Shoujo manga, as the name implies, is a category of manga aimed primarily at female audiences.
Compared to shonen magazines, its defining characteristic is a much higher proportion of romantic plotlines. After all, these manga are constructed to satisfy the latent needs of women.
If shonen manga focuses most on passionate battles and hot-blooded friendship, then shoujo manga tends to lean more towards depicting intense interpersonal relationships.
Generally speaking, shoujo magazines are more precocious than shonen magazines.
"Kaguya-san.... Hayasaka-san, this book is so lewd.... I think I know why my father explicitly forbade me from reading them."
Shinomiya Kaguya: "Then stop reading it right now! There's still a boy in the room!"
Uchiha Ryo smiled without saying a word. You guys treated me as non-existent when you started reading, and only realized I was here after you finished, right....
Hayasaka Ai: "I understand, Kaguya-sama. Ryo-kun~ could I ask you to go out for a moment?"
Uchiha Ryo: "Hmm?"
Hayasaka Ai whispered quietly, "You go out first. With you here, they definitely won't dare to express their opinions on this manga. Don't worry! I'll tell you what they said later."
Uchiha Ryo nodded, then stood up and said to Shinomiya Kaguya, "Shinomiya-san, I'll go for a walk in the yard. Call me when you're done reading."
Just as Uchiha Ryo went out, Fujiwara Chika finally couldn't help but lean on Shinomiya Kaguya. However, her hands didn't stop moving; she continued flipping through the manga book that seemed like a door to a new world.
Hayasaka Ai also walked up and sat on Fujiwara Chika's other side, touching her somewhat hot cheek with concern.
"Chika-san... are you okay?"
Fujiwara Chika: "Ugh.... I'm okay. Although there are lewd parts, the other parts are fine."
[You—become mine.]
[I'm going to eat you up—.]
Shinomiya Kaguya also saw a few lines on the manga page, but her deep-rooted aristocratic thinking gave her a different perspective from the average young girl (Fujiwara Chika).
"Is this really okay? I feel like this forceful approach of treating a woman as one's possession makes me a bit uncomfortable...."
In Shinomiya Kaguya's perception, the Shinomiya family was born to control other nobles. Anyway, she would absolutely never allow herself to become someone else's possession; the other way around would be more like it....
This was also one of the reasons why Shinomiya Kaguya believed that the first one to confess is the loser. She couldn't possibly let the dignified young lady of the Shinomiya family become the weaker party.
Regarding this, Hayasaka Ai clearly thought her young lady simply wasn't right in the head. But now.... it seemed there was another person opposing the Shinomiya ideology.
Fujiwara Chika shook her head.
"No.... it's not like that. Ugh.... anyway, the feeling of wanting to become someone else's possession... I can't say I resist it; on the contrary, I'm kind of looking forward to it."
Shinomiya Kaguya: "Fujiwara-san?!"
Kaguya completely didn't understand why Fujiwara-san, whom she thought she knew well, would reveal such a mindset. Becoming someone else's possession and whatnot.... As the daughter of a politician, can you say such things?
"Please wake up, Fujiwara-san! Look, a man who forces a kiss on you first thing in the morning in a manga is definitely not a good person!!"
Fujiwara Chika was a bit coy. Indeed, because Uchiha Ryo wasn't in the room, her speech became bolder.
"No way... uh, although forcing is a bit that... but I seem to be able to accept it, though it also depends on the other party's level! Settings like the male lead in the manga... are top-tier!"
Shinomiya Kaguya: "Huh??"
She didn't understand! Is this reasonable? This is absolutely unreasonable!
Being snatched away, being forced, wanting to become a possession, wanting to be eaten up....
Shinomiya Kaguya believed she hadn't missed any knowledge from school health classes, but what was the situation with the current Fujiwara Chika? It wasn't written in the textbooks at all!
Kaguya turned her head to look at Hayasaka Ai, but Hayasaka Ai nodded naturally. It was normal for her young lady not to understand.
After all, how could school textbooks write about those... relatively abnormal special fetishes (abnormal XP) knowledge.
However, Hayasaka Ai also didn't expect that Fujiwara Chika actually had such a deeply hidden fetish of [liking to be treated forcefully]....
Hayasaka Ai could understand, but Shinomiya Kaguya absolutely couldn't!
She thought her friend must be sick. Yes, a fever must have caused problems with her brain thinking. After all, she herself was the type whose cognitive abilities declined during illness.
Or could it be! They are the normal ones, and my sensibility is strange?
Seeing Fujiwara Chika talking to Hayasaka Ai again with strange words she couldn't understand, Shinomiya Kaguya hurriedly took the manga book over.
"Uh.... for this one, I feel it's very nice, I can accept it!"
Shinomiya Kaguya smiled, then showed the panel to the two of them.
In the manga book, a man and a woman were sitting in the library sharing a pair of earphones, studying quietly there.
"Heh...."
Fujiwara Chika smiled imperceptibly. That was mockery, right? That was definitely mockery! Shinomiya Kaguya sensed Fujiwara Chika's disdain.
If Fujiwara Chika was level one like Kaguya before reading the book, the current Chika-chan was a level ten boss!
"Well.... it's nothing, as long as Kaguya likes it herself~ This kind of children-oriented, uh.... cute-oriented work is also very nice."
Cute-oriented?!!
Fujiwara Chika turned her head and continued to discuss those high-level XP systems with Hayasaka Ai.
Shinomiya Kaguya felt excluded.... Clearly, one side was her best friend, and the other was the maid who was like a sister since childhood. Why couldn't she understand what they were talking about at all!
After a long time, Fujiwara Chika closed the book. Her flushing pretty face seemed to still be recalling the manga content just now.
"Kaguya-san! Can you lend these manga to me? I feel like I'm going to evolve!"
This is evolution? Shinomiya Kaguya wanted to question. She felt Fujiwara Chika was clearly being corrupted, okay!
"Uh.... but doesn't your family forbid you from reading these things.... Even if you take them back, they will be discovered by Uncle Fujiwara, right?"
Fujiwara Chika suddenly felt a bit down.
Instead, Hayasaka Ai narrowed her eyes and patted Fujiwara Chika's head. "It's okay, Chika-san. As long as you still want to read~ then just come to Shinomiya-san's house...."
Gulp—
The pure Secretary Chika was tempted. Looking at the thick stack of shoujo manga remaining, she was really going to be corrupted, wah!!
Fujiwara Chika: "Then please! Kaguya-san. I will stay over tonight!"
Shinomiya Kaguya: "....Suit yourself."
