Of course its ok
 
Dont ask us if its ok. Do whatever you want. No one will care. Personaly I dont care if you like sounen or shojou or both. I dont even care if your gay or straight. Which, is not to say you are. Im just saying that I except everyone. Im sure a girl would be happy to date a sensative guy.

As for me, I dont really see what there is to like about Shojou. Maybe Im missing somthing but it seems kinda boring to me. I watched Sailor Moon, but that seemed almost action oriented to me. Sure theres romance but they fight in almost every episode. Other than Sailor Moon, I have only seen one other Shojou anime that I have liked. I LOVE Maison Ikkoku!!! It's waaay to funny!!!! Other than that I havent seen anything else thats intersted me. I've heard Fruits Basket is good. So maybe I will try that. I probably wouldnt watch a Shojou unless it was funny or more action oreinted (as far as shojou goes) I dont really like romantic cutsey type stuff though.

I totally agree with everything you said.

Cattieee.
 
It sure is. I know lots of guys, straight&gay, that love shojou. My friend's favourite anime is Ouran High School Host club (as is mine<3) and he doesn't have a problem telling people he loves shojou.
Everyone likes different types of genres. It's only natural =]

Of course it's okay for guys to like Shojo! In fact, some girls even rate guys that like Shojo as high on their potential boyfriend list. lol! As for me, Shojo manga is a plus!! I like Shonen too, though. Really, I just like all manga... except the dirty ones. And, yes, they really do exist. XD

As long as you don't start squeeling whenever you see a bishounen enter the scene, your good.:vsign:

I really like all kinds of manga/anime, if you're an anime lover it doesnt matter what kind of anime it is you whatch, of course there are people that simply dont like love stories, that find them boring or whatever; and there hare some others that think that a guy must whatch only anime with action, blood and violence... wrooong, a real guy whatches what he feels like when he feels like it whithout being worried about labels.

Demysia 06-09-2007 09:49 AM

I think it's perfectly fine for a guy to like Shojo, in fact, more guys should watch it xD

pichu0123 06-10-2007 07:17 PM

I mean it's cool:cool: I'm tomboyish... XD but I love some Shoujo. And I know many boys who likes Shoujo:vsign:

Yes, it's totally ok!

My best guy friend likes shojo and I love him all the more for it. Some of my other guy friends make fun of shojo :\

YukiCross 06-11-2007 04:37 AM

DURRRR! course its ok 4 guys 2 love shojo manga!....it shows, to me, that they arent afraid 2 show what they like. and i personally like more boy stuff than girl stuff.....born and raised a tom boy:D
so its kind of a silly question 2 ask.....the answer is definatly yes its ok.

QueenEmeraldis 06-11-2007 03:05 PM

It's perfectly fine for a guy to like shojo!!! If it's a good anime watch it i say. I am a absolute shonen freak. that is my preference in anime. The darker and sicker the betta.Ya like it? then watch it hun!!!!

AkaiNeko 06-11-2007 03:13 PM

Hmm thay is not very good type of manga... Better is Yuri :) Hehe wiadomo dwie cudowne kobiety to calkiem niezle co nie :vsign:

Himechan 06-11-2007 03:29 PM

What would be wrong with a guy liking shoujo? Shoujo tends to be funnier and a little more in-depth than some of the shounen shows around.

And girls like shounen. Why not the other way? I'm a girl who started with shounen then realized there was a difference between shounen and shoujo. ^^;; Didnt know there was one for a bit...

That'd be like saying "only girls can wear skirts and dresses" ... Maybe that's not the best example, unless you're a visual kei - er.

Uhm, I cant think of a good analogy right now. Maybe I'll edit this later when I think of one.. ^^;;

AkaiNeko 06-11-2007 03:36 PM

That is not realy true but most of guys not very like shonen. After all I am from poland and that is point view our country. Co prawda to prawda :mtongue:

narutoluvr 06-11-2007 03:39 PM

i think it is fine because i like shounen and that is guys so yeah i think it is fine

AkaiNeko 06-11-2007 03:42 PM

You can have your own opinion but I what is fun in shounen that is what I can't understand:confused:

ILOVEJAPAN 06-15-2007 03:09 PM

Im sorry, I'm not really sure I understand the question. If your asking why anyone should like shounen....well, I like it for plot, humour, violance, gore, and horror.

xXSayaXx 06-15-2007 04:43 PM

of cource its ok,any guy can like anything a girl likes! hey,i read all tha guy manga i just love all the voilence and stuff.:D just read as much as u like it doesnt matter wat we think its all u ^_^ ;) :cool: :vsign:

Acidreptile 06-15-2007 09:42 PM

I guess there should not be "Guy things" and "Girl things".If you like something,just go for it.

Paramore 06-15-2007 10:33 PM

Noooo wayyy! there's nothing wrong with a guy liking shoujo, i mean i'm a girl and i like shonen and shoujo, there's absolutley nothing wrong!!!! all the more to ya for being a little more open-minded than a LOT of people.

SweetFullMoon 06-16-2007 07:52 AM

I believe shojo is a girl
I will check the shojo beat book for you
My name is Moon and i am 16 year old
it nice to meet you all and i hope we become good friends:)

Chad 06-16-2007 02:57 PM

I'm a guy, and I like shojo...but I don't really like most shonen(I prefer drama and romance over action and violence)

I may be strange, but their's definitely nothing wrong with any guy liking shojo.

tohruchan7 04-06-2011 11:49 PM

OMG YA LIKE TOTALLY WRONG!! *rolls eyes* who cares its totally totally rad that you like shojo. Besides im a girl that likes shonen too soo it dont matter bra.

magicalgirlj 04-21-2011 10:36 AM

Of coruse it's ok for guys to like shoujo. I am a girl and I like yuri and bishoujo games

tokusatsufan 09-01-2011 08:58 AM

Of course it is. I like a couple of shojos.

GodzillaRadio 09-09-2011 06:55 AM

I liked "Tenshi nanka janai" and "Kodomo no omocha"...lol

morne90 09-18-2011 06:58 PM

As for watching shojo over metropolis shojo, I can tummy redemptive fun program similar Fruits Baskets, but I honourable can't resist reading shojo manga. My brain right won't brook it. I get megrim right measuring one tender of Sailor Idle
