Tsubasa is definitely a Shounen, I'm sure of it because on the hardback editions of the Japanese versions, it states "Shonen magazine comics" on the bound of the sleeve cover.

DNAngel is a Shoujo.
Lol, I thought it was a Shoujo when I read vol.1 of the manga, but how wrong was I?
To be honest, I use to like only Shoujo manga because I'm the type of person who goes for anything aimed at my gender. However when I found out that there are many people who grabs any manga regardless of what gender they are aimed at and loved any manga regardless of their gender, I just sorta copied them and grabbed a Shonen manga and when I read a fair amount of Shonen I come to the point that I like both Shoujo and Shonen ^^
Here are some of my faves....
~ Bleach (Shonen)
~ Cardcaptor Sakura (Shoujo)
~ Tsubasa Reservior Chronicles (Shonen)
~ Chobits (Shonen)
~ Tokyo Mew Mew (Shoujo)
~ Cyber Idol Mink (Shoujo)
~ Mouryoukiden; legend of the Nymp (Not sure, but I think it's a Shoujo)
~ Hyper Rune (Not sure, but I think Shonen cos of the action)
~ Gohou Drug/Legal Drug (?)
~ Kamichama Karin (Shoujo)
~ Pita Ten (I think Shonen)
And there some others that I like, but I won't bore you with my list. As you can see there is a fair amount of Shoujo and Shonen that I like, so I voted for both.
Besides I don't like Romantic girly Mangas much, but the only exception is Pita Ten and Marmalade boy is okay I guess... however I'm a fan of Mahou Shoujo mangas such as CCS, Tokyo Mew Mew, Sailor Moon, Saint tail etc...
Cardcaptor Takato:
Tsubasa is a shounen manga. Quoted from Wikipedia, "Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE (ツバサ-RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE-) is a manga by CLAMP which is running in Shonen Magazine in Japan. Tsubasa means a wing or wings in Japanese." Anyway, my vote went to both. I'll watch/read anything from any genre of anime as long as it's interesting to me, but I find that shounen series tend to work better in anime form and shoujo series work better in manga form. It's just I usually find that action scenes are more exciting in an animated format but the plots and characterization in shoujo series is usually handled better in their manga counterparts than their anime adaptations.

I agree with that. It has fighting and stuff, but the main aspect is the relationship between Syaoran and Sakura (...and too some extent, there's an aspect to Kuro-tan's a Fai's relationship too. Haha. *waves a little flag*)
Gender ambiguous works fine. A shounen-jo. >> Or something.
Yeah, I like shounen and shoujo equally. I love Fruits Basket, CCS, TRC, and stuff, but I also love FMA, Bleach, HUNTERXHUNTER (yay!) and stuff. So <3
Moon:
I like more shoujo animes/mangas. CCS, TMM, Full Moon wo Sagashite, Fruits Basket, Ai Yori Aoshi, etc.
