SailorBratt18 03-13-2008 10:26 PM
I'm surprised no one has voted for shonen yet... ah well! Shojo will kick butt in the end :P

SSJup81 03-13-2008 10:45 PM
I'll have to go with Jousei, even though I haven't had the opportunity to read many series that consist of this genre type, but, it's interested me immensely.

Katchan6 03-14-2008 07:44 AM
i voted seinen, but i dont think i've read any jyosei...

MMM 03-14-2008 07:50 AM
I am mostly seinen, but I am trying to expand...

jene 03-14-2008 07:53 AM

Sinner 03-14-2008 12:06 PM

Hisuwashi 03-14-2008 02:19 PM
I like Shojo best... is that weird for someone of the male species?

NightChilde25 03-14-2008 02:21 PM
I like jyosei, Shojo, and Shonen. ^_^

sasuke91 03-14-2008 02:28 PM
seinen seinen !!!!!

Gantz is going so good ! :D :vsign: :rheart:

Kaminogirl22 03-14-2008 03:25 PM
Shojo
 
I love shojo! I like shonen but not as much as shojo because it's just too much action and some do not seem like they have any sense, except to fight but still...what are the other two I haven't heard of them, probably seen them but never know them.

Seinen series are usually geared towards adult males, and usually have a lot of fan service. Of course not all Seinen series have a lot of fan service, just seems that way. One series that comes to mind as being a Seinen series is Chobits.

Jousei works are those aimed at adult women or teenage girls. They usually deal with everyday life things and is more realistic compared to shojo manga. A few series that come to mind for me, is Gokusen, Hachimitsu to Kurooba (Honey and Clover), and Kimi wa Pet (My Pet), which is known here in the states as Tramps Like Us.

I guess that horror manga or works like Monster and MPD Psycho are also Seinen? And manga for office workers based on Golf or Mahjong would be Seinen also, as well as the fan service stuff?

The word 'Seinen' then seems to cover such a vast spectrum of tastes that by trying to describe too much it doesn't really describe anything.

chibitensai06 07-19-2008 12:59 AM
I vote for the Shoujo genre!! hahaha....I think its already normal for a girl like me!! ha3 :D

ForeverDreamer 07-19-2008 06:30 PM
i like all of those genres ^-^" Fruits Basket, Bleach, Gantz, and Sukisho. but i guess i'll say my absolute favorite is Josei, cuz i really love yaoi :o

st2l 07-21-2008 08:20 PM
Could someone explain to me what shojo, shonen, seinen and jyosei mean? What kind of genre are they? Some examples would be nice too :)
Thanx

Crani 07-22-2008 01:34 PM
My vote goes for Seinen, I kind of hate Shoujos because they're to girly, I'm not a big fan of Shounens because they're kind of childish in there one way and I haven't seen much Josei series.

Sure thing, Shounen and Shoujo are mangas/animes intended for teenagers(Shounen for boys and Shoujo for girls, as the names indicate), examples of such series are Naruto (Shounen) and Fruit Basket(Shoujo).
Josei and Seinen are mangas/animes intended for older people (Seinen for men and Josei for woman), examples of such series are Gantz (Seinen) and Honey and Clover (Josei).
And there is another category that isn't listed here, Kodomo which is intended for children, example of a Kodomo series is Hamtaro.

Crani 07-22-2008 02:24 PM
I don't know if does two can be consider Shounens, since Evangelion as a very mature theme and Akira is way to violent to be considered Shounen.

Thanx a lot!! It was really helpful! :) :) :)

I love everything Josei and Shoujo. They always have a lot of things that I can totally relate to and what not. I don't like mindless violence sometimes, meaning I can't stand watching any shounen anime. I can read it, but not watch.

I also like Seinen, as long as it's not pervy. It can be dark and kill-hack-slash, but I don't like seeing girls naked. The only thing that would be considered Seinen I actually thought was funny, cute, and great is anything by Ken Akamatsu. He's the guy who made Love Hina, AI Love You, and Negima.

Hawaiiangirl 07-22-2008 09:54 PM
Too bad there isnt a variety to this list, but I choose seinen.

cerrykis1 07-23-2008 06:22 PM

If you have doubts just check the magazines where they are or were published in Japan, outside Japan it doesn't matter.
To make this job easier search Wikipedia for a manga you like, then underneath the image on the right it tells you what magazine it appears in.

So I searched for "Blade of the Immortal" found it was in "Afternoon" magazine, clicked on the link and discovered that the magazine also ran Eden, Parasyte, Gunsmith Cats, Shadow Star etc. which are all manga series I enjoy.

naturesbless 07-25-2008 10:04 PM
I love manga in general so it's hard for me to make a choice... sorry. xD

emmygirl121 07-25-2008 10:11 PM
Probably Shojo...

I like some Seinen though

naturesbless 07-25-2008 10:34 PM
Ah, Shojo is good. But I will read pretty much anything as long as it isn't Naruto or Bleach... I don't really like them for some reason. :X

kwkyori 07-27-2008 11:10 PM
shojo and shonenai X3

xoxoobsessionxoxo 07-28-2008 07:31 PM
shojo it was my first anime/manga group:rheart: and will always be my number 1!

QuoyaNatsume 07-28-2008 07:36 PM
Manga!!!!! I love it all when I get the chance to watch & read it!!!
I wish I knew some good Vampire manga's to read & not boring one's they don't hold my attention very long.

If anybody know's of any I would appreciate the recommendations!! :vsign:

chibichick83 09-05-2008 05:02 PM
Shojo by far baby!!! But I opt for the odd Shonen story every now and again also :)

eastface 09-08-2008 01:54 AM
