Thanks all :)) Fifteenth that looks interesting, I might give it a go myself :O MeNaK too! I've added to my very long planned list T_T Selphie64 counted your vote, however it's the first. It needs 5 votes to be added so 4 more to go ;) Here's the list of manga that are 1 vote short of making membership! Can you endorse them? :D
*Akagami no Shirayuki Hime (4) |
 |
| I second Lena and Saver manwha. Just finished reading it a few days ago and I think it pretty much embodies what this club is about. :) Also quick question, are you adding anime or novels to the relations? Because if yes then I nominate Juuni Kokuki and its heroine Youko Nakajima. It's in the same vein as Saver, but I think Youko is an even better character because she is more developed and uses not only her strength, but her smarts too. Also, there is a subtle romance, but because it's so subtle, none of the stupidly annoying romance tropes show up~ I am forever sad that the novels are out of print in English and never did finish the releases. ; w ; |

PinkShippuden (post # 138) tiffanyhng (post # 139) japanda (post # 142) also upvoted Saiunkoku *and being in the nitpicking department....* tiffanyhng also put a vote no. 3 in for Akatsuki no Yona >_< (Sorry, these are among my utmost favorite manga, so I notice when others read them too... for recommendation purposes, 'natch) :) |
 |
Thanks soaring_wings, I counted your vote for Saver :)) No I don't add animes but I do add novels though. However I can't seem to find it on MAL, can you link it? Selphie64 you have to forgive me, I'm old and my eyesight isn't what it used to be xD And you should see what this thread looks like in NotePad (HELL!!) hehehe Wow thank you for hunting those down!! So Nominated by PinkShippuden + 3 votes are now counted! Turns out I had completly skipped tiffanyhng's post 139 (or didn't save properly maybe...) Her votes made Ao Haru Ride and Akagami no Shirayuki Hime pass! \^o^/ A few new nominees have joined the ranks as well :) |

| Oh I heard about 12 kingdoms! Never read it though :) However, it doesn't have a shojo nor josei tag :/ Sorry, this club is for romantic stories without a stereotyped heroine... they're so rare they deserve a club! ;) |

-BlackRabbit- said: Oh I heard about 12 kingdoms! Never read it though :) However, it doesn't have a shojo nor josei tag :/ Sorry, this club is for romantic stories without a stereotyped heroine... they're so rare they deserve a club! ;) It doesn't because it's a regular novel and hence never ran in any of the manga magazine that define demographics for a given series. But I would argue it's aimed at girls since it features many varied and interesting female characters. And the main character is very easy to relate to given her personality and circumstances at the beginning of the story. (And it was written by a lady, although I know that is hardly by itself a valid argument). But I do understand if you feel circumstantial evidence isn't enough to call it shoujo/"for girls". :) |
| |
| I'm flexible (not literally, unfortunately). :) I'm willing to make an exception for it, then answer me this : is the love story prominent? Does it occupy the center stage of the story or at least is it sufficiently developped to be considered one of the central theme? If so, I'll add it :) Thanks xx |

If so, I'll add it :) Thanks xx No, unfortunately, the love story is very subtle and more open to speculation. It's more a political drama set in a fantasy land. Again no, the love story is very much a small thing and depending on how you see it, you could also argue that it's just friendship. Character growth and world building take up the biggest parts of the novels. I think I misunderstood. I assumed all shoujo was welcome regardless of genre. ^^;; |

