@@crispywizard420 it’s sooo good isn’t it, so glad you’re enjoying it. It’s also an amine, & I think there’s a new season this year. I haven’t watched it yet but I’m dying to!
2024 is officially my year of manga. I absolutely adore shoujo especially the ones that have me giggling and kicking my feet 😭💜 im adding every elite one because your taste aligns with mine (i adore the romance and chemistry in How I Met my Soulmate and cannot wait for more updates)
Yaaay, I love this for you! Honestly shoujo manga is so wholesome, and I'm with you the ones that make you giggle and kick your feet are the bessst! I hope you like and enjoy my elite mangas, if you have any you'd recommend to me I'd love that as I'm always looking for ones to add to the list ❤
@@dahabow8250 aaaaaa really! I need to find it online, it's not on any of my subscription channels yet. I can't wait to read it 🥺! Also I forgot to mention, in my other response about How I Met my Soulmate - I'm sooo invested in all their stories I'm dying for an update too!
OMG finally someone talking about futari de koi wo suru riyuu. I really like the fl and ml so Much. It's sad that not many people talk about it. I't's so much fun watching you telling about each manga and we definitely have same taste 😌👌
Omg this manga will ALWAYS have my heart! It’s so good, Jun is one of my fav ml out of all my shoujo mangas. It’s nice to find another fan on Futari de Koi wo suru Riyuu!🥰 Thank you, I’m so glad you liked the content! As we have the same taste, if you have any manga recs please send them my way ☺️
Saving these recommendations, after watching A Sign Of Affection and reading the manga I want more of this 😂 never thought I would like this genre but this anime had me giggling and kicking my feet like a little girl and it was the best
A Sign of Affection is seriously a treasure! I haven't watched the anime yet as it isn't available on any services I have :'(! I know it's so addictive, I want more. It's quite drama free so I wouldn't mind a bit of drama popping up in future vols 😅
The anime is incredible, you can really feel how much love the creators put into making it! You are in for a treat once you can watch it! I actually really like that it’s drama free, my life is stressful enough haha, this amine was really calming and cozy which is exactly what I needed, probably that is why I got so unexpectedly obsessed with it. I am relatively new to anime and watched mostly action prior, now add me to the shoujo fandom 😅 the heart wants what it wants
omg this video was perfect!! i'm such a huge fan of both shoujo and josei (i'm starting my channel up soon and can't wait to discuss some) and this was just a blast to watch! love seeing shoujo fans in my feed. i added a bunch of these to my tbr!!
awh thank you, I'm glad you liked the content! Yesss, I'm slowly getting into Josei, so if you have any recs please send them my way. Omg good luck with your channel, definitely go and do it. I can't wait to see your vids :). Fingers crossed you enjoy the manga recs from the vid, let me know how you find them 🥰
@Ashleighsbooklist okay so Kyoko okazaki is a really popular josei mangaka! I own all her stuff in English but can only recommend River's Edge so far! It came out physically last year and it's really dark tbh but also so so good so I can recommend that one!!
Tbh we don't have the same taste at all but I enjoy your reasonings for things and your accent lol. I see you're a big romcom fan so I must recommend My Love Mix Up, Hatsu*Haru, Cinderella Closet, and Tamon's B-Side.
