[edit] Shōjo Shōsetsu?

I've been reading a bit further on Class S, and I'm coming across the term shōjo shōsetsu, which is translated as girl's fiction. [1][2]I'm not sure if it's analagous to shoujo manga, where shōjo shōsetsu would be a demographic, not a genre, or if it is (yet another) way of saying Class S. Thoughts? -Malkinann (talk) 11:53, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

I'd say it has more to do with actual novels/fiction rather than manga which has it's own category. Think Maria-sama ga Miteru for shōjo shōsetsu I'd say, and that doesn't mean a "shōjo shōsetsu" series has to be Class S, but merely be targeted towards girls.--十八 12:04, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Shoujo Shousetsu is girl's novel, meaning a novel aimed at girl. There are novel labels aimed at girls, novels published under these labels are called Shoujo Shousetsu (girl's novel). Even light novels published under girl's labels are also called shoujo shousetsu by the publishers. Shoujo Shousetsu is used for novels and light novels aimed at girls. You can find girl oriented novel labels and girl oriented light novel labels mentioned here: http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/少女小説 (also girl oriented novel/light novel magazines). --ChuChu (talk) 14:10, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you - I've just seen Yoshiya referred to as the mother of shoujo shousetsu, and I was worried that we'd gotten the article name wrong. -Malkinann (talk) 21:14, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
