... oh gosh, children. I mean, tbf, 90% of shoujo is girly-girl romance stuff, but these days, it's really expanded--I'd argue that stuff in Zero-Sum does straddle the line more (especially Saiyuki and 07-Ghost, which are more action-driven stories), but it's ... still got horribly strong shoujo influences; THERE IS NO WAY AROUND IT.
Haha, Nessie and I bemoaned a lot of that in our emails, too. :'D I will be probably writing a I LIKE GENDERSWITCH!!11 post soon, in which I will complain about people who seem to think that in fiction girls must be girly-girly kyaa kyaa BOYS AND CLOTHES AND SHOPPINGGGGGGGG when 99.99% of them are girls, too. SNEAK PREVIEW.