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed the video even though our tastes aren’t the same! 😄 I’m always looking to try different manga genres, so if you have any recs from your preferred genre I’d love that ☺️ Yes romcom is my main love haha! Omg My Love Mix Up has been on my TBR list for agessss, it sounds so so good. I’ve also been recommend Tamon’s B-Side before so I must get a move on with starting it. The other 2 I hadn’t heard of so thank you. These recommendations were great!✨
We have the same taste I 100% agree with your ranking and lovesick Ellie is so underrated I wish more people would read it it’s so hilarious and adorable the elite ranking are all perfect and I’ve definitely reread all of them 💖
I agree, Lovesick Ellie is sooooo underrating, I hardly ever see it talked about and Ellie is probably one of the funniest shoujo females out there! I’m glad you liked the ranking and we have the same taste 🥰! Have you got any manga recs that I haven’t read that you’d put in the elite tier?💞
@@Ashleighsbooklist I’m not sure if I have any more I’d consider elite but you might like these and they’re all completed it’s been a while since I read all of them so I might be forgetting any annoying parts if there are any haha Risouteki boyfriend kimi wa kawaii onnanoko You got me sempai sesame salt pudding Kiss me at midnight Kirameki no lion boy Short cake cake Mikansei demo koi Ii Haru to koi to kimi no koto Maid in honey
@@meme8934 thank you these recs are great 😍 I’m currently about half way through You Got Me, Sempai and I still don’t know what to make of it lol!! There relationship went from 0-100 so quick I was confused the entire 1st volume. But I continued and it has grown on me lol. I saw someone talk about Short cake cake on TikTok literally yesterday and added it to my tbr haha!
I love these mangas. "In the Clear Moonlit Dusk" -- honestly, I don't know how I feel about that one yet. I love the art style, it's beautiful. Something about how the main guy acts doesn't sit well with me. I feel that he pressures her to be physical a lot. Also, the part where he was hanging out with a female friend alone and she hangs out with her coworker alone...they both get jealous of each other, of course. not sure why neither of them discussed whether each of them was okay with that. I personally do not have male friends, just acquaintances. my husband personally doesn't have female friends, just acquaintances. We never had to discuss this, so that may be why I can't relate to this situation. but I get the feeling that he displays more jealousy than her even tho he does things that warrant jealousy from her as well. But it is high school. so I know teenagers tend to hang out and be super friendly to the opposite sex even if they are in a relationship, so not really surprised. I have to see more chapters for me to decide where I would tier it.
I'm glad you love the mangas too! I get where you are coming from with 'In the Clear Moonlit Dusk', I got offish vibes from Ichimura at the beginning but then I grew to really like him. How it ended before the hiatus, I realise how much he likes and appreciates her, I think his behaviour is more down to the fact his not used to liking someone this much (tho that doesn't excuse it!). I don't want to spoil anything if you aren't caught up, but I recon in the next vol (when the author is back from hiatus), I think they will discuss this sort of thing more (about jealousy etc). The relationship is still pretty fresh so a lot of bumps down the road I recon. I did love Takiguchi and her coworker together I thought they made a cute pair! I always fall for the secondary male haha
OMG THANK YOUUUU i thought i was the only one who felt that way abt the ml and the story in general. stopped collecting the physicals & gave them to a friend :/
@@kellyharriet1478 thats a shame, but I tooootally get it! I wouldn’t recommend Kare First Love (which is one of my 52 mangas), as the ml is more pushy than Ichimura. It does end up being an issue talked about by characters in the book, but just a warning as you might not like it! :)
Please do, and let me know if you liked them!! I recon if you thought Ichimura was pushy 'In the Clear Moonlit Dusk', I would maybe give 'Kares first love' a miss. I love it, and I think it's quite realistic in the sense how boys and girls are at school. The character development is topnotch, HOWEVER the ML is red flagish and pushy at times (which is discussed in the manga). But yeah maybe skip that one haha
My pleasure! Let me know how you get on. If you have any manga recs send them my way! Also part 2 is out Sunday, if you need anymore manga to add to your tbr😅
When a manga can make you giggle & roll around kicking and screaming, you know it’s an elite manga! I hope you like the mangas, let me know what you think of them!🥰
I love Cheeky Brat and I agree with everything you said about Yuki! Some things could've been handled properly and quickly if she were to open her mouth and communicate lol
I’m sorry about the thumbnail, it doesn’t sound believable but I put some of my favourites at the bottom so they’re more obvious to see & not hidden behind the copy!😅 I now realise it puts them in the trash tier 🤣! I’m glad you liked the video tho ☺️
BEEN READING HOW I MET MY SOULMATE AND TO SAY THE LEAST THIS IS LOVE AND IM SOOOOO HAPPY I DID!!! im actually obsesseddd i cant seem to get my face out of my pillow its crazy what these things to do me omg. very sorry for spam comments but i this video is just an amazing source for me
THEY ARE BOTH TOP NOTCH MANGAS. I feel like ‘To say the least this is love’ is SLEPT ON! More people need to read it. This is why I love shoujo mangas, it literally makes you giggle, kick and scream lol. It’s not a spammy comment at all, thank you for commenting and watching. I’m glad you enjoyed the video 🥰
omg don't even get me started lmao but I'll give some romance recommends 1. A side character's love story- about 2 introverts falling in love and coming out of their shell. We also get both the female and male pov. 2. Chihayafuru - romance/sports and its a childhood friends to lovers trope 3. insomniacs after school - about 2 high schoolers suffering from insomnia and getting to know each other as they form an astronomy club 4. My daily report of my witch sempai- about 2 coworkers falling in love (very short, only 2 volumes) hope you find at least one you enjoy ❤
The moment u put maid sama in the Meh tier u absolutely lost me. Not in terms of credibility but just that personal preference wise I know I won’t feel the same with many of these series.
