Upon picking it up, he meets Sakura, a girl in his class who has a chronic pancreatic disease. Afraid that her friends will treat her differently, she confides the secret of her illness to him and only him.While films about dying girls are becoming rather cliche, I Want to Eat Your Pancreas still manages to be both heartfelt and heart wrenching.While films about dying girls are becoming rather cliche, I Want to Eat Your Pancreas still manages to be both heartfelt and heart wrenching.

Sakura isn’t perfect, and her actions reflect someone who is lost and scared, yet trying to put on a brave face and keep herself together.The film isn’t without its faults. The ending is a bit rushed and poorly executed. However, I was surprised by how real and tangible the characters were, despite the cliche plot.

Since its Valentine-s Day (well to be more exact two days after), I decided to create a blog that have something to with romance and that is the top shoujo anime list. Since there were limited amount of images I can add, I had to cut around half of the original number of anime I was planning to rank so please understand that these are just the few anime that made its way in. Also to the anime newbies who may not know what the Shoujo genre is, its basically a story from a female's point of view which are often mixed with romance. Now the introduction is over with, let's move on to the list.-20.

Wolf Girl and Black Prince. Wolf Girl and Black Prince was one of the anime where I actually read the manga before watching the actual show. The animation wasn't pass my expectations, but it was overall good. Even though I didn't like how the boyfriend treated the protagonist that well, it was nice to see how their relationship have developed from scratch. Its as if the protagonist have melted her boyfriend's frozen heart. Its one of those romances between a happy go lucky girl and a cold guy. If like those, then go for this anime.-19.

Lovely Complex. Love Complex was one of the older anime I have watched. The whole animation may look a bit old, but the plot content was interesting. Its about the bittersweet love blossoming between a tall girl and a short boy. There were a whole lot of drama involved in the show.

Whether it may be good or bad moments, I fairy enjoyed the anime. Its actually surprising how it even made it this far into the list since I don't like life drama that much.

That's how touching it was.-18. The World is Still Beautiful. From the animation to the characters, I loved everything about it. I really like how the main focus wasn't just on the main two love interests, but all the unique characters as well. The relations the sassy protagonist had with the others were funny in how they interacted to one another.

But don't let this fool you cause this anime was surprisingly more mature than I expected. It turned out to be really good though since you don't get to see those hot scenes that often.-16. Monthly Girl's Nozaki-kun. Blue Spring Ride had a great ending in my opinion.

I liked how their relationship have changed only for the slightest, which was kind of realistic. I actually ended up reading the entire manga and finished it. And I have to say that the second half had a lot of drama. Man, I am glad how they didn't made another season for Blue Spring Ride cause I just won't be able to handle it since I dislike drama. But Blue Spring Ride had an amazing development and the backstory behind the main guy. I was in tears for christ sakes.-14.

Princess Jellyfish. Princess Jellyfish was like one of those anime that taught me an important life lesson. The theme of fashion and beauty was honestly really touching. Since I myself don't dress up very fashionably plus am socially awkward at times, I can relate with the protagonist a whole lot. I like the dramatic irony in how her crush only notices her when she dresses up real nicely.

I hate to say it, but love is really about apperances too. Another thing I loved about this anime was the narration and the slow development. It tells you a story from both sides of the world on how they view fashion.-13. Kimi ni Todoke. Kimi ni Todoke is probably the most innocent romance anime I have ever watched. Its more like that love life you have in middle school where you experience dating for the first time.

Its the cute love. Though I admit how it took way too long for the two love birds to even confess to each other, it was something fresh to see since the world's view point on romance is all about the appearances and sex these days. It was nice to see how this slow developed love flourished between these two nonexperienced high schoolers. It was loving.-12. My Love Story. I don't even know if this anime will even be considered Shoujo since the story is set from a male's point of view, but it had that Shoujo vibe from it despite the male protagonist. I know that most romance set from a male's usually has to do with fanservice or harem, so it was nice to see an anime that didn't had any of that.

