Bone is actually done by a man, but I think it's a good example of a unisex comic. Shonen is targeting male and Shojo female. It's blantly stated actually, if you know japanese, since shojo means "girl" and shonen "boy" (props to the japs for their originality). Both kind comes with a certain number of caracteristics. As an example: Shojo tend to have a cute pet sidekick.
Sailor moon was definitly shojo. It was actually one of the manga that defined the shojo type. But it's normal if you saw other stuff in it since Sailor Moon also references a lot of hentai and Sadist and masochist practices. The sailor uniform for instance is a big fat juicy sex symbol. The association with the moon is also very sexual (even if the moon represents purity. heh)