I just couldn’t get into it & I tried… I think I managed to get through half of vol 4 and then I’ve put it on pause💔. Its not bad tho, just not great haha. I think it’s because I read Pink to Habanero first (which is v similar premise just male lead works at a cafe). If you have any recommendations for other mangas you love, let me know as I’m always looking for new ones to try (obvs not Maid Sama 😅)!
I feel like I am the only one who doesn’t really like “Loving Yamada at level 999”? Boy had the personality of a paper sheet, i felt like the manga was mostly about the female lead and her discovering passion for video games, and he was just a side character, everything about him was related to female lead plot line idk
I can completely see where you are coming from! But I didn’t mind that it mostly focused on the female lead & her life. Yamada goes through some character development & surprises us in random chapters. He gives us little but when he does give ITS GREAT! but I’ll agree Akane is the main bee with life, friends, game, family storylines going on! But I loveeee that, as I love her too😍 I’m a sucker for a moody/emotionless ml and bubbly, sunshine, clumsy fl🫣
OK BUT YAMADA 999 CHAPTER 69 THEY TURNED HIM INTO SMTH ELSE hes supposed to have never had a gf before but then suddenly turned into this gigachad or wtv😭😭😭
Love me love me not is my favourite shoujo manga but I guess people have different tastes. I personally prefer the side couple to the main one so maybe hats what kept me going till the end. Honestly it was great 👍
I really enjoyed it at the beginning, but then it got too samey (& I think I just read it a little late in life, if I read it when I was younger I think I would have 100% completed it!). Yesss I wish they developed their story earlier on. I was hella routing for them, & was frustrated when her ex was brought back into the picture (this was when I stopped reading). They did end up together right?🥺
I think you're referring to - 'The reason why two people fall in love ~ Futari de Koi wo suru Riyuu'. I'm not sure if you read manga online, but it's available on the internet if you type in the name of the manga and then read online. But I know some people aren't comfortable with that as it doesn't directly support the artist and author. I will keep a look out, and if I ever see 'Futari de Koi wo suru Riyuu' in an english translated physical copy or added to a legit manga subscription site, I will comment and link it here for you. It's honestly one of my favourites so I hope you manage to read it ❤
To Say the Least, This Is Love ~ Hikaeme ni Itte mo, Kore wa Ai ☺️. If you need anymore manga names, all are listed in the description box & numbered in the order I discuss them in the video. I hope you enjoy any mangas you decide to read!
@@Ashleighsbooklist it doesn’t cover much. It only covers the frustrating parts and ends when the story finally starts getting good! But since season 3 is coming out, it should be fine. I would recommend watching it so that you’re set for season 3
@@blursed2858 gotcha, so many manga adaptations miss great bits. I’ll definitely try find it and watch it as I love all the characters so more content the better haha
the manga with a ton of sa at the star was one of the few shojo mangas i dropped at the first chapter lmao i cant believe no one talks about how bad it is
I don't believe you put ao haru ride so high...... Personal preference maybe but objectively imo that series is painful. The latter half in manga I mean, my favorite one is the first half in manga that the anime covered. Regardless it's not good series imo. Oh anyway what's your opinion on tonari no kaibutsu-kun? And ore monogatari as well.
