Noooo, no my English teacups!

Note to self: when reading shoujo manga/manhwa, and you find yourself thinking that all the potential love interests are creepy assholes who irritate you, especially the one the main character obviously ends up falling for? Just... forget that shit and move on. It most definitely will get more annoying with time, unless it's explicitly a comedy.

I'm so picky for shoujo and shounen, really.

Also, is there more good non-conventional shoujo where a heroine (or hero, if shounen-ai) with a strong will and personality doesn't turn to a weepy "omg mah wub is everything!1!" idiot as soon as she hooks up with the guy (or girl, if yuri), and keeps most of her original traits? Any recs, guys?



Okay, so there's a flash demo for The Edgeworth and Gumshoe Show Ace Attorney Investigations. So far it's not as funny as the Defense games (needs even moar sarcasm, Edgey) but then again it's only the first few minutes of the game we have here. The gameplay looks cool and challenging, though. I doubt I'll buy this but I will play the shit out of its ROM.

Speaking of things this game needs moar: Ema Skye. I was looking at some official art.
- Age and height. 18 years old, 154cm. Girl, no wonder you're using those heels as an adult |D You grew well so fine, but didn't really grow up that high.
- Sketches. Behold hair down and no hat and long trousers, and ponytail in some other. So pretty!

Awwww. Damn.

Ahahahaha, don't worry about that, damn. There are lot of people who don't like mindfucks. XD

Hmm, I remember reading about a shoujo about two transsexual kids, a girl and a boy, I think it was oyceter who wrote about it, but I can't find it. Huh. :/

Hourou Musuko? That's the first thing that comes to mind when you mention that, though it's seinen, not shoujo. (And really good)

Yes! I think that's the one. Damn wikipedia for using the pronouns wrong, but that's the one. Eeeeh. Well, now I can read it. XD Thanks.

I read that one and liked it, thanks for remind me! Too bad I can't remember what was the last chapter I read and now I can't catch up, though.

I read the transkids one and thought it was really cute and interesting, but I forgot which was the last chapter I read and now I have no idea where I left off. But yeah, seinen.

Hmmm, well, if you have time and feel like it, check oyceter's shoujo tag, she has wrote a lot about non-conventional school shoujo with great heroines, so maybe you may find something that interests you. :)
