| I see no problem in girls watching shonen and boys watching shoujo at all. Edit: Ops. Let's just pretend I said "reading" instead of "watching" and move on. |

| I love shounens! It doesn't mater for me how mainstream it can be :P Naruto, Bleach... Currently I'm watching One Piece anime, but I'll start reading manga soon, ah, can't wait :D |
  |
| It's what I mainly read. That or seinen, or just neutral stuff. The typical shoujo manga annoys me a lot of the time - it's not like stuff like Naruto doesn't, but IMO there is just a much wider variety in shounen manga. The only decisively female-oriented manga I regularly read is yaoi. |
| Yeees!! ♥ It's the type of genre that's waiting for me to read every week. I read shoujo, but sometimes I'm craving for some action and not some typical weak heroine. |

| A girl and i like harem. I love reading light novels(I only heard of 2 series that aren't targeted towards guys). But i do read some shoujo manga. In fact, my favourite female character comes from harem manga. She's like then cutest thing ever! |
 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ |
| I used to love shoujo,and would read any shoujo manga as long as the art is tolerable. But now all I read is shonen. （expect for a few exceptions) Because I find it more interesting than shoujo (most of them is all blushyblush n dokidoki) |
 |
| Sure I read shounen. Not my favourite demographic though, I love seinen. |
| To be honest, I don't think it really matters whether you're a guy or girl. My brother played with my barbie dolls more than I did when I was younger. I personally actually tend to prefer shounen series (although I don't mind shoujo). A lot of shoujo are just regular romances... I prefer a little action or fantasy. |
^ *prays for the day BBCode allows images again* |
| Sure I do. Why should I care about the demographic target, I care about the story and art. |
| Firstly, *You're, not Your. :Grammar Nazi: Of course I read shounen mangas. Well, if it has good art and a good story. And also not irritating characters. |
| I didn't even know I was one. |
| sometimes, shounen is actually better than shoujo |
| don't save her, she don't wanna be saved. |
| Yes, though it's not my favorite genre... But aren't many of shounen mangas frequendry read by girls? Like Kuroshitsuji, it's officially a shounen manga, isn't it? |
 |
| of course i read most kinds of the manga like shonen and seinin the most important thing for me is the good story |
 |
| Yes, I read shounen but I think I love seinen much more. |
"People fall in love with a person, not a gender." |
| I read mostly shoujo or josei, but I sometimes get fed up of romances so I try to read horror or shounen manga. In my case, I read Claymore and Berserk.... :3 |
| I read shounen unintentionally. I read manga, check the genres afterwards, then I'm like, "Oh. Shounen." But, it's still good. |
   |
| Yes...because there is a boy side of me. |
| And Zero said "Let there be rebellion for the power of the geass is hidden within all of you". |
| Yes, I read shounen and I like it. |
Why does the world want to become one? Dreams and ideals are not supposed to be the same. |
| Heck Yes! I buy Shonen Jump! Though my friends think its horribly tom-boyish of me.. But who cant resist a good butt kicking with hot guys???? GO Naruto! GO Inuyasha! GO Bleach! |
| ~KawaiiKitsune93~ |
| Please. Shounen is the new shoujo. Can't there just be one genre that's both for girls and boys? Let's call them shoujen and I declare that all shoujo and shounen are now shoujen. There. Happy? |

| rarely =3 if it has a pure romance genre, then i'd like to try it ^^; |
| I'm a dude and I read Shoujo. |
| I mostly read Shounen manga, it's more my type of stories. I read some seinen too. |

| Yes I do. I started reading manga with shonen and i am not going to stop. |

| I personally enjoy certain shounen manga, but it really all depends. Sometimes us girls get sick of seeing the same exact annoying shojo mangas. |
| Sure, Infact all the manga I actually own is shonen manga. Even one seinen. |

| .... I like shounen more than shoujo. Idk, I don't like most shoujo. And yes, I'm a girl. |
 set made by tsudecimo ★ i m a d g m t r a s h ★ pnch ★ blc ★ mal rewrite |
| i just read naruto, and if I was interested in the other, i'll read it too |
 |
| I'm not a girl, but I think the demographic shouldn't matter ... I read shojo mangas sometimes. I'll read anything as long as it has an interesting storyline. |
 |
| Who doesn´t? |
 |
| i do not mind any genre, as long as it has a good story! but i prefer shounen\ seinen over shoujo\ josei (cause 70% of them are annoying >< ) |
| Naruto fan for life =] I've also read other shounen manga, but normally if i read something with a target audience of males, it's usually something seinen. |
| I mostly read shounen and seinen. I've pretty much given up on shoujo.( almost ) but of course, there are some exceptions when it comes to shoujo ( akagami no shirayuki-hime, last game, akatsuki no yona ) If I want a good story with action or nice adventure, I go with shounen with tags of romance. Seinen/shounen manga I thought were shoujo : orange ( takano ichigo ) , oboreru knife |
| Yes and Seinen |
Cassina said: Yes and Seinen lots of girls I know watch seinen shows as well as josei |
 All credit goes to Sacred. |
| I think the two are completely different (shoujo and shounen) so its good to read both instead of having to read the same cliches over and over one after another. I also read yaoi, seinen, and josei, so its not like I ever get bored. Shounen can be very cool. |
 |
| Yeah, of course. Although I'm trying to get more into Seinen and Josei as of lately. |
"If you have time to think of a beautiful end, then why not live beautifully until the end?"- Sakata Gintoki, Gintama  |
| I've never been the kind of person who won't do something (like read shounen manga) because it's not 'for girls'. |
 |
| I have a shounen in my fav list so yeah. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| That's what got me started on manga. I still prefer shonen manga, but thankfully I no longer dislike every other genre. These days though, I need a little break after a shonen manga before I start another one. A lot of them get repetitive and that pisses me off. |
| Um yes?! |
