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.

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE


You see into the deepest part of me ---

beyond the fog I hide behind.

You cast your light upon the shadows

that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.

You ease the pain when I am hurting,

and morbid visions from my past

pierce into the realm of Reason

as though I danced on blades of glass.

You grant me strength when I have fallen

and, once again, I've lost my way.

You take my hand in Yours and lead me

into the promise of a brand new day.

You bring order to all my chaos,

yet set my well-laid plans awry.

You place me on a firm foundation ---

then give me wings so I can fly.

You sand away my roughened edges

and polish all the dullest parts

until I stand before Your presence...

a newly-sculpted work of art.

You see into the heart within me,

right through my motives and selfish will.

And yet, in spite of all You see

You say You love me even still.

Man, I come to threads like this and feel so out of the loop.

I read Inuyasha from Shonen Sunday........

....but I read it faithfully every week!

Not that I am looking to join the Shonen Club - mainly because I prefer Shojo. I figured I could at least add my favorite shonen titles!

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

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

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.
