Bishojo are used in almost all genres of anime and manga, ranging from shojo to mecha.
A 'bishojo series' is a series directed towards a male audience predominantly featuring female characters, usually around high school age. The main draw for them is typically the art and the attractive women in them, although the approach has a poor reputation for overall quality. Some bishoujo series are Harem anime, although some exclude men entirely. However, these do not neccesarily have yuri content.
A Bishoujo series should not be confused with a shoujo series (which are aimed at a female audience) although at times the plots can be very similar.
