Apparently Akagami no Shirayukihime is getting an anime in the summer. I was introduced to the series awhile ago by someone in this thread. It's a cute manga! The fantasy setting is a nice change from the usual high school shoujo, and I love the artists' details on the outfits. As for the romance, the two main leads get together pretty quickly and easily. I think because of this, I found myself more invested in the guards' relationship instead.

Oh hey, cool, was not expecting that. I haven't checked it out in a while, letting new chapters build up, but I really do like it.

On one hand I'm happy because this series is cute and lighthearted. On the other hand the manga storyline seems to have gotten lost and is wondering around in circles for the last few arcs. They've been kind of boring.

Yeah, I enjoy the side characters way more than the mains - the mains have basically been together forever now, but must remain apart because responsibilities, ad nauseum.

Huh. I'd been meaning to read that but never got around to it so I guess I'll watch it first instead.

Yeah, my interest petered out on Akagami a while ago, but I will definitely watch the anime if it tightens up the story. A new chapter of Honey just came out! Honey is another very sweet manga, very shoujo with pretty art - I am pretty sure it's been linked here before and liked (I hope!). Fun fact - the characters are based off a one-shot the mangaka did called Granulated Sugar. Sorry for any cavities!

Nthing the praise for Honey. Onigase is one of the sweetest "delinquent" leads ever, and it's just feel-good shoujo the entire ride. I highly recommend it!

A radical delinquent in shoujo is pretty much a normal teenager almost anywhere else. I think that's why the soft-hearted delinquent genre is so popular - they're just more interesting and relatable.

I think that's why the soft-hearted delinquent genre is so popular - they're just more interesting and relatable. More proof that delinquent shoujo mangas are the best. Another one that I really liked was Atashi no Banbi, a short but hilarious four chapter series. It's not super sugary sweet like Honey, but the two main leads are charming doofuses. The author is the same one who does Haru x Kiyo, which also got a new update recently.

New Horimiya, and since it's a chapter not about the main couple it's pretty good.

I wish they'd translate the character guide at the start because other than the main characters, I can never remember who anyone is.

There's no shame in liking comedic shoujo manga, which this one is turning out to be.  I admit that the actual Correct 5 is dull, but I love the fact that the main guy is a loser home-shopper.Hopefully the protagonist continues to show more spine in future chapters. If they were just constantly trolling each other it'd be great.

Nate RFB posted:I'm glad you posted this, even though after binging it I'm not sure I'd say it's a romance story per se, because while it kept getting brought up in the seinen thread I never gave it much of a look for whatever reason. It got compared to Chihayafuru there but honestly the first thing that came to mind as I caught up was that it was a much, much more competently done Your Lie in April. Like that story the main character in this is riddled with trauma but it just seems to handle it so much better, with a lot more introspection and fewer anime diseased pixie girls designed solely to solve his problems and pull at your heart strings. Yeah, I'm inclined to agree. It doesn't stray from being silly and comedic like Your Lie in April, but on the other hand the emphasis on Rei's relationship with the sisters and how they're also dealing with loss in the family is more touching than the weird love quadruple in Your Lie in April or the rivals in piano.

I just caught up on the last dozen or so pages of this thread after falling behind on my shoujoing. Now I have way to many new series to check out. These tabs will never go away...

I think my favorite thing about Yandere Kanojo is its firm refusal to accept the normal anime fan definition of yandere.

Yeah I've been keeping up with it for a while, it's a fun little feel-good read. There was a series that got a thread here once with the same sort of pitch (I think it was called Onidere?) that I thought was pretty mediocre, so my first reaction to YK was that it was that series but done with actual heart. I guess the artwork isn't that great but it works well enough.

Yeah, I think the little twist about the main guy being really insecure is part of what's making me enjoy it more than the first one. It makes me more curious about how he'll act in the future and how their relationship will progress.

I've been letting a few months pass before checking out and reading whatever new Bonnouji's come out and I just found out it's over. WAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Such a god damned shame. It's like the only romance story in the history of ever without a giant helping of BS that goes along with it. My life is again meaningless.

coathat posted:Bokura no Hentai is back baby. http://bato.to/read/_/308424/bokura-no-hentai_v7_ch26_by_hachimitsu-scans We get the reappearance of an incidental character from a previous chapter, chapter 16, where he seemed unusually upset with Marika over the whole queer/trans thing... and now he seems particularly bothered compared to the rest of the class. conflicted, maybe? And then there's the girl in home ec... I love how straightforward and aggressive Akane is. So far there have been a handful of scenarios where you'd expect her to be at the center of drama, but she usually defuses it right away. EDIT: One of my favorite parts of Volume 7 (I don't think this is a spoiler, it's from one of the between-chapter sketch pages):
