| Why did Jojo's Bizarre Adventure become a seinen after Part 6? Isn't seinen manga marketed towards adults? I would love to hear your opinion on this. Also apparently Part 7 is a reboot of the franchise. |

| Essentially the magazine the books were published in changed. The first 23 chapters of Steel Ball Run were actually published in Weekly Shonen Jump, but from Steel Ball Run chapter 24 onwards, all Jojo chapters would be published in Ultra Jump, which is a seinen magazine. The switch to the magazine has a lot of benefits since it is on a monthly release schedule, so the chapters are able to be longer and have more detailed artwork than the weekly schedule which can be very demanding on an artist. |

| Because it was published in a seinen magazine, as simple as that. Pro tip? Stop caring about whether something is seinen/shounen/whatever, most of the time it's about the magazine rather than the content, that's why there are plenty of battle manga or dumb romcoms with teenagers labeled as seinen. Or why some works of an author are both seinen or shoujo when the contents are the exact same (Junji Ito for example) |

| @Armandoriel Seconding this. The difference between seinen and shonen especially is basically nonexistent. I think shojo stuff tends to be a little more differentiated from shonen and seinen in terms of the kinds of stories they tend to tell and some artstyle preferences (correct me if I'm wrong), but either way manga demographic classifications nowadays seem like more of a holdover from earlier times. |
