Discuss your favorite shoujo titles, and please give a brief description what you like about them.
One of my current favorites is Skip Beat! by Yoshiki Nakamura.
It's about a girl named Kyoko who dropped out of school and moved to Tokyo with her "true love", Sho, who wants to become a singer. She pretty much just supports him and cleans up after him, but then she finds out that he was just using her as a maid. Kyoko loses it and swears to get revenge on Sho by becoming a bigger celebrity than him.
I didn't like it too much when I read the preview in Shojo Beat. I didn't like the art style, and I didn't think it was very funny either. But I ended up reading it at Borders, and after getting through the first volume, I was hooked. I got used to the art style, and actually, I think it fits the characters' personalities well. Plus it's hilarious once you get toward the end of the first volume. I think Kyoko is a pretty relateable character, and the way she acts out her emotions is so funny, and so are her fantasy ideals about life. Romance is pretty good too, once you get to volume 4. It's hilarious, sweet, and original. One of the best shojo I've ever read.
