When a series of this kind does attract {{Fangirl}}s, the series often loses this term. Compare and contrast ShoujoDemographic and MagicalGirl, in which there are cute girls, but the target audience is female. Also contrast PuniPlush, {{Gonk}}, {{Hunk}}, {{Bishonen}}.

Christmas Cake is now a redirect to Old Maid


A ''bishoujo series'', however, is a more loaded term. They are {{Fanservice}} series [[{{Shonen}} aimed towards]] [[{{Seinen}} male audiences]]. These series will use highly attractive female characters (often of TheBeautifulElite variety, although this is not necessary) up to [[ChristmasCake about twenty-five years old]] whenever possible. This is especially noticeable in a series where male characters and older women make unusually few to no appearances, [[ImprobablyFemaleCast even if the story's setting and premise would suggest otherwise]].

* ''Anime/AzurLane'': While the [[Videogame/AzurLane source material]] falls into the HaremGenre, the anime does away with the Commander as the protagonist, leading to the Shipgirls making up the entire, quite varied cast.

* ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}''. An astounding grand total of two males appear in the official works, and one of them is a magical cloud. The females? About 80+ of them, not counting pre-Windows versions.
* ''VideoGame/KantaiCollection'' was intentionally designed like this, but then it suddenly got popular, getting the non-otakus and many female players mixed in as well. At its heart, however, it is still a bishoujo series ''franchise''.

* ''Anime/GalaxyAngel'' is a bishoujo series; the VideoGame/GalaxyAngel gameverse has the same characters as a HaremGenre, but the anime removes the central male.
