With the imminent return of the Kimi ni Todoko and the A Sign of Affection anime,, the scene is set for the triumphant return of shojo anime.
With the upcoming adaptations of fan-favorite shojo series like Suu Morishita's A Sign of Affection and Netflix's continuation of Kimi ni Todoke, shojo anime seems to be making a serious comeback. This is exciting news for fans of the demographic, which often seems to be overlooked by studios, as well as for general anime fans looking for new and underrated series to enjoy.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT While shonen fans are spoiled for choice when it comes to anime adaptations, shojo titles have needed more love for years. Indeed, some of the most well-known manga titles ever, such as Sailor Moon, Fruit Basket, and Maid Sama, are all shojo. However, after enjoying an extended period of increased popularity during the first decade of the century, less shojo manga were being picked up for anime adaptations.
Moreover, the wealth of diversity in the new shojo anime series means that the demographic as a whole has been able to extend past or outside its traditional customs. Netflix Anime's Kimi ni Todoke is illustrative of this point. One of the common shojo tropes in shojo is the awkward girl's support of the equally awkward guy. That is, she plays the role of his psychological muse. However, in Kimi ni Todoke the role is reversed.
The Future Of Shojo Anime This resurgence of shojo anime portends a deeper exploration of issues affecting young women. While many have long believed shojo anime to exclusively be romance stories or magical girl series, more anime and manga within this demographic have begun discussing topics outside the stereotypes that have plagued the demographic.
