Josei

In the context of manga and associated media, the word josei refers to a female audience roughly between the ages of 15 and 44. In Japanese, the word means simply “woman”, and has no anime/manga-related connotations at all. It does not comprise a style or a genre per se, but rather indicates the publisher’s intended target demographic.
