@sketchersstar icon comes from an nsfw doujin called metamorphosis/emergence, which, it has moderate gore and the creator stated that they didn't even like their creation, and they mostly made it to send a message. Emergence is a manga series that explores themes of identity, trauma, and mental health. The story follows a high school student named Ochita who experiences a traumatic event that leads to a split personality disorder. The philosophy behind the manga is rooted in the idea that our experiences shape who we are and that healing can come from understanding and accepting all parts of ourselves. The story also touches on the impact of societal pressures and the importance of seeking help when needed.
Shounen, shojo, seinen, etc refer to specific demographics the content is targeted at, i.e, the type of audience the writer and/or the marketing team had in mind during the production of the story. They're not genres of story telling. Action, Romance, comedy, etc are the only actual genres. One or more genres can fall under a specific demographic. Shounen anime's targeted demographic according to it's name, is young teen boys. So action is a common genre you'd find under it. It also means it's writing will commonly be less heavy handed/mature, with pacing and writing elements more in tune with facilitating the rhythm of action based story telling. But then you also have shows like "Frieren: Journey's End" being classified as Shounen, so these rules in the long run don't really have all the hand in determining what should be seen as Shounen/Seinen/etc or not or what writing decisions are fine under a genre.
For me, demographics dictate the trend of what is expected from these works, but the content is the author's and each magazine has its own genre trend, That being said, you have a Banana Fish Shoujo and a JoJo Shounen and later half of one of its parts in Seinen magazine and they are works that detach themselves from their demographic characteristics at the same time with strong characteristics of these demographics, but they do not dictate the story It's one of the reasons why I don't care and carry out analyzes without limiting myself to the demographics of the work, paying more attention to the content.
I feel like demographics (shonen, shojo, etc) has more to do with the publishing magazine than the subject matter. For example death note is a very serious, mature manga but it's a shonen. And then there's non non biyori, a cute bubbly manga and it's seinen
Half correct. Every self-published works fall into doujin. They are often derivative works. Both amateurs and professionals can make doujinshi as long as they are self-published. They are often sold via conventions such as comiket. Also worth noting that for those who don't know, doujinshi is a form of doujin. Doujinshi means that they are printed (magazine, manga, novel, etc).
A few more recommendations; Yuri; Sweet Blue Flowers, Whispered Words, Doughnuts Under a Crescent Moon, How Do We Relationship?, Girl Friends and Kase-san Food; Sweetness and Lightning Shojo; Kodocha Psychological; Apollo's Song
Hey man great video, just a quick correction. Detective Conan, or Case closed, wasn’t published on Weekly Shonen Jump but it was on Shogakukan’s magazine Weekly Shonen Sunday.
YESS i love horror and psychological manga. I had a whole phase about Junji Ito and I just finished his book Gyo, death stench creeps. And Im back in my phase about monster, which will always be a series thats close to my hear cuz its GOOD
Thank's for video. Even after 10 years of being interested in Japanese media, I did not know some stuff. But just to clarify. Yaoi is not the same as BL (Boys love). From what I have gathered, Yaoi is typically for older audience and most includes explicit sex scenes. On the other hand, BL is just general tag for gay romance (Sasaki to Miyano is currently not yaoi).
My recommendations: 7 Seeds (josei) - horror/survival/mystery about 5 groups of people that were put into a a cryogenic sleep after scientists discovered a huge meteor that is going to hit the earth and wipe almost all life. They get woken up once conditions on earth had become safe enough to live in Dance Subaru (seinen) - psychological drama about a ballet dancer. It's a simple premise but the journey is so worth it I Want to Hold Aono-kun so Badly I Could Die (seinen) - horror romance about a girl and her boyfriend Aono that died and came back as a ghost and their journey as they slowly start to realize that something is off about Aono Sleeping Dead (yaoi) - horror about a teacher who gets brought back from the dead by some mad scientist and can only survive by eating other humans. It's surprisingly cute
