If you mean shoujo then: The term shoujo literally means [young] girl in Japanese. Its used to describe manga/anime marketed to a female audience roughly between the ages of 10 and 18. Since its rather an indicator of a target demographic, than a style of genre per se, its difficult to point main subject, narrative, or a graphic style, that would be exclusive for this type of the stories. Most of them though, focuses on romantic relationships and emotional states of the main characters.

What are all the different types of manga and there meanings?

There are several types of manga and anime, but they are mainly divided into two main groups: shounen (also spelt shonen) and shoujo (spelt shojo). Shounen is aimed primarily toward boys. The story often centers around fighting and action and is closely tied to the Action, Adventure and Martial Arts genres. It is the male equivalent to shoujo. The more adult equivalent to shounen is seinen, which features fighting and action only bloodier and more vulgar. Shoujo is aimed primarily toward girls. The story is often circled around love and romance between two characters and is closely tied to Romance, School Life, and Drama genres. It is the female equivalent to shounen. The adult equivalent to shoujo is josei which features a more realistic form of romance. Although these are not the main genres, you often hear different mangas being referred to as either shounen or shoujo rather than comedy or drama. You may also hear the terms "yaoi", "yuri", "shounen-ai", and "shoujo-ai" floating around. Yaoi is boyxboy; shounen-ai is considered to be less mature. Yuri is girlxgirl, with shoujo-ai being less mature. The rest of the terms are rather self explanatory. Often in manga hosting sites, you will also see manhua and manwha. These are the Chinese and Korean (I think) equivalents of manga. I belive that in manwha, you read right to left.


Other animes like Nana?

Anime like Honey and Clover and Paradise Kiss will do. ParaKiss is also by manga-ka Yazawa Ai. Also, though I'm not sure if it's an anime yet, the series Perfect Girl Evolution is a great shoujo to try.
