Quote:yeeet its shoujo manga, ofc there are too many characters and an up-down of the story between the first male and female chara's...
Oh it's not the many characters that bothers me. Just the cliches. The girl falls in love at first sight. The guy not outright rejects her. She misunderstands something. The guy actually likes her, but can't spit it out. Sees the other with someone and misunderstands it. They fight. They make up, realizing what morons they are. And just misunderstanding after misunderstanding.
Not to mention that the heroine is generally portrayed as a total airheaded moron and the guy is always portrayed as a jerk (even if he has a good heart, he's still a jerk)
So I stopped reading majority of shoujo manga because I just hate those damn cliches. Only shoujo I still read is Chitose Etc (although that is being published slowly, I'm thinking of giving up) Say I Love You and Kyou Koi wo Hajimemasu (even if I wanna strangle Tsubaki to get some damn self-confidence)
I don't think I read chihayafuru... the title sounds familiar, though.

PS: Currently, I'm reading a lot of romantic yaoi.
