	COMICON.com: YOU SAY SHOUJO I SAY SHOJO: COMICS FOR GIRLS
		Shoujo is a term that encompasses a number of distinctive styles and themes, catering to a broad range of tastes in order to cover the widest possible female market.
		Even in shoujo with plots as shallow as puddles, the heroine is challenged to change in some way, whether it is to save the world, stop a war, stand up to bullies, or just to accept herself.
		Shoujo is, however, populated by some of the nastiest, meanest characters you're ever likely to meet, making the argument that women are more ruthless to their characters than men are.

	Article: Shounen vs Shoujo, by Lianne (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Shoujo has its fair share of superhero stories--take Sailor Moon, for example, and all the "magical girl" (yes, that's the name of a genre) manga like it--but shoujo features many titles about nothing special at all: just a girl, and the boy she's in love with, and their romantic hijinks.
		Shoujo is usually more individualistic, where things centralize more on the lead's personal development and that of her mate.
		Shoujo color art is usually superior, with breathtaking color palettes and artistic styling as opposed to shounen's simple "colored-in covers" feel of most of its color work.

		The shoujo style and its rising attraction in the U.S. was the focus of a Saturday convention panel.
		Shoujo is more decorative, almost making each panel like a painting, and i think that's what fascinates me the most." Keith Mayerson, an artist who also is an instructor at the School of Visual Arts, agrees on the richness of shoujo art and the way it's used to show a character's feelings.
		The shoujo animation expert on the panel was a male; Yasuhiro Irie, the director of Vision of Escaflowne and Rahxephon.

		Shoujo tends to shift with the scene, creating scenes that tend to flow together to show mood or feeling (this is more apparent in shoujo manga rather than anime, as panel layout and overlays tend to illustrate this kind of method to telling the story).
		Shoujo anime and manga, because they tend to be more concerned with feeling and the creation of a developmental story, lean towards a focus on the relationship and interaction of characters.
		Shoujo is greatly known among anime and manga fans alike today, but a subcategory of it has probably been one of the most influential not only in shoujo itself, but anime/manga in general.

		I admit to being oblivious to the existence of what is evidently one of the seminal blocks of shoujo media, a work that has endlessly inspired countless shoujo artists since its publication in the late 70s.
		Few shoujo can escape a little bit of romance, and what Hagio serves up is an exciting sort of romance, a spunky girl who is fighting not only against her own destiny, but her own gender.

	Article: She Was Asking For It, by Lianne and NotHayama (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Unfortunately, many of these shoujo heroines are willing to be victims of their own romances, relinquishing all control of their lives, relationships, and bodies to someone who's dangerously unqualified or painfully unworthy.
		Shoujo series in this tier usually feature a strong-willed girl and her bad boy, but these bad boys tend to be more troubled, aggressive, and even dangerous.
		Dangerous shoujo themes are often presented in colorful and romantic packages with significant doses of realism, and when few people comment on how said themes should be treated as escapist fantasies as opposed to touching love stories, that's when we're afraid of readers subliminally idealizing abuse.

		Their style sometimes incorporates shoujo elements, but their main focus is a BOY pursued by a bevy of beautiful, gifted girls.
		Shoujo anime and manga are written for an audience of young girls but can appeal to boys as well.
		They are not necessarily viewed as immoral at all, just "very interesting." They deepen the characterization and provide a bridge between male characters and feminine emotional subjects, thus creating a scenario with much story potential yet remaining essentially a story for women, concentrating on feminine interests.

		In anime, a sub-genre of the "shoujo" anime/manga type story is "mahou shoujo" (magical girl), which has female protagonists using magical powers to accomplish their goals or mission.
		A sub genre of this is "mahou shoujo", which means "magical girl" and refers to those shows that revolve around one or more females with magical or mystical powers (such as Sailor Moon, where ordinary female high school students turn into uniform-wearing magical fighters).
		Like its counterpart, shoujo, many females are as attracted to this genre of anime as the boys are and enjoy it as much.

	Animefringe: Features: Shoujo Madness!
		The problem with shoujo is that the majority of people who know the basics about it think it's only for really girly girls.
		The line between shounen-ai and shoujo is very thin, but I believe these count as shoujo animes as much as they fit in the shounen-ai category.
		It is hard to define the telltale signs of Dark shoujo, because the only thing they really have in common is the serious and dark mood that their plot, characters, and settings have.

		Though I like the manga the best (more development than the series, even in only 5 books @_@), the movie is a splendid work of art (I like the new take on the storyline) and the anime has a lot of good points too.

		Yaoi is the sexual form of shounen ai, while yuri is the sexual form of shoujo ai.

		Welcome to the seductive world of mahou shoujo (magical girls) anime, where every little girl has dormant magical powers which awaken with a dramatic flourish — a striking pose, an incantation, and a titillating transformation scene wherein the nubile young vixen's clothes magically disintegrate, leaving in its place an outfit hardly worth fighting in.
		Mahou shoujo's sister, shoujo (girls') anime, is filled with sweeping dramatics and intensely emotional story lines that rival even the most complicated soap operas.
		Unlike many shoujo girls, Tsukushi absolutely knows who she is, and that she can't be bought by the F4, the group of incredibly rich boys who terrorize her exclusive and upper class school.
