Shoujo意思

"Shoujo" is a Japanese word that refers to a demographic in manga (Japanese comics) and anime (Japanese animation) targeted at young teenage girls, typically between the ages of 10 and 18. The term literally means "young girl" in Japanese. Shoujo manga and anime often feature themes of romance, friendship, and personal growth, and the artwork is characterized by large, expressive eyes and flowing, often colorful hair on the characters.

Shoujo stories can vary widely in tone and content, from light-hearted and comedic to serious and dramatic. Common themes include the protagonist's journey of self-discovery, the challenges of growing up, and the complexities of teenage relationships. The genre also includes sub-genres such as magical girl series, in which young heroines are granted magical powers to fight evil.

Some well-known shoujo manga and anime series include "Sailor Moon," "Fruits Basket," "Cardcaptor Sakura," and "Nana." These series have gained popularity both in Japan and internationally, and have helped to define the shoujo genre for many fans around the world.
