Shojo Beat Magazine is aimed at female readers. (Viz Media)
Years ago, I attended a workshop taught by Gene Yang in which he explained that American comics tend to be all about action, European comics are all about the art, and Japanese comics are all about character development. The how's and why's of this generalization are explained in Scott McCloud's book, Understanding Comics , which I'm sure, by now, you've all read. (No? What are you waiting for?)
