Any guys here read some of the girl manga?
I admit that I will find myself browsing through girl manga. I even get a few of them. |

Shoujo manga huh?
Yep, I read quite a bit of it. I've been picking up Hot Gimmick, Alice 19th regularly and have read most of CSS as well. I don't think it's completely out of the oridinary myself, but maybe I'm just in the minority. |

Wow, a guy reads Hot Gimmick! Score for Hot Gimmick! Maybe I'll start trying to get some of my guy friends to read it now.
 *loves forcing manga down her friends throats at times*

Just make sure they like other shoujo titles first... say like Fushigi Yuugi and the like (yes, especially the whole romance aspect.) You gotta admit, Hatsumi is pretty slow on the uptake when it comes to several things. If guys can find something that grabs their attention, I think they can get into it as well. In my case? I kinda feel for Ryoki here. He's not particularily good with the opposite sex, and I seem to share some of his same insecurities at times.
Maybe I'm just lucky and I felt I could connect on some level. After that, it was just a matter of getting into the story and seeing where it was going. Sure, Hot Gimmick is angsty, but it's fun as well. |

Me too,
In fact looking at my shelf, I have Alice 19th, Fruit Basket, Please Save My Earth, and yesterday I picked up the first volume of Cheeky Angel (Good read). All the Best, Nani? |

Shoujo? I'm nothing but a Shoujo junky and have pretty much been one (pretty much 90% of my collection is Shoujo). Looking at my shelf I have BASARA, Angel Sanctuary, Ayashi no Ceres, Kodocha, and Please Save My Earth.

Heh...Shoujo is all I read it seems like. I own practically all of CLAMP's shoujo works, excluding Wish. If Demon Ororon counts, then that's another.

I love my shoujo manga!!
Living Game, Hana Kimi, I's, Fruit Basket, Chobits and then some 
I mean I like me some nice fightscenes, guns blazing and stuff going boom. It's just that some other times I feel like watching or reading somethings with a little more depth to them. |

Chobits isn't a girls manga. It's a guy's manga.

Well, as your resident chibi Nuriko is a girl, I'll look at the flip side of the coin ^^.
I like a lot of "boys" manga. (no not hentai). I love things like Trigun and Kenshin. Go me^-^. |

Well in Japan, it's not unusual for boys to be reading girl comic, but they wouldn't be caught dead browsing the shoujo section. They tend to read it in private.
Actually, it's the same here in the U.S. I remember one guy was checking out alice 19 at the comic store and he kinda got teased by some of the worker and comic junkie...But then again, I did kind of look down on him because he look like the lonely type that need some romance in his life. Might as well go buy a romance novel. Personally, I seen a couple of chickflicks with my gf before and they bored me, so girly manga would probably not interested me. I even browse through fruit basket and it was okay and somewhat interesting. I rather have some action, some blood, some fast cars, some crude comedy, some fanservice, something exciting....not "girl coming of age" or "magical girl" stuff though:twisted: |

While no guy is able to hold a light up to Nobuyuki's shojo library (Tenchi Masaki's father), i'll admit that i've read a few Shojo titles. Mostly it's just been Fruits Basket, Pita-Ten, D.N. Angel (is that shojo?) and all the stuff they put in the Tokyopop and Viz sneak peak sampler manga. (Hot Gimmick, boys over flowers, alice 19th, hana kimi, under the glass moon, Eerie Queerie, etc) To me, if it's a good manga,i'll read it. Who cares what it's labeled as. Although i'll admit that sometimes it feels a little weird reading titles like those on the bus, but it's not as bad as having true pervs look over your sholder and whistle at some fan service from Full Metal Panic. --_--

Yep, it's serialized in Asuka magazine, and the characters even mention that it's a shoujo manga at some point. |
