But I wanted to share two ficlets that made my evening, both by![[info]](https://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
flibbergibbet:
Temp, which is Ino/Chouji with flower meanings and Ino being haughty and Chouji being as adorable as he innately is.
Mindfuck, which is either Sakura/Itachi or Sakura vs Itachi (I can't decide). Not only is it hot, interesting, and fucked up, it has a delightful little twist at the end that hits on of my Naruto specific bulletproof kinks.

So, you know Yankee-kun To Menage-chan? In which the badass tough guy
a.) is totally at the whim of the female lead
b.) desperately wants to impress said female lead
and is
c.) regularly out-badassed by female lead (yeah, that's right, she rescues him)
That manga? Is published in Shonen Jump, the home of such lovely gender!fail examples of shonen as Naruto and Bleach.
Do you think it's there to just satisfy the feminists? (It's published in Japan, trust me, it's not.) No, it's published because clearly, the target audience (all those adolescent boys who are supposed to read it, all the adolescent girls who actually do) likes Yankee-kun To Menage-chan.
I swear, the next time someone pulls that lame ass 'shonen is made for boys, it MUST be sexist by default' crap, I'm going to shove the first volume down their throat.
(This lovely fact and rant has been brought to you by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
onerottenpeach . She provided the facts, I provided the 'suck it, motherfuckers!' attitude.)
ETA: Okay, never mind, apparently I got the magazine's mixed up. Megane-chan airs in a different shonene manga magazine.
