Valentine’s day is right around the corner which means its time for another countdown series. This year instead of shipping countdown, I’ve decided to make a list of fairly decent shojo mangas that are still coming out and evaluating them on a plot and romance level. Day 1 is about Otomen. Plot:  “Asuka Masamune is a guy who loves girly things–sewing, [...]

This is not really an issue that concerns anime in particular, but more something that effects all fandoms- including books, movies, live action television and western animation. It seems more and more though that the word “Fangirl” is getting increasingly negative conatations. There could be several reasons for this phantom. 1. The Twilight series: Yes, I know, everyone [...]

This was pretty much the best episode of Shugo Chara party. Mainly because it actually focused on the oldsters instead of the next generation. Now, I don’t mind Rikka or Hikaru, but it’s not really the same. -__- lol at Nagi’s over the top reaction shot. The anime tends to make him much more nerivous/worried. I [...]

Instructions: Bake sugary shojo until fluffy ^__^. Yumerio is pretty epic. It really feels like a shojo show made for young girls in the nineties. Since they’re arn’t many that come out now that don’t have that werid 3D animation, it really is a treat (not as delicous as the cakes on the show though). In this [...]

Yay~ A Clamp crossover I can finally approve of. Seriously though, does anyone actually know if it crossover with Wish’s complete story or if this was just a random filler cameo? I know Kohaku showed up in chapter 16, but it’s going to be quite awhile until that story arc shows up. At least Kobato has [...]
