"Watch More Shoujo" Merchandise!
We've got brand new designs on the AniFem store, created in collaboration with the fantastic @moon-toons!
Check them out!
Romance
Where would manga be without the bubbles, ribbons, and sparkles that helped give shoujo love stories such flair? The two lovestruck figures are also deliberately androgynous, to honor the fact that both yuri and BL have their roots in classic shoujo manga.
Revolution
It’s no secret that the staff of AniFem loves Revolutionary Girl Utena, but swords and roses trace all the way back to 1953’s Princess Knight. But more than that, it’s a way to honor how often shoujo has been on the cutting edge of grappling with progressive issues. It might not always do it well, and sometimes its attempts age poorly, but shoujo has always been a place where readers can explore questions about sexuality and gender identity, assault and autonomy, and women’s inner lives.
Get a t-shirt, tank top, or sticker today!

My latest Picmix GIF, this time in honour of the mysterious Folken Fanel. In this composition, the gears symbolise his association with science and engineering in Zaibach. The clocks represent how he knows his life will be cut short and that he is racing against time. The black feathers recall his black wings and the curse upon him. Folken is one of the most intriguing characters in the anime Vision of Escaflowne with his noble heart allied against his will to the evil forces of Zaibach. I find that he's also a sympathetic and accurate depiction of a depressed person in anime.
My Picmix composition uses official promotional art from the 1996 anime Vision of Escaflowne with digital edits.
