The anime rom com sure doesn’t feel like it did before. Why is that? What happened to great shoujo series of the past like Ouran, Kamisama Kiss, Skip Beat and others? How did we go from that to Nagatoro and Komi? I take a look back at the history of the shoujo rom com, how it’s grown and developed over the years, the rise of Shonen and Seinen rom coms and how the male and female gaze factor into each of them.
Are you a fan of rom coms? What are some of your favorites? Do you like the direction it’s taking now or do you wish it would go back to the way it was? Let me know down in the comments below and be sure to keep on reading.
