The shoujo girls take us back to the roots of shoujo manga, naming and evaluating works that have shaped the manga industry and continue to rank in the top shoujo of all time. Sho-chan, Summosa, and Aza also break down "classic" vs "popular" and debate which manga are deserving of these titles. We also got on a tangent about Madoka Magica for some reason.
