13Seinen (Japanese for "young man" or "young men", and pronounced [ˈseɪ ˌnen], not [ˈsaɪ ˌnen]) is a [[UsefulNotes/MangaDemographics demographic designation]] of {{Manga}} targeted at male audiences aged 18 to 40. It is the older counterpart of {{Shonen}} and effectively makes for the majority of anime adaptions in the older demographic, since major {{Josei}} manga titles are rarely made into anime. Compared to shonen, seinen caters to a much smaller viewing crowd, since younger audiences have much more time to spare on anime, which makes them a more attractive target, and thus is slightly less known.[[note]]Ironically, in America this is considered a very lucrative demographic, but with the country's aging population, it means that there just aren't as many people in this demographic to advertise to.[[/note]]
14
15Thanks to the older target audience, seinen shows tend to be much more sophisticated and mature than their shonen counterparts. Much more attention is paid to the plot and the interaction between characters than to action and fights[[note]]That doesn't mean seinen series don't have excellent action scenes though; many of them such as ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' and ''Manga/{{Wolfsmund}}'' have extremely detailed and excellently-drawn action scenes.[[/note]], which are the main attraction for most viewers, and the characters are well fleshed out. The latter trait often leads to confusion of seinen with {{Shoujo|Demographic}} but the key difference is that seinen [[SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism does not idealize romance, instead opting for a more realistic and pragmatic approach to relationships]]. Realism is indeed the calling card of seinen shows, commonly earning them the acclaim for their depth and maturity and MultipleDemographicAppeal.
16
17A typical seinen protagonist can be of any gender and [[CoolOldGuy age]] (in stark contrast to shonen, whose protagonists are almost exclusively young and male), but tend to be young adults (like its target audience). Romance-wise, anything goes, from PseudoRomanticFriendship to obscure examples of BoysLove. In fact, lesbian characters are a distinctive trait of seinen, rarely if ever present in shonen shows, since many readers of seinen manga are {{Yuri Fan}}s. Relationships are portrayed in a less idealistic light than in shojo, with many grays and uncertainties like in RealLife, and don't tend to indulge the shonen over-simplification of "[[BettyAndVeronica which heroine]] will be [[LastMinuteHookup hooked up with the hero]]". Seinen series are also known for the [[CuteGirlsDoingCuteThings controversial and divisive sub-category]] of ImprobablyFemaleCast and HaremSeries that rely heavily on cutesy {{Moe}} elements (again, contrasting with the more blatant {{fanservice}} focused on female characters in shonen) to attract viewers. These series tend to be on the opposite side of the SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism from the grim type of seinen, instead being [[LighterAndSofter fluffy, heart-warming, and comedic]].

