| What's the worst shoujo anime you've ever seen? How about the worst shoujo manga you've read? (perhaps to serve as a warning to others not to watch/read those) The worst shoujo anime I've seen so far is Kaleido Star. It was just so incredibly boring >_> The worst manga I've read is... anything by Mayu Shinjou, really. I don't know why people love her work so much. The stories are ludicrous and her art is just plain bad (everyone looks like they're squinting all the time XD) |

| I haven't really seen one so bad I want to puke yet but about that person's art. Maybe you don't like it and others may, it's just a matter of taste. |
for me..? its.. " this ugly yet beautiful worLd " :P.. peace for those who love it!.. |
| I haven't read or watched any of bad shoujo out there....so far none of them that I don't like. And I don't know which demographic of This Ugly yet Beautiful World is in, but I guessing that it fits in the Shounen category. |

| worst one I've read is Uwasa no Midori-Kun. I have never been so annoyed by a female character |
| hot gimmick i didn't really like it >__<' |
 |
| Uhm....probably would be 'Ichiban!!' |
| Ren-ai Shijo Shugi I try to give it a chance... but no! i dislike it so much |

Peach Girl and Full Moon (I hated the fillers, Mitsuki was annoying, most of the episodes felt like a waste of time, I'm trying the manga now though since I heard it was better). Yeah!! Mistuki is like, too naive and weird. And I don't really like Nadeshiko Club(I didn't even bother adding it on here). The art is bad and the story is totally boring! I only bothered looking at it because it was reverse harem. |
 |
| For me as far as manga I've read, I'd have to go with Hot Gimmick. I only read the first volume, but I just didn't really like where the plot seemed to be heading with the main character being black mailed into being her neighbors slave. I really liked the art style of the covers though, which is why I decided to read the manga in the first place. |
| Hot Gimmick seemed to be interesting, but it end up being boring. =.= SOLD OUT is boring too =.= Hana Yori Dango, i swear, i tried to read/watch so many times, but i REALLY don't like it. >< |

Mistuki is like, too naive and weird. D< the point was that that's only what she told them. She wanted eichi to hear here, he was looking down on her from heaven and before he left he told her to follow her dream. the manga is better with fewer fillers. anyway the shoujo I can't stand is Mamotte! Lollipop, Absolute Boyfriend and oh dear god Tail of the Moon sucks EPICALLY. |
 |
| peach girl, i tried to watch and the first episodes were nice.. but after that it was always the same!- boring oh, and the art is bad too. |
| I haven't come across anything bad yet in my opinion if I do then well I'll be sure to post in this thread. :D |
| HEY! |
| A Wise Man Sleeps and Love Master A are one of the most boring shoujo manga, IMO. I didn't like I.O.N by Arina Tanemura much either. |

The stories are ludicrous and her art is just plain bad (everyone looks like they're squinting all the time XD) Same here. And imo it's a shame such an awesome seiyuus voiced main characters in anime adaptation of Shinjou's Kaikan Phrase ;o; I didn't like Hot Gimmick either (also Teacher's Pet by the same mangaka sucked). Story was so-so, but characters... OMG... just wanna kill them all. |
     |
| well, for me the worst manga i read is Dakedo happy paradise, is so borionmg and I think its a "light copy" of fruits basket. The worst anime I ever watched is magic knight Rayearth second season. |
Y-elf said: peach girl, i tried to watch and the first episodes were nice.. but after that it was always the same!- boring oh, and the art is bad too. yep it reminded of a soap opera on like nbc or abc or whereever, it's like NOOO. |

| The worst shoujo anime is by far Piano. It's just so painfully boring. Worst manga is a little harder for me since My lowest scores are all pretty much painfully boring/cliche oneshots. (including titles like: Neverending Heart, Sold Out!, Call me Princess) But i guess some of the worst shoujo i've read that aren't oneshots or one volume would have to be Othello and Mint na Bokura. |
| I usually forget the shojo I really dislike because if it's THAT trite or the artwork is bad I stop reading it buuut... I take issue with Hot Gimmick, because it fooled me. I was confused about who was the love interest and I thought the ending had a horrible message. Also, I am sick of gender benders. If I read YET ANOTHER synopsis beginning "She thought she could have the life of a normal high school girl, unnnntiiil her father/uncle/grandfather/obsession with a man sent her to the local all boys school!!! What will happen next???" I swear I've read that story a billion times. Another one I thought was bad was Absolute Boyfriend. Same with chobits... The robot lover motif is gross. |