Even on top of that, the protagonist wasn't decent looking too it was really different from most love stories. The anime proved that even if you may not be the most prettiest person in the world, you can still be loved from your good character. It was real sweet.-11. This was still during the time where I was crazy about reverse harems. Uta no Prince-sama literally used to be my most favorite reverse harem. All the guys were perfect, and the protagonist was fairy lovable too.

But now that I dislike harems whether it is reverse or not, this anime grew out of me as well. I've only watched up to like the second season and the first episode of the third season. Uta no Prince-sama is like the male versiom of Love Live.-9. This was another anime I used to watch when I was younger. I remember how I was looking all over for this anime after I watched it for that one time and forgot the title. I was so happy once I found it that it made my day.

I loved every single character in Special A, but looking back at it, I realized how corny the whole romance was. Its still hilarious and cute though. Its just that one scene in last episode where they defied gravity that bothered the heck out of me though.-8. My Little Monster.

My Little Monster, which is totally different from the original title that is My Monster Neighbor or something, had one of my favorite animation overall. I liked how the characters looked simplistic, but good at the same time. They were really lovable too, especially with the protagonist. She was the serious type unlike most of the weak female leads in Shoujo anime. Her lead was strong and that just made the whole anime awesome as it is.

I admit that the love triangle was frustrating, but besides that, its very enjoyable to watch.-7. Yona of the Dawn. Yona of the Dawn turned out to be so much better than expected. The plot was more deeper than I thought it would be.

I thought this anime was just going to be about this happy go lucky princesses on an adventure with her beautiful men club, but it was really different than what I thought. There were a couple of epic scenes I can name from the very first episode. And Haku, I have to tell you, is the best servant anyone can ever have and yes, even more than Sebastian.-6. Wallflower had stunning eyes as their animation, yet their lips are just ehh. The protagonist from wallflower was quite similar to Sawako from Kimi ni Todoke, except for the fact that she looks intimidating because she loves horrifying things. I loved how whenever she turns pretty, she logs out of her chibi mode and her body becomes like a normal character. Its like Umaru-chan!

The anime was also super hilarious so if you need some laughter, just watch the first episode and you'll get right into it.-5. Fruit Basket.

Fruit Basket was hilarious but somehow tragic at the same time. Every characters has some sort of tragic backstory behind them, but tends to move on with it. The love triangle in this anime wasn't as frustrating cause there weren't any clear conception of who's the actual intended couple. Its like Nisekoi. The animation might be old and may not even be part of your tastes as how it was for me, but you know how people say the story is more important than the picture. Its the exact same thing for Fruit Basket.-4. Skip Beat has one of the best plots in terms of the setting.

I mean, you don't see so many romance anime that has something to with the entertainment industry (unless you are talking about Love Stage) with such a funny tale. The protagonist is hardworking and lives off with her wild personality. She then tries to revenge her ex-boyfriend for fooling her by getting into the agency he works in lol. I'll tell you, this anime is great.

I mean most people just gets into a slump after they get dumped so it was a nice change especially when you see a female standing up against a guy.-3. Kamisama Kiss. Kamisama Kiss is kind of similar to Inuyasha to the point that even I was wondering if the author was a fan of that anime or something. But its not that similar type where the anime is stealing the original idea.

The author actually made use of the similar concept to create her own story, which was actually really good. I liked how the romance wasn't rushed and didn't went so smoothly as most Shoujo anime would. They took its time and told a rather funny, yet the bittersweet kind of love.-2.

Kaichou wa Maid-sama. I loved how the protagonist was tough and serious unlike most female leads.

She didn't waver when like the most perfect guy in all anime would flirt with her. If I was her, I would already be fangirling all over him from the first time we meet, but she was different. He would often tease her, but save her when she's in need.

It was that love hate relationship I guess, but only for the protagonist's side. Its just hilarious how they would interact with each other. You gotta watch it.-1. Ouran High School Host Club.