🤣🤣🤣 I know what you mean. Honestly it’s not good BUT I ate-it-up 😂! It’s like when you eat rubbish cheap chocolate and then you get obsessed with the taste and keep eating it. Or watching a cheesy film that has terrible acting but you love it… THIS was ‘Ao Hara Ride’ for me😅🤣 It was painful at times, I haven’t seen the anime tho! And I actually felt bad for a lot of characters in the cross fire of the two main characters… especially the guy she ended up dating just ‘because she was trying it out’ - tho I guess he cornered her into it… I haven’t read any of them! Would you recommend them?!?
@@Ashleighsbooklist reading your comment I realized maybe I just got beef with the author. I mean the premise of love me love me intrigued me but the execution are bs. Even they fail to make the ML lovable imo, HE NEEDS MORE GROVEL AND WHY HE TAKES WAY TOO LONG TO EVER REALIZE HIS FEELINGS???!!!! The ML for the second pair is slightly better but still a jerk too. I only like the second FL the best, the main FL is way too dum- innocent it's so frustrating how she keeps falling for ML who clearly in love with someone else and even chasing right after getting rejected by him instead of just focusing on moving on. Ao haru ride also irritated me the same way for the frustrating FL and the pathetic lame ML. Yeah maybe her works doesn't suit my taste. I only watched the anime of both of tonari no kaibutsu-kun and ore monogatari. They are my childhood anime, I just wondering for your opinion in case someday I would read the manga but I'm worried my nostalgia bias clouded the actual objective judgement😅 oh do you read bokura no kiseki as well? I read it currently and I love how unique it is compared to usual romance focused shojo manga.
I didn’t realise the author also wrote Love me Love Me Not!! I dropped that manga as I felt the same, I did not like the ML and the characters bored me 😅. Rio took forever to tell Yuna about her feelings and then was so over it when they finally got together! I have to agree that in Ao Hara, the FL does get on my nerves. I’ve never heard of bokura no kiseki, but I’ve just looked it up and it sounds so good. I’ve added to my ‘plan to read’ list. Thanks 🥰 I recon give those mangas a go, the 2 you mentioned that you watched the anime… you never know the mangas might be better. But I understand your fear of it not living up to your nostalgia hype haha
Omg anyway im falling in love with you is getting an anime adaptation and lots of people have said they're disappointed it was picked 🫣 im curious now lol
Really! I didn’t realise this👀 I would definitely recommend you give it a go. It’s not bad, tho not amazing either. It’s just that the main lead is slightly frustrating and I wanted to shake her sometimes 🤣 I’m really curious about the anime, I’d definitely watch that! 🤔 I wonder why ppl are disapponteted it’s been picked up! Let me know if you end up reading it and what you think!!
@@Ashleighsbooklist i think for the reasons that you said, it's not bad but not amazing, plus the fact that it takes place during the pandemic so no one wants to relive that 😆 the sentiment seems to be that it could've gone to a much more unique shoujo series instead of an average one. i'll definitely check out both the anime and manga! also it's SO nice to find more booktubers into shoujo manga!!

1. A side character's love story- about 2 introverts falling in love and coming out of their shell. We also get both the female and male pov.
2. Chihayafuru - romance/sports and its a childhood friends to lovers trope
3. insomniacs after school - about 2 high schoolers suffering from insomnia and getting to know each other as they form an astronomy club
4. My daily report of my witch sempai- about 2 coworkers falling in love (very short, only 2 volumes) hope you find at least one you enjoy ❤
@@chilldaze- these all sound right up my street 😍 thank you❤️
Thank you so so much! Google has been letting me down on recommendations
My pleasure! I hope you enjoy some of the manga recs from the video 🥰
The moment u put maid sama in the Meh tier u absolutely lost me. Not in terms of credibility but just that personal preference wise I know I won’t feel the same with many of these series.
