Anime News Network: Do We Still Need Shōnen/Shōjo Labels?
Quote:In summary, labels such as “shōnen” and “shōjo," while informative to anime and manga fans who are already in the “in-crowd,” can come off as prohibitively confusing to newcomers. As someone who is passionate about sharing anime culture and seeing it grow, I propose that we start utilizing more common genre identifiers such as romantic drama, action, sci-fi, and high school comedy when classifying anime or manga.
