It's kinda neat to hear a fellow woman with a twangy accent talking about my favorite thing (romance manga), haha. You've got a good selection here; i never expected to actually like *Dressup Darling* but it's somehow become my favorite current romance series by far?? I'd probably add *Ore Monogatari!!* to my own version of a list like this, since it leans into the comedy side of things so strongly.

@@razorgirl05 Haha, well, I am glad I could be some form of familiarity for you with the accent 😅 And thanks!! Is that in English printed? I haven't heard of it before.

[@razorgirl05]

@@ChelseaFace_ Ah whoops, I had to double-check the English name since it's a kinda forgettable title: *My Love Story!!* As a series it might not top a lot of best-of lists? idk? but it's just really solid, dependably funny, and the male lead's design differentiates it visually from a lot of other series.

@@razorgirl05 oh yeah I love My Love Story! It's very cute. I only have the first few volumes though due to needing reprints, but it is solid👍🏻👍🏻

Those are amazing recommendation. Those all are great recommendation, but i think for someone who never read Shōjo manga or exclusively read action/adventure/shōnen manga Ranma ½ is one of the better one on the list. It has enough jokes, tension, action and most important (for someone who never read shōjo) enough plot progression (and real background plot aside from romance) to keep you hooked. It gives a good feeling of 'not girly' & 'too romancy' for someone who avoid shōjo because of those reasons. My number one recommendation would be Immortal Rain (Meteor Methuselah). It is set with bigger plot (aside from eventual romance), plentiful of action, good worldbuilding, good characterization, quite long yet short enough to enjoy lightly (11 volumes). It could even pass as shōnen. Other recommendation would be Red River (as you also discuss it in your other video, i'm surprised you don't recommend it), and Tokyo Crazy Paradise, or even Alice Academy. But i feel they're still too shōjo-ish (because it's quite long and the female protags is very emotional) for someome who's not into shōjo yet. Inuyasha is amazing too but i think anyone who's into manga for quite some times knows what Inuyasha is and kinda redumdant to recommend, lol. Good video, i enjoy it!

yes, I appreciate your recommendations as well. The reason I don't recommend things like red river, is because it is already considered a shojo. I was recommending things that are not classified as a shojo that might be a good transitional piece to get into a shojo. Now some of your suggestions might make a good list of "Shojo for Shonen Readers" or something to that effect. Which would be a good video to make. :)
