Would Hikaru no Go be considered shonen? It's in Shonen Jump...

Anyway I'm a big fan of One Piece and Yu Yu Hakusho. ^^

Can you also like shojo if you're in the shonen club? Also, is Shaolin Sisters shonen or shojo?

My favorite shonen mangas are, unless I get kicked out of this club for liking shojo:

Rave Master
One Piece
Naruto
Flame of Recca
Ragnarok
Samurai Deeper Kyo
Full Metal Alchemist

and it seems like I've read more, but I can't think of them at the moment.

  1. Naruto
  2. Rurouni Kenshin
  3. Trigun
  4. One Piece

Tuxedo Gin is shonen, it's published in Shogakukan. And the plot itself basically is shonen to the core with a male main char and heaps of fanservice. It's hard to tell, like Love Hina or Chobits (which are actually seinen titles--shonen manga for an even higher age group, mostly due to nudity, etc). Trust me, I know shonen when I see it XD XD

I would natually think that too. I mean, I read the first volume too.. err yeah.. O.O;; But, it said on the side Shoujo? Werid ey?

They probably confused it as shoujo as most people or publishers here do with seinen titles (Love Hina, Chobits or even Ah! Megami-sama! for instance, how many people thought THOSE were shoujo?). It's definitely shonen/seinen ^^

Aka-chan, yeah! Kindaichi's great, a more 'realistic' take on Detective Conan in ways ^^ They published over 10 volumes back in Indo and are still going strong, I've read a ton, but it was all back in my high school days ^^;; There was big talk on Kindaichi vs Shinichi and who would win among the mystery manga fandom in Indo... I don't think it was settled. But we all generally agreed Shinchi would win in style, LOL!! Kindaichi's too lazy to care ;P

LOL! Kindaichi, you lazy bum! *glomp* You gonna take that from Conan?!

Yeah, most of Takahashi's more popular works seem to be Bishonens (IE Ranma 1/2, Inu-Yasha.

I am so uch more a shonen person than shojo. It's sad though, I don't even know a third of the anime you guys are talking about. My favorite would be DBZ. Others are:

Yu Yu Hakusho
Yu-Gi-Oh (it's shonen right?)
Naruto
Ruroni Kenshin

Eh, there's more, but I'm just too lazy to try to remember them.
