According to Wikipedia the manga this series is adapted from was published in a Josei magazine called Melody. I am posting this here because I couldn't find a way to edit the "Information" section for an anime entry.

True that man. Mal mods have one job and they can't even do that properly.

Melody magazine is advertised as a shoujo but marketed towards an older audience. Hakusensha does not technically have josei magazines plus josei itself as a demo doesn't really exist. It's listed here in the girl manga section (shoujo)

@Angglio_1

Under the "Business Activities" heading on their "About Us" page Hakusensha's website also lists their magazine Young Animal as a "boys' magazine". However, I've never seen Berserk labeled as Shounen rather than Seinen. Thus, I don't think it is unreasonable to call Melody a Josei magazine. Also, the Wikipedia article on Melody links multiple Japanese sources that seemingly refer to it as such.

What do you mean by Josei doesn't really exist? Do you mean in general or just in context of Hakusensha?

Hakusensha doesn’t have Josei as a listed demographic

@Angglio_1 Can confirm. Recently I've been in Japan and the only section I've seen in stores is "comics for girls". No distinction between shoujo and josei, whereas shounen and seinen were usually distinct. I suppose the term "josei" was more common in the past, but it's getting rarer now.

Yes, but I suppose it is because the magazine targeted to young girls, not due to the error in the genre.
