Hi,
Shouldn't this be BOTH Shoujo and Josei?

Reasoning from: "It began serialization in the November 2001 issue of the monthly shōjo (aimed at teenaged women) manga magazine Betsucomi; in March 2002, it moved to the monthly josei (aimed at young adult women) manga magazine Flowers..."

afaik on this site:

1. all demographics are treated as mutually exclusive
2. it takes the latest available demographic

wiki has no such rules, it just puts everything to be safe, and the system here is accurate enough, manga generally do not progress demographically downwards, i.e. josei to shoujo because that would mean that it would start at a more adult level and then ignore it later.

BUT the underlying problem is that the classification to begin with is not clear. even though it was published in a josei magazine at the time it got a shoujo manga award.

so the way everything is listed here follows the standards here 1) & 2)
I agree the reasoning is sound though.

in need of romance?

Not entirely true, an example being 1/2 Prince, which is tagged both as Shoujo and Shounen, so I don't know if this rule is set in stone.
Then again demographics are not real genres, and the magazines manga are published in are listed on this site, if people want to check.

My current top 3:
Fullmetal Alchemist
Pandora Hearts
3-gatsu no Lion

We are all very confused about demographics as seen here but Lorska is correct.
Most funny of all was when Orange (TAKANO Ichigo) jumped from shoujo to seinen.
So please don´t play with the genre or the entry will de locked by an admin in time 🤢 .
(1/2 Prince is a curiouse and locked case indeed where i would have picked neither.)
Edit: Fixed the link. Hups.

The reason josei manga win shoujo awards (ex. Honey and Clover, Kimi wa Pet, Nodame Cantabile, Kuragehime, Chihayafuru, 7 Seeds) is that there is not a josei category for either of the main awards (Kodansha Manga Award and Shogakukan Manga Award). Winning a shoujo award is meaningless in determining demographics. There's no seinen category either, but these seem to be entered in the 'General' category.

Your link is bad. Manga Updates adds an extra 'https://' to links. I think you mean this thread:
