I like the style of the manga. There's something raw and real about it. Of course, I do like
shoujo mangas in general.
[rant begins]And I get quite upset when I see all the little tossed off criticisms of
shoujo from so many people. For me,
shoujo is the most interesting of all genres of manga, often giving much more emotional detail and depth than other kinds of mangas. To me, the way people seem so satisfied to complain about
shoujo manga and anime feels like a hidden kind of misogynism, and I don't like it.
If we want to talk shallow, stupid, and unrealistic, how about standard
shounen manga and anime?[/end rant]
Sorry to go off on you, Malkuth, when you were just complaining about drawing style. But you stood in the path of the rant, lol.
