It’s kind of a shame how disrespected female targeted media is. Shoujo and Josei manga rarely get accurate or complete adaptations when compared to their shounen and seinen counterparts. Female targeted shows are more likely to get those “dark, gritty, and adult” adaptations as though anything girly or fun isnt worth investing in. It’s such a shame to see female audiences treated as an afterthought, especially considering how beneficial it would be from a marketing and production standpoint to have a more diverse audience invested in a product

PARADISE KISS MANGA SPOILER!!
Paradise Kiss’s ending made me so damn sad!! I literally cried and that never happens when I’m reading something. It’s like I know Yukari and George weren’t good together but their goodbye was so sad and bittersweet. George changed her life forever but she found happiness with the guy I personally felt she deserved but even with that it kinda felt like they were both each other’s second choice. It broke my heart! I am happy with the ending though and I felt like it was very realistic and everything happened like I wanted and personally thought it should but I just can’t help feeling so sad about it. I think that’s why Paradise Kiss is one of my favs. The relationship between the two main characters weren’t perfect and they didn’t get the happy ending together but in the end they both found happiness.

Run Away With Me, Girl
3 volumes
Licensed by Kodansha
Maki's first love was her high school classmate, a girl named Midori. But Midori broke up with Maki at graduation, saying they were now "too old to be fooling around dating girls." Ten years later, Maki still can't get Midori off her mind, and when the two women reconnect after a chance encounter, Maki realizes that, while her feelings haven't changed, Midori has long moved on—in fact, she's engaged.
Yet the more Maki hears Midori talk about her soon-to-be-husband, the more red flags she notices. And Midori has another secret, one she hasn't yet shared with Maki. Will it be the last blow to Maki's hopes that their romance might be rekindled? Or will it be the push that sets them on a new path—one they'll travel together?
