Conversely, not all ''Shōjo'' series are romance either;[[note]]Although a common criticism of ''Shōjo'' from the early 2010s onward is how many magazines have been {{Flanderiz|ation}}ed to be ''nothing but'' romance stories[[/note]] some may just focus on dealing with everyday issues, others with uncovering mysteries, others where the action gets graphic or cerebral, and still others that like to take the [[SliceOfLife scenic route of life]]. And there's been times where ''Shōjo'' can get as bold-faced and crass as any ''Shōnen'' manga, as any reader of ''Manga/{{Patalliro}}'' or ''Manga/{{Sabagebu}}'' can tell you. The demographic is also no stranger to {{horror}} stories, with several iconic horror series such as ''Anime/HellGirl'', ''Manga/VampirePrincessMiyu'', ''Manga/{{Tomie}}'' and numerous other ''Creator/JunjiIto'' stories published in shojo anthologies. Confusing matters for English-speaking audiences is the fact that Creator/VizMedia publishes many darker shōjo series under its Viz Select imprint rather than its Shōjo Beat imprint, giving the impression that they are Seinen series.
