So... is Flowers still Josei even though it has furi? Hmmm... the stories it has, feel like josei but that doesn't mean anything. >>;;

My personal opinion is that it's shoujo*. But it really could be either, so it's not like I'm going to make a fuss about the classification here.
*shoujo that hasn't been lobotomised, though.

Yup, you're right. It doesn't really matter anyways.

I made a fuss a while ago about how Champion RED series should be labeled "shounen" and not "seinen" (you can find my rant about it here), but unlike before, the magazine is now calling itself a seinen magazine. The content hasn't suddenly gotten a lot more extreme, so it's probably due to recent political pressure. In any case, I think it's safe to label Champion RED series as seinen from now on.
Here's my proof, which is the cover of the latest issue. The upper left corner says "High quality and high end seinen comic magazine!" in Japanese:

I'm confused, is Dengeki Daioh seinen or shounen magazine? The list show the manga it publish are shounen, but it listed as seinen on front page.

OtakuUSA - Has anyone mentioned it? It's an information type magasine on manga, anime, games, j-dramas, music, and other stuff in/from Japan. It touches many themes and genres.

Manga Time Lovely's target audience is towards people who are in their late teens and 30's whether they are female or male.
---
Aria, Zero-Sum, and Zero-Sum War are shoujo magazines and are not a josei. If you look up the magazine at online/offline shops, the magazines are placed in the shoujo section.
