Man, this piece confuse me, AniDB says this anime is seinen, MAL says this anime is shoujo wich is total opposite. So is it intended for teens girls or for adult men audience ? Elsewhere, they rather don't categorize it at all .

The manga is shoujo, all I can say.
I definitely have superpowers. I can feel it in my balls.

Anime isn't exactly tagged the same way manga is.

Shoujo/seinen/shounen/josei - it's all trivial. It's just a matter of what target audience the magazine the manga is published in is.

Often the tags will carry over for the manga. So an anime based off a shoujo manga will be a shoujo anime, a seinen manga means a seinen anime, etc.

You could also argue the timeslots have a say in the target audience, but that's iffy.

Thank you for your reply.

Yeah i would not say otherwise too if i didn't find it tagged as seinen elsewhere.

Also it's not rule that anime should be targeted at same audience as were manga readers/visual novel players. Often happens that targeted audience is changed for sake of earnings from purchases.

And art looks similar to seinen but also bit as shoujo. Really confusing for me.

That's why i ask for opinion of someone who actually watched anime and can tell.

I'm sorry for complicating this matter, but please bear with me little longer :)

Is it a Shoujo? Is it a Seinen?

It is a mystery.



OH SNAP!

Yeah it is, that's probably reason why there's such disorder in tags

Alright let me ask differently, does the story follow male or female protagonist?

Can you hear thoughts of one of them while the other one's thinking process is seen only from outside by his/her actions ?
if yes , which character is the one who leads the story and his/her thinking can be heard ?

You can't see that it's a shoujo?

The main character is a normal female, meets a bishounen male who is kinda stoic, but really has deep feelings about his father and mother. And eventually falling in love with him, everyone else is a bishounen too, it deals with rape and love.

That's the definition of shoujo(besides most shoujos probably not having rape).
