I'll take Just Not Getting It for 500, Alex

This is why I pretty much stopped reading manga forums.

"And plus, it would seem silly to tag a story, such as this one, where the main character is a boy working as a maid, as Shoujo. It just wouldn't work that way, nor would it fit. Just plain Shounen, possibly. But Shoujo? I think not."


After I explained Manga Genres and What They Mean:

"But isn't it silly to put what's to be directed for the audience as the genre of the story?
That'd be like putting a yaoi as "Shoujo" if it's directed to female audience, don't you think?
I'm probably misunderstanding your logic, but meh, it happens.

I'd still say this story is leaning more towards Shounen-Ai than it is Shoujo, only because:
I.) The main character is a young boy.
II.) The sub-main character is an older hot guy.
III.) Even though there's no sign of romance, there's a possibility that some might develop in here. So far, only 5 chapters are shown, but we don't know yet.

I'm sticking with my thoughts and opinions, but that's just me. (:"


I don't even know how to respond without being bitchy about it. It doesn't help that this person also thinks little boys being raped is ~*soooooooo kawaii*~.
