Or are you saying a publisher can determine the "type" of the work based on his judgment?
What is "shounen's" use then?

What felix said... its as simple as that. All the posturing I see in "young anime fan debates" is fundamentally BS because they mistakenly think the label defines the material rather than simply delineating the marketing focus of the publisher.
Naruto is "shounen" and so is Love Hina and so is Kamichu! Ergo, worthless as an explanatory label in defining taste.
