@inhuman  shonen is literally 'category for young male reader'
So yeah. You can 100% assume that the majority of readers are young teenage boys that want to see tatas.
 
Meanwhile shoujo is "young female readers', seinen is the 'adult male readers and josei is the 'adult female readers'

@Ianes Grécia We're in 2025 — classifying content by age is about as useful as those checkboxes asking if you're over 18 when you enter an adult website. What really matters is whether there are suggestive scenes or explicit content being shown. Even seinen—which is supposed to be targeted at adults—gets censored, because everyone knows that anyone can access it anyway.
Besides, gender classification is pretty much just for research purposes at this point. Honestly, by the 21st century, gender doesn’t matter that much when it comes to enjoying a story. There are plenty of girls who enjoy shonen stories, and maybe not as many, but still a good number of boys who watch or read shoujo too.
