To me it seems equally appealing to both females and males and the same goes for adults and adolescents. I don't understand why it's classified as Seinen, who did that and why? Late edit: the Seinen tag got removed from the genres some time after this topic was created and Comedy was added as the girls had a lot of fun. Drama should also get added because the stories of Shirase's dead mother, Hinata's bullying and Yuzuki's friendlessness were significant parts of the anime. |

No, this isn't my signature-desu. |
| Because it's Seinen! You can't watch it or like it or hate it unless you're seinen. Don't you dare not be seinen and watch it. It's just a tag dude. The intended audience is seinen. Get over it. |

I don't understand why it's classified as Seinen, who did that and why? This is actually a misconception a lot of people have. Pretty much the main reason why something is a Seinen, Josei, Shounen or Shoujo is basically the magazine the manga is running in. Not really the content/story itself. The manga is running in the "Comic Alive" magazine which is a seinen magazine, and so it's a Seinen. If this manga would have been in a Shoujo magazine, it would be a Shoujo. I see, that explains it but opens just another question: why is the manga only running in a seinen magazine? What makes it so seinen-specific that the producers decided to publish it only there? |

What makes it so seinen-specific that the producers decided to publish it only there? I mean it could be anything, really. The mangaka could have had a different manga that they were publishing on this magazine before, so they are already partners. The company wanted some diversity in their line up The mangaka won one of those Competitions were the winner gets to release their manga in the magazine etc Of course you are right in the sense, that the editor usually would try to find a story fitting for the magazin and demographic, but at the same time it‘s really not that unusual. There are plenty of Seinen mangas that you would easily see in a Shounen Magazine as well, and also a lot innocent Slice of Life manga. They just happen to be released in this magazine for whatever reason. First of all i want to clarify something. This series is original anime. what is mean? this series didn't adapt manga/LN/game etc. the story is originally written by anime staff (i assume its Jukki Hanada). Otherwise, Yorimoi manga is adapting the story of anime. The fact that manga series is published just 6 days before anime airing and on that time anime series is already finished in production and ready to airing. so why seinen? i can say its misunderstanding because manga adaptation of Yorimoi anime is running on seinen magazine, so someone just decided to give Yorimoi anime a seinen tag too. Also if one mangaka already partner with one company/magazine, they can't publish their story to another company. I can't answer why he decided to publish on seinen magazine, but i can see why Yorimoi manga published on Comic Alive magazine because its Media Factory magazine (Kadokawa company) and Kadokawa is one of Yorimoi producer. so i say it once again. Yorimoi manga adapt anime story, not otherwise. |

| I mean, genres are weird in MAL sometimes. This is not a seinen among other things because it's an original anime, therefore not apt for manga demography tags. The manga that was published simultaneously is seinen though. |

| MAL genre listings are almost as bad as their Ratings and should never be taken seriously. |
edelgord said: Because it's so deep, not your usual cringy girls doing cringy things and tons better than shitty Moe shows like k-on or madoka magica. Well your argument is inaccurate because K-On and Madoka Magica manga adaptation both were running on Seinen Magazine, Manga Time Kirara. So Deepness of the story doesn't decide demographic |
