Shoujo Manga Cliches: Annoying Female Characters

So with my recent comeback to my blog, I'm going to start writing about shoujo manga cliches. If you read shoujo manga as frequently as I do. You will know what I'm talking about.
  1. The Crybaby/ mentally weak female lead - one of the most god damn annoying cliches in the whole shoujo manga world. If an author is too lazy to think up something original, they'll whip out this 1 dimensional character. Girls like this frequently exist for the guy they love; they have no depth at all. They don't have any deep relationships with friends or even family members, their sad little lives revolve around their high school crush or loved one.

Playful Kiss vs It Started With A Kiss

 WARNING: The following statements are my opinion and don't take anything I say as a personal insult to you. Please gtfo trolls.

Itazura Na Kiss, if you have never heard of this manga than you haven't been living in shoujo manga universe for long. This ever popular manga was written by the Mother of shoujo manga cliches, Tada Kaoru. Unfortunately, when moving house, she got into a terrible accident that lead to her death; leaving this manga incomplete forever~  
dun dun dun

This didn't stop it from having an anime, a J-movie, a T-drama and now a K-drama.

I personally haven't watched the Japanese movie so I can't make a judgement on that but I can make a judgment on the other two. The only reason why I'm doing this now is because I heard these girls say :

I like Playful Kiss, it's so cute. I don't like the Taiwanese version. The characters don't look too appealing. It's bad, don't watch it
