Quote from KaoriNite
Anywho, I voted yaoi. The poll is pretty much what I expected, although I didn't think Seinen would be rated so high. I think its a great genre, but I thought Shoujo would be a lot more popular.
Well, if you'll recall the results from the age poll a few weeks back, over half of the MU members seem to be age 22 and older. So it isn't altogether surprising that the older demographics receive a notable measure of support.
As to why seinen is so much more popular than josei, presumably the driving factor is that there are roughly four times as many seinen series with English releases than josei... Or perhaps the yaoi contingent is siphoning more votes (and scanlator attention) from josei series than from shoujo?
