BEST SHOUJO ANIME/MANGA TO READ

This is a list and summary of some great anime and manga. There's not much, or any, love triangels in these but it does involve a boy and a girl getting through complications and finally ending up together. Some of the manga are still ongoing, which I really dislike since I end up reading the raw version of the manga to just see what happens. But either way, the "endings" for all of them are super sweet! So if you're looking for more of a realistic version, this might not be for you. However, if you check out my other blog post (http://renacheneveryday.blogspot.com/2015/01/best-realistic-bittersweet-mangaanime.html), it has a few of my favorites real-world-like stories.

Ookami Shoujo To Kuro Ouji (Wolf Girl & Black Prince)
Status: Ongoing
Anime/Manga


Would you lie and make up a boyfriend if you knew you could get away with it? I think YES! The characters are cute and the ending is just superb. There's not much of a plot but it's very love-like about a cold, cruel guy falling for a girl.

However, Sata who gave off the nice-charming feelings guy turns out to be a black prince and used her reasons to blackmail her instead.

Sword Art Online
Status: Ongoing
Anima/Manga


There's two seasons of the anime, and I have to say, the anime is much better. It's a romance between a boy and a girl after they have been trapped in an online virtual game. Makes you want to think twice about ever putting something on your head again! (Honestly, if I were playing the game, I would've probably died in the first hour since my mom's very frantic about talking to people and if she doesn't hear a sound, she'd come and probably unplug everything, leading to my death ha ha.)

This is the manga:

**I can't find the anime of episode one on YouTube, so you'll have to probably use some other site to watch this.

Plot:
On November 6, 2022, the players log into SAO for the first time, and later discover that they are unable to log out. They are then informed by Akihiko Kayaba, SAO's creator, that if they wish to be free, they must reach the 100th floor of the game's tower and defeat the final boss. However, if their avatars die in-game, their bodies will also die in the real world. One of these players is Kazuto "Kirito" Kirigaya, who was chosen as one of the 1,000 beta testers in the closed beta. Since he had previous experience and knowledge of the game, he felt that he could beat the game easily. As a result, he set out to beat the game on his own. As the game progresses for two years, Kirito eventually befriends a female player named Asuna with whom he ultimately falls in love. After the duo discover the identity of Kayaba's avatar in SAO, they confront and destroy him, freeing themselves and the other players from the game.
Upon being sent back to the real world, Kirito learns that 300 SAO players, including Asuna, still have not awakened yet. Following a clue about Asuna's whereabouts in another VRMMORPG called Alfheim Online (ALO), Kirito also enters the ALO's mainframe. Helped by his cousin Suguha Kirigaya, known as Leafa in the game, he learns that the trapped players in ALO are part of a plan conceived by Nobuyuki Sugō to perform illegal experiments on their minds to put them under his control, including Asuna, whom he intends to marry in the real world in order to take over her family's company. After Kirito foils Nobuyuki's plans, he finally reunites with Asuna back in the real world.
Soon after, Kirito plays another game called Gun Gale Online (GGO) to investigate the mysterious connection between it and deaths occurring in the real world. Assisted by a female player he meets in the game called Sinon, he identifies and exposes the culprits, who include some former members of a murderous guild he previously encountered in SAO.
Kirito is later recruited to assist in testing a state-of-the-art FullDive machine, Soul Translator (STL), which has an interface that is far more realistic and complex than the previous machine he had played. He tests the STL by entering a Virtual Reality world created with The Seed package, named UnderWorld (UW). In the UW mainframe, the flow of time proceeds a thousand times faster than in the real world, and Kirito's memories of what happens inside are restricted. However, he is tricked by one of the murderers from GGO and wakes up inside UnderWorld, leaving him unable to remember how he ended up there or to log out, with his real self left in a comatose state.

Kimi Ni Todoke

A refreshing and popular guy after a "creepy" girl? Sounds about fun to me! The main male protagonist isn't a playboy, like most shoujo manga, but rather a sweet, and kind person. He loves helping out everyone and has his eyes on one outcast in particular.

This is the anime: (There are two seasons.)

Papillon: Hana to Chou
Status: Completed
Manga


Who thought having twins would be bad? Fighting over the same boys all the time can't be all that troublesome. Or can it?

This is the manga:
http://www.mangahere.co/manga/papillon_hana_to_chou/

Plot:
The story is about an ordinary (and rather unpopular) girl named Ageha who is constantly overshadowed by her popular and beautiful twin sister, Hana. Because Ageha grew up in the countryside with their grandmother while Hana was raised by their parents, the two girls ended up with drastically different personalities. For the most part, Ageha remains a silent and hidden student in the school, with only one friend (who isn't all that nice either). In fact, nobody even really knows that she is Hana's twin sister, because despite looking alike, there is still a large gap between the levels of their beauty and popularity. When Hana finds out that Ageha has a crush on a cute boy named Ryuusei (who is actually Ageha's childhood friend from the countryside), Hana becomes curious about their relationship. However, after hearing that Ryuusei hates people like Hana, Hana becomes irritated and using her charming personality, actually manages to snag Ryuusei as her boyfriend! Ageha is left with no one, but thanks to the strange (and attractive) new school counselor, and some unexpected allies, Ageha decides to do her best and take Ryuusei back.

Lovely Complex
Status: Completed
Anime/Manga


A touching story with the message that height doesn't matter when it comes to love!

This is the anime:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXNxYr_Fq48

This is the manga:
http://www.mangahere.co/manga/lovely_complex/

Plot:
Lovely Complex is a love story between a boy and a girl in Sakai, Osaka. The girl, Risa Koizumi, is 173 centimetres (5 ft 8 in) tall—much taller than the average Japanese girl. The boy, Atsushi Ōtani, is 156 cm (5 ft 1 in)—way below the height of the average Japanese boy. Because of this, the pair are called the "All Hanshin Kyojin" after a popular comedy duo that has a similar height difference. The difference in their heights is extremely exaggerated (in the opening credits of the anime, for example, the top of Ōtani's head doesn't even reach Risa's chin when it should be approximately level with her mouth.)
During summer school, a very tall student named Ryouji Suzuki (from another class) shows up and Risa immediately falls for him because he is tall. There is a girl that Atsushi likes as well, so Risa and Atsushi decide to put aside their differences and help each other get their love interests. Their efforts fail spectacularly as Suzuki and the girl whom Ōtani had a crush on - Chiharu Tanaka - end up becoming a couple. All is not lost though, since Risa and Ōtani become best friends. As they get to know each other better, Risa's feelings for Atsushi begin to blossom, and her love life gets complicated from there on.