I feel the same way, the characters in Hot Gimmick just made me weep. I really like the magaka's art through, but I can't read any more, Hatsumi is far too annoying. As for anime, Tokyo Mew Mew, too much filler and Ichigo's voice is horrible!! The manga is better (the two volumes that I've read of it) edit: Oh and Ichigo's infatuation with Aoyama is also quite annoying, I hope the manga doesn't portray her infatuation in an equally annoying way.... |
 |
| worst for me was brilliant magic. it was so bad, the girl was such a wishy washy wimpy character |

usagibunnymoon said: I have to say I loathe Fushigi Yuugi both anime and manga.I hate anything by that creator too.She just seems to recycle characters,and themes.It's so annoying.The one character I liked from that creator is Hotohori...and I dunno why. I feel that many Shoujo mangas today are extremely explicit...I mean,it's like hentai!Or ecchi.Ans the characters are always raped or something,or must have a boyfriend.And they make little girls so pervy or overgrown.It's annoying. Either you're my twin sister or my sister XD I agree with everything you said though I find Absolute Boyfriend to be alot worse and more offensive than Fushigi Yugi. The notion of "Get yourself a botfriend anyhow" and "you can f*** a doll but not stay single" is sick. I hope I'm not offending any fan here but that's my opinion and I'm entitled to it. Backstage Prince is one of the mangas which I'd call a waste of time. |
| Hot Gimmick - it was the one of the worst shoujo titles that I have ever had the misfortune of reading. Poor Shinogu suffered the entire time while a jerkoff like Ryoki made off with Hatsumi (she had no damn backbone to begin with, so, it was expected she'd choose him, but still!). I felt like punching/hugging Azusa the entire time - he was so confusing! To be honest, I would have much rather read about Subaru and Akane's budding relationship - at least they were semi-normal. Plus, Subaru was so cute :D |
| So far I haven't watch or read something shoujo i disliked maybe some got a little tiring after some plots that go in circles and goes back to the same point like it happens at some points in Hana Yori Dango and Parfait Tic. |
| i may have read many bad shoujos but the worst so far, the one whose name just popped into my head when i read this topic's title was Love Monster this manga was memorably BAD imo, i couldnt believe all the good recommendations for it o_o the plot was horribly repititive and boring.. i cant believe i was able to finish it >_< |
| Okay, I need to say that the worst shoujo anime i've discovered is Nurse Angel Ririka SOS. I love 90s mahou shoujo... but i can't even bring myself to finish the like 5th episode. maybe not the worst shoujo manga, but i thought Switch! was pretty awful. i'm a huge fan of student/teacher stuff but it just dragged on FOREVER.( even though the whole thing is only 11 chapters) |
| I hope Aarana doesn't read this... I can't stand mahou shoujo mangas\animes xD I wouldn't say they're bad but they're definitly not my thing. I don't know if Kobato is a mahou shoujo because I love it. |
| Worst shoujo anime for me is Special A -- most of the humor and romance fell completely flat for me :/ For manga, I'm another in the "Hot Gimmick is horrible" camp. The art sucked me in, but once I realized how the story was going, I couldn't deal with it anymore. H20 (manwha) was awful too. It skipped from stupid drama to stupid drama and the characters' actions rarely made sense. Also, any shoujo manga that draws out a short storyline with endless drama is bad in my book; I started out liking both Hana-Kimi and Hana Yori Dango, but gave up because of all the useless drama prolonging a story that should've ended long ago. |
 [avatar from Tales of the Abyss] |
| The irony about Special A is its name becuse it's anything BUT special! I'm at chapter 72 and yet I have no feeings for this manga. |
| Dekiai Paradox. God, how people can create such a hopeless stuff? No comments... |
| |
| I recently read They too , love. defenitely the worst long-ish shoujo i've read. It took me forever to bring myself to read the next chapter. Doubt! was pretty bad too... not AS bad though. |
Senna said: Also, any shoujo manga that draws out a short storyline with endless drama is bad in my book; I started out liking both Hana-Kimi and Hana Yori Dango, but gave up because of all the useless drama prolonging a story that should've ended long ago. Agreed. I'm about one-third through Hana Yori and wondering how the hell they'll drag this on for 20 more volumes. |
|
| So I'm not the only one who hated peach girl:) And funny thing- I know that Hana Kimi is very popular... but for me it was just soo stupid... |

