| Cliffhangers. Cliched backstories. Repetitive plot twists that slowly lose their purpose. Story arcs taking too long. Rushed endings. Cookie-cutter character designs. |
| I'm going to go w/ the guy who's to big of a pussy to do anything in life worth while for most of the series. U know the guy weak, scared of women, etc, etc lol. I guess if you start at that level of manhood it's easier to develop them to a stronger character but really? Also I'm going w. the choir on boy meet girl, loves girl, can't admit it to themselves much less one another. It's even more annoying when they play grab ass the entire series and they kill off the character after they come to terms w/ thier feeling.... I mean really? Sub plot of the entire series and you kill one of them off before they even get some private time haha. I'd name example but why bother. |
| - When the lead character fights chapter after chapter because his one and truely love is in danger and at the end they don't even kiss once... That always makes me feel as if there was no point in the whole manga. - When the most awesome character has to die, just to give the main character a reason to get revenge on the bad guy. |

| 1. Annoying heroines. 2. When 2 people like each other but there are like a million misundestandings and they take forever to actually get together. (aka. Kimi ni todoke etc.) 3. When 2 people like each other and one confesses but the other one still turns them down for some stupid reason. 4. Something where everything has already been resolved in the first chapter but then shit happens and in the end, nothing really changed. 5. Characters who find it necessary to butt into other peoples' relationships. 6. Indecisive characters. 7. Characters that blush EVERY SINGLE SECOND. SERIOUSLY. 8. Over dramatization. 9. Manga that goes on forever, but nothing really happens. =_= 10. Main characters that look alike. 11. Characters that cut their hair, then look super ugly. (watashitachi no shiawase na jikan) 12. Manga that ends without having a clear resolution. |

ryxd said: When a character beats some super powerful bad guy that nobody else could deal with then gets treated exactly the same, as if nothing ever happened.. Totally agree. Although I agree with most of the things that have been posted here. Can't really come to think about something special at the moment, most of the things have already been brought up e.g. Stupid guys picking the wrong girl, stupid girl picking the wrong guy, stupid girls being all bitchy during like forever when it's obvious she's in love with the guy she's picking on and muuch more I can't come to think about. I don't care about sex in manga so things that have to do with that doesn't annoy me. |
| 1) When the artwork is too spastic and crazy to understand what's going on. 2) Plots holes so big, you believe the mangaka doesn't even know what's going on. 3) Cliches and predictability. |
| Cliffies!! They seem to always happen and it makes me go crazy waiting for the next chapter!! |
| 1. In yaoi when there's nothing else that sex sex sex every chapter. 2. Forced sex is another really irritating thing. 3. Girls that always cry when something sad happens to them. It doesn't bother me if it's just sometimes but too much is too much. 4. When I can't tell is the character a boy or a girl. Once when I read some manga ( I can't remember the name) I really thought that one character was a girl when he actually was a boy and when I found out this I was just shocked. |
Why does the world want to become one? Dreams and ideals are not supposed to be the same. |
| Weak-willed main characters. I just can't do it anymore. And when authors paint a picture of rape scenes in yaoi as romantic, unless the story/characters have become psychologically twisted, which could be interesting in their own way. Maybe. |
| when the guy falls in love with the air head and not thhe hot badass girl |
 |
| Incomprehensible action scenes. |
 |
| When they show how obvious the main character with a special person will go out in the future |

Eiri_Shuichi said: 1. In yaoi when there's nothing else that sex sex sex every chapter. Why you pissed off by that? Aren't yaoi porn for women to begin with? Yeah actually that's the main reason I stopped reading yaoi mangas long time ago. Back to topic, outright glorification of sexism in shoujo mangas, especially smutty ones. Why bother to free yourself while you can be raped by a hot guy? |
Necocoa said: In BL: -The lines "but we're both guys" (<-Especially when the characters are already in a relationship.) and "I'm not gay, I just love X-san" -The characters meeting for the first time, falling in love, and screwing each other all within the first chapter -An uke that has no personality whatsoever and is more stereotypically feminine and spineless than the most cliche of cliche shoujo heroines (*cough* Ayase*cough*) -Rape (unless it's to add drama to a manga and it is treated as the horrible thing it is, and is seriously regretted by whoever did it, or if it is a dark manga, not an "I love you so much that I couldn't help myself so it's ok!" BS situation where it's glorified as the ultimate expression of LURVE in the end.) In shoujo: -The main girl ending up with a jerky guy (unless he starts out as a jerk, but goes through some character development throughout the series that makes him not a jerk) or the dark, broody guy with no personality whatsoever. -Outright sexism ("but you're a girl", "you'll never be married if you act like that", "girls are supposed to be x, y, z" "you can't do this or that because you are just a girl after all" etc) -Spinelessness or glorifying spinelessness Can't speak of shounen manga because I do not read much shounen manga. Pretty much this, especially the rape. God, how many times have a facepalmed when I saw the usually ''Hey, sorry about raping you yesterday, don't know what came over me'' and the girl with a little sad face answers '' it's ok, don't worry about it''. You have to be a real sick fuck to not mind that. I also don't get when girls fall over a guy who has no personality whatsoever. And he is constantly bored of everything and wants to be left alone. When he is dragged around to have fun with girls he calls it a pain. |
 |
| The really kind doormat + the sometimes lovable jerk/bitch relationship. |
| Rape. It makes me wish the rapist gets his balls chopped off. |
| When the heroine character is so dense about the guy liking her back. Or when there's a love triangle, and two females fight over a male that takes up 15 chapters. |
    |
magmell said: When two characters who obviously love each other take like 10 volumes to even admit it/realize it. i agree with this, it makes the manga feel painfully long |
| Huge panels wasted on one character saying one line in a pose for three pages, and the "attack that takes three different angles to look epic" really irritates me to no end. Like a punch in the face, it'll have that 'krak' at the side, 'krak' in the back, and the 'krak' sfx when the fist is pushed into the cheek. I also hate it when authors make things blurry and retarded looking and you don't know what's happening. |
| Yaoi thing: straight seme is raping his friend who is secretly in love with him, saying ''I can't hold it anymore'' and the uke is like ''ah okay, being raped by your love isn't such a big deal, let's do this'' seriously, RAPE isn't cool however you look at this. and mangas when things are happening too fast. Straight guy becoming a horny gay in five minutes after a confession from another guy? jesus I'd kill for such sexappeal. oh, another thing, shoujo. (the F word here) SHY GIRLS. ''oh, I'm sorry X-kun'', ''y-yes...'' when i read something like this my only thought is said already what you have to say or just D-I-E B-I-T-C-H. oh yes, im better now. good night minna. |

