Yeah I'm aware of it, but shounen, seinen and every other genre have typical contents that is to be expected and helps guide you to what you want to read. So shounen, seinen etc. are all unofficial genres although they TECHNICALLY are demographics.
The most typical for shounen is for it to be not too complicated and not too deep, while preferably a moral behind everything since young minds are the target age for that genre (early teens I think it is, would have to double-check to be sure) while seinen which targets 18-24 has a higher requirement, which usually includes deeper characters and slightly more intricate settings. And this story has been lacking in it, heavily. But it can still develop into something that's more appropriate for seinen, which is what I'm hoping for. So far everything has been on a kid's level with extra ecchi-ness.
Edit: With extra ecchi-ness and a nudity level that's fitting for adults, though what's been on a kid's level is the seriousness. One reason as for why they take their maiden duties so seriously is for the story to emphasize the importance of the religion on the island, so don't think it's something worthy of being called deep. Such seriousness can be found in lots of shounen stories as well, so it's not something that should be categorized as strictly seinen.
I'm sorry if what I wrote sounds harsh, but I kinda take offense to being corrected in such a manner. >.< Oh and you may not want to call them unofficial genres but they do serve the same function, there's no arguing that.
PS. Yes I know shounen focuses on content that young guys tend to favor, though girls do read it as well.
