The [[UsefulNotes/MangaDemographics demographic category]] of {{anime}} and {{manga}} aimed mainly at pre-teen to teenage girls. It tends to have female leads, romantic subplots and resolutions involving personal growth. This doesn't mean ''Shōjo'' is devoid of action, though. In addition to more traditional romance stories, Shōjo can include tales of [[ActionGirl heroines who kick righteous butt]] -- while pursuing romantic subplots and personal growth.

* ''LightNovel/{{Toradora}}'': Heavy focus on romance, the dramatic second half, and the dynamic between spunky Taiga and reluctant Ryuji are the main factors. In the west, it's common to see the anime listed on "GatewaySeries" lists for Shoujo despite its label being the shonen Dengeki Bunko.
