When I first started reading manga, I stayed on the male side with reading shonen manga. I avoided shojo because the girls with the big eyes just creeped me out. As I read more and more, it became apparent that I had to read some shojo because there's a lot out there. Also, shonen manga is too much filled with ninjas and pirates, at least the ones that were sold in the US. I needed to see some more school comedy romances. Shojo is filled with these type of stories. I may be turning into a shojo reader. It's weird where things lead you.
