Chorus is/was josei. Honey & Clover, about college kids, is probably their most popular (...only?) title published in English, but they've got many series about older, working-age characters too.

I think that when the renamed magazine is tagged "shoujo for adults," it's more about retaining the atmosphere and lightness(?) associated with shoujo manga, in a way and in stories that adult women (and men?) can enjoy. But maybe that's just my perception.