103!!Common tropes seen in seinen works:
104* CharacterDevelopment: A lot of romantic seinen works puts a lot of emphasis on character development.
105* DarkerAndEdgier: Many works in this demographic tend to be darker and more cynical than {{shonen}} works, and can tackle more mature topics and philosophical concepts since they're aimed at an older audience. Some series even go so far as to deconstruct tropes that are more common in shonen works.
106* {{Deconstruction}}: Seinen works often deconstruct popular tropes from shounen, particularly the action fighter and mecha types. This is why many of the ''actual'' dark shonen works (like ''Manga/DeathNote'', ''Manga/DeadmanWonderland'' and ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'') [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids are mistaken for seinen]].
107* {{Escapism}}:
108** Seinen is known to have {{moe}} and SchoolgirlSeries SliceOfLife works geared towards this. Bonus points that some of them tend to be {{Iyashikei}}.
109** Even besides works entirely focused on young women, a large quantity of seinen works ''still'' focus on high school students or high-school aged characters, as many adult readers have nostalgia for that period of life.
110** Since many seinen works have CrapsackWorld and AfterTheEnd dystopian settings, most of them also fit into this as well.
111* GreyAndGrayMorality: Or BlackAndGreyMorality if the author is really cynical. Because of seinen's emphasis on realism, most of the characters aren't exactly purely good nor evil characters. The protagonists are usually either AntiHero, GoodIsNotNice, UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans or KnightInSourArmor while the villains are usually AntiVillain, WellIntentionedExtremist, or KnightTemplar.
112** Seinen is usually more detailed in philosophical themes than shounen works, normally falling on the grey side of morality. Common philosophical themes include [[NecessarilyEvil consequentialism]], desconstruction of [[ForHappiness utilitiarianism]] or existentialism.
113* HotterAndSexier: Compared to shounen, seinen allows for more explicit sexual content to be shown than plain old fanservice.
114* LighterAndSofter: While {{shonen}} has gotten DarkerAndEdgier, {{seinen}} works have gone the opposite direction with SchoolgirlSeries, SliceOfLife works, and [[invoked]] {{moe}} series. This reflects a trend towards {{escapism}}.
115* OtakuOClock: Seinen anime series usually air in this time slot.
116* PanderingToTheBase: A common criticism by Western fans is that some seinen anime caters to otaku in Japan with the prevalence of {{moe}}, which is [[AmericansHateTingle heavily disliked in the West]].
117* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: In contrast to the idealism usually found in shounen works, seinen puts more emphasis on realism and pragmatic character relationships. Many have pessimistic, nihilistic, and/or [[AfterTheEnd post-apocalyptic]] settings targetting their more mature audience. In contrast, other seinen works in the SchoolgirlSeries, SliceOfLife, and harem subgenres rely on ImprobablyFemaleCast and heavy use of {{Moe}} and {{Fanservice}}. These tend to fall on the idealistic side of the scale.
118* SchoolgirlSeries: Yes, despite focusing on the lives of high school girls, SliceOfLife works featuring them are normally geared towards this demographic rather than [[{{Shoujo}} a younger demographic of the opposite gender]]. This is for various reasons such as {{Moe}} appeal, nostalgia for high school, and the lack of prospects of having children (as Japan is known to have the lowest birth rates in the world).
119* TwelveEpisodeAnime: Many anime adaptations of seinen works only run for one cour.
120* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForLittleGirls: There are a lot of seinen manga and anime that focus on young female characters and have cute, brightly-colored visuals, which can make many people assume they're aimed at young girls rather than adult men. Not helped by the fact that [[PeripheryDemographic some preteen and teenage girls actually like those shows]], with ''Manga/KOn'' and ''Franchise/LoveLive'' even going as far as to be aired on the Japanese Creator/DisneyChannel (albeit with some minor censorship), thus making this even more surprising to some people.

200* ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'': Extremely violent and graphic content, as well as mature and complex themes, put ''Berserk'' firmly in this category. The prototype version was a violent {{Shonen}} work like ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'', but when Miura started the series proper he retooled it for an older audience while keeping a lot of influences from the shonen manga that inspired him. He was also significantly influenced by shoujo such as ''Manga/TheRoseOfVersailles''.

(Makes sense, many of the actual readers are adult men who grew with it, [[PeripheryDemographic alongside some adult women as well]].)

However, it was re-launched on Shueisha's Shonen Jump Plus as ''Hetalia: World☆Stars'' in 2014. The anime seems to be for younger viewers (not the Creator/{{Funimation}} GagDub, however) and the [[WebFirst original webcomic]] is... a webcomic, so there's no set demographic. The webcomic is where you'll find the most HoYay and male fanservice.

591* ''Literature/LegendOfTheGalacticHeroes'': The manga adaptation is published in ''Monthly Comic Ryu''.
592* ''Manga/TheLegendOfKoizumi''
593* ''Manga/TheLegendOfMotherSarah'': A quite unusual number since the protagonist is an ActionMom and many themes approached are related to family and children, despite the bleak setting.
594* ''Literature/TheLegendOfTheLegendaryHeroes'': Though the primary manga adaptation is shounen, the ''Legend of the Legendary Heroes Revision'' manga was published in ''Young Gangan''.
595* ''Manga/Level1DemonLordAndOneRoomHero''
596* ''Manga/LoneWolfAndCub'' (a.k.a ''Kozure Okami'')

