Shoujo Girl Summer Room: How to Start Your Mornings like Your Favorite Shoujo Animes!
Growing up, I watched a lot of shoujo animes with characters that I deeply resonated with. However, the character’s personality wasn’t the only thing I was interested in, but also the idea or rather aesthetic of a girl in a shoujo anime. Shoujo anime, in essence, is written and visually crafted into the ideal of what young girls would enjoy and find aesthetically pleasing. Most of the time the aesthetic covers a lot of things from Y2K styles, coquette and even academia. Some common imagery of the shoujo aesthetic is a cozy breakfast, butter on toast with some tea on the side, the setting that takes place as a young girl in her first year in highschool is about to be late for school. She probably takes the toast in her mouth and runs to school with it.
But we’re not going to talk about firsts and springs, we’re going to delve into the summers. In the summer, we’re thinking about picnics and beaches, perhaps waking up late in the morning with a cup of tea or coffee. In this case, the shoujo girl summer aesthetic consists of long flowy dresses and cute sandals, showing up for their date with a straw hat on too. Or perhaps she wants to stay home and have a relaxing day. Either way, here are different ways on how you can start your days like your favourite shoujo anime!

From Me to You: Shoujo Summer Home Date with Friends
In the anime From Me To You, Sawako, our protagonist gets up early to bake her friends a strawberry cake before they arrive. When they arrive, they chat about life in her adorable room while having the strawberry cake that Sawako has baked for them. And although the story of the anime focuses more on love, it never falls short to bring up how friendships and girlhood are important for young girls in these shoujo animes.
Starting your morning with a home-date with your girlies is one of the perfect ways to start your day. Whether it be snacking in your room or having brunch with your friends, there are so many ways you can spend a day with your friends without having to go to any public places. Perhaps couples with some pillows and snacks, you could have morning tea with them, or even have a cold smoothie with the windows open to let some cool air.
There are also some ways you can level up your summer room before your friend visit:
Bright and vibrant colours
Picnic blanket patterns
Light and cooling blankets
A good lighting by the window
Remember that the perfect summer morning in shoujo animes doesn't always require you to have a romantic interest or a date! Sometimes, shoujo is all about that girlhood and experiencing what it's like to be just a girl, or you can say, a girl in a shoujo world.

My Lv.999 Love for Yamada: The Gamer Shoujo
Maybe instead of hanging out with friends in person, you have a lot of long distance friends just like Akane in My Lv.999 Love for Yamada. In the anime, she spends her summer playing games and meeting up with her online friends to have fun. So perhaps if you’re a gamer girl, getting some stretches in before logging on to your games may be the perfect way to start your summer morning.
Make sure that your windows are open and bed sheets clean and airy for maximizing the comfy vibes when you play games with your friends. If the Sun is too hot for the day, you can always draw your curtains, but keep the windows slightly open still! If it’s too dim, we recommend some light room lighting to help brighten up the room so it doesn’t look too somber while gaming. This was you can have your perfect shoujo girl summer!
We recommend any of these activities before you hop on your morning game:
Taking a cold shower
Having a cold drink or breakfast prepared
Some light exercise
Skincare routine
In this way, you can play games with the best mind and physical shape without feeling exhausted from sitting all morning!

A Silent Affection: A Shoujo Girl Summer with Him
A Silent Affection is a newer shoujo anime that deals more with an adult relationship, and with that comes different portrayals of how a couple starts their morning together at home. Although it wasn’t shown in the anime yet, the manga shows the couple living together and spending a lot of their mornings together at home. Which brings us to one of the ways you could be spending your shoujo girl summer morning with your partner!
Perhaps you want to sleep in together more, in that case we suggest you use some light and airy blankets. Or perhaps you want to take a bath together, then how about matching towels or bathrobes. Either way, there are endless possibilities on what you can do in the morning with your partner to feel like the cute main couple in A Silent Affection. Perhaps to elevate the experience, you might decorate your room with something minimalistic and modern, something that makes you feel like you’re a new couple that just moved in together. Morning dates like these are what essentially makes a shoujo morning date so romantic. As we are talking about your typical romance, shoujo is never complete without spending a cute morning with your partner.
We also suggest that maybe one or the other does something for the other (just like they do in shoujo animes), some of these ideas can include:
Breakfast in bed
Brewing coffee for the other
Preparing a home picnic together

Apothecary Diaries: Shoujo Selfcare and Wellbeing
This one shoujo anime is not quite like the others. Although there is a love interest for our protagonist Maomao, we don’t quite see them together until far down the plot. But that doesn’t matter when Maomao is busy waking up for another day of herb picking and studying remedies for illnesses. Fearnot, whether you are a science girl or business or arts girl, there’s a way you can start your morning to feel like Maomao from the Apothecary Diaries. Remember that shoujo doesn't always mean romance, but sometimes shoujo means being a girl trying to live out their lives.
One of the things that stands out in this show is the use of vibrant colours and flowers to represent the different factions and character personalities. For Maomao's perfect shoujo girl summer, we want to focus on Maomao, who’s main colours consist of green, pink and yellow; we suggest that you find bright decor that might make your room like Maomao’s little pharmacy corner. However the colours aren’t the only thing that can elevate your morning experience, perhaps you can also try adding some flower decor for the fresh morning look, or have some tea in bed in the morning while catching up on the latest news. This way you can have the perfect shoujo girl summer look!
And even though you are alone, remember that girlies who take time to be alone and recharge for their mental health are the best kind of girlies! After all, the shoujo girl summer isn't always all about dates and being actively social. Sometimes, the perfect shoujo girl summer requires you to kick back on your own and relax.

Final Thoughts
There are endless possibilities on how to spend your summer morning as a shoujo girl, whether it be spending time with friends in person or online, spending your morning with your partner, or even just being alone and recharging. Everyone has different ways and preferences and there isn’t one correct answer or solution to making out your best shoujo girl summer morning. Remember that you don’t always have to spend time with someone and that even recharging alone and taking care of yourself is something the more modern shoujo anime girls are doing these days!
In summary, from modern shoujo to historical shoujo, these are the four ways you can start your mornings as a shoujo girl. The shoujo girl isn’t always one set character anymore with one set aesthetic, she is different things and unique in her own way and has different ways she can choose to start her morning.
