SHOJO MANGA
This type of manga is more marketed to the female audience between 10 and 18. Most of the stories talk about romance and love, but it can also be a mixture between shonen and shojo.

| Fullmoon Wo Sagashite |
This kind of manga is intended for "ladies" (josei) and adult males (seinen). Most of the plots in these mangas tend to be about the everyday life of a woman living in Japan (in josei), but seinen has more variety in subject matter, but it always has an strong emphasis in realism and more developed storyline, which differs them from shonen manga.