602* ''Manga/LivingGame''
603* ''Manga/{{Locodol}}''
604* Manga and supplementary materials from the ''Franchise/LoveLive'' franchise runs in ''Dengeki G's Magazine'' and ''Dengeki G's Comic'', which are seinen publications:
605** ''Manga/LoveLive''
606** ''Manga/LoveLiveSunshine''
607* ''Manga/LoveLucky''
608* ''Manga/LoveInHell''
609* ''Manga/LoveMeForWhoIAm''
610* ''Manga/LoveRoma''
611* ''Manga/TheLuciferAndBiscuitHammer''
612* ''Manga/LucuLucu''
613* ''Manga/LupinIII'': While it began in one of the earliest Seinen magazines, and kept its sensibilities for the pilot film and first few episodes of the [[Anime/LupinIIIPart1 original TV series]], the rest of the series took a somewhat LighterAndSofter path. The rest of the franchise jumps back and forth, with [[Anime/LupinIIIPartII more]] [[Anime/TheCastleOfCagliostro child-friendly]] [[Anime/LupinIIITheItalianAdventure entries]], but the [[Anime/MysteryOfMamo occasional]] [[Anime/LupinIIITheWomanCalledFujikoMine venture]] back into the adult-oriented.
614* ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'' is a MagicalGirl franchise which is aimed squarely at adult men, especially since later entries tone down the magical girl elements in favor of more sci-fi elements. Much of its multiple manga adaptations, sequels and spinoffs were serialized in ''Megami Magazine'', ''Nyantype'' and "Comp Ace."

627* ''Manga/{{Magikano}}''
628* ''Manga/{{Mahoromatic}}''
629* ''Manga/MaiBall''
630* ''Manga/MaisonIkkoku'': One of the few works by Creator/RumikoTakahashi to ''not'' be shonen; most of the characters are adults and the romance is much more grounded than in Takahashi's other works.

670* ''Manga/{{Moteki}}''
671* ''Manga/{{Mouse}}''
672* ''Manga/MPDPsycho'' - oddly enough, emphasis on legendary kind of ''odd'', the series began its serialization in a monthly {{Shonen}} magazine (Shonen Ace) and stayed on it for ''years'', then it rightfully moved to Comic Charge and later to Young Ace, both genuine {{Seinen}} magazines.

1028* ''Yomeiro Choice'': Only the first collected Volume, when it was published in the short-lived seinen magazine ''Champion RED Ichigo''. ''Ichigo'' was the sister seinen magazine to ''Champion RED'', a shonen magazine well-known for serializing series ''usually'' [[https://www.mangaupdates.com/showtopic.php?tid=11100 mistaken for]] seinen, as most series are filled of what could only be considered as adult content. Later on, after the series got popular, it was moved to ''Champion RED'', making it one of the only examples of a seinen moving to a shonen and not the other way around.

