A 2020 survey conducted in the United States found that anime movies were generally more popular among men than women, with 13 percent of male respondents reporting that they found anime to be very favorable, compared to nine percent of women who said the same.
More guys watch anime than girls. That being said, more girls have probably seen an anime than guys, simply because people as a whole average 49% male and 51% female. Confucius say man who stand on toilet is high on pot.
Acutally guys tend to be just as open with genres to anime, as girls are. So, I really doubt there would be such a gap in the percentages that you have estimated. Girls read more manga, boys watch more anime. My first novel, Kardia has been published! Click here to read! I don't know really, a poll will get the answer.
More girls watch CR shows than guys do probably because they have the library of drama for girls. Obviously, that poll doesn't include non-members who love to watch anime. Anime is Life! i reckon even!
There are a lot of people who watch anime across the world, and in Japan pratically everybody watches anime and reads manga. Y'know, my friends who are girls that watch anime tend to go for long shonen series. Like Bleach, Naruto, etc. Whereas my male friends who watch anime tend to go for shorter seinen series.
Even though shounen and seinen manga and anime may be targeted toward men and some of most well-known are created by men, that doesn't mean women won't be interested. In fact, some of the most well-known manga and anime franchises aimed at men are created by women.

between 40% and 60%While it's difficult to pinpoint the exact number, estimations say somewhere between 40% and 60% of the global population watches anime. Although its beginnings date back to the 1960s, anime didn't gain its current popularity until the last couple of decades, and it's been growing ever since.

However, Thorn's claim that "the bulk of young male readers gravitated to just three weekly magazines: Jump, Magazine, and Sunday. Boys were concentrated in a vertical column, all reading virtually the same manga, whereas girls were spread out horizontally" throws a wrench into that hypothesis.
Another trend in the way shôjo manga were published was also intimately linked to the nature of the genre. Because readers looked for works that clicked with them personally, they were not happy to simply read what everyone else was reading. As a result, shôjo manga became increasingly niche oriented.
Thorn reports that the origin of the segregation of shounen and shoujo happened in 1902: The roots of both shôjo and boys'manga can be traced to early magazines for children —boys and girls alike—which began to appear in the late 19th century, reflecting the Meiji era effort to encourage literacy.
So most Japanese do not read manga as adults, and most who had a dream of being a mangaka gave up on it. Teens and adults who are involved in subculture are generally viewed negatively by the general populace, and many are socially-awkward or hikikomori (a consumer demographic which is uncommon in the U.S.).
The extinction of the printed magazine is inevitable: not a matter of “if” but “when.” . . . Even those who work in the giant manga publishing houses--Shueisha, Shogakukan, Kodansha--acknowledge that those corporations are dinosaurs, massive and slow, unable to turn quickly or adapt to sudden changes in environment.
