And so, it appears, was the anime audience. This is a shot from an NHK interview show with Kuwashima and Seki Tomokazu.
Looks like a lot of ladies in their early twenties. However the manga version is officially
shoujo, having appeared in
Monthly Asuka.
Let me say right away that I think using demographics to choose anime is much too limiting. For instance, I don't watch much shounen, but I'm enjoying
Magi. I certainly prefer josei/seinen stories because they have a larger representation of adult characters, but I don't really pay much attention to demographics overall. A good story is a good story, regardless of who the target audience might be.
