| Hell yes I read Shounen. When I tell guys about it they're like "no waiiiii". Lawl, neeeeerds. |
   |
| I read it :) When it comes right down to it, one reads what one wants to and is interested in, no matter the audience it's aimed at. Who's to say that a girl can't enjoy male interests, and vice versa? Besides, most of the shounen titles have more universal appeal anyways. :D Having said that, I do prefer seinen, because they just seem more interesting to me. I find the shounen titles I've read are more likely to have fillers... |
| Of course. Reading a cetrain type of genre has nothing to do with one's gender. while it's true that the term shounen is often used to describe the type of audience the manga/anime is directed too but reading the manga from a male's point of view or a female doesn't make it unrelatable or unenjoyable. I relate to alot of protagonists in shounen mangas and animes. |
| Yeah I read some shounen. I even have shounen manga as a few of my fav. Chobits, Love Hina (okay, so not exactly shounen, but it has shounen humor i think) Ranma 1/2 is marked as a shounen and i loved that series. I also read and love Tsubasa Reservoir chronicle which also is marked shounen for some reason... |
 |
| Shounen tends to have a higher drop percentage with me. Perhaps I read too many popular series that are designed to drag on, thus I lose interest. I'm less inclined to experiment/pick random titles. E_chan said: This is one shounen series I'm still sticking with after many volumes. It's marked shounen because that's what it is. CLAMP does many different genres.I also read and love Tsubasa Reservoir chronicle which also is marked shounen for some reason... |
| Yeah, I read :). Sometimes I prefer action and battles to characters who fall in love over and over. |
| I actually prefer shounen manga over shojo. I just like the action and battles better. |
 |
| eh, why not? i love reading manga w/ different genres ^^ |
| if it counts, all manga in my reading list is shounen and seinen... and I have no any manga rated more than 5 that's not shounen or seinen. =) yeah, seinen rocks. sometimes shounen too =) don't like shoujo. really don't like. managed to read some titles but it wasn't that great. same goes to yaoi and all variations... (yeah, yaoi fans, you will beat me, but it is ^__^) |
 |
| are you kidding of course shonen is way better than shoujo |
| Yes, I never limit myself to one genre just because I'm not the target audience. Sugoi-otaku said: are you kidding of course shonen is way better than shoujo I'd totally disagree with that but it depends on the series, really. =3= Most shounen is probably way better than Yuu Watase's stuff. lol |
  |
| Duh! They're the most interesting, I love action. I started reading some shoujo and almost fell asleep, sooo boring. |

| I love both ^^ I don't really care about the genre as long as I like the manga =) but sometimes I just want to read something love filled and sometimes I need action xD depends on my mood =) |
    |
| i don't think most people pay attention to if its shonen or shojo as long as the person likes it, they read it o.O i'm a girl and i love read martial art shonen mangas like Holyland, Ultra red, and Baki ^_^ |
| of course yes! why not.. esp like bleach, or naruto and etc.. |
 |
| Duh. Action rocks. |
| Of course! I like more shonen (especially from Shonen Jump) than I do shoujo series. |
| I read a lot of shonen. I don't think you need to be a guy to enjoy a good action story. ^_^ |
 |
| Sometimes. But if a shounen only has female characters that are whiny, clingy and generally weak, I always stop reading. |
| Yup i read em. But i stop when the girls are horrible er..like a weakling and whines and always gets into trouble... then is saved and cries *blah *bah.. |

| I didn't realize this was still an issue for people. I read what I like, I don't care about the label. Chances are I probably don't even know which categories the manga I read fall into. |
| Sure. If i like it. I read a manga if I like it, doesn't matter what genre it is. |
| |
Satori said: I didn't realize this was still an issue for people. I read what I like, I don't care about the label. ^ This. |
 |
| I personally prefer the action of a shounen to the romance of a shoujo. |
 |
| Don't care either way. And I think labels and purposely made demographics are unnecessary. |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| I used to read a lot of shoujo, but nowadays I'm mainly into shounen (without ecchi elements) and seinen. I find them simply more interesting and enjoyable. |
| duh yes! I love shounen manga..it has more action and explosions and Im not really into very cutesy manga's unless they involve yaoi. |
 |
| I'm a guy, and I read basicaly everything, romance, action, everything.. Except Yaoi, I'm straight. And I dont think its any different for girls.. (Except the Yaoi part) |
| I end up reading more shojo than shounen but what really matters is the levels of obsession in those categories... yeah, shounen totally beats shojo's butt in the obsessed fangirl category *air gear, code geass, death note, nabari no ou, sayonara zetsubou sensei, ect.* |
haha~ do i ever! |
| I don't see why not. |
 |
| of course!!!i like more than shoujo mangas.... |
| I do. |
| Yeah, it's interesting, so i read it :D |
 |
| Yep. I read manga from most demographics. Shoujo can get a little stale after a while so I like to read seinen or shounen manga as well. |
 |
Fuyumine said: Shoujo can get a little stale after a while can't that be said about anything?? i personally read more shoujo than shounen. anymore though its josei and sienen |
 |
| I do red more shoujo than shounen, but on my top 5,3 or 4 of my top five manga series can be classified as shounen. |
| |
| Heck yea. . . . I find shounen as good as shoujo most of the time. . . it just depends on the story |
 |
| Yes, I definately love reading shounen. Lots of action with blood! Plus, the plots are great. I just can't stand shoujo. The originals were great. Just the new ones kinda suck nowadays. I can't seem to find a good shoujo manga with an original storyline. |
| Yarr, of course. I like a well balanced diet of shoujo and shounen. I'm not sure why, but my brother hates it when I read shoujo. Which is weird because he reads Twilight (mega girly >_>) |
