| Take your finger off the exclamation mark D: That said, alot of my favorite manga is shounen. I'm a big fan of the Naruto manga which is pretty much shounen overdrive. Although not the best example. |
 |
| i dont think females have problems with shounen as males have problems with shoujo, but that's just me.. |
| I don't care if it was shonen or shojo or whatever the most importent to me is the story ^_^ |
       |
| oh kool! i just wanted to see. |

| Some girls have ruined shonen. Case in point Naruto. If not for the fangirls we wouldn't have to deal with that bastard Sasuke all the time. >_> |
 |
| I like both shounen and shoujo, but id rather watch/read shounen it almost always has more action |
    |
| there was a time when i thought reading shoujo manga made you gay. well, that's not true, eh? |
     |
| Sure, I have the same criteria for shounen that I do for shoujo, i.e. story and art. In either case, it takes me a while to find a manga that I like. |
| I read more seinen than anything, and I'm a girl. |
| I like lots of shounen manga - they're fun. Shoujo is fun too, though. |
| Yeah, of couse. I've read plenty of shonen mangas. And my first and third favorite manga out there are, Tsubasa Chronicles and Black Cat, and they're shonen (well, atleast the website says). |
| I read Shounen, I don't really care too much what genre a manga is though, it is all about how good the story and art are. I usually like Shounen art a lot, hahaha. I think it is really cool! |
| I read what I like. I dont care what its labeled as... |
 |
| I don't care about how a manga is labeled, if I like the story I'll read it. |
   |
| Most shonen these days are aimed at girls as much as guys anyway. Look at Yu Yu Hakusho. Do you really think Kurama was designed to be all the male watchers' favorite badass character? D. Grayman and Hitman Reborn both cater heavily to the fujoshi fanbase with the large cast of male characters. Etc etc, the point being shonen is a target demographic, not an exclusive group. That said, I love shonen. Not Naruto and Bleach so much, but a lot of my favorite manga are Shonen Jump titles. |
| Ich verstehe nicht |
| Even though I read most shoujo series. Some of my fav. series are shounen. Ex: Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, Chrno Crusade (ok, it isn't only aimed at shounen, but not typical shoujo either..) and of course Ranma 1/2, Love Hina, Chobits and Inuyasha too. So when I think about it, I actually have many shounen titles as my fav. even though I read much shoujo. |
 |
| As many have already mentioned, as long as the story is good it doesn't really matter which audience the author is aiming at. ^^'' Oh, and often the art plays a big part as well. |
 |
| I do :D I actually don't read a lot of Shojo, just vampire Knight or Yotsuba&!. I read Naruto, Bleach, Death Note, and I have an epic total of (2) Shonen Jump magazines ^^;; |

| Ich verstehe nicht |
| Yes, I do. Most of the time I read shonen manga over shoujo, but don't get me wrong, I do enjoy a shoujo every once in a while. I'm not always in the mood for mushy stuff, so I like to go to shonen series. I feel weird sometime though, because I'm always reading boys manga. My onii-chan tells me that some things are meant for older people, and young eyes shouldn't be seeing them, but I enjoy all different kinds of series. |
| I just started reading shounen manga. When I began reading manga, I decided to stick to shoujo first but then I realized that most of them are the same, and some are even boring, so I started reading shounen and seinen manga. I really like Reborn now - it's very entertaining (not just because of the bishies XD the story's really funny too). |
| ^_^ |
| yep ^^ its okays i love shounen as much as shojo |
 "...and so the lion fell in love with the lamb" |
| Of course, the majority of my manga is shounen. |
 |
| I pretty much like something from every genre, I don't care who the targeted audience is. |
| of course i do!i love shounen!and to be honest,sometimes you really get tired of so many lovey-dovey shoujo scenes XD shounen manga are captivating and thrilling.i love them! |
| I like Shonen better than Shojo and im a girl. Theres nothing wrong there. |
 |
| Do you read Shonen manga even though your a girl? ---> Do I have to assume that only girls are allowed to answer?? If not, here's my answer: I don't care, shojo or shounen or whatever else. As long as the story, art and characters are good, I'll check it out. Also, there are some shojo that are pure romance (overly romantic), and I tend to stay away from those. |
   |
| I use to readed shounen manga, but I drop it , and start watch it as in anime. Plus I use to be a big fan of shoujo manga back then. I'm not much of manga person, but when it come to manga, I some time read what it got in it. |

| I read both shoujo and shounen, though lately I've been reading more shoujo than shounen. |
 |
| anyone can read anything. :P and yes to the question |
| Yes! I like shounen much more than shoujo |
 |
| Of course! No true female manga fan wouldn't. Besides, some ery good manga are shounen, and it's nice to get away from all the lovey-dovey shoujo manga, not that all are. |
(Almost) 13 years on MAL! ()__() (='.'=) (")_(") |
| Shonen, Shojo, Josei, Seinen...anything~ I love it. >w< |
| I actually like shonen more than shoujo. A lot more.. ^^'' |
| I'm a guy, but eh, I feel like giving my opinion ... I'm the same as a few people who've said they don't care what the demographic is or whatever, as long as the story is good. |
  |
| I read mostly shoujo, but I also read a couple shonen mangas every once in a while and I enjoy them just the same... |
  |
| I'm a girl, but I came to find that every manga I've ever read (besides Fruits Basket) was shounen. I guess I just gravitate to shounen much easier than shoujo. |
the_seventh_l said: I love shonen manga. I actually just got the latest issue of Shonen Jump last night and had to read it via flashlight 'cos the power was out xD Lol, you bring a whole new meaning to the word "impatient"! :P Shoujo are a bit too exaggerated story-wise sometimes, and that's my only critic against the genre. I like the art though. |
|
| i like them both actually ^^ yeah, i dun really pay attention to if its shonen or shoujo, just reading it if the story sounds good :) |
| I'm really not bothered who the target audience is, if I think I'll enjoy it I'll read it |

| I love reading shounen!! But recently i realized that i enjoy more reading shoujo and watching shounen :p |
 |
| I read both, duh as long as the story is good it doesn't matter if the manga was drawn for boys or girls from the beginning. |
   |
| Although I love more of shoujo than shounen, I read shounen manga at times when I feel like it. When I read Rurouni Kenshin about a year ago, I knew that it's going to be my favorite shounen manga. Although I don't like Naruto, Inuyasha and other random shounen manga, I do like other ones. It depends on taste. |