1043!! Series sometimes mistaken for seinen [[note]]Some of them listed under here also fall into the WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids territory, while others would be considered seinen but for the InNameOnly magazine they were published in.[[/note]]
1044
1045* ''Manga/AkameGaKill'' is one of the darkest manga ever written, with [[AnyoneCanDie numerous likable characters being killed off]], tons of gore, the incorporation of rape, and numerous TearJerker scenes that can easily be labeled as seinen. However, the series ran under the Gangan Joker magazine, which is a shonen magazine, and the series still incorporates numerous (albeit {{Deconstructed}}) shonen tropes.
1046* ''Manga/{{Akumetsu}}'', a series which runs on heavy, yet well constructed, critics against a corrupt Japanese government, protagonized by basically a young terrorist dead set on killing as many corrupt politicians as he can find. Yes, all of it ran in a shonen magazine from start to finish.
1047* ''Manga/ApocalypseZero'', in spite of its [[{{Gorn}} infamously graphic violence]], was published in Shonen Champion. Shonen Champion is published by the same company who makes Champion RED but runs a mix of lighter (Squid Girl, Yowamushi Pedal, Saint Seiya) and darker (Baki the Grappler, Magical Girl Apocalypse, and s-CRY-ed) fare. The manga is actually ''more'' violent than the {{OVA}}s. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's also by the author of ''Manga/{{Shigurui}}''.
1048* ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' is lauded for its realistic depiction of war, with the war in question being human against [[ToServeMan human-eating]] mindless giants. A majority of the named characters are either [[MauveShirt Mauve Shirts]] or [[ShellShockedVeteran nigh-Shell Shocked Veterans]]. About 90% of the unnamed characters are RedShirts or nameless titans. Subjects depicted involve sexual slavery, child soldiers, cultists, corrupt police, [[CastingCouch casting couches,]] corrupt government officials, and huge conspiracies, all of which are ''very'' seinen in their approach. It's also known for showing that WarIsHell in every sense imaginable, and that there's no such thing as a HeroicSacrifice, brutally deconstructing that very trope. However, the characters are rather idealistic, most of them are either teens or children, and they seem to run on sheer determination most of the time. Plus, the manga was serialized in ''Bessatsu Shonen Magazine'', so it's a moot point.
1049* ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' focuses on a group of high school girls and their everyday lives, much like the very similar ''Manga/LuckyStar'', but the manga ran in the shonen magazine ''Dengeki Daioh''. However, much of the series' fanbase is composed of 18-40 year old males, like both ''Lucky Star'' and ''Yotsuba&!'', as well as the entire genre that [[TropeCodifier it helped popularize]]: the SchoolgirlSeries.
1050* ''Literature/{{Baccano}}'': While the original source material was targeted to a somewhat younger demographic like most other LightNovels and the first manga adaptation ran in a shonen magazine, the anime adaptation is ''[[{{Gorn}} very]]'' graphic in its violence and aired on a satellite channel (WOWOW) best known for airing seinen and shows with adult themes and content. The second manga adaptation, however, did run in a seinen magazine.
1051* ''Manga/BananaFish'' is sometimes mistaken for seinen by newcomers to the series since it's an action/crime thriller that focuses on gang violence in New York City. It's actually shoujo, since the manga originally ran in ''Bessatsu Shoujo Comic'' (now known as ''Betsucomi''). The homoromantic relationship between the two male leads is a tip-off in that regard, though its gritty action has also [[PeripheryDemographic drawn in male fans]].
1052* '' Manga/BarefootGen'', a semi-autobiographical manga famous for its harrowing depiction of the nuclear attack on Hiroshima, originally ran in ''Magazine/ShonenJump''.
1053* ''Manga/Bastard1988'': Despite its violence and sex jokes, it was published in Magazine/ShonenJump. Late moved to Ultra Jump.
1054* ''Manga/{{Beastars}}'': A MatureAnimalStory with extremely dark themes, violence and sexual content, run in Weekly Shonen Champion.
1055* ''Manga/{{BECK|1999}}'' has many realistic aspects found in seinen, but it ran in Monthly Shonen Magazine.
1056* ''Manga/Change123'' features a lot of mature content like nudity, extreme violence, and lots of {{Fanservice}}, but runs in runs in the shonen ''Champion RED'' magazine.
1057* ''Manga/{{Claymore}}'': Despite its dark tone, violent content, and superficial resemblance to ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'', it ran in ''Magazine/ShonenJump''. Viz localized it in English under their ''Shonen Jump Advanced'' imprint, targeted at older teens.
1058* ''Anime/CrossAnge'': Despite being very violent and [[{{Ecchi}} lewd]], the show is considered a shonen, with the manga being published by Kadokawa Shoten. In addition the cast of characters are all teenagers and while it starts of cynical it eventually gets more optimistic.
1059* ''Manga/DeadmanWonderland'' has a dark storyline, some glaring {{gorn}}, and puts many a characters through a TraumaCongaLine, yet it ran in a shonen magazine.
