- 9.5☆ out of 10☆. bokura ga ita is one of my favorite shoujo mangas ever, it is a classic. I will warn you that it’s frustrating and rollercoaster of emotions, this is an absolute must read!!!
key concepts - childhood lovers, popular boy x shy girl, tragic past, and major second lead syndrome <3
-9.4☆ out of 10☆. sand chronicles made me bawlll, the FL is extremely relatable. Up to the extent you hate her because you see yourself in her, another classic, a must read!
key concepts- first love, suicide, depression, childhood lovers, second lead syndrome
- 8.9☆ out of 10☆. the FL is relatable and this is a manga where they become self-expressed through fashion and the likes of an “unique” lifestyle. So cute, i recommend
key concepts- tragic past, character development, showbiz, cute friend group, introverted boy x pretty girl.
-9.0☆ out of 10. another one of my favorite shoujos, i adore the FL, shes smart and independent without having to rely on the ML. Its so funny and super duper cute <3
key concepts: cute relationship, popular girl x popular boy, envy, character development
(the anime has a different feel from the manga, i suggest starting from the beginning if you want to pick up where the anime left off)
9.4☆ out of 10☆. I LOVE THEIR DYNAMIC!! another one of my favorites, it actually made me laugh out loud. i love the FL (mainly cause i act a lot like her hehe). a must read!!!
key concepts- lovable, comedy, unrequited love, adorable, tall girl x short boy.
8.9☆ out of 10☆. i loved this webtoon, one downside is that it took over 70 chapters for them to finally kiss (LOL). Even then I believe it developed their story very realistically and watching their love bloom *muah* chefs kiss
key concepts- childhood friends, college, unrequited love, and popular guy x unpopular girl.
7.9☆ out of 10☆. this shoujo is good, although the ML did irritate me a bit. but he has major character development!
key concepts- unrequited love, cute, popular girl x introverted guy (although he is popular looks wise),
8.9☆ out of 10☆. this will always be one i re-read, although the anime is a bit overhyped. the manga is very good, idc i like kou more than touma ! :p
key concepts- childhood lovers, tragic past, cute, strong FL, and love triangle
8.0☆ out of 10☆. this shoujo was one where i really really loved the second lead. the ML honestly irritated me LOL, not my favorite of io sakisaka’s work.
key concepts- love triangle, unrequited love, popular guy x shy(ish) girl.
- 8.0☆ out of 10☆. an age gap shoujo, this is another one one where i really liked the second lead rather than the first.
key concepts- age gap, childhood friends, unrequited love, cute relationship
