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.)

18-year-old Ebihara Chinami emits electrical waves when she becomes distressed. The more nervous she becomes, the worse the situation gets. Her latest transfer to a new school introduces her to Kotaro from the school's science club. She quickly finds herself with a number of new friends: Kotaro, who is interested in learning about her abilities by experimenting on her; Yumi, a classmate and shrine maiden with the same power as she; and Sonomi, Kotaro's jealous childhood-friend. But there are others who are watching from a distance and they refer to Chinami as having strong 'TYPE-E' powers. |
