Correct, but in North America it's being printed in a shojo magazine with girly covers. For now, at least. I haven't heard of a book version yet. For real shojo manga, I do like Kare Kano and Someday's Dreamers, but I think I also lean more towards josei.

>It could just be a loss in information due to poor translation... normally we would expect the word "shoujo" to remain when talking about manga.

You would only expect that when talking within hardcore fan circles. This is a normal translation of a mainstream newspaper article. "Shoujo" does translate to "girl" after all.