Comedy gets no respect. Someone told me his top comedies of the year were and he listed 3 ecchi harem. He thought it was pointless to watch comedy without tits and besides that sex humour it's the only humour he enjoys. I was crashed.
Yokai doesn't mean ghost, the closest English translation is "faerie". Sure, they can be characters of horror stories, but they might just as well appear in children's faerie tales. The Japanese word for ghost is yurei, and ghost stories are called kaidan.
I've been looking at your channel since the first video of this series blew up. You found something in a differen't niche and made it work for you. This awesome! Keep it up
7:19 HOLY S*** I JUST REMEMBERED SITTING IN A DARK ROOM WITH LIGHT FROM THE TV WHEN THEY'D BROADCAST THE OLD ADAPTATION OF CAPTAIN TSUBASA LATE AT NIGHT WHEN I WAS A KID AND MY PARENTS WERE SLEEPING. Good times you could have mentioned 'bartender' with the food genre, since you also talked about drinks
If you want the best 4koma mangas check out every manga serialized in the Manga Time Kirara magazines, you might recognize a lot of these titles from the anime adaptations, such as Hidamari Sketch, K-ON, Gochiusa(my favorite series of all time), Kinmoza, A-Channel, Blend S, New Game, Machikado Mazoku, Urara Meirochou, Slow Start, Comic Girls, Bocchi The Rock, etc.
A fun fact about Captain Tsubasa is that it singlehandedly inspired Japan’s greatest player of all time named Hidetoshi Nakata. He at the time was not only Japan or Asia’s biggest player but was a global celebrity. Without him Roma (Italian club) might have never won their 3rd title after 20 years of no league titles. He also was fairly responsible to the development of the National team too.
maybe explain manga magazines like Shounen Jump(the ones that serialized One Piece, Dragon Ball, Naruto Boku No Hero), Shounen Weekly(which serialized Fairy Tail), Comic Yuri Hime(serialized Yuru Yuri), Comic Cune(known manga in this magazine: Hinako Note, Tonari no Kyuuketsuki-san, Pan de Peace, Watashi no Tame ni Nuginasai), Manga Time Kirara(famous manga titles: Hidamari Sketch, K-ON, Gochiusa, Kinmoza, Urara Meirochou, A-Channel, Blend S, New Game, Bocchi The Rock, Machikado Mazoku, Comic Girls, Slow Start, Gakkou Gurashi, Yuyushiki, ...), etc
Note for the horror section. Yokai is a much broader term than just ghosts. It encapsulates everything from spirits and demons to cryptids, mythical creatures, and so on.
Doujin's origin meaning was pretty much manga fanfiction, as in, a story written by non official sources and drawn out in a story, but as most hentai is technically defined as Doujin by its fanfic nature, it took on the name and changed its meaning to sexual manga based around existing fiction.
I wish you'd expanded on Seinen a bit more as not every Seinen is dark, edgy or pessimistic. Some are lighter and softer like Skip and Loafer, My Dress-up Darling, and Bocchi the Rock.
I want y'all to know that One, the author of One Punch Man, is a very, very good artist. I don't know when he learnt, but he deliberately draws One Punch Man the way he does which I think is hilarious
the biggest problem with this video is that it is mixing demographic and genres and meshing them under the same umbrella which is such a disservice to the manga industry and authors as a whole.
I read my First Manga last year "AKIRA" A classic from the 1980's It is funny that the first manga of a 21st century boy like me, is probably the first for thousands of others. AKIRA really brought Manga to the west.
I'm into psychological, action, super power, supernatural, sci-fi, adventure, magic, martial arts, sports, mystery and suspense. Other anime genres that I don't have much interest in but still watch are Mecha, romance and comedy. Obviously hen*ai is out of the question😂😂
2:33 I don't understand why To Your Eternity is considered a Seinen. I am currently watching the anime (just finished Bonchien arc), and, it didn't seem that kind of story that usually seinens have. Maybe the manga has a more mature plot and a more mature arguments. I honestly would but To Your Eternity as a psychological, seeing the theme of immortality and how Fushi doesn't want to live forever, which can be connected to the theme of suicide; but that's just my opinion, so.
The Pokemon doujin is what I expected the official manga to be.
Gardevoir 🥰🥰🥰
man you just brought back some dark memories with that Doujin icon.

