Can anyone tell me why this series is tagged under the "Shoujo" genre?


Well, because it IS a shoujo series? It's kinda like a tale with a bit of background romance. If you compare it to Naruto, for example, it's a lot more shoujo than Naruto.

P.S. Is it just me or Satomi looked super ero in that half-unbuttoned shirt of his? He's never looked like that in manga. It's kinda cool but a bit disturbing seeing how right Satomi's character is.


This manga isn't SHOUJO like you said... It is shoujo but not in the sense that you mean... This manga doesn't speak of love, if you mean this

This story is marked like Shoujo because the story is addressed to an audience more feminine. But The story is shounen and shounen ai with some background shoujo. For example as uraboku or 7 ghost...

Easy. Because originally the manga was published in a shoujo magazine (which published some few shonen-ai titles as well) but later switched and currently is published in a shonen-ai/yaoi magazine.

Which means that the first tag for it was shoujo, primarily because of the magazine in which was published, but it never stopped being Shounen-ai too but as a second tag.

Currently is being published together with other shonen-ai and Yaoi titles but I guess they havent change the genre (even though its clearly not a shoujo and the mangaka is a BL mangaka). Ive seen this happen before. Usually the first genre remains, even if they switch the magazine.

No it's not subbed yet unfortunately. I don't think there are any fansub groups doing this anime so you'll have to wait 4 more days for Crunchyroll's subs.

AFAIK, most of fansub groups which exists at the moment doesn't really fond of doing shoujo series (though this one has more shounen-ai undertones rather than being shoujo).

There is only 2 group which I known of that is still doing them which are Interrobang and Anime-Koi. Though Interrobang planned to doing Amnesia instead since there isn't a simulcast announcement yet for that series.

Are you serious? Only two groups that do shoujo? What kind of news is this? I'm a sad panda. :/

Actually there are some other groups which do shoujo series but I'm considered they're irrelevant since they have a huge backlog on their projects so I don't think they're gonna do any new series.

Also, both Interrobang and Anime-Koi doesn't do Shoujo until last season. Interrobang do Sukitte just because they never done Shoujo before and Anime-Koi doing Kamisama since it wasn't licensed when they already started doing it (IIRC, Funimation simulcast announcement was 1 week late after the series had started airing), they actually planned on dropping it if it got licensed or lost interest, I guess they like it enough to finish the series.

Looks like this ended being fansub for shoujo discussion, let's end it here.

Hoping the subs out soon, either from Anime-Koi or CR simulcast.

So far it seems like this could be dark and strange enough to keep me interested. I sense a vibe similar to Shinsekai yori, and if I'm correct in sensing that, I'm going to be very happy.

Is that kid Kenta voiced by the same person as Naruto? I could swear they sound the same.

As for the show itself, it has some promise but looks too generic in some parts. Well, we shall see, judging based on 1st episode is wrong :)

I got a little bored from the first episode. Probably won't continue watching and just deleted from my list. But that's just me.

My favorite character was the raven/bird.. Hah. Does anyone know who voices the bird? It's driving me nuts - the voice sounds so familiar but I can't pin it down.

Murasame (the bird) is voiced by Nobuhiko Okamoto, a prominent seiyuu who has been featured in many anime series. :)

Fine first episode, a little bit boring though.
Random thought - I know Sousuke is supposed to be a monk or something but his uniform somehow reminds me of the Shinsengumi uniforms.

Man this was actually pretty good. I'd even argue the best show I've seen of this season so far. Only the A1-Picture one seems interesting besides this one.
I hope the last few shows that will air soon make up for this shitty season.

Well I hope Deen doesn't decide on putting in a CGI dragon at some point...

I wonder if your English is as bad as your critique...

To be fair this wasn't too bad, I really wasn't expecting anything from this show but was pleasantly surprised compared to most of the winter season I've watched so far. I'll definitely continue watching this.

The animation and art are better than I expected. Ah, it's good to see Abe Miyuki sensei's work turned into anime.
Shino's voicing is somewhat I found a little off for the chara of Shino in my mind.
