Default Whats so pure about a shoujo manga?

I think more than 50% of shoujo manga here are labeled smut... and for me smut arent so "pure".................................... why did i post it here? cause the asuka says shoujo manga has a pure love... hahaha!

P.S.
Im a guy by the way and Im reading Shoujo manga's!!!!!! whats wrong about it? I know shoujo manga's are intended for giirls but the hell there are a lot of boys reading shoujo manga and watching shoujo animes! I mean they were labeled shoujo in their manga versions! like Special A, Itazura na kiss, Yamato nadeshiko, Ouran, Skip beat is shoujo too...

oh and i said this cause its emphasized in this manga that real boys dont read shoujo mangas... something like this

Although that is true, it meant the other 50%. The other 50% is love and mushy stuff without anything bad/smut and is pure, as they call it in the manga.

I don't see anything wrong with a guy reading shoujo manga. I'm a girl and I mostly read manga geared toward guys. I don't think its that big of a deal. I mean I just like action stories with alot of blood and supernatural stuff. I guess that makes me less girly than most girls, but I'm cool with that. So, keep on reading shoujo. Don't let stereotypical ideal stop you

Shoujo mangas is for everyone, and I think its great that there are boys who are interested. Shoujo mangas do have pervy scenes, even in the ones that aren't smut. But I'm starting to like Azusa and wanna see things goes........

As you said, Shoujo mangas are intended for girls, but that doesn't mean guys can't read them. There's nothing wrong with it. You read whatever you want It's just the same with videogames. People say videogames are for boys. The hell!! I'm a girl and I LOVE videogames!! Anything wrong with that? I don't think there are such things like "these are for girls, these for boys".... maybe the clothes, but...well, if a guy want to wear skirts, then so be it XD Anyway, what I'm trying to say is...all of those things are just a matter of perspective. You like what you like, and you do what you do, according to your personality (of course, you do whatever you do as long as you don't hurt others). I think there's nothing wrong it.

omygod i laughed after reading this post (no offense.) I'm a guy too, and reading shojo doesn't make you a 'weak' guy, unless reading shojo is like playing with barbie in Japan. ...(?)

For the sheer randomness of it, try searching for Akusaga (Blank Slate), if you haven't already. It's by the same mangaka, but with a totally different feel I was kind of surprised it was Shoujo Beat who released the English translations...

And I guess that's what they want to say in Otomen, right? No to stereotyping?
