Zerosum magazine is confusing

If both comics for girls and comics for guys run in it, how do you tell what is for who?

Can someone explain this to me!? >_<

Because it might hurt SO much to just check and decide what you like, without being spoon-feed your targetgroup bulk-crap.

You are getting yourself into something pretty hard to know its target audience >.< the publisher is not mentioning anywhere on its site who is the target audience. not to mention the "game they palyed" when the magazine got announced.

Most sites classify this magazine as shounen or seinen, a few sites do mention that this is a female oriented magazine, but other than that what its real audience is, is not mentioned by a reliable source (or at least I couldn't find such source).

I feel this magazine is: I'll say "its a shounen magazine" if you are a shounen(boy) and I'll say "its a shoujo magazine" if you are a shoujo(girl) and ...

It seems to me to be some type of paly/game/trick the sh*tty publisher is playing to pull as many readers of both genders and all ages.

I'm not so interested by these games that some publishers play, so I don't read this type of magazine, nor any manga that comes from it. even if a masterpiece manga gets serialized in it, I have no interest in it.

I'll be damned if some publisher is going to *ASSIGN* me what I'm going to read. The whole "for girls" "for guys" schtick pretty much reeks when there is entertaining stuff on both sides of the aisle.
