finally a new josei manga worth reading

Ii ne! Hikaru Genji-kun
Even though this is a story from the recent past…a man who suddenly appeared in my room seems to be “Hikaru Genji.” Yes, the one from the Heian period, the insanely popular young nobleman who is the main character of “Genji Monogatari.”
At first I thought he was a suspicious guy in cosplay, but after I had bashed him over the head with a metal bat, I decided to watch over him for a little bit. Soon he became like a parasite, and if he weren’t so elegant and shy…
Everyday life has become fun. He started posting waka and such on Twitter, and soon he had lots of followers.
That guy really likes women. But he hasn’t laid a finger on me. Oh! But it’s not as if I want him to!
Well, I really don’t know why, but it seems as if a gorgeous NEET has come to live with me…?








This comic is really funny and I love the art.

I'll check it out but at first glance I don't think it has much of the appeal of the fujo elf series. Mainly that the girls boyish in that but also that she's kinda a weird lovely gremlin and the dude looks hot in a boring way but has kind of a mean streak, gets fed up with her and also gets horny in a normal way. That seems like a low bar for male char writing but it's hard to find...

Actually this leads into a broader issue I have reading het shoujo stuff in general where I identify much more with the women in het romances but it often feels like "oh this time the girl's the bland self insert" in the way a lot of the shonen dudes are, and then the guys tend to just not be my type at all either so it's hard to get interested in either of them. Conversely I get along really well with some series I think are more male oriented from the "girl's side" so to speak.
With Uzaki-chan for instance the girl's a really strong presence as a character, her constantly imposing on the goodwill of her bf shtick is very appealing to me and I'd be totally dtf chad passing nerd virgin who's a huge idiot but very kindhearted.

Not saying any of my common issues I have reading shoujo romance apply to fujoshi kanojo n I didn't mean to poo poo on your rec, just reminded me of a broader thing I'd been thinking about.
As for josei I did really love the ballet teacher x old dude comic from a few pages back but a lot of straight up romance josei I've tried reading I've bounced off of, maybe I'm just not looking in the right places though.

I love the art in this chapter.

It's also so weird having more than one recurring male character in a yuri manga.

I could be wrong, but I assume Shino's friends are going to be the focal point of the next few chapters, what with them suddenly having attention called back to them and having spent a fairly extensive time dealing with Shino's family life.

e: What was that one manga where the artist made a joke (?) about replacing all their male characters' faces with an emote because they didn't get into yuri to draw guys?

some het poo poo for dis idk if you would like any of this or not, I'm assuming the stuff I've posted about regularly (like Namaikizakari or that one with the couple who cooks together) didn't hit the mark so I skipped those

quote:

I've been enjoying this one quite a bit because the storyline around the romance is more engaging than the romance part, the characters are all in an art prep school working to get into college (w/some older characters trying to figure out their career paths) http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/sekirara_ni_kiss/

this one only has a few chapters but it's been really funny so far http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/motokare_ga_fudanshi_ni_natteorimashite/
the main character turned her ex into a fudanshi then they reconnect as adults
she's a doujin artist that he's a fan of but she doesn't want him to find out

idk how you feel about slice of life stuff but i also like this one, the couple is very chill and it's just their daily activities but it's pretty funny http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/futari_ashitamo_sorenarini/

another one w/just a few chapters but it's cute and does the ol gender role switcheroo http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/my_husband_is_a_housewife/
it's licensed
i might buy it
when it comes out

http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/you_got_me_sempai/ maybe, it's been a while since I read it and i only read the first few chapters but was impressed that the characters were more engaging than i expected them to be, I ended up buying it but haven't ever gone back to read the rest lol
but where i was going with that was i dont remember a whole lot about it at this point

ty :pray: truth be told i don't read a lot of the posts in this thread so v likely I just missed them. I guess I'll float out for other people too, upon more thought I guess what I'm looking for is dudes who wanna gently caress in a normal feeling way and women who are on top of that interesting as characters, bonus for tomboys/otherwise atypical or interesting design wise (like scraggly ikemen woman from a bit back)

i appeciate the honesty of yuri artists being like "i just want to draw cute girls and sometimes the girls kiss okay, don't ruin my dreams"

yaoi has the opposite but equally intense "all i desire is pretty boys with the pointiest chins. if those chins cannot cut glass then get them out of my sight"

none of this is a complaint mind you, more power to them
