I'm wondering if there's some miscommunication or mistranslation going on, because I'm really skeptical that this is actually for the shoujo demographic.

Bishoujo =/= shoujo

All that stuff listed is extremely common for bishoujo manga (maybe less so the omorashi thing though. Had to look that up and ew), the vast majority of which is part of the seinen demographic.

Not to say that all shoujo manga is inherently innocent or clean; it's just that when it has raunchier aspects, it's to cater to teenage girls. Which this thing sounds like it really, really doesn't.

No law saying teenage girls can't like Yuri or panty shots

It's not actually shōjo — the manga is making a point that you will see things in it that are not in the typical shōjo manga.

If Comic Meteor is shoujo I'll eat my hat. There's nothing about this series or any of the others they run that would make me think they are looking for an audience of actual girls, and everything to make me think they are looking for an audience of pervy guys.

[edit]: Thanks Egan, that makes a lot more sense. Smile

Oh god will so watch this.

I really hope that it covers omutsu omorahi as well...probably not though.

Although I'm not into omorashi/piss fetishes, (Googled it and I'm not surprised there's a magazine for this Shocked) Kissxsis had a piss storyline if I'm not mistaken. I don't know how much of this whacked out shit will be in this show, but it kinda skeeves me out...