Fucking Dungeon Meshi, a Fantasy cooking Manga is also a Seinen
@@collexig ....that one makes sense as a seinen though. it's violent and has nudity
Doujin is just comic fanfiction.
Ancient Wattpad?
Not necessarily. There are some original doujinshi too. Doujinshi refers to any self-published works.
@@themuttonqueen1076 is a good comparation what to games is a indie game?

Another yuri for rec: Koi Yori Aoku
I’d say it’s the SasaMiya of yuri, but maybe a bit more mature in its tone
Please keep these explainer videos coming theyre entertaining
Really liking these explained videos, thank you
The Drops of God has gotta be the most badass title I’ve ever heard. Gotta go read it immediatel!
damn straight forward to the topic, nice

Ari bro it looks like you posted a comment but I can't see it on Mobile for some reason. ;-;
Sayonara, Akira Sensei
A salute to the fallen
I see you have gotten into more joesei since the anime generes video
this video is so well made, i would show this to anyone who was trying to get into reading manga for the first time
YESS i love horror and psychological manga. I had a whole phase about Junji Ito and I just finished his book Gyo, death stench creeps. And Im back in my phase about monster, which will always be a series thats close to my hear cuz its GOOD
I heard that more correct definition of what is called Shonen as a genre its called Nekketsu which can be translated as "hot blood"
So correct that Berserk is very Shounen and... No wait...!
SUBBED COMPLETELY. THIS WAS AN EXELENT VIDEO... GOOD JOB BRO.
I WISH MORE PEOPLE WILL SE THIS AND UNDERSTAND WHY CERTAIN MANGAS ARE THE WAY THEY ARE.
Thank's for video. Even after 10 years of being interested in Japanese media, I did not know some stuff.
But just to clarify. Yaoi is not the same as BL (Boys love). From what I have gathered, Yaoi is typically for older audience and most includes explicit sex scenes. On the other hand, BL is just general tag for gay romance (Sasaki to Miyano is currently not yaoi).
i m certain bl literally translates to 'shounen (young boys) ai (love)' which is the accurate genre for that rather than yaoi
My recommendations:
7 Seeds (josei) - horror/survival/mystery about 5 groups of people that were put into a a cryogenic sleep after scientists discovered a huge meteor that is going to hit the earth and wipe almost all life. They get woken up once conditions on earth had become safe enough to live in

Yes bro Witch Hat Atelier is amazing, as well as Naucissa valley of the wind
i still love that one of kentauro miura's biggest inspirations for berserk was rose of versaille
Yokai = evil gods / spirits
Oni = demons
Yurei = ghosts.
Comedy gets no respect. Someone told me his top comedies of the year were and he listed 3 ecchi harem. He thought it was pointless to watch comedy without tits and besides that sex humour it's the only humour he enjoys. I was crashed.
LAND OF THE LUSTROUS MENTION, the manga recently ended back in april and I'm still coping

For me, the peak of psychological is definitely Usogui. Read it, you are doing yourself a favor
I appreciate the inclusion of Beastars in the seinen section. Fantastic manga (and anime)!
RIP Akira Toriyama 🤍🕊️🪦
Naoki Urasawa is the GOAT. Seriously, if you guys haven't seen Pluto go watch it.

Not having the tokyo ghoul manga is a CRIME (Best food manga)
i wish there were more mystery manga, it's one of my favorite genres. i'm enjoying "don't call it mystery" right now
have you read 20th century boys?
Make video on korean manhwa and Chinese donghua
the hetalia jumpscare at 6:47 for the yaoi and Yuri explanation made me laugh uncontrollably
Do every light novel genre explained next!😄🤩😎👌
You didn’t really explain at all you just gave us history lessons for each

@@ClassicalBro76 MDD is seinen. It's published in Young Gangan, a seinen magazine.
Holy you went straight to the point I even got scared
I love the videos you make in this series!! Maybe you can explore anime character tropes next if you’re not already doing that? 😮
You dind't talk about hajime no ippo on sport section, really make me sad, but well good video man👍🏼

Houseki is fantasy but the main theme is the psychological destruction of the main character. It’s so fucking good it makes me wanna km
Ngl
I my fav is prob
Psychoological and Food
There is a difference between demographic and genre
Exactly what I'm saying
But it seems he mentioned so in his video though
jaw dropped when I saw ssmy in the thumbnail
Just watched the video fully. This is a great video actually.
20th century boys is peak 🪬👆
No Longer Human was a crazy read

OMG MY FAV MANGA IS TPN (my life.)
AND THEN THERE'S OSHI NO KO MY SECOND FAV MANGA
Okay I love psychological
thank for the information even those doujinshi are fanfiction
I think that Detective Conan only is called "Case closed" in the US. In Spain it always was "Detective Conan".
not talking about the climber in sports / psychological is kinda crazy
You didn't cover the harem genre. That's one of the key genres along with isekai that's leading the anime industry.
Isekai is something you could've included, although it's just a subgenre of fantasy.
Not mentioning Ippo in sports manga is wild
Wheres the isekai, ecchi, harem, and sci-fi genres

mentioned my broken mariko, dorohedoro, dungeon meshi, claymore, witch hat ateiler AND hnk??? oh yeah im killing you with my mind and eating you
4:20 I don't drink beer, I'll take an oolong tea instead
Bro simply described how popular shonen mangas are but didn't describe what a shonen anime actually is
All l know about genre in anime is probably only should have this: Action, Horror, Comedy, Drama, Ecchi, and Mistery.
