Angel Eye Springs! | Amy | I love ShouJosei anime and manga! I'm getting more into visual novels as well! Hooray for cute boys and magical girls! I love BL and am almost always exploring more Shoujo / Josei-muke content♡ | No | 1 |
 |
Tsunderoid | Tsunderoid | I'm a casual fan of BL manga and anime, and really love magical girl animes from the showa era, as well as some newer. | No | 2 |
 |
Idelides | Jade | I really like 'grounded' romances and magical girl anime/manga with strong symbolism. Because a lot of magical girl shows tend to focus on converting or redeeming their villains, it offers a really interesting contrast to shonen where the focus is all about overcoming the villain of the week through strength. | No | 3 |
 |
lizonline | Liz | I've been a lover of BL/shounen-ai/danmei/yaoi for a number of years now. I've recently gotten into webnovels and visual novels, and I'm a fledgling yumejoshi as well (I didn't even know that was an option!). I've been really into MXTX's novels as of late, and I have a huge soft spot for Asada Nemui's work, especially her short story To the Sea and her longer, ongoing manga Sleeping Dead (mind the tags on both). If you read them in that order, you can see a lot of improvement, especially with her paneling. I'm a big fan of meaty, psychological works and action, and I have a preference for written media over shows. Feel free to send me recommendations! I'm always on the look-out for things to add to my ever-growing to-read/watch/play list. ^_^ | No | 4 |

CabbageSorter | cabbage | I enjoy content aimed at adult women, especially when it concerns itself with everyday themes and the general female experience. I enjoy BL here or there as well, and I grew up on shojo anime like Candy Candy, Sailor Moon and Super Gals!. | definitely nsfw content in text sometimes and some images might have implied nudity/sexual situations so in short... YES. | 7 |
 |
lovesick | lapin | I am a longtime shoujosei and BL enjoyer. I started drawing as a kid because of Sailor Moon, Gravitation, and CLAMP. I prefer work/office settings in my josei, with fluffy and heartwarming themes. In my BL, the more toxic the better (haha.) My favorite right now is Wotakoi! | Mature | 8 |
 |
ophanimkei | mala | I'm a big fan of Shakaijin Yuri aimed at lesbians by lesbians and work about female struggles. Ebine Yamaji and Kabi Nagata are some of my favorite mangaka. I also occasionally read BL and straight romance though it's a tiny amount compared to my yuri consumption. | labelled | 9 |
 |

 |
Miki's Otome Oasis | Miki | I absolutely love girly media made by women and femmes and always have since I was a preteen first getting into anime! I love shoujo and josei anime/manga and it's pretty much all that I read and watch. I am a huge fan of otome games, especially all the Neoromance series (Angelique, Harukanaru, Corda, Geten no Hana). My favourite otome game of all time is Angelique: Tenkuu no Requiem!!! | No | 12 |
 |

 |
Vencake | Personal expressive hub with a focus on games & creativity. | Yes | 14 | |

AquariumAesthetic | Mari | I love dramas and magical girls! My favorite shoujo series is probably Fruits Basket. A lot of my own art is inspired by shoujo manga illustrations, especially by artists like Naoko Takeuchi, Matsuri Hino, and CLAMP! | No | 15 |
 |
Husbandoism | Weeble | I'm a BL lover most days but I read Josei when I want a something a bit more grounded and comfy. When i got into JP media, I mostly read shoujo like Ouran, Fruits Basket, and Kaichou Maid-sama, but then BL hit me like a truck lol. | Like 16+ idk I swear a bit | 16 |
 |
EXU.EXE | Ilene | I'm a big fan of the magical girl genre and the DiC dub of Sailor Moon and Ocean Studios dub of Pretty Cure were my gateway into it. These days though I'm very interested in older series like Rose of Versailles Lady Georgie, I adore the 80's artstyles <3 | Yes, labelled | 17 |
 |
neetelite | neet | I've always loved all things romance, particularly otome games where I can fawn over my harem of cute boys <3 I also love to dabble in magical girl anime, and have a lot of love for BL/GL! currently expanding my physical BL/GL manga/doujin collection! | nope! | 18 |
| N/A | RiNet - Rina on the internet | Rina | Only "true" Shoujo I've seen is Ao Haru Ride. I do like magical girl animes such as Madoka Magica and Mahou Shoujo Site, although those technically aren't Shoujo, they should count in my book. I'm not an active fan, as I am bad with managing my time, but I'm still fond of the medium :). The website itself is just a personal blog/digital journal. | Not NSFW, unless excessive cussing offends you. | 19 |
 |
Traveling Healer | Niqua, Alias: Panacea | I am an overly sensitive hopeless romantic, and my cozy web home strongly reflects this. I became a fan of Otomes in my early 20's for very personal reasons. One of those reasons being that they gave me a setting where I was given the role "Damsel in Distress" to be rescued and cared for, opposite of my situation at the time. The beautifully written romantic stories hit my heart hard. Hakuouki was my introduction into the genre. I'm also a fan of cutesy magical girls and boys! | Yes | 20 |
 |
snowibunni | Bridget | I started via Sailor Moon when I found a DiC VHS tape in a store with pink glitter attracting me (before CN's airing even) and then became engrossed with many magical girl anime when I was older. Especially older ones like Creamy Mami and Minky Momo. I have a huge soft spot for Aikatsu and I retain interest in the works of CLAMP most of all. | Yes with warnings | 21 |
 |
cherie | Niki | A personal website that acts also as an archive of my different interests & hobbies. I love otome games, shoujo manga and joseimuke media. My favorites are Hakuoki, Bokura Ga Ita and iDOLISH7 respectively ♥ | No | 22 |

 |

 |
Nenrikido | Rio/Jay | I grew up with shoujo, and although I later expanded my repertoire to include a lot of BL and GL, I still have a soft spot for "old school" shoujo. My all-time favorite has to be Sailor Moon. | Not right now. If there ever is, it'll be labelled | 25 |
 |
Neko no Kuni | Ame | I am into romance/drama webtoons aimed at women either a slice of life or fantasy. I like best stories that feature an adult couple (especially if they are married, since I am just a bit fed up with high school romance lol) and/or that the protagonist is a woman. I also started watching dramas recently. | no | 26 |
 |
Angel Hotspot | Pearl | I've always been loving shoujosei media, ESPECIALLY mahou shoujo ever since i was a lil girl. My very first magical girl crush would be Ichigo Momomiya from Tokyo Mew Mew. God, i love that series! (I want her strawbell bell so bad pls ♡♡♡ ) Other than that, i also enjoy sailor moon (ofc), ojamojo doremi, princess tutu, and currently hooked up on wonderful precure! Btw, I've been into yume for years now. So, other than talking about our favorite series or suggesting new media to enjoy, we can also talk about our f/o haha. Go ahead and don't be afraid to contact me! (⌯ฅ́˘ฅ̀⌯)♡ Angel Hotspot is my cozy home on the internet where i share things i like including art, thoughts, and many more ♡ | Mature, with warnings | 27 |
 |
chogongal | Zippy | I've been a fan of Josei manga and Ladies comics since my late teens. I think why I like it so much is because the stories are based in reality mixed with mature themes, also because they are drama-filled lol! I read a lot of early Heisei era josei. I like Kyoko Okazaki, Erica Sakurazawa and Moyoco Anno's work. | Yes and labeled as such. | 28 |
