I don't get why this anime is labeled as Shoujo, shouldn't be shounen also, but what is there to it to be considered shoujo?

The target audience is female, hence the shoujo tag.

@Absurdo_N I just don't get why the target audience is female, what part of the anime is actually targeted at female watchers?

The anime's style is delicate like many shoujos, it has hints of drama and bl bait(?) for fujoshis.

This is just my theory, I don't know the real reason.

@Absurdo_N Yeah,don't know
I know it is a rather emotional and dramatic anime
I just didn't really fell like it would be too appealing for shoujo fans
Maybe I just had a wrong concept of what shoujo is

Probably because of target audience. Banana Fish also has shoujo tag, despite nothing implying that it is.

It was published in a shoujo magazine, therefore it has the shoujo tag. That’s it.

Looking by the designs
- I do not see any girls with big oppai
- the primary genre is drama (big givaway)
- many of the dudes look extremely feminine

Bishounen is the biggest givaway
Drama is 2nd most common sign

Tall blond pretty boy mc gives that one away pretty easily. An average japanese guy would not relate to that at all.

Shoujo, shounen, seinen, and, josei aren't genres and aren't strictly defined, it could be as simple as whatever mal admin the entered the anime into the database thought it was a shoujo or maybe the author wrote it with teen girls as the demographic she was aiming for. but my strongest guess is that the magazine the manga was published in is a shoujo magazine so by extension it's a shoujo.

It's a shoujo because the manga was published in Mystery Bonita, a shoujo magazine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystery_Bonita

Demographics are also not the same as genres, demographics can vary widely in their types of content, not all shoujo is sparkly high school romance, just like not every shounen is a battle series, the amount of people in the community who can't seem to grasp this is kinda annoying ngl, like a Google search could have easily answered this question

For example attack on titan is shonen but the Levi spin off is shoujo, these labels are not so strict and mostly depend on where it was published as everyone mentioned here

On the contrary, what about it makes you think it’s a shounen. While I didn’t think of it as particularly shoujo. Of the demographics, I’d say shoujo would make the most sense
