Many shojo anime fans flock to the genre for the beautiful animation and romantic plot lines. Typically, the feel-good plots allow audiences to warm their hearts as they watch a couple fall in love. However, not all shojo anime have a satisfying ending.
As unfortunate as it sounds, there are many shojo anime that are either incomplete or have unrewarding endings. This could be due to various factors, including the show getting canceled or the central couple not getting together. Whatever the reason, anime fans will not rest until they know their favorite characters' full stories.
10 Convenience Store Boy Friends Left Us Wanting To Know Miharu's Fate
Convenience Store Boy Friends focuses on best friends, Haruki Mishima and Towa Honda, as they navigate high school life and romance.
