Acquired Taste: (

Josei: (
Target Group) (
↗josei (
女性) = "woman"; opposite of "
Seinen") Josei manga is a term that refers to the target demographic of manga created mostly by women for late teenage and adult female audiences. The stories tend to be about everyday experiences of women living in Japan. Though there are some that cover high school, most cover the lives of adult women. The style also tends to be a more restrained, realistic version of
Shoujo manga, keeping some of the wispy features and getting rid of the very large sparkly eyes. There are exceptions in the style described above, but what defines Josei is some degree of stylistic continuity of comics within this particular demographic. The same is true with different demographics that have different stylistic tendencies. See also:

In "Chapter L", Takemoto asks Mayama and Morita about a vacant room in the apartment building, and is told about an amazing senpai named "Lohmeyer". "He was a wonderful person" Mayama explains, "serene as the northern plains... powerful, lustrous, and... juicy"? Likewise, Takemoto later notices a poster advertising a "Legendary Hero Search" and Mayama tells him about a costume-wearing theme park employee who once held that title; a person with "manliness flowing out of him, even when covered with fur". "Chapter F" involves "the story of the Fujiwara Design Office before Mayama-kun began working there". The mischievious Miwako buys a "ridiculous" shirt for fellow worker Yamazaki as a prank--and he is immediately acclaimed "The King of Fashion". Miwako cannot tolerate a failed practical joke, and thus begins a never-ending search for tasteless clothing...
