Otaku Dictionary: Josei

Noun
1) A genre of manga targeted to late teenage and adult women. Some feature romance like Shojo does, but often much less idealized, and less sparkly eyes.
Some popular josei manga include: 07 Ghost, Hapi Mari, Loveless, Karneval, K, Kuroshisuji (Black Butler), No.6 (anime and manga),

*K also has two different extra manga that focus on a time before the anime: K: Memory of Red, which is about the Homra Clan, and K: Stray Dog Story (which imo is pretty horrendous)
Also, the Karneval anime is airing in Japan in on April 4th, three days from the time of writing.
And I haven't read the first 3 so I have no idea what they are about, but it looks like Hapi Mari and Loveless are romance
