Shounen vs Seinen

Which do you prefer?

I love both but I prefer seinen manga. Like Gantz!

I dunno...

Fist of the North Star was always been in the weekly shounen jump (thus making it shounen), despite it technically being more of a seinen manga.

On the other hand, JoJo is seinen now....


I guess seinen then.

Both.

As long as the work is good, I don't care what demographic it is. Still, Seinen may have the advantage here due to Berserk alone.

Oh yes, that one is awesome...
By chance, do you have a link for it? I kinda missed out pass volume 30...

Seinen. Unlike Shounen, it doesn't usually show the world in a simplistic black and white view, but rather in shades of grey.

I like both equally.

Whether it's a shounen or seinen really does not make that much of a difference too me. 8)

Seems that a lot of people prefer both. I prefer shounen and Seinen as well. I just can't choose. <_<

I seem to read more Shounen, but the Seinen that I've come across have been great. I also like it, because it adds variety to what I read/watch.

Don't really care what type as long as it's a good read... I just plain love manga^^

Got a problem?

Im gonna have to say both, since both genres has awesome titles.

I like both, but I seem to lean more towards seinen in most cases.

I second that.

Sorry for the noob question but what is seinen and what are the differences to shounen?

I think i generally read shounen but i'm not really sure now...

Wiki would tell you that:
"Shounen sometimes transliterated as shonen, is a Japanese word used in English to refer to manga intended for young boys. Shōnen anime and manga is typically characterized by high-action, often humorous plots featuring male protagonists. The camaraderie between boys or men on sports teams, fighting squads and the like is often emphasized. Attractive female characters with exaggerated features are also common (see fan service), but are not a requirement; Dragon Ball Z, for example, has only a few such characters. The art style of shōnen is generally less flowery than that of shōjo, although this varies greatly from artist to artist, and some artists draw both shōnen and shōjo.

Seinen is a subset of manga that is generally targeted at an 18–30 year old male audience, but the audience can be much older with some comics aimed at businessmen well into their 40s. It has a wide variety of art styles and more variation in subject matter, ranging from the avant-garde to the pornographic. The female equivalent to seinen manga is josei manga. In Japanese, the word Seinen means "young man" or "young men", and it is not indicative of sexual matter."

so generally shounen mangas are those mangas like dragon ball, Ichigo 100%,Suzuka or the like?

Then seinen would be those slice of life types? perhaps like Welcome to the NHK and something like that?

dood, suzuka is seinen.

I was under the impression that it was shounen?
I can't remember it having any seinen-level material in it, if you don't count that sex scene that we didn't get to see.

oops, you guys are right, my bad. :shock:

lol..... i knew it.... it was more shounen ....
