Sometimes I read about the 2000s, a time when even your average shonen manga/anime fan was consuming shojo properties like Sailor Moon and Fruits Basket, and I genuinely wonder what kind of factors would have to fall into place for something like that to emerge in anime/manga fandom once more.

Everyone’s talking about Red River thanks to the anime, and we’re joining the fray! The first (of three) Red River episodes is out now! Ashley and Asher have never read this before, and have diverging reads on how the heaviest topics (namely, the ever-present threat of assault) are handled.

Looking into Manga Million some more, it feels like a real catch-22. The browse list is ordered by most views to least views total by default, so they’re clearly mining data about which titles are most popular. Which puts all the previously untranslated shojo and josei ones in a precarious state.

Please note it’s unclear if English translations are using AI, but likelihood is high. Other languages are almost certainly using AI translations. Too high of a quantity of languages/too niche titles not to be.

Editing the first Red River @shojoandtell.bsky.social episode, and I don’t know if it’s that insightful, but it is, so far, fun, imo (42 mins in of like 2hr 5m). I hope that people like whatever we’re gonna add to the milieu of information on this series!

One of the most amazing evolutions of the American manga market recently has been all of these fans seeing the opportunity to be producers. Instead of passively complaining about what wasn't being licensed and then scanlating it--they took initiative and licensed and published the works. Bravo.

I'm gonna ask a favor. If you're not also calling boy's/men's manga demographics shoseinen, please stop using shojosei. It further contracts what is already being treated a a niche, as if it's some side thought. Or, you can say "for young women." That works too.

I'm not fully caught up with it, but Nina the Starry Bride is good! Also not sure if it counts as recent anymore but The King's Beast by Rei Toma is also solid. I also love My Androgynous Boyfriend and Cinderella Closet, but I'd hesitate to call them recent I also need to catch up on my manga 🙃

Re-Living My Life with a Boyfriend Who Doesn't Remember Me pleasantly surprised me (esp considering the obnoxiously long name)! It also just won the shoujo category of the Kodansha Awards. Fall in Love, You False Angels also charmed me. It's not reinventing the wheel, but what it does, it does well.
