Quantcast

Shoujo/1998/High School Titles

Not a genre but actually a demographic. Refers to anime based on manga that was originally serialized in a magazine targeting girls of any age. American fans seem to often be confused and classify any show that has romance and/or major female main characters as shoujo-- this is wrong.

Anime based on manga targeting young women would be called josei. (though very little of the manga targetting young women gets made into anime-- the only ones I can think of are Ebichu and Momoiro Sisters.)




Self-explanatory. High school (grades 10-12) should play a major role in the title. Azumanga Daioh is an excellent example of this category. A typical High school series will include a Sports Festival, a Cultural Festival, and a school Trip.

Buy "The heroine of the story, Yukino, is in her first year of high school. Beautiful and smart, she is the envy of her classmates...or rather, such is her facade. In fact, she is extremely concerned with appearances, and can't help playing the part of the top student where people can see her."
