Josei

Josei manga (女性漫画^?, lit. comics for women, pronounced [dʑoseː]) are Japanese comics aimed at women in their late teens on into adulthood. Josei manga are distinguished from "shōjo manga" (少女漫画) for younger girls on the one hand, and "ladies comics" (レディースコミックス, redīsu komikkusu^?) or "LadyComi" (レディコミ, redikomi^?), which tend to have erotic content on the other. Readers can range in age from 15 to 44. In Japanese, the word means simply "woman", "female", "feminine", "womanhood", and has no manga-related connotations at all.

Josei comics can portray realistic romance, as opposed to the mostly idealized romance of shōjo manga, but it does not always have to be. Josei tends to be both more sexually explicit and contain more mature storytelling, although that is not always true either. It is also not unusual for themes such as infidelity and rape to occur in josei manga targeted specifically more towards mature audiences. Some other famously popular josei series include Yun Kouga's Loveless, Ai Yazawa's Paradise Kiss, and the award-winning works of Erica Sakurazawa.
