So what makes a manga "shounen" or "shoujo"? I can understand saying that Lone Wolf and Cub appeals more to guys and Sailor Moon appeals more to girls. (I've never actually read Sailor Moon so I'm sorry if I'm making a bad assumption or something.) But can all manga be defined as one or the other? What's Neon Genesis Evangelion considered?

I'm not sure.. Evangelion would be a little bit of both, I guess.
Shoujo manga deals with the things of life.. Like, say, teenage angst, romance, jalousy.. Things that anyone could come across any day.
Shounen manga deals with things like war, characters with super powers (DBZ, for example). Like being able to fly, shooting energy from their hands, growing to 10 times their original height, etc. And most likely the 'powers' were gained when born. o_O;
And that's generalizing them *very* much.. there's probably more to it, but with that you can kinda tell the difference. ^_^
Ahem. Back on topic now, yesh. ^_^;
