Cute video! I really like your editing style!! What's your favorite shoujo? A fifth category I would add, is action/fantasy shoujo starring male protagonists. It's a much more niche category compared to the others you listed, and in a lot of ways is a more introspective/emotional/feminine take on tropes in classic battle shounen or gritty seinen. The male protagonists in these shoujo are typically a little softer and sweeter, or have elements that make them more relatable to a female audience (though these shows can still get pretty dark). Some shoujo that fall under this category are Banana Fish, Natsume's Book of Friends, Laughing Under the Clouds, Hakkenden, Kyo Kara Maoh, Children of the Whales, DNAngel, and Himitsu Top Secret. I do want to mention that a few of the romance shows you listed are either shounen or seinen: Aharen-san wa Hakarenai, Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie, Tomo-chan is a Girl, Komi Can't Communicate, and Kaguya-sama Love is War all fall under either shounen or seinen XD
Thank you so much for watching! My favorite shojo series is STILL Strobe Edge after so many years >< im still hoping that they get an anime hahah And youre right some of these shows are labelled for more mature audiences but there are definitely shojo elements sprinkled around those stories :P
This was such a nice video!! I'm definitely gonna look up some of the shows you've mentioned. I feel like overall there's a little more shoujo coming out nowadays after years of barely anything x_x which makes me so happy
I have watched, Akatsuki no Yona and Akagami no shirayukihime AND THEY'RE SERIOUSLY SO GOOD!!
i need more anime like those two😭

I love how you've categorised the different types of shojo anime shows, can you do a similar video for manga as well?
I'll look into it! There'a a lot of crossover though since many shojo anime are adapted from popular manga series :D Thank you for watching!
i love your format & setup! so cute
Thank you so much!!
Really good breakdown! Love so many of these anime ❤

Same omg! Im always trying to scope out the new shojo and romance shows every season 👀🤭
Many of shows you listed here are shonen or seinen xd
Shojo is not a genre it's a demographic, mangas which are released in shojo magazines are shojos
