Shojo Manga Recommendations Thread

[CaptainRukiaKuchiki]

This thread is basically a manga recommendation thread ONLY for Shojo ones. This was made since many people would make a thread everynow and then asking for manga of certain genre(s).

Of course, Shojo manga are of different types too. Some are full of romance, school life and tragedy or mystery and so on.

So when a member wants to ask for recommendations, add another genre/category or an example (name of a certain manga) to allow people to recommend something close to your taste if possible.

And for the people who are recommending, please do the following:

-Name of the manga you recommend
-A little summary
-Where to read it

Please Note: Don't post something like this:

Read Vampire Knight...Kaname is hawt!!!

These posts are useless not to mention sometimes annoying! >.<

Try to stay on topic. That means try not to go into a "manga chat" of some sort and go off topic!

So just post here when recommending and DON'T spam please!

Also no sexual scenes of some sort as much as possible.

Another recommendation ^_^

The One

Summary: Cane Lele was born into the fashion industry. Her mother, Ye Feii, was Taiwan's top model, and her father was also a model, until a tragic airplane crash left Lele without parents.

Therefore it is no surprise that Lele hates the industry, thinking it superficial and unnecessary. Raised by her paternal grandmother, Lele reaches seventeen before she is sucked in by her mother’s sister, Ye Feihung, a fashion agent (and former model) who "convinces" the reluctant Lele to pose.
Lele is adverse to the whole idea, until she sees a photo shoot of popular American model Angus Lanson, and she begins to see modeling as an art form.

When Aunt Feihung's magazine editor invites Angus Lanson to a meeting of all the top fashion ambassadors, Lele is invited along and is curious to meet Angus. She does not know that Angus' twin elder brother, Eros Lanson, is secretly accompanying his brother. This obviously leads to confusion and is the start of a charming story of Lele's goals: Fashion in New York city, becoming a top model, and love?

@Kill: yup so members/guests could get an idea of what the manga is about. You can just copy and paste it from a manga site if you want. :\

[LunarPhoenix]

This belongs more in an all-ages, special category, but one of my favorites:

Yotsuba&! (<-- pronounced "Yotsubato"... means "Four-leaf Clover")



Summary: Comedic slice-of-life starring an adorable little girl (Yotsuba) who's endlessly curious, happily energetic, and hilariously quirky. She interacts with her father and lots of friends she meets along the way (including a set of sisters next door). Bursting with childhood innocence; for older folks, will make you feel young again. Note: it's an easy-going manga... not a progressive, problem-driven one.

Places to Get: Try your library! If yours has a separate wee children's manga section, it might be hiding there!

or MangaFox: Yotsuba&!

Beauty Pop

A short, but cute story. Kiri Koshiba uses her hairstyling talents to help brighten up the lives of girls, but she does so anonymously. On the other hand the Scissors Project (also known as the SP), a group of three boys at school, gives grand makeovers to already-beautiful handpicked girls. Shogo Narumi, the head of the group and a hairstyling genius in his own right, finds himself butting heads with Kiri. To make matters worse, Ochiai, another member of SP, plots to expose Kiri's talents. As much as Kiri tries to shy away from the spotlight, she finds herself drawn into the world of hairstyling.

Switch Girl!!

TAMIYA Nika is a beautiful, outgoing, popular high school girl. She has just the right look, just the right fashions, and is everyone’s friend. What everyone at school does not know is how hard Nika works to keep up this perfect image, and what she is REALLY like at home. When not at school, Nika is a scary, sloppy, tight-fisted girl who wears glasses, an ugly sweatsuit, and has her hair pulled back into unattactive buns. She lays around playing video games and reading manga (ack, sounds like me…). Her attitude is bossy and cranky, and she travels far out of her way to shop where she won’t be recognized.

Every day, Nika “Switches On” with a strict regimen of beautification that involves primping and plucking and careful dressing. When she leaves for school she sparkles and smiles, and no one at school has any idea about her true nature. (Nika’s two sides reminds me of the heroine of KareKano). The only person who knows about Nika’s Switched On/Off modes is her brest friend, who is also aware of the reasons behind the changes.

However, soon a second person finds about about Nika’s personalities - someone who has his own On/Off switch, but in reverse! His name is KAMIYAMA Arata, and he is a recent transfer student. He meets Nika when she is in OFF Mode, and then again at school when she is ON, and quickly makes the connection, much to her horror. However Nika can see that he has his little secret. At school, Arata wears thick swirly-eyed glasses and messy hair that make some bullies think he is an otaku. However, at home, he ditches the glasses and is downright gorgeous! He is just the opposite of Nika, but why?

Now that they know each other’s secrets, they form a strange relationship. Nika blindly continues her habit, changing modes from school life and home life, while he finds her to be a very amusing person the more he watches her antics. Nika has had some romantic failures in her past, Could Arata be the one for her? This is a wacky comedic manga!
