What does SHOJO mean in Scrabble?
noun
A genre of Japanese comics and animated films aimed chiefly at girls and young women, typically centred on romance and personal relationships.
Shojo stories are marketed to a young female readership and usually focus on emotional relationships, school life, or romance rather than action. The term describes a marketing category more than a fixed set of themes, so individual shojo titles can range widely in tone and subject. It is used alongside other Japanese comic categories such as shonen, which targets boys instead.