| Can I nominate Hong Sul from Cheese in the Trap, she's not particularly strong physically but mentally she's extremely clever doesn't instantly fall for the guy, doesn't go around weeping and is generally quite funny. She's no damsel in distress, does find love but doesn't turn sappy for it, she's not particularly great at cooking but she's a little sensitive bout her hair, but she's funny for it. Can i vote for Nobara Sumiyoshi from Beniiro Hero, Tachibana, Meru from Fly High, Suzuki, Hana from Gokuraku Seishun Hockey Club, Ida "Choi Yodah" Choi from He dedicated to Roses, Kyouko Hori from Horimiya, Nakaba from Remei no Arcana I don't know which of these have already been initiated or rejected but hope this helps and hope Hong Sul gets in! |
 |
Thanks, votes counted and Hong Sul added. FYI, the refused ones are un der the "Refused List" tag (bottom of the post). I don't understand why people are so hesitant as to how this works... Are the instructions not clear? Maybe there's too much text and you read diagonally? What confused you? I want this process to as simple as possible so all input is appreciated :) Merci! |
|
| I would like to nominate Chika Sasagami from Kyou mo Ashita mo. She is a really bright and fun girl who says some deep things. She might not be strong physically but is mentally. She is my new fav. |

Recommanded by Winnieish Namaikizakari. |

| I'm nominating Amano Ichigo from Yumeiro Pâtissière and Fujioka Haruhi from Ouran Koukou Host Club. Can I also vote for Misaki who's under the refused list? If not then it's ok ^^ Thank you! |
Signature Under Construction |
| I'd like to place a vote for Yuki Machida from Namaikizakari I saw the nomination for the manga but I didn't see the main character's name is all and my reasons and under the spoilers. [spoiler] 1)Be a damsel in distress If by damsel you mean "Having Sempai help her carry some heavy boxes) then yes. Other than that, no. 2)Be too naive Far from it actually. Didn't scream when Naruse grabs her boob by accident (via someone accidently pushing him), gave back the porno magazine that he intentionally dropped in her head, and doesn't flinch when he kissed her. Why? Because she knew that the dude was just doing it to get a rise out of her (He thinks it'd be interesting if she smiled or made other expressions) She does get flustered when the sempai she's crushing on gets a bit too close (like peering over her shoulder to look at a list she has) or when Naruse straight up hugged her and confessed but I think that 3)Think cooking is the only point of her existence No idea if she can cook but she's an extremely capable basketball manager and party planner (She even went as far as to confirm which resturaunts allowed outside food to be brought during the Christmas party.) 4)Falls in love with a guy just because he can protect her Nope. Does end up in love due to persistancy. 5)Turns helpless and gooey if the guy simply talks to her Nope. Talks to them normally (If anything she just sounds stern and even has a underclassman dreaming of her dominating him) 6)Feels angsty about her outer appearance _all_the_time_ Only one time and it was comparing herself to Sempai's girlfriend. 7)Cries for the smallest things Only cried after Sempai got a girlfriend and it's understandable but hasn't cried over something frivolous since. 8)Gets kidnapped/abused/used easily Hasn't happened but I think she wouldn't go down so easily. |

| Wouhou!!! Thank you guys!! soaring_wings : Thanks a million, all your votes were counted! *bows* missdreamgirl101 : Ouran Koukou is already in the club's relation which means it passed the voting from this thread (a while ago actually ;) I assume Yumeiro is this one? and not the one-shot?? http://myanimelist.net/manga/10386/Yumeiro_P%C3%A2tissi%C3%A8re Please always link your suggestions.  And no, once a manga has been refused, there's no going back; sorry. NaomiItagaki : Thanks, her character page didn't exist when she was nominated hence why her name wasn't there - added it! You don't have to review the 8 rules to upvote a manga but thank you very much for doing so :)) Your vote was counted ^-^ MarieSusan : Wonderful! Vote counted. Thanks for taking the time to read the rules  LJeen : Wonderful, nominated! I left the character spot blank for the time being. Btw, please link your nomination under URL tag - makes my life so much easier! Votes counted ! Kamisama Hajimemashita is OUT!  You don't need to go over the 8 rules when nominating or voting FOR a manga. Only when down voting and only for the rules you think the heroine breaks. KISS - keep it stupid simple! ;) |

