| I used to thought i'm a fan of shoujo manga. But nowdays i realize that i love shounen manga with a lot romance more than shoujo manga. |
 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ |
| Ofc :3 |
| Nyah, no ,Nyah ~ |
| Of course, since its so awesome/epic how everything goes in a shonen rather compared to other genres of manga. It is the most popular and i can't stand other genres so shonen is one of those genres that i read the most. |
 |
| I haven't got any problem reading shonen. I don't know why a girl will have problems with shonen neither a boy with shojo =S It depends on the story and your tastes, no your gender. And actually, my fav genre is seinen and yaoi XD |
♥  ♥  ♥ |
| If it's good I'll read it :) |
 |
| i do read both shonen and shojo but i prefer shonen manga you get tired easily if you read too much love story need more actions sometimes |
 iSignature "I specialize in reading manga but don't get how to draw manga at all" -Asaba Yuuki- |
| Of course! I like actions & any violence inside it (wushhuuu evil grin) |
| クライセルですよ >.< |
| yap^^ I used to read shojo manga, but now I prefer Shonen. somehow, I began to think that Shojo is quite monotone -___- |
 |
| They're both okay, but I prefer well-done Seinen and Josei manga (still searching for some good ones; the few good ones I've seen I can't remember what they were because I was around eight when I saw them...). Much more realistic and tend to have more emotional impact if done correctly. I don't like Shojo in general, because most of the characters are catered for fangirls. Very often cliched and I hate the "bad boy" personas. Good shojo manga tends to be fantastic though. On the other had, shounen usually has a bit more variety, and better action scenes. However, they're more likely to lose depth as the series goes on, and have too many fangirls now; they're really freaking annoying. |

| Shonen is great and so what if I'm a girl ? |
 |
| Yes, but if it's action it's more nice when they are moving, but I still read shonens, |
 |
| I read some shonen, but I prefer seinen. I tend to stay away from josei and shojo for the most part, though there are a few that I like. |
| DUH! |
 |
| yeaaa >D some shoujos are too cheesy for me lol i like action (Y) |
| I read both shonen and shojo. I prefer shonen because I want to see some good action and less romantic stuff. If they describe love in a more mature way (like they do in Nana), it really works on me. |
 |
| Of course. I also wear boxers occasionally too. |
AznKokoro said: Yeah, of course :D Girls can be a little boyish at times too like guys :P Epic fighting scenes, dark humor, and tear-jerking moments are what we live for also XD ^agree with this 100%^ But I tend to be more of a shounen ANIME watcher, than a shounen MANGA reader. I prefer shoujo manga to shounen manga, and shounen anime to shoujo anime. |
| I just read manga that I enjoy, regardless of who it's aimed at. I'm currently reading Bleach (which has gone way downhill, but still...), Blue Exorcist, Tegami Bachi and Bakuman |
 |
| I don't really read too shounenish shounen where they fight 90% of the time and make friends (or rather comrades) in the rest, but I like reading love stories from the point of view of the guy and I will read any story that looks interesting enough. |
| I read everything. :D |
| Yes, I do read manga even though I'm a girl. But I mostly fancy shoujo manga's. I hate shounen mangas with harem where the girls act all slutty. -.- I love mangas like Bleach, Gintama, Bakuman. :D |
| I prefer shoujo, then seinen, josei, BL and then shounen. but GL is still in the last place, but that's because I never saw any good ones. I don't count hentai. that's just shit. but I will read shounen rom-coms, the one thing that I don't like is super special powers (666 satan, yuyu hakusho...), 2 meters weapons (bleach...), girl's pansy's and bra's ala ecchi (some are good though, but not many. I disliked shin angyo onshi, but that is seinen), sports (eyeshield, meister ...) and stupid romance (well, sometimes it's just stupid. but that counts with shoujo too. stupid romance=bad manga. eg. IO, Kana) I liked dragonball just because it was nostalgic. and I think it's good... but other that these with ecchi, weapons, powers and other factors are still good by me. like angel densetsu (matrial arts, but still reliable), karin, azumanga, cheeky angel, GTO, neuro, midori no hibi, school rumble, NHK .... but I will still read shounen, I even have naruto in plan, once it ends, and one piece. and that one with gods..... but there will be still more other genres in my list :) |
| http://dunderheads.weebly.com/ ever had this urge to stalk a person on MAL and read/watch everything they read/watched? I had. |
| I still read them even though there not my favorite. But there still fun to read to me :) |

| I don't particularly watch anime based on demography. What appeals to me the most is generally series that have significant substance, profound ideas, progress, development, that sort of thing (although I do enjoy the inane). Other than that, I enjoy most emotional spectrums, and I think it'd be shallow to claim the adrenaline-packed as "superior" to the heartwarming (or vice-versa), or to limit our scope solely based on that. I think this is a rational attitude regardless of gender; people who refuse to watch something solely because it's "for" the opposite gender are just depriving themselves. |
| I am addicted to the genre. =P |
| My parents always taught me not to talk to strangers............Well, that went well didnt it? |
| What it all comes down to is whether or not the manga keeps my interest. So it doesn't matter if it's shojo or shounen, anything goes! =) |
 |
| I think you'd seek different things in both genre. For me, I like shounen mangas more than shoujo ones, but when I feel like getting sappy or love-stricken or fuwaa-fuwaa (or something cheesy, that is), I'd run for shoujo. :) But somehow, contrary to my saying above about liking shounen more, my two top fave manga is Emma and Banana Fish. Well, Emma is said to be a seinen but still it is counted as shoujo/josei for me. ;) |
| What about Reborn or anything done by CLAMP? Where do they fit in? |

Gunbladewarrior said: 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 dislike Sasuke too, BUT, that's not the fangirls' fault. The mangaka has stated a couple of times that Sasuke is his favourite character. I doubt public opinion influenced it that much. |
 |
| Yes i do read shonen manga now let me reverse this question. Do boys like to read shojo manga? |
 |
| If it's good I don't think it matters what gender you are... I'm a male and a cold hearted fuck at that but I secretly enjoy depressing romance shoujo manga ¬¬ |
 |
| I read any genre :) |
| I'm a girl, and I prefer Shonen over Shoujo. |

Gunbladewarrior said: trolololol, no, Naruto ruined itself without the help of fangirls, and Sasuke was destined to come back no matter how many people hate him. 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. >_> Honestly, in this day and age, i don't even know why something like a "shouen/shoujo" label exists. The difference between "seinen" and "josei" is even slimmer in many cases. sometimes I can't even believe the things that are labelled as "shounen," as there are so many nowadays that fit the "shoujo" bill, but have made the transformation to "shounen" via ecchi overload. That being said, most of my favorite shows are "shounen" in name, but I'd say there are a fairly equal number of genres in both shounen and shoujo anime that I avoid. |
A pinky-promise ain't something you take lightly -- Sakata Gintoki GINTAMA... I'LL BE WAITING FOR YOUR LEVELED-UP RETURN!!!! I'M WAITING FOR YOU... KINTAMA!!!!!?!! For the rest of you waiting with me... GO READ GINTAMA NOW!! (start at 372 where the anime left off) And everyone else, GO WATCH GINTAMA!! IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!!! |
| LOVE IT |
| I read Death Note, so that counts? :P I read a bit of Gantz too, oh wait.. Thats seinen.. |
| I like Shonen Manga a lot, especially longer ones, because I feel I can get to know the characters better c: |
