At its inception, Wings established itself as a science-fiction and fantasy magazine. Its more fantastical settings and sense of wonder helped it to stand out, and Wings began to accept stories from a diverse mix of genres. Due to its high popularity with female readers, in the mid-2010s the magazine began using the tagline "Shōjo Manga for Adults".[4]
