That was really stupid of you, Square Enix!!  |
I think it just about marketing than anything else. Square-Enix believed it could sell more than in shoujo or josei magazine. Hell, in fact in some parts of Japan more girls are buying shounen magazines than their intended marketing audience, boys and young men. Why? Because most boys and young men are too busy collecting their money to buy Gundams, bishoujo/moe figurines, itasha/decorated cars and ero-games(mostly for PC). So they target more girls and young women instead because most of them never buy Gundams and figurines.
Sorry for getting off-topic but I just want to voice my opinion.
