This can go for any sort of audience. They 'should' know what to expect but they will still make certain demands on the series irregardless of what the mangaka's original intentions are.

There's a balance between sticking to your own ideas/intentions and going with what the crowd would like. Go 'your own way', there's a risk of losing the audience. Going to much with the crowd and you sink into the rest of the pack.
