Would you happen to know what demographic Asahi's ほんとにあった怖い話 magazine was? I figured it might be classified as shojo since it originally spun off from Monthly Halloween, but J-Wiki only calls it a horror manga magazine and its covers tend not to resemble the shojo mag covers I usually see, so I was wondering if it targeted a different demographic (or if it even falls into any of the usual shonen-shojo-seinen-josei categories at all). Thanks!

This one is easy: the official twitter account says "josei" :) And yes, I'd agree with your reasoning: it spun off from very obviously shojo/josei magazines, and I'd have to assume that internally at the company, the editorial staff of the magazine also come from that side of the demographics devide.

Having said that, I also agree with you that it's kind of an iffy thing because the main draw of the magazine is the horror, so it could be aimed at anyone -- but on the third hand, manga about "horror" and "spiritualism" and "ghosts" are actually pretty firmly shojo/josei targeted, especially when we're talking about the history of manga in Japan, so even if the magazine hadn't classified itself in that way, I'd have answered that the target audience was women!

(Not that men don't enjoy horror. A lot of men do. However, it's in shojo that the horror series of Umezu Kazuo and other pioneers were first run, and there is a strong tradition of shojo audiences gravitating towards horror manga, which is why magazines like Halloween, Nemuki, Mystery Bonita etc. are shojo.)

Originally a sister shoujo magazine to Monthly Halloween. During the 1980s, horror films were especially popular in Japan among teenaged girls, so publishers started to make horror-themed shoujo magazines. "It publishes fantasy manga in addition to horror, with stories that aim to be "more ambitious, sensitive and mature" than those of Monthly Halloween." Series: Tomie, Uryuudou Yumebanashi, Shiver, Beyond Twilight, Dolls, Tombs, Dokuhime, Suna no Ue no Rakuen.
