What is Shoujo?

Shoujo manga (少女漫画) is manga aimed at a teenage female target-demographic readership. The name romanizes the Japanese "shoujo", literally "young woman". Shoujo manga covers many subjects in a variety of narrative styles, from historical drama to science fiction, often with a focus on romantic relationships or emotions. Strictly speaking, however, shoujo manga does not comprise a style or genre, but rather indicates a target demographic. - wiki

What are your favorite manga adaptations?

why not an article? 

looking forward to ur full post

Live Action Adaptations are my personal favourite! I live in Australia so I don't get to watch many current JDramas so my list of favourites has some oldies in there but some of my favourite ones are:

Ani ni Aisaresugite Komattemasu (2017)

Daytime Shooting Star (2017)

Five (2017)

Wolf Girl and Black Prince (2016)

The Black Devil and the White Prince (2016)

Ouran High School Host Club (2011)

Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge (2010)

I also loved Gintama and looking forward to Full Metal Alchemist when it comes out as my favourite actor is in it.

It'd be too time consuming to put all of it into one article, it's easier to update in the forums.