| Mangaka who can't draw for shit. That would be 90% of shoujo artists. :) Bad panelling, either because it's boring or confusing. Manga that makes you think the author's fucked in the mind. Telling and not showing. Fucking lazy art. Yeah, draw bubbles and insert computer-generated gradients there, why don't you. When mangaka don't realize that it's perfectly OKAY to NOT have speech bubbles in a panel or two. When mangaka have like four or five speech bubbles in a moderately-sized panel. Lineart that's not dynamic. |

Yeah actually that's the main reason I stopped reading yaoi mangas long time ago. Somebody may read yaoi cause it has gay porn but I don't. I read it cause I think that two guys in love is cute and therefore I want to see them doing some other stuff than always just sex. |

Why does the world want to become one? Dreams and ideals are not supposed to be the same. |
| I have a lot. 1. A never-ending story arc 2. Characters which look very much alike 3. Super pointy chins (yes, I HATE them!) 4. Overly confusing plot *cough* CLAMP *cough* *I love CLAMP but they seem to enjoy confusing the hell out of their readers. 5. In yaoi : Semes who rape the ukes just because they were pissed off about something. Seriously? A good punch or two would do it. 6. Shoujo : The men are always so freakin perfect. (rich, athletic, talented, gorgeous) and the women are often portrayed as simple, weird, OR unattractive. Sheesh. 7. Shoujo : Men who have stoic personalities yet all the girls are after them. |
| brother complex making the evil brother look innocent thus deviating the right decision |
 |
| I HATE Love Triangles! And stupid naive girls who are nice to anyone/everyone when they shouldn't be. And I also hate how the "public" (characters) or anything else gets in the way of a romance. ... and a LOT more! x3 |
| Fighting scenes where a lot of things are supposed to be going on. I'm just sitting there thinking to myself "What the hell is going on?" |
| Manga that makes me think -.- |
| | Anime List | Manga List | It's been a while... |
| When the main character's friends have better and more interesting relationships than him/her. |
| 1.Fanservice in shoujo manga 2. Main female character realize she's in love with the lead guy when they did not even really interact with each other, in shoujo manga(there are exceptions) 3.Male character in shoujo manga 'pretending to rape' the main female character to tell her how she needs to be careful of guys. 4. Lead guy accidentally see female characters naked. |
 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ |
| When official releases are so slow I have to swap to scanlations if I want to read more, but (frequently, not always) all the terminology is different, translation is sometimes a bit off and (most importantly) the word arrangement is all over the place. It really irks me, but obviously I appreciate the work of scanlators. Sometimes they just need to introduce a new positon for a person who understands literature or the English language. They can then edit the often word-by-word translations into a coherent sentence. |
| The main guy's fanatics (usually in a triage or more) who gang up on the main girl. Also, girls who fake cry and think it's cute when really it's just plain annoying. |
| When absolutely NO progress is made for like 5 volumes, and these five volumes consist of the endless nagging "but I can't get over him...."

| Woo. |
| 1. Unnecessarily big harem whose members don't even have real personality, they just have to be there so that everyone can find their favourite stereotype. 2. Girls groping other girls for fun. And the victim not giving her attacker a right hook but making cute / sexy noises. 3. The guy main character barging in when the girl main character isn't wearing anything. Or a guy barging into the girl locker room when they are changing. This happens all the time. 4. Ridiculously big breasts. Just a few would be enough because let's admit it, they do occur sometimes in real life too, but does every story have to have at least one girl with enormous boobs?! 5. Crazy fanclubs in schools. OK, they might exist in reality. Some. Just like the melon-sized boobs. But it is so common in anime/manga that the hero/heroine is bullied by the fanclub of the girl/boy they love, or who they don't even love but just happen to hang around a little. There must be even more. Let me think. ^_^ |
| I really hate it when the female main-character forgives the male main-character for something really nasty too easily. I know it's better for the story to progress, but it's seriously annoying sometimes. Like.. you want her to be angry at him some more, but then she's the one who's apologizing or shit like that. God. |
| I do agree with most of what i mentioned in other post I read. Few other things are :- 1. Repeating bad guys - By this i mean bad guys who get defeated each time but they keep coming back. 2. Forced fan service like falling over guy, panty shots etc |
 |
| 1. Pages and pages of action panels. Motion lines can only do so much. 2. When the characters look the same or are all introduced at once. How am I supposed to know who is who when you look alike and have long names that I can't pronounce unless I hear it in the anime adaptation? 3. Confusing plots. 4. Excessive fanservice. |

| I don't really like tounramnet arcs too much. Also, I hate how the main cahracter in some slice of life, sports manga being some what overpowered later or genius player. |
