Even though i jumped and buried myself in the shoujo pit already I love this video series concept to expand my shoujo tbr until it collapses under it's own weight

When I was a teen Case Closed was on Adult Swim at 4am, and with the VCR broken: the only way I could watch it was by setting my alarm clock to physically wake up that early. But then I'd see the tail end of the inuyasha episode that aired at 3:30 am and that was interesting so i'd wake up even eariler. good thing this happened in the summer and i didn't have commitments like school i needed to be awake for.

Hi, Colleen! I wanna thank you for inadvertently introducing me to a lot of great Shoujo titles. Since watching your videos, I've read "Sand Chronicles" and "Waiting for Spring," which I liked. I also just finished "From Far Away," and I'm 16 and a half volumes into "Snow White with the Red Hair," which I like even more! I have "Madame Petite" in my PTR, and as an "InuYasha" fan myself, "Red River" looks badass, so I guess on my list it goes! 😂 What I'm saying is, since you've stated your goal for the channel is to get people to read more Shoujo, I thought you'd wanna know that for at least one person, (and others, I'm sure) you've succeeded. It has been an absolute joy. I'll keep tuning in. Have an awesome day! 😊

Same with Bokura no Kiseki, I remember when it started coming out, it looked so interasting and I put in on my "to read" list but never really made the effort to read it.

This is rather random, but I'd love to see you explore villainess regressor/rebirth manhwa. I know it's not exactly the brand, but I do really think you'd enjoy the genre! Especially Mother's Contract Marriage, Crowning a Spoiled Prince, and Villains are Destined to Die . All of these are on Tapas. I think Shoujo (or more so josei?) has shifted more to webcomics than physical comics nowadays. I think the isekai genre in manga has gotten kind of stale in some ways as they've mostly become power fantasies even in the more female-oriented demographic category, but for manhwa they tend to have a different spin on them that very much more about bonds, politics, and survival. I've read quite a lot of them and while all have similar beats, they all tend to have pretty different takes on characters and situations. Some are even more in line with fluffy slice-of-life. It's fascinating and something I'd love to get your take on it!

I need to get to Chihiyafuru. It’s on my mental list and I haven’t gotten to it yet. I don’t necessarily like Haikyuu much, but I really wanna give Chihiyafuru a shot. I’m putting down both Usotoki Rhetoric and Life down as future planned reads. They both sound very interesting to read. I’m currently on episode 3 of A Sign of Affection. I like the romance and the animation, but I’m troubled by the disability rep. I grew up knowing that learning aides are available for those who need it, and so far I don’t find that touched on much when I was watching the college segments which bugged me. Maybe Japan has different ways to go about that type of transition but I would like to learn it. I admire Itsuomi’s want to learn and understand Yuki. I hope later parts explore Yuki better or maybe the manga does better. As it stand currently, it borders on infantisation which most disabled find uncomfortable to a degree. Sorry if this comes off as a criticism, I was just pointing out my concerns. I am still interested and excited about the anime. Sorry.

When watching it, I made the mistake of reading the crunchyroll comments on some of the Chihayafuru anime...so many people were like... "sHe CriEs tOo mUcH" B*tch please...They guys in Haikyuu cry a lot too!!! They can suck it.(Not that I mind that they cry a lot in Haikyuu, just calling out the hypocrisy. There are plenty of shonen where the main characters cry a bunch.) Also have been enjoying Usotoki Rhetoric! Iwai gives me the same vibes/energy as Yato from Noragami. 😂😂
