MAYA F**KING ROX!

She does. It's easy for me to like a young adult who still loves tokusatsu hero shows and hamburgers. Not to mention she has a great sense of humor. It's great to have a companion in the games who was able to clown around with intentional foolery and enjoy the hell out of very simple things. I wouldn't have wanted a serious, 'cool' character as the main sidekick of the story. I 'get' Maya. Unfortunately, Maya happens to be the most-seen female in a shoujo* series, and those sort of characters are often despised.

*that's debatable, of course.. guys like it too (like me) but one can't deny that GS is a series of games with strong appeal to female audiences and a large cast of attractive males that makes it that way.

That is true, but whether it's a shoujo or shonen game all boils down to the target audience. The demographic may consist largely of women, but I have evidence to prove that they at least somewhat had the male gamer in mind when they made these games.
Behold! *presents the profiles of , , and *
But if you ask me, I don't think they were targeting this toward either specific sex, and just wanted to make a good adventure game for people who are into detective/law shows and stuff, regardless of their private parts.

And the sheer amount of murder is high for a "girl" game <.<
