What are you thinking asking a question like that at mangago, mother of all yaois, fudanshi, and fujoshi!? Obviously, yaoi has a rating of 1 billion while shoujo is at 1 or rarely 2.
Yaoi. :D Btw you have a great pic. <3
Depends on my mood. But actually, I got into yaoi because I was tired of the shoujo cliches. I think BL is less cliched because the gender roles are less restricted
calm down. When someone asking, just try answer it properly. (▰˘◡˘▰)
Yaoi is LIFE.
LIFE is Yaoi.
An Old Man on Yaoi is LIFE!

as for me, shoujo, shounen and yaoi are in the same rating. i prefer seinen a lot more, actually but they are kind of few so. and yeah, it cannot be helped that this site has more yaoi titles and so fujoshis flock this place
Yaoi Most shoujo is cliche. Yaoi will at least for the most part have hot man sex. Actually the best is fantasy Shounen Ai that's my jam.
Actually, it totally depends on mood. Yes, I am addicted to Yaoi but there are times when I miss the shoujo magic. Thanks to a handful shoujo mangaka who dare to break the shoujo stereotypes I still go back to shoujo, time to time. And I still keep in touch with josei regularly. Unlike shoujo, josei never gets boring, for me.
Yaoi is more sexually explicit & thus of course very appealing to a girl like me. But that is not the only reason why I like it. I also have my times when I crave for a pure fluffy shounen ai without sex. Just like that sometimes even explicit yaoi isn't enough for me & I find myself picking up something hardcore, pwp & porny to read OR even hentai sometimes.
Right now I do prefer yaoi. But If you ask me the same question while I am on my shoujo binge, the answer might be different.
Depends on the mood.
But I guess still prefer yaoi ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Agreed (๑•ㅂ•)و✧. I don't really have a preference for one over the other. As long as the art, plot, & characters have interesting features, it doesn't matter whether it's shoujo or yaoi.
Though I will admit ~ as a female reader, it's easier to be judgmental of the heroines in shoujo manga because I project my own ideals unto their characters. As a result, I usually go for strong/strong-minded heroines. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
In the end, I'm more picky about which shoujo manga I take up, but I like yaoi & shoujo equally, & I prefer seinen overall.
Regardless of yaoi being more sexually explicit (and is therefore more awesome), which do you prefer reading? Yaoi or Shoujo?
