+Alternative (See also: Garo*)
+Battling companion (not an official name)
+Magical girl (maho shojo)
+Mecha (giant robots)
+Moe (also maho kanojo or magical girlfriend)
+Shojo-ai (lesbian romance)
+Shonen-ai (gay romance)

Instead of Shoujo and shounen-ai, why not just alternate pairings? Because you also have yaoi, which is more hardcore. And then you get the strange. whee

yaoi is gay so what's the name for hardcore lesbian?

Yuri.

The hard-core lesbian manga is called yuri, and that's kinda embaressing because one of my best friend's name is Yuri...poor girl.

Yuri: "Hi! I'm Lesbian-manga Marinelli! What's your name?"

Yuri is a slang term.....it doesn't really translate to hard core lesiban in Japanese rolleyes i believe it really translates to the month July in Japanese
I've seen characters named Yuri in some animes and no they weren't "those types" of animes

What an apt description of Negima!, both of the terms fit terribly well. XD
