Line 1: {{cleanup\|The description is littered with unverified assumptions and at least one statement that ignores the [[Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment]]. Somebody who has knowledge of the actual topic - ''not'' the fanboy definition that lumps "ヤングレディース" and "Redikomi" together under "Josei" - needs to review and correct this page. Please post any suggested update to the Talk page.}} ~~{{Needs Image}}~~ {{Manga demographic target groups}} The [[Manga Demographics\|demographic category]] of [[Anime]] (and [[Manga]]) aimed mainly at girls. It is ''not'' a genre. Line 6 ⟶ 7: Alternately, Shoujo stories can focus on implied or explicit homosexual relationships between men (see [[Boys Love]] for the genre, [[Yaoi Guys]] for characters outside of the genre), or the romantic emphasis could also stem from [[Girls Love\|relationships between women]].{{verify}} Some feature all of the above, and usually feature a [[Relationship Ceiling]].{{verify}} Although series with explicit sexuality are more likely to be [[Josei]] (aimed at older women),{{verify}} some Shoujo may have considerable sexual content; ~~a subgenre{{context}}<!-- Shoujo is a demographic, not~~ a genre~~; how can it have sub-genres? -->~~ called ''Teens Love'' (by analogy to Boys Love) features erotic romance between heterosexual couples, with much the same narrative conventions ([[Bastard Boyfriend\|abusive boyfriends]], [[Rape Is Love\|sexual coercion]], and [[Angst]]; or, alternately, [[Sickeningly Sweethearts\|shmoopy romance]], [[Good People Have Good Sex\|ecstatic lovemaking]], and [[Happily Ever After]]). This stuff tends to snuggle up as close to the "Restricted" (18+) category as it can,{{verify}} and so isn't often licensed for translation.{{verify}} Not all romance series are Shoujo. [[Shonen]] romances take the boy's perspective ([[Magical Girlfriend]]s and [[Harem Series]] are both common), and focus on the boy pursuing the girl, or trying to resolve the [[Love Dodecahedron]]. If it doesn't have that, a [[Shonen]] romance tends to ''end'' with a declaration of love and its acceptance. Shoujo romances, by contrast, frequently involve the [[Smitten Teenage Girl\|heroine finding love early]] in the series, then stick around to watch the couple work through trouble in their relationship.
