Shōjo anime

Shōjo, shojo, or shoujo manga (少女漫画, shōjo manga^?) is manga aimed at a teenage female readership. The name romanizes the Japanese (), literally "young woman". Shōjo manga covers many subjects in a variety of narrative styles, from historical drama to science fiction, often with a focus on romantic relationships or emotions. Strictly speaking, however, shōjo manga does not comprise a style or genre, but rather indicates a target demographic.

Japanese magazines specifically for girls, known as shōjo magazines, first appeared in 1903 with the founding of Shōjo kai (少女界^?, Girls' World) and continued with others such as Shōjo Sekai (少女世界^?, Girls' World) (1906) and the long-running Shōjo no tomo (少女の友^?, Girls' Friend) (1908).
