I tend to like shonen more, they have less drama - drama in the girly sense at least if you get what I'm saying...
and shonen is more action, and they focus less on their feelings.

I do like a good shojo though... like Ouran. That's a good shojo.

Shojo. I can't stand the "fighting fighting fighting" I just think "what's the point of this?" Sometimes they can be good, but sometimes they have way too many episodes.

My favorite shojo is Skip! Beat. It's not the whole "oohh he/she is so perfect I like him" thing. It's really unique

I tend to lean more towards shonen as those tend to be more 'fantastic' than shojo.

I tend to dislike the 'slice of life' shojo the most. If I wanted a slice of life... I wouldn't have to look very far because I'm living it. Also I tend to find the whole boyfriend/girlfriend drama that most shojo focuse tiresome and vain to the point of being sickening.

That said I dislike the constant fighting that most Shonen manga have, so I tend to towards anime/manga that tread the line between the two.

I do admit that the constant fighting is not good, because when there's too much fighting, there's not much of a storyline happening, and after a while it's kinda like "why are they even fighting?"

Skip Beat! is good, right now I'm a bit tired of all the dramas, I like reading how Kyoko overcomes her acting problems the best because she's really talented (IMO, at least)

Slice of life is good depending on what you read... if Yotsuba&! or Chi's Sweet Home can be considered "slice of life" those are really fun to read.

I have doubts........ but I think I enjot more shojo' s .... but the especial ones : > like Ouran, LovelyComplex or Toradora (not sure if it's considered shojo, i read somewhere it was shonen)

I also like shonen a lot >.< but i get tired of it when there's much fighting.

I like both, but i'm leaning toward shojo.I love a good fighting scene though, but I am a hopeless romantic heart

I have no preference, a good plot plenty of action or a funny romance could keep my attention as well. I should vote for Shōnen this time.

I like both shounen and shojou (only the good ones, of course) though most of my favorites seem to be shounen.

Both have their good points, but nothing tops a good shonen series.

I think shonen is better because i love the fighting....a lot of people are gonna hate me for saying this but i love the naruto mangas >_> i tried to stop, honest i did but it was soo freaking addictive >_> however i can see what your saying about shojo, the slice of lifes are very intersesting and it is a good break from all the fighitng at times

Shoujo literally means young girl or lady, so it's basically manga directed at females. Think NANA, Vampire Knight, etc.
