Shoujo: (
Target Group) (
↗shoujo (
少女) = "young lady", "virgin", "maiden"; opposite of "
Shounen") A style of artwork and story created for girls (usually of age 10 to 18). Characterized by plots that focus on emotion and relationships, and art that tends toward the florid, with lanky characters and rather effeminate (but always attractive) men. Mostly popular with teenagers in Japan, most shoujo-style work has not spread widely, but it does occasionally gain recognition outside Japan (some examples are Revolutionary Girl Utena and X). The most common uses are "shoujo manga", literally meaning "girls' comics", and "shoujo anime" meaning "girls' animation." Also romanized as "shojo" (actually
a different word "処女"
in Japanese). (Please credit

Hoping to recover from a broken heart, Kazuya Hasukawa moves away from his brother and his new wife to attend an elite high school. He will be living at a dormitory called "Ryokurin-ryou" — commonly called by its more easily pronounceable English name, Greenwood. The building was formerly used as an insane asylum and everyone knows that the students living there are a bit bizarre, and they have been waiting for Kazuya's arrival.

Kawai Yuko is a cute, but shy girl. She lives very happily with her family and shares a close childhood friendship with Hiroshi, the boy who lives next door. One day while in the 8th grade of school, her best girl friend approaches her to admit that she has a crush on Hiroshi and asks for Yuko’s help in figuring how he feels about her. Yuko approaches Hiroshi and presses him into telling her what girls he likes. His frank answer both shocks and surprises her - he admits that he likes her and that he has always had feelings for her, even when they were children. So ever so slowly, through their years in school, they become closer and their relationship changes....