I just couldn’t get into it & I tried… I think I managed to get through half of vol 4 and then I’ve put it on pause💔. Its not bad tho, just not great haha. I think it’s because I read Pink to Habanero first (which is v similar premise just male lead works at a cafe).
If you have any recommendations for other mangas you love, let me know as I’m always looking for new ones to try (obvs not Maid Sama 😅)!
@@Ashleighsbooklistomg girl, same for me
Honey lemon soda is one of my fav shoujo manga but its been so long ... For new update
Its so good and im also DYING for an update😭 Ive only been able to read up till vol 19. I miss Kai and Ishimori 💔
I feel like I am the only one who doesn’t really like “Loving Yamada at level 999”? Boy had the personality of a paper sheet, i felt like the manga was mostly about the female lead and her discovering passion for video games, and he was just a side character, everything about him was related to female lead plot line idk
I can completely see where you are coming from! But I didn’t mind that it mostly focused on the female lead & her life. Yamada goes through some character development & surprises us in random chapters. He gives us little but when he does give ITS GREAT! but I’ll agree Akane is the main bee with life, friends, game, family storylines going on! But I loveeee that, as I love her too😍 I’m a sucker for a moody/emotionless ml and bubbly, sunshine, clumsy fl🫣
OK BUT YAMADA 999 CHAPTER 69 THEY TURNED HIM INTO SMTH ELSE hes supposed to have never had a gf before but then suddenly turned into this gigachad or wtv😭😭😭
OMG THIS CHAPTER WAS WILD! Literally the confidence he had and his vibe did a 180 👀 I fricken looooved it😭
THAT CHAPTER WAS SO UNEXPECTED!! HE TURNED INTO A GIGACHAD 😭😭
Love me love me not is my favourite shoujo manga but I guess people have different tastes. I personally prefer the side couple to the main one so maybe hats what kept me going till the end. Honestly it was great 👍
I really enjoyed it at the beginning, but then it got too samey (& I think I just read it a little late in life, if I read it when I was younger I think I would have 100% completed it!).
Yesss I wish they developed their story earlier on. I was hella routing for them, & was frustrated when her ex was brought back into the picture (this was when I stopped reading). They did end up together right?🥺
I'm so sad I wanted to get the book you said made you cry like a baby but it's only in Japanese print and I don't know how to read Japanese 😭
I think you're referring to - 'The reason why two people fall in love ~ Futari de Koi wo suru Riyuu'. I'm not sure if you read manga online, but it's available on the internet if you type in the name of the manga and then read online. But I know some people aren't comfortable with that as it doesn't directly support the artist and author.
I will keep a look out, and if I ever see 'Futari de Koi wo suru Riyuu' in an english translated physical copy or added to a legit manga subscription site, I will comment and link it here for you. It's honestly one of my favourites so I hope you manage to read it ❤
@@Ashleighsbooklist thank you!
Whats the name of the first manga?
To Say the Least, This Is Love ~ Hikaeme ni Itte mo, Kore wa Ai ☺️. If you need anymore manga names, all are listed in the description box & numbered in the order I discuss them in the video. I hope you enjoy any mangas you decide to read!
Kimi ni todoke is getting a season 3!
Is it!! I haven’t watched the anime, is it a good adaptation of the manga?
@@Ashleighsbooklist it doesn’t cover much. It only covers the frustrating parts and ends when the story finally starts getting good! But since season 3 is coming out, it should be fine. I would recommend watching it so that you’re set for season 3
@@blursed2858 gotcha, so many manga adaptations miss great bits. I’ll definitely try find it and watch it as I love all the characters so more content the better haha
the manga with a ton of sa at the star was one of the few shojo mangas i dropped at the first chapter lmao i cant believe no one talks about how bad it is
I'm glad it's not just me, I was gobsmacked! How on earth it got to 15 vols I'll never know!
