Manga - Studying Ideas

Who doesn't like to read comics, and especially, the Japanese equivalent that is manga? However with 1000's of genres and titles, it's quite confusing to know what genres will appeal us, and what titles to begin studying, particularly if we are just starting to discover this fascinating medium.

One thing it's essential to know, manga shouldn't be "comedian books for teenagers", and there are genres that may cover every group age, gender and social group.

So, what manga should you Read manga?

Well, lets begin with the genres and a few options of titles:

Redikomi or Josei, from the Japanese "Girl Comedian". Generally known as Josei (female).This genre is aimed from late teenage girls to grownup, going past the idealized romance of Shojo, with a more realistic take on fashionable Japanese girls's relationships. I recommend: "Midnight Secretary", "Gokusen" and "Honey and Clover".

Seinen (young man) is the male counterpart of Redikomi/Josei. Genres are comparatively the identical as Shonen, except that they are darker and more somber. My suggestions: "Bastard!!", "Berserk" advert "Basilisk".

Shojo or Shoujo (literally "woman") is a manga geared toward youthful females as much as the age 18. A give attention to romance and relationships from a teenage woman level of view. Recommendations: "Ceres Celestial Legend", "Fushigi Yuugi" and "Love Celeb".

Shonen or Shounen (It interprets literally as "boy"), the male counterpart of shojo, centering on adventure, motion and Martial Arts genres. Manga recommendations: "Bleach", "Naruto" and "Full Metal Alchemist".

Yuri or Shojo-ai is based on feminine/female romantic relationships robust, graphically portrayed themes. Shojo-ai translates actually as "Lady-love". Yuri interprets literally as "Lily". In Japan, the term GL (Girl Love) is also used. Really useful readings: "Strawberry Panic", "Free Soul" and "Love My Life".

Shonen-ai / Yaoi, the male equivalent of Shojo-ai/. Shonen-ai interprets as "Boy-love" BL (Boy Love). Less graphic than Yuri. Advisable readings: "Count Cain - GodChild", "Boys Subsequent Door" and "Just Across the Nook".

Hentai: this manga is sexually hardcore manga. Hentai is Japanese for "perverted" or "perversion" (grownup content material). Recommendations: "Step Up Love Story", "Maid in Heaven" and "Attractive Magical Woman".

The subsequent step is to actually go discover these titles. But with busy schedules and limited assets, particularly when we just wish to take a look at the waters, going to the precise manga retailer may be challenging. That is why studying manga online is usually a good alternative.
