That doesn't change the fact that Ichigo 100% was printed in Weekly Shounen Jump for 19 volumes and the mangaka hinted that it was fan input that made Nishino win, so I'm pretty sure shounen readers don't mind breaking the shounen tropes every once in a while. Frankly, with the recent crop of stereotypical shounen jump titles getting cancelled 15-20 chapters in, and something totally atypical like Assassination Classroom raking in the sales, I think Shounen Jump readers are ready for new manga to shake things up a bit.
