>Anime/manga aimed at boys
>most of the fanbase is female

>Anime/manga aimed at girls
>Most of the fanbase is male

Explain this phenomenon, why do so many anime and manga end up attracting a completely different audience than intended?

It's still male, just because you see fujos doing fujo things, the majority of sales are still males.

A lot of people don't care about labels and just watch/read whatever seems interesting.

Pic unrelated? K-On is directed towards males and the audience is mostly male