Can you not buy Koigakubo-kun stole my first time in paperback?
I don’t think you can! But you can get it as an ebook/digital
3:04
A sign of affection is definitely elite lol
omg it is just top tier isn't it! Have you watched the anime yet? I haven't buy dying to
@@Ashleighsbooklistyes, i have seen the anime. it's beautiful. they are doing a great job.
I don't believe you put ao haru ride so high...... Personal preference maybe but objectively imo that series is painful. The latter half in manga I mean, my favorite one is the first half in manga that the anime covered. Regardless it's not good series imo. Oh anyway what's your opinion on tonari no kaibutsu-kun? And ore monogatari as well.
🤣🤣🤣 I know what you mean. Honestly it’s not good BUT I ate-it-up 😂! It’s like when you eat rubbish cheap chocolate and then you get obsessed with the taste and keep eating it. Or watching a cheesy film that has terrible acting but you love it… THIS was ‘Ao Hara Ride’ for me😅🤣
It was painful at times, I haven’t seen the anime tho! And I actually felt bad for a lot of characters in the cross fire of the two main characters… especially the guy she ended up dating just ‘because she was trying it out’ - tho I guess he cornered her into it…
I haven’t read any of them! Would you recommend them?!?
@@Ashleighsbooklist reading your comment I realized maybe I just got beef with the author. I mean the premise of love me love me intrigued me but the execution are bs. Even they fail to make the ML lovable imo, HE NEEDS MORE GROVEL AND WHY HE TAKES WAY TOO LONG TO EVER REALIZE HIS FEELINGS???!!!! The ML for the second pair is slightly better but still a jerk too. I only like the second FL the best, the main FL is way too dum- innocent it's so frustrating how she keeps falling for ML who clearly in love with someone else and even chasing right after getting rejected by him instead of just focusing on moving on. Ao haru ride also irritated me the same way for the frustrating FL and the pathetic lame ML. Yeah maybe her works doesn't suit my taste.
I only watched the anime of both of tonari no kaibutsu-kun and ore monogatari. They are my childhood anime, I just wondering for your opinion in case someday I would read the manga but I'm worried my nostalgia bias clouded the actual objective judgement😅 oh do you read bokura no kiseki as well? I read it currently and I love how unique it is compared to usual romance focused shojo manga.
I didn’t realise the author also wrote Love me Love Me Not!! I dropped that manga as I felt the same, I did not like the ML and the characters bored me 😅. Rio took forever to tell Yuna about her feelings and then was so over it when they finally got together!
I have to agree that in Ao Hara, the FL does get on my nerves.
I’ve never heard of bokura no kiseki, but I’ve just looked it up and it sounds so good. I’ve added to my ‘plan to read’ list. Thanks 🥰
I recon give those mangas a go, the 2 you mentioned that you watched the anime… you never know the mangas might be better. But I understand your fear of it not living up to your nostalgia hype haha
YAMADA IS SO HOT😭🤚
AGREED🙋♀️
Did you know where can i read Unmei No Hito Ni Deau Hanashi chapt. 21? Still cant find it😭
I can’t find it either!😭 I’ve read up till chapter 20.5, so if anyone knows… PLS HELP US OUT 🙌
Omg anyway im falling in love with you is getting an anime adaptation and lots of people have said they're disappointed it was picked 🫣 im curious now lol
Really! I didn’t realise this👀
I would definitely recommend you give it a go. It’s not bad, tho not amazing either. It’s just that the main lead is slightly frustrating and I wanted to shake her sometimes 🤣
I’m really curious about the anime, I’d definitely watch that! 🤔 I wonder why ppl are disapponteted it’s been picked up!
Let me know if you end up reading it and what you think!!
@@Ashleighsbooklist i think for the reasons that you said, it's not bad but not amazing, plus the fact that it takes place during the pandemic so no one wants to relive that 😆 the sentiment seems to be that it could've gone to a much more unique shoujo series instead of an average one. i'll definitely check out both the anime and manga!
also it's SO nice to find more booktubers into shoujo manga!!
