Josei is the underdog category, IK I’m technically the demographic, but there’s so much about the works to love.

@PocketLeaves Ай бұрын

Yoo Osomatsu-san mention! Big vouch for that one on the comedy section. Thank you for putting together this catalog of recommendations! I can't wait to check more of these out! The ones you've mentioned that I have read/seen before were so influential for me, so I'm excited to check out the others!

I was not expecting Osomatsu-san to be a josei 😭

@soleilmole 29 күн бұрын

I literally jumped when I saw Osomatsu San 😂 I thought about the story and it makes sense why it’s in the catalog!

Im a simple girl. I see Rakugo Shinjuu I click. Thanks for giving it the attention it so desperately deserves. It makes me sad that I can't even tell people it's my fav without them being like what is that?

Loved Princess Jellyfish growing up, watched the anime first but read the manga after those episodes.

@NaritaZaraki Ай бұрын

My TBR is already teetering dangerously but I guess we're adding stuff. Your little section on "Princess Jellyfish" is making me want to reread it so badly. Great vid! ^_^

@watashiwamosura Ай бұрын

Descending Stories has a full anime adaptation and it's gorgeous!! 10/10 recommend!!

@SeabassFishbrains Ай бұрын

Kuragehime was my first manga (and anime!) back in the 2010's! It's still probably my favorite manga of all time. I'm so glad to see josei getting some love, and it's especially great to see another guy who loves josei just like I do!

As someone who has wanted to REALLY get into this demographic more, you have done me a wonderful service Basic Boi. Thank you! 😄

@Ninjacatmuffin Ай бұрын

I feel like this video is a sign that I need to finally watch/read "Life Lessons with Uramichi Oniisan". I was also surprised to see that Osomatsu-San was a Josei ahaha. Thanks for the recs. I've read or watched a few of these series, but I've haven't heard of a good chunk of them Edit: I unfortunately remember Loveless. Also, Chihayafuru is great. My sister and I loved watching all 3 seasons of the anime together

I loved “idol dreams” and “kechonpa”. Both are not finished, or maybe not translates in English completely.

@jadehull5777 Ай бұрын

Princess Jellyfish was my Josei introduction too! I still haven’t finished the manga, but someday!

Josei is the most underappreciated demographic genre, everyone is all about shonen, seinen and even shoujo but with josei people act like it barely exists 🥺

@tamkingshorts Ай бұрын

I have never read manga, but I love hearing people talk about it. Thanks for sharing your favorites with us!

@milkflavored Ай бұрын

I wish more people gave Neighborhood Story/Gokinjo Monogatari it's flowers - it's my favorite of Ai's works

The dumpster fire that burned you from the inside out - lol you got me laughing its so true im still so sad about bunny drop 😭😭

Lol so true - definitely a josei anime to josei manga pipeline

@sarahp2440 Ай бұрын

Thanks for the recommendations! BTW there's also a live action drama for Tramps Like Us streaming on Retrocrush (titled with the more direct translation "You're My Pet"). It's short and some of the story gets left out but I really enjoyed. The male lead is also aged up to 20 which, personally, I appreciated for a live action.

Thank you for this! I’m 30 now and I’m been looking for anime/manga that is not in high school but also doesn’t have sexualised characters.

Actually, Nana was published in Cookie, a shojo magazine 💜 but Nana is a series that confuses people😅. Love this video!!! It is amazing and full of great recommendations! I took notes of some series. Thank you thank youuuuu💜💜💜

@itsbasicboi 21 күн бұрын

Yea, I did mention that Nana ran in Cookie which was later turned into a josei magazine. So it’s actually more of a hybrid tbh.
