Shojo: a simple obsession

As the week comes to a close it makes one wonder why the long awaited monday anime won't already be posted.

Recently I have fallen completely in love with two animes and for those who know this world well know the most romantic and love sappy shows are labeled shojo or shoujo.

Basically these are shows which are demographic toward women and involve two characters which have meet through some circumstance or other and end up in love. These shows most the time have a ikemen character who to tell you the truth is probably what anyone would call a delinquent. 

Clannad 


Shojo is a genre which certifies its own rules, as all anime and manga are, you cannot judge it by looking at it as a cartoon but as a anime in its own genre and respect. 

Because I am going through what I like to call shojo syndrome I have decided to turn towards shojo, because of the way someone can become totally obsessed with the characters but when the series ends you have no withdrawal issues. 

The first is:
Kamisama Hajimemashita- a story about a young girl through a series of fortunate and unfortunate events becomes the earth deity of a shrine and as well as gains a familiar who of course its a fox (because who doesn't love beastility?). They will most likely fall in love or something, but the main point is that he is a sexy fox spirit and any girl would want to take him away!



Who wouldn't want to live with that?!

The next is:
Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun- a simple school life love tale of a, to no surprise, delinquent boy and a girl who loves studying mix in a chicken, some family problems, and a girl who gets hit on far to easily and you've got Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun
