Description

Covers all 3 volumes of Love in Focus by Yoko NogiriLove in Focus is a very cute and subtly subversive series about a high school love triangle between Mako, Kei, and Mitsuru and their experiences with a photography club. Shojo & Tell host Ashley and her boytoy Asher heap tons of praise on this highly aware manga. Ashley rants about why Kei is too relatable and therefore is aggravating, there's debate about the state of photography in the modern day, and there are revelations about what makes Mako a refreshing shojo manga protagonist. In the end, this episode turns into a relationship advice podcast.REFERENCESLove in Focus is available physically and digitally from KodanshaIf you like Love in Focus, you may also like these series: Wake Up, Sleeping Beauty, Waiting for Spring, and Daytime Shooting StarOther manga mentions: Magic Knight Rayearth, SP Baby, Ouran High School Host Club, Kimi ni Todoke, Maid-SamaYoko Nogiri's other series is That Wolf-Boy is Mine!Kei reminds Ashley of Kento from Kimi ni TodokeOutro song: "The Streatham Hill Gods" by DanosongsCONTACT USAsher on Archive of Our Own: dasheryShojo & Tell on Twitter, Tumblr, and InstagramAshley on Twitter: @AshMcD00

Titles in the series (100)

A manga discussion podcast focusing on shojo (and josei!) series that make your heart go doki-doki. Covering classics like CLAMP’s “Cardcaptor Sakura” and Yuu Watase’s “Fushigi Yuugi” to newer favorites like Kazune Kawahara’s “My Love Story!!” and Hiro Fujiwara’s “Maid Sama!” Shojo & Tell host Ashley McDonnell discusses one series per episode with a rotating shojo superfan. (And sometimes, a shoujo superfan.) Shojo [or shoujo] manga: Japanese comics made for young women. A breath of fresh air after reading 72 volumes of “Naruto.” The underappreciated sibling of all those same-y never-ending shonen titles.
