Is it normal that i read shoujo?

I am a 17 year old average male. apart from being taller than most I would not consider myself to standout, nor am I effeminate in my mannerisms or day to day actions. I am also heterosexual in preference. However, I read gratuitous amounts of shoujo manga. I would consider myself a romantic, and shounen was not cutting it in that genre. I am sick of the typical weak male lead in a harem situation. So I turned to shoujo for my main manga staple. I sometimes think that I am not alone, and there are other men out there who like romance mangas but I have my doubts. I keep in the closet about my manga interests, and am fine to continue as such. All I want to know is if it is even slightly normal(acceptable) or not.

    • Japanese comics with a female lead character usually. Centers mainly on romance, but doesn't have to.

    Normal. I love manga, but I was always more partial towards the action/adventure ones. Now I did read Clamp's Chobits, which had some romance aspects to it and I liked it.

      What about romantic comedy with a pervy love interest, call it shuggy bear and me

    Totally normal dude :) us romantic guys are a dying breed, but there are still a few of us out there. I'm totally a sucker for romance - movies, books, manga, you name it. Don't let other people's opinions influence what you like and dislike! Keep at it and stay true to yourself.

    Have fun man :D
