Skip Beat, a shōjo mangaThe term
shōjo,
shojo, or
shoujo manga (
少女漫画, shōjo manga) refers to
manga marketed to a female audience roughly between the ages of 10-18. The name romanizes the Japanese 少女 (shōjo), literally: "little female". Shōjo manga covers many subjects in a variety of narrative and graphic styles, from
historical drama, to
boys' love, to
science fiction — often with a strong focus on human and
romantic relationships and emotions. Strictly speaking, shōjo manga does not comprise a style or a genre per se, but rather indicates a target demographic. Examples include
Cardcaptor Sakura,
Ouran High School Host Club,
Fruits Basket,
Fushigi Yuugi,
Sailor Moon,
Vampire Knight,
Romeo x Juliet,
Princess Ai,
Pretty Cure,
Skip Beat, and
Tokyo Mew Mew.
