Redirect to Shōjo manga. This page is largely a dictionary entry for the Japanese word for "girl". For comparison, Wikipedia doesn't have an article about Shōnen, the Japanese word for "boy"; instead, Shōnen redirects to Shōnen manga. So, by the same logic, Shōjo should redirect to Shōjo manga. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:14, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Shōjo manga. There are a-lot of manga articles i'm sure that just use the word "Shojo" when describing the genre. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 16:38, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect: A redirect to shōjo manga seems to be the best alternative option here. There's no ability for meaningful expansion in this article, meaning it would never progress past the level of dictionary entry. Curbon7 (talk) 01:10, 12 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
