Shōjo

Shōjo, shojo or shoujo (少女, shōjo) is a Japanese word originally derived from a Chinese expression written with the same characters.] The Chinese characters (少 and 女) literally mean young/little and woman respectively. In Japanese, these kanji refer specifically to a young woman approximately 7–18 years old. Shōjo can often be translated with the English word girl.

Manga
The term shōjo, shojo, or shoujo manga (少女漫画, shōjo manga) refers to manga marketed to a female audience roughly between the ages of 10 and 18. The name romanizes the Japanese 少女 (shōjo), literally: "little girl". Shōjo manga covers many subjects in a variety of narrative and graphic styles, from historical drama to science fiction - often with a strong focus on human and romantic relationships and emotions. Strictly speaking, shōjo manga does not comprise a style or a genre per se, but rather indicates a target demographic. Examples include Cardcaptor Sakura, Fushigi Yuugi, Sailor Moon, Romeo x Juliet, and Tokyo Mew Mew.