Oh ok then...TT_TT there goes my Misaki. |

| I've no more votes I'm afraid, because though I've read some of the other nominated titles, I've somewhat mixed feelings about recommending something for inclusion that I'd hesitate to recommend for reading. :/ But, I'd like to offer for nomination: Mai Taniyama from http://myanimelist.net/manga/158/Ghost_Hunt - Who does admittedly require the odd rescue, but in all fairness, she is new in the business, does her best to fend for herself and others as she learns more, and overall is pretty tough. Christine Langton from http://myanimelist.net/manga/28077/Corset_ni_Tsubasa - At least she has not broken any rules in the first third Possibly also Chica from http://myanimelist.net/manga/41109/Usotsuki_Planet Some 19 chapters in, I've also got high hopes for Strawberry Shin from http://myanimelist.net/manga/73435/Cherry_Boy_That_Girl And though it's not given 'shoujo' as a tag on MAL (possibly because it's a webtoon), it's classified as such on Batoto, so I'm hoping exceptions are occassionally made. ^^ Also, Saiunkoku Monogatari was nominated by Poofle in post 137, not PinkShippuden in 138, so that one's also one vote short of inclusion. |
|
| I'd like to upvote Etou Kizuna from Torikagosou no Kyou mo Nemutai Juunintachi and Moe and Eiko from Tomodachi no Hanashi. (Moe is the literal personification of 'moxie'. Amazing female character who would be a splendid addition to the club :) |
 (Source) |
| Can I be the 5th vote for Nakaba from Reimei no Arcana? :D More votes: Ran from GALS Lys from Hanatsukihime Kyouko from Horimiya Asuka from Kingyo Sou Kizuna from Torikagosou no Kyou mo Nemutai Juunintachi Tsukimi from Kuragehime |
| I just wrote down the ones I agree with that are already in the list~ Akatsuki no Yona/Akagami no Shirayuki-hime Yona/Shirayuki Link is wrong? I agree with Shirayuki. Flower of Evil Eun, See-Wah GALISM Ugajin, Ran Hirunaka no Ryuusei Yosano, Suzume Horimiya Hori, Kyouko Kare Kano Miyazawa, Yukino Namaikizakari Machida, Yuki Orange Takamiya, Naho |
 Oh myyyy! We have FIVE new club relations thanks to all your votes! I don't think this many additions in one shot ever happened before !  Stay tuned for the newly added manga in your Club's Newsletter (if you haven't registered for it yet you can do so here) Also a few new nominees from Selphie64, have you read them? Go on and vote!

| Has this thread died? Keep it up! I'd like to upvote Suzume from Hirunaka no Ryuusei, she's amazing. I just finished the manga and it ended just like I wanted it too, it was a little unexpected! I would also like to recommend Yuri (Suzuki) from Sora wa Akai Kawa no Hotori~ The story is set in a historical time and contains a lot of politics, but it does have a big focus on Yuuri's relationship with Kail. In the beginning of the story, Yuri is of course very confused, being in an unfamiliar world where she can't do a shit. However, she pulls herself together and is actually really, really strong! She's even called the goddess of war, and wants to keep fighting even when Kail tries to keep her safe. A very caring yet strong girl who's loved by the people c: http://myanimelist.net/manga/79/Sora_wa_Akai_Kawa_no_Hotori |
| "I want to protect that smile" |
| Ahhhhh, I need to nominate another one!~ Fuuko from Mujuuryoku Shounen is awesome! She's bold, determined and really doesn't break any of the eight rules. The manga is probably not popular enough for her to ever get enough votes, but I really wanted you guys to know about her. http://myanimelist.net/manga.php?id=1894 |

| "I want to protect that smile" |
| what do you guys think of Sakura from Gekkan Shoujo? she is a lead character and basically the whole story is about adding a twist to the typical shoujo cliches http://myanimelist.net/character/87271/Chiyo_Sakura |
| ~ MALrewrite member ~ Manga, graphic novel & book reviews: http://mikoreads.wordpress.com/ |
| I upvote Sakura! More nominations coming here~ Nike from Soredemo Alice from Heart no Kuni Kyo from Power!! (for some reason, the link wouldn't work) |
| "I want to protect that smile" |
| Downvote Alice from Heart no Kuni no Alice. She fits 1 & 8 in pretty much every route I've read to varying degrees. (the manga she's from is an adaptation of an otome game, and all the spinoff mangas adapt certain routes). She fits most of the other numbers to varying degrees as well. The only thing keeping her from being 100% stereotypical is being tsundere. |

