Part
of what makes anime and manga interesting is that there
are many different kinds of stories that can be told.
Just as live action cinema has created different types
of stories, so too has anime and manga done that as
well with the many types of series and movies it presents.
Shoujo
anime (literally, girls' animation) is one of the most
well-known of the anime sub-genres out there. Even though
it is aimed at girls, people of both sexes, especially
outside of Japan, have taken an interest in it. Because
some of the elements of shoujo are those that are sometimes
present in many other anime, it might be easy for someone
to get confused about exactly makes an anime or manga
series shoujo.
This
course is meant for the new anime/manga fan looking
to increase their knowledge or the person who's just
looking for a refresher. We'll be looking briefly at
shoujo's history, some things to look out for, and some
other specific things. Hopefully you'll get something
good out of it!
