A style of Anime/Manga intended for girls but may have some crossover appeal to boys as well.

Typically, "pure shoujo" manga revolves around love stories and strong female protaganists, however, some "shoujo anime/manga" are more plot/action oriented to attract a wider audience. Sailor Moon, for example, combines elements of "pure shoujo" and "action" anime that gives it wide appeal among both 10-year old girls and 40-year old salarymen alike.

In Japanese, "shoujo" is written as 少女. Its furigana are しょうじょ.

Also spelt shojo.