MeNaK said: Can I be the 5th vote for Nakaba from Reimei no Arcana? :D I vote for her too! |
| If it has solution, don't bother; and if it hasn't, why bothering? Do you like manga? http://gunjoteam.com |
Hirunaka no Ryuusei has been added to the club's relations New nominations: Sora wa Akain Kawa no Hotori Mujuuryoku Shounen StormHunter said: what do you guys think of Sakura from Gekkan Shoujo? she is a lead character and basically the whole story is about adding a twist to the typical shoujo cliches http://myanimelist.net/character/87271/Chiyo_Sakura Sorry, Shounen, not shoujo. But since many of you endorsed her I'll add her to the list and see how far she gets. Does the plot revolve around the love story? Alice from Heart no Kuni is refused. I read another of the same serie with that lead, breaks rule 1, 2 and 8 Hanasanaide said: Kyo from Power!! (for some reason, the link wouldn't work) I can't find it... try linking with a / at the end of the link. When the link ends with pounctuation it usually doesn't work but if you end with "Power!!/" it should. chinesecartoonz - Agreed Narumi : She needs one more vote. The person who nominates a manga doesn't count as a "vote". Thank you all for your inputs! :D Sorry I took so long to update the list x_x |

Narumi said: -BlackRabbit- said: Narumi : She needs one more vote. The person who nominates a manga doesn't count as a "vote". But the person who nominated Kou Shuurei was Poofle in post #137, not PinkShippuden (she gave the first vote). So with that, Shuurei has the nomination and five votes, that make her a club member. :) You should have added  Keen eye seriously! Thanks, I'm adding to the Club's relation!! And one more down :) |
|
| Hello! I vote for Makino, Tsukushi (Hana Yori Dango). That girl got beaten up pretty bad so many times, sometimes she can be very stupid but I always admired her spirit. |
| Hi Domyoji! Domyoji said: Hello! I vote for Makino, Tsukushi (Hana Yori Dango). That girl got beaten up pretty bad so many times, sometimes she can be very stupid but I always admired her spirit. Thank you for your vote!! Hana Yori Dango just needs 2 more votes to pass! :D Please don't forget to browse the rest of our nominees in case there's a nother you can up/down vote :) |
|
| I'd like to vote for Yusa Chiemi too (from Junai Tokkou Taichou). ANd I would like to suggest Cane, Lele from The One. http://myanimelist.net/manga/3715/The_One |
Domyoji said: I'd like to vote for Yusa Chiemi too (from Junai Tokkou Taichou). ANd I would like to suggest Cane, Lele from The One. http://myanimelist.net/manga/3715/The_One ^^Seconded! I JUST WANNA SAY I ALSO vote for Moe from Tomodachi no Hanashi which is DEFINITELY not your stereotypical shoujo at ALL. It has really realistic characters and relationships and a focus on female friendships and oh gosh I have so many feelings everyone should read it and I'm glad it was nominated!!/rant More votes for: Sei Tominaga from Kaze Hikaru Yuri Suzuki from Sora wa Akain Kawa no Hotori Chiemi Yusa from Junai Tokkou Taichou I'm also gonna put [http://myanimelist.net/character/28621/Anise] Anise[/url] from Ciper out there because I think she was pretty kickass and I don't remember her doing anything problematic but I also read it a while ago so I encourage discourse lol |
| I vote for Machida, Yuki from Namaikizakari (21) Does Sengoku Mei from Mizutama Honey Boy count? She isn't a stereotypic character because she is a strong female. It's like the roles of the female mc and male mc were switched, which is quite interesting imo |
