I wasn't sure where to ask this. I looked in the FAQ but I couldn't find the answer.

I noticed on the editing genres that it says to only pick one demographic:


But there are a lot of series with 2 of these. Not just series that have been serialized in more than one magazine, like Change Ge Xing (where it makes perfect sense). I noticed that this is particularly prevalent with shounen ai/shoujo ai.

For example, No. 6 does not have shounen ai listed as a genre, but Golden Days does, even though they are both published in shoujo magazines and have about as much shounen ai in both. And a lot other series are tagged with both shounen ai and shoujo, like a lot of the things published in this and this magazine.

So, are we supposed to go with the magazine when we pick one, or are we supposed to let shounen ai or shoujo ai supersede that? Or do we pick both in these cases? Because if we are supposed to pick both, then shounen ai and shoujo ai should be listed at the bottom with the genres. Particularly if the romance genre is only to be used for straight romances, as described on the genres page.

Also, I didn't know that Hana to Yume serialized Yaoi. Shouldn't New York New York be listed as a shoujo?

And I am aware that I can change these, but I feel quite certain that they will just be changed back. And I'm not really sure what is correct in these cases.

For shounen/shoujo ai, you can pick one along with what the magazine is, as there usually isn't a magazine that specializes in shounen/shoujo ai

New York New York should get shoujo since it's part of Hana to Yume

The same goes for Loli too... . I would have moved the 6 non-demographic related to the side, but keep them up and add Hentai + Doujinshi. All of these are publication forms to some degree, but who am i kidding. We would still get "genre wars".

We also have a few manga with no demographic attached due to the magazine in question. Promotional publications as Newtype and some of the weirder "art-house" magazines for adults come to mind. A few series even run in magazines for women and men but i usually try to figure out which is the main publication, which tends to work, sometimes... Then we have web manga and novels. So the 4 demographics only work until they don´t.
(Chang Ge Xing never made sense to me, as it is only published as Seinen in Japan but what you gonna do.)
