Our next category is josei, considered to be the counterpart of seinen. Shójo and josei have something in common, both are aimed at women, but the only thing that changes is the age group.
Shoujo presents more idealized relationships than anything else, perfect relationships that any girl would dream of having, josei is a whole different story.
Josei explores deeper topics; some even can be hard to watch, such as infidelity or sexual assaults. Josei focuses on portraying more realistic relationships, with more drama, more psychological and erotic topics.
You can consider it as a darker and stronger version of shoujo.
Normally josei protagonists are female, but there can be male protagonists in josei as well, usually when it comes to male homosexual stories.
Josei can be enjoyed by not only women but also men that are interested in finding out how the female mind sometimes works and some of the struggles they face in romance and in life in general.
