AhhhhHHH Skip Beat! I love that show!!!!! It's hard to find fans of the shows and the only other fan I know is my sister lmao. And yes, shoujo is a very good genre. I'm reading this manga rn called High School Debut and it's literally the cutest thing on earth ahh

oh gosh yeah, Skip Beat was one of the shoujo series that has really stayed with me!! i read a lot back in highschool but my friend and i were both super into SB! because of how un-shoujo-protagonist she was? like she was so nOT A PURE INNOCENT SPARKLE FAIRY except she totally was underneath the spite and abuse from her asshole ex, lmfao. but her gradual transition from vengeance to really wanting to act for herself i thought was sUCH AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE and also the fact that her acting was never devalued because of her early motives?? like she always put her effort into it and she got better once she was more at peace with herself but she was still treated as a legitimate actress by everyone but Sho and i just. IT'S SUCH A GOOD SERIES!!!!

high school debut sounds sO FAMILIAR oh wow after googling yes, i definitely read part of that one way back when! i think it was still ongoing when i dropped off of following most of the series i was into Because College, but yes, it was also very good. shoujo is just. good for the soul sometimes =u=

Yes yes yes!!!!! I adored the protag because she was just...so...normal? I guess? And her entire story line is such an excellent example for young girls and tbh, her entire demeanor and development has greatly impacted me?? And how I am?? Which I think is excellent because just! While the series is amusing and enjoyable it also kinda teaches you a lesson???? Idk, basically I love and agree with everything you said.

And oohh, you should def pick up High School Debut if you have time!!! I have 2 volumes remaining to buy so I still haven't finished it (if I buy a manga I refuse to read the scantalations lol) but yes, it is a good series <3

yEAH she was really relatable cause she had flaws and was more or less aware of them but kind of didn't care?? until she did. which i just found to be super realistic, exsctly!! aughhh suCH A GOOD SERIES

oh man i used to buy all my manga when i was a smol but alas, i cannot afford them anymore :c i try to watch what i can and not read too many scanlations, or get them from the library when theyre available.... but $10 is just so much for a single volume, that i usually read in 45min or less? it's tough to justify it sometimes. i've been reading more webcomics lately and most of my spare money has gone to supporting things like that c':

Ahh no I feel you on the money part. I don't buy mangas unless I really love them...because $10-12 is something I cannot afford all the time unless I have a gift card or something. I usually get my books/manga off of thriftbooks so now buying stuff doesn't really drain my resources lmao. And ooohhh what webcomics? I'm always looking for new ones to read!

ooh man.... uhhh i really love hotblood! gay centaurs in the west, hooray. and toril's art is just. top notch. i haven't gotten around to reading it yet, but neokosmos is one i want to get into because i've loved shelby cragg's art forever and she's going it with amber rogers. and another one i want to read when i've got time is monster pop!. i recently got into Knight's Errant and Griefer Belt (on tapastic), those i'm actually caught up with lmfao. OH and i've been following the artist Nacht for a long time and they're doing a comic about a japanese transfer student in the US who loves baseball called Crimson Bat that looks like it's gonna be good! that one's one tapastic also. i've seen a lot of people who like some other big ones that i just haven't had time to get through, like omg check please! and a zillion others. oh, i catch up on Ava's Demon every now and then as well. what are your faves??
