Shoujo: (
Target Group) (
↗shoujo (
少女) = "young lady", "virgin", "maiden"; opposite of "
Shounen") A style of artwork and story created for girls (usually of age 10 to 18). Characterized by plots that focus on emotion and relationships, and art that tends toward the florid, with lanky characters and rather effeminate (but always attractive) men. Mostly popular with teenagers in Japan, most shoujo-style work has not spread widely, but it does occasionally gain recognition outside Japan (some examples are Revolutionary Girl Utena and X). The most common uses are "shoujo manga", literally meaning "girls' comics", and "shoujo anime" meaning "girls' animation." Also romanized as "shojo" (actually
a different word "処女"
in Japanese). (Please credit

Mahou Shoujo: (
Characters) (
↗mahou ↗shoujo = "magic girl") These are titles which feature young girls who are given magical powers by a powerful entity or come from a realm where magic is the norm.

Haru Tsuwabuki is a normal student, though not very social. One day he bumps in a student, Sumomo Akihime, and makes her cry. As an apology he ends up joining the gardening club that Sumomo belongs to. Later during his initiation he is given a drink by the advisor, but then he bumps into a strange guy with dog ears, switching his drink with the odd guy's by mistake. Taking a drink turns him into a stuffed animal. The advisor tells him that the only way to return to normal is to find the "Chosen Girl" and let her catch the Seven Stardrops. This girl is Sumomo, who agrees to help him, though she's not allowed to know the stuffed animal's true identity.