I don't know if Kobato is a mahou shoujo because I love it. I read it ;_; *sniffle* *cough* ah well. Im in the Hot Gimmick Haters traing. I didn't particularly like it, and threw it away first chance I got. OHH!! I hate peach girl too. That got put into my "never touch again" pile. But the one I loath the most is Haou Airen. >< 9 wretched volumes leading up to the worst ending in history. She really drills the knife in more by putting oneshots from this series in all her other series. I only read it cause i love her, but now i had to put it as the worst rated on my list. |
| I hate Mayu Shinjo's manga, I've read some, and disliked them all. Then Yoshizumi Wataru's manga, Kimi Shika Iranai is the worst. Also an anti-fan of Hot Gimmick. And also hate Fushigi Yuugi and Zettai Kareshi, though some manga of Watase Yuu are good. I don't watch anime that often, so I can't think of a shoujo anime I didn't like xD |
 |
| I hate Red River, Tokyo Boys and Girls, Mermaid Melody, Mamotte! Lollipop, Miracle Girls, Doubt!!, The World Exists for Me, Honey and Clover, and Haruka: Beyond the Stream of Time. I could barely get through Red River- it was just that boring. >_<;. The same goes for Mamotte! Lollipop. As for Miracle Girls, I was able to finish it- but I never really got into it. >_<;. Doubt!! was just plain awful- not only was it somewhat boring, but it was really superficial. Tokyo Boys and Girls was just so BORING, and I just couldn't get into Mermaid Melody. The same goes for The World Exists for Me. As for the last two.. they're very painful reads. I know that I'll probably have a bunch of people disagree with me, but those two are a chore to read. So much, that I skip them in Shojo Beat. >_<; |

I agree. zuziako said: So I'm not the only one who hated peach girl:) And funny thing- I know that Hana Kimi is very popular... but for me it was just soo stupid... It says everywhere that ouran fans will enjoy Hana Kimi.... WRONG! Honey and Clover was okay for me. It wasn't as GREAT as what many made it seem. I don't like Ai Moringa's mangas. She's not funny, full stop. |
| I'm adding Himegimi no Tsukurikata to my bad hit list. Here's some very general, probably not too spoiler comments, but might as well be safe. |
shinkeikaku said: I'm adding Himegimi no Tsukurikata to my bad hit list. Here's some very general, probably not too spoiler comments, but might as well be safe. I agree. The heroine is attracted to one of the guys onetime and treat them as family in another... kinda vague. |
| I'm probably the only person in this community who feels this way, but I can't stand Nana. I didn't like the art, and Hachi irritated me to no end. I also wasn't fond of Hot Gimmick. I continued to read it, hoping that Ryoki would change, but he remained a jerk all the way through. |

The more I post, the more I see people I have things in common with xD Anyways, Nana was too dramatic for my liking and I only picked it up because everyone else was praising it. I should have known that I wouldn't like it because I didn't like Paradise Kiss. |
| "Full Moon (I hated the fillers, Mitsuki was annoying, most of the episodes felt like a waste of time, I'm trying the manga now though since I heard it was better)." I agree with what she said on the first page. People were constantly telling me how great this one was. I was pretty bored. Oh, and Honey and Clover. It was way to "drama-ish" for me. Almost depressing at times. BORING. |
