Hey there, I saw your recommendation with MHA and Banana Fish. I wanted to say that your little PS about MAL adding a shoujo tag to MHA is a bit inaccurate.
Even though both series have large appeal to a female fanbase, MHA is tagged as shounen because it is a series aimed at a young male demographic, and the manga is published in Shounen Jump.
Banana Fish, on the other hand, is tagged as shoujo partly because the BL elements are geared a lot more towards female fans, and the manga itself was originally serialised in a Shoujo magazine, so it was always targeted towards a young female demographic.
I mean no hard feelings by any of this, by the way :) It was just my thoughts on that detail
