Not looking at the pink elephant.
I am so behind on my dissertation, it's not even funny but instead of working on that like I should be (lalala, not listening~) I've been procrastinating by reading shojou and yuri manga.
WHY ARE THERE NO GOOD HEROINES!?! IF I HAVE TO READ ONE MORE COMIC WHERE THE FEMALE PROTAGONIST GETS MOLESTED BY A NEAR STRANGER FOR BEING 'TOO CUTE' I WILL JUST SCREAM, ESPECIALLY IF SHE DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT, ESPECIALLY IS SHE HAS NO SKILLS OUTSIDE OF CUTENESS AND PRACTICALLY NO PERSONALITY. URRRRRRG!!!
True, not all manga are like that, I rather like shoujo and josei manga on occasion, I finished reading 'Girl Friends' a few days ago which was an adorable shojouai manga with real personality and a good grasp of emotions without being omgtheangstitburnsssssss.
Just, urgg, rampant mysogyny and bad writing, I want to stab it in the face.
EDIT: I have discovered 'Code Breaker', though I'm only 4 chapters in right now. Why is it that a shonen manga has more interesting and independant women in it than those manga aimed at women?
JAPANESE LOGIC. YOU MAKE NO SENSE.
