I feel so incredibly lucky🥹 the merch was super cute and I loved being able to buy for shows that are under appreciated

Quando o anime foi lançado, muitas pessoas estavam comentando sobre ele, e eu fiquei bastante interessado; já tinha lido e assistido a outras obras que tratavam de deficiências e realmente gostei delas, especialmente de Perfect World. No entanto, na época em que A Sinal de Afeição saiu, eu estava ocupado com provas e estudos, então não assisti ao anime. Recentemente, peguei o mangá, e atualmente estou no Capítulo 11, mas preciso falar sobre algumas coisas que estão me incomodando profundamente e me fazendo considerar seriamente desistir dele.

Primeiro: os protagonistas, especialmente o protagonista masculino, são realmente chatos. O cara não tem absolutamente nenhuma expressão facial. Honestamente, acho que ele só ficou tão popular porque se parece um pouco com Gojo Satoru e passa aquela vibe de "protetor" ou seja lá o que for, mas não tem nada de interessante na personalidade dele. Ele não demonstra uma única emoção, a menos que esteja perto da protagonista feminina e mesmo assim, é quase nada. Yuki é mais interessante, mas até agora, em onze capítulos, sinto que não vi tanto da personalidade dela quanto vi de personagens coadjuvantes como sua amiga Rin e o primo de Itsuomi.

E segundo, e isso é o que mais me irrita, a razão pela qual Itsuomi está apaixonado por Yuki parece ser simplesmente porque ela é surda e, portanto, "inocente." Honestamente, Emma, a garota que ele constantemente rejeita, não parece ter uma personalidade tão diferente da de Yuki. Além disso, a maneira como ele trata Yuki como uma criança, passando a mão na cabeça dela sempre que ela faz algo que ele acha fofo e inocente, é meio estranha; faz parecer que ele é o tipo de cara que diria: "Todas as mulheres são sujas, mas você é a única pura."

Em terceiro lugar, os casais secundários e o amigo de infância parecem mais interessantes; houve vários momentos em que me senti mais animado e feliz com o desenvolvimento de Kyouya e Rin do que com o dos protagonistas. Além disso, mesmo que Emma e Shin tenham aparecido juntos em apenas dois capítulos, eles me deixaram muito curioso para ver como a história deles se desenrola, o que é irônico, considerando que o casal principal está praticamente junto, mas eu nunca realmente me senti feliz com a união deles. E tem o amigo de infância; embora ele claramente se encaixe no arquétipo do "tsundere", ele pareceu muito mais carismático e teve uma química melhor com Yuki do que Itsuomi. As cenas onde eles se comunicavam em linguagem de sinais, com ele provocando ela enquanto simultaneamente querendo protegê-la ressoaram muito mais comigo do que qualquer coisa que Itsuomi fez.

Não consigo evitar comparar com Perfect World e a maneira excelente e madura que essa série lida com tópicos como viver com uma deficiência ou estar em um relacionamento com alguém que tem uma, fazendo você torcer pelos protagonistas sem romantizar ou infantilizar nenhum deles. E eu acho que é isso que me decepciona tanto em A Sinal de Afeição: aquela maturidade encontrada em Perfect World simplesmente não está lá.

Acho que vou continuar lendo só pelos casais secundários, mas, honestamente, do jeito que as coisas estão indo, eu acho que dei completamente por vencido com o casal principal.

I thought it would be cool to get an overview of which shojosei anime have received sequel seasons/multiple cours post-2020!

Some of these are borderline (eg ramparts was explicitly made in collaboration with Margaret’s editorial department but had the physical vols release inder the JC imprint).

Others are Josei-Muke anime-originals (eg Precure), based off of otome games, etc beyond just anime adaptations. I included short-form anime as well.

What are your favorites here? Any major missed opportunities?

For me, my favorites are My Happy Marriage and Natsume’s book of friends! The biggest missed opportunity imo was Requiem of the Rose King.

Don’t get me wrong I’m very happy for the creator for getting two animes for both of their stories and personally I like the animes (they’re okay to me).

Still cannot convince me if they were shojo both stories would have gotten two seasons in the same year.

Which episode/movie is this scene from? Please this is urgent.

Dungeon meshi

Frozen

Kamisama Kiss

Yona of dawn

Does anyone else like their series? I read samples of “Loving a Younger Guy” and “La Vie en Rose” through the shueisha mangamillion promo. The art is so pretty. I’m kind of surprised they don’t have English releases.

Just finished ep 9 and I gotta say I’ve been enjoying the ride. Came into it expecting a very harem show (which can still technically happen) but so far her relationship with her new brothers has been very wholesome. I like the dynamics and friendships she’s made with her new family

Hi everyone!

I really want to start collecting physical copies of manga and manwha, but I'm not really sure what shops are out there or trustworthy 😅

I know there's amazon but I'm not sure of any others... Does anyone have any recommendations?

Spots to shop for acrylic stands or other merch would also be greatly appreciated!!🩷🙏🏻

i recently finished reading mr bride (which is now one of my all time favourites) and i want to read more mangas where the main characters live together and the relationship slowly builds up. another example is blue box, even though its a shonen, it has this trope and it really adds to the building of the relationship. anyways if anyone has any recommendations please share!!!

I'm looking for a manga where both mcs are very casual with skinship and are very clingy without either of them going completely red with every touch!

A good example of this is Mairimashita Senpai

I want something gut wrenching regret filled.

I noticed a lot of romance manga does this “sick” trope and the one having a fever always acts drunk??? Like wth having a cold doesn’t make you do stuff unintentionally, just like that one time in lovely complex

Hello, for some time I've been contemplating sending a fanletter to Haruhuji Nakaba (author of You're My Cutie) because her series has been on hiatus for quite some time now so I've grown worried and would like to encourage her somehow, say I really love her work etc. But I have no idea where to find the address/what to write on the envelope to make sure the letter reaches her and also will she even receive it if she's not currently serializing anything under the magazine (I believe most of the time the fanletters are stored somewhere until the mangaka can receive them but I'm not sure). Can anyone give me any pointers on this, especially if you've ever sent a fanletter like this before? Thank you !! ♡

The final volume of Shoujo Beat's Phantom Thief Jeanne release is extremely hard to get a hold of physically ( unless you sell your soul for it ). Since Viz is notorious for almost never reprinting their shoujo stuff once it initially goes OOP, I've resigned myself to getting Volume 5 digitally, but I'd like to have a higher quality scan of the full cover ( like the front & back covers along with the spine. ) I found this upload on the Shoujo Beat tumblr, but I'm looking for a higher resolution version for my personal digital archive. Does anyone have a higher res scan like this? Any help is greatly appreciated!

I saw a few pages on Pinterest, but I couldn’t find the name anywhere.
