Any U.S. shojo manga fan can tell that Shojo Beat has been releasing fewer series recently. So I decided to crunch some numbers. Assuming no planned releases get pushed back, by the end of the year SB will have released 42 volumes of manga, going by Right Stuf's website.

@SomeZeeShit__ I'm in Bay Ridge. Getting to Bushwick involves either going into Manhattan first or 3 trains. Going anywhere in Brooklyn on the J/M or L trains is not worth it lol.

@maomao09diaries I've read/watched 23 (at least partially, there are a few series like Something's Wrong With Us that I've only read about halfway).

@nazzobetweeting It's like watching TV sitcoms set in NYC as a native New Yorker: they'll refer to a real-life subway station but say that a train that *definitely* doesn't go there serves the stop 🤦‍♀️

i was reading a book by a british author that takes place in NYC and the author wrote “the flight from London landed at LaGuardia Airport” like no. no, it didn’t. no it did not do that.
mellie@uhbucky

one of the funniest things to me is when a person writes specific details about boston in a fic and they definitely aren’t from boston cause they’ll be like ilya crashed his car into a tree speeding on newbury street and I’m like no he didn’t

@A_Sarr Exactly, I'm a native New Yorker who hasn't been impressed with any of the Mexican places I've tried in Manhattan, and that's because I first tried Mexican food in Sunset Park and it's the standard for me. Would love to try more places in Corona.

@lisavsworld There are men who legitimately believe that women who travel a lot are having every single one of their trips funded by a man they're sleeping with. They can't fathom that there are solo female travelers paying for their own trips who are simply traveling for leisure & culture.

The way how men immediately equate this to sex. I've made many friends while traveling in foreign countries And guess what? I didn't sleep with any of them. At some point, you have to admit this is projection. Clearly, you'd be banging strangers if you could.

@dieworkwear I'm a native New Yorker and I don't pay retail for any clothes/bags/shoes. I always wait for sales & stack coupons: plus, we have stores that discount designer goods like Century 21. Also, thrift stores! I once saw a pair of Gucci wedges for $40 at a thrift store.

@allithet @SlyPerformer Me too! I first watched Kodocha in 2005. It kicked off my love of shojo anime and manga and it's still one of my faves to this day. Sana is also still my favorite fictional female character ❤️

@nymphfatale @finelylesberg I get a lot of guys who unmatch fairly quickly before we've ever messaged and I'm pretty sure that it's because they swiped right without reading my bio, then unmatched when they finally read it and saw that I don't want kids.

i usually bring up on the first date that i never ever wanna have kids and people are like "you don't even know yet if you like him!" but the point is i do not wanna get to like him if he wants to have kids
Ashley Reese@offbeatorbit

People think I’m doing too much when I tell them that if you’re certain you want kids and your partner doesn’t, you have a decision to make and you should probably make it sooner rather than later. Yes, people’s minds can change over time, but that’s a big gamble.

@offbeatorbit I put that I don't want kids on my dating app profile & my therapist suggested removing it bc that's not info everyone needs to know. I disagree: in a serious relationship, having kids is something you absolutely can't compromise on, so you should be on the same page ASAP.

And honestly I’m surprised by how long some younger couples (like say 20s) wait to have frank conversations about this. I think there’s this impression among women who want kids that asking about that early makes you look baby hungry but man who gives a shit? It’s YOUR time.

@maomao09diaries I've watched/read 7, but there are a ton of series on this list that I dropped over the years. I didn't include Vampire Knight, Toradora, Spice & Wolf, Full Moon, Honey Lemon Soda, or Inuyasha, but I've definitely watched/read parts of them but didn't like them enough to continue

@maomao09diaries If you include reading manga, I've watched/read 21 of these series. Two of the most foundational romances (Hana Yori Dango and Kare Kano) sadly aren't on here. Also, a huge seinen romance: Maison Ikkoku.

@offbeatorbit A few weeks ago a guy at a dating event brought up the election & said that he's pushing for a Cuomo win because Mamdani "doesn't have enough experience." I pointed out that Mamdani is literally a state Assemblymember. The guy said he didn't know that & looked super pissed at me.

seeing all these dudes having meltdowns in the mentions of women who voted for zohran is so fascinating to witness when you are friends with normal men.

@virtualangel39 This is how I feel about Kodansha's digital manga being $10.99. I never buy their digital manga unless it's on sale for $5.99 or below.

does anyone else feel that 7seas pricing digital manga at $9.99 usd is a bit ridiculous... i get prices being higher for larger print books, but that much for a PDF you don't technically own??? even *doubling* the usual price for a JP digital volume (594yen) they should be $8 max

This is not even new work of Ai Yazawa ??! Tenshi Nanka Ja Nai was serialized in Ribon from 1991-1994. Tenshi was made long before Nana even came out. Which is why it says from Viz if you could read “A decade before Nana” This is english version of the manga. 💀 shut up omfg 😭

@shoujoscholar I really like Ao Haru Ride and Love Me, Love Me Not. Unfortunately, Strobe Edge has the most boring male lead I've ever encountered in my 20 years of reading shojo manga.