1060* ''Manga/DeathNote'': Due to being a [[SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism largely cynical]] crime story with a VillainProtagonist and WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids, it just has MultipleDemographicAppeal. That said, Light Yagami himself is considered a typical shonen hero, albeit a heavily [[DeconstructedCharacterArchetype deconstructed]] and realistic one. Despite all this, the manga ran in ''Weekly Shonen Jump''. The creators have also said that if the manga were to run in a seinen publication, they would have focused more on the effects of the Death Note on the world and on the question of whether TheExtremistWasRight, rather than on the cat-and-mouse game between Light, L, and Near.
1061** Sorta brought up in ''Manga/{{Bakuman}}'', a manga written by the same author. Most of the main mangaka characters in ''Bakuman'' seem to support the idea of running seinen-like stories in shonen magazines.
1062* ''Franchise/{{Devilman}}'' and its first sequel ''Manga/ViolenceJack'', made by Creator/GoNagai. Both series contains gorn and nudity and it ran in ''Weekly Shonen Champion''. However, ''Violence Jack'' moved to a different magazine after complaints of its ''very'' graphic violence. Other sequels, remakes, and re-imaginings are also Seinen.
1063* ''Manga/FirePunch'' is a deeply cynical, post-apocalyptic work that touches on cannibalism, pedophilia, body mutilation, slavery and religious fanaticism that ran on Shonen Jump's Jump+ website.
1064* ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'' is sometimes assumed to be seinen due to its violent content and mostly adult cast, but it ran in ''Weekly Shonen Jump''. However, its spinoffs ''Manga/FistOfTheBlueSky'', ''Jibo no Hoshi'', and ''Hōkō no Kumo'', among others are genuine seinen.
1065* ''Manga/FrankenFran'': Another horror manga that ran in a shonen magazine, despite having a lot of elements that appear seinen.
1066* ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' contains a more complex plot and is less focused on fight scenes than typical shonen, and as such is occasionally mistaken for a seinen series; it also has noticeably few teenage characters aside from the protagonists, with the cast mostly being made up of adults in the military. However, it ran in a shonen magazine and, at its core, still embodies most of the typical shonen elements.
1067* ''Manga/FutureDiary'': Violent, horrific and containing adult themes and situations, but the manga was serialized in ''Shonen Ace''. Its spin-off, ''Future Diary: Paradox'', is seinen.
1068* '' Manga/GreatTeacherOnizuka'' (and perhaps anything else shonen by Creator/TohruFujisawa) due to its mature and realistic themes. ''GTO: Paradise Lost'', however, is seinen, published in ''Weekly Young Magazine''.
1069* '' Manga/GunslingerGirl'' is a violent series with a dark, realistic tone, themes of child abuse and terrorism, and bearing a superficial resemblance to ''Manga/BlackLagoon''... that runs in a shonen magazine.
1070* ''Literature/{{Higehiro}}'': Despite having serious themes around consent, prostitution, and abusive parents, the manga adaptation was published in ''Shonen Ace Plus''.
1071* ''Manga/InterspeciesReviewers'', despite being a SexComedy focused on CuteMonsterGirl brothels, is published in the shonen magazine ''Dragon Dragon Age''. That said, the manga never actually shows anyone having sex despite the premise revolving around it, unlike the much HotterAndSexier anime adaptation.
1072* ''Manga/InuYasha'': Despite having plenty of violence and fanservice, it ran in ''Shonen Sunday''.
1073* ''Manga/KerberosPanzerCop'': While ''Franchise/KerberosSaga'' is renowned for being a cynical adult political drama, the first manga adaptation in the franchise ran on ''Shonen Ace'' magazine and [[ActionizedAdaptation has much more action than other entries in the series]] to better fit the target demographic. Its sequel, ''Kerberos Saga Rainy Dogs'', as well as the only animated film in the series, ''Anime/JinRohTheWolfBrigade'' are straight up seinen works though.
1074* '' Manga/LuckyStar'': Like ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'', it focuses on a cast of adorable schoolgirls, but the manga runs in the shonen magazines ''Comptiq'' and later ''Mitaina!''. The anime ran [[OtakuOClock rather late at night]], though.
1075* Despite its adult protagonist being an attractive women in exposing clothes who kicks butt a lot, ''Anime/MichikoAndHatchin'' is a josei anime. It arguably shows in the familial bond between her and Hatchin but everything else makes it seem more seinen.
1076* ''Manga/MagicalGirlApocalypse'' has large amounts of blood and gore and it's involves a very dark theme of a ZombieApocalypse and psychopathic magical girls. This series actually ran in a shonen magazine, ''Bessatsu Shōnen Champion''.
1077** The author's other work, ''Manga/MagicalGirlSite'' is no stranger to this, as the manga features some very controversial themes (such bullying, rape, suicide, and transgender issues) that would normally be seen in a seinen series, but it actually ran in a shonen magazine, ''Weekly Shōnen Champion''.
1078* ''Manga/MagicalTarurutoKun'': The manga was created by ''Golden Boy'' creator Tatsuya Egawa, who's output before and since both series has mostly consisted of seinen series. Despite its lewd and FanService-filled nature (specifically uncensored nudity and breastfeeding) early on and the fact that its English publisher lists the series as a seinen manga, not to mention its title character looking like something ripped out of a {{Kodomomuke}} series, it ran in ''Weekly Shonen Jump''.
1079* ''Manga/MyHime'' and ''Manga/MyOtome'' both ran in ''Shonen Champion''.
1080* ''Manga/MermaidSaga'': Despite having ''tons'' of {{Gorn}}, FamilyUnfriendlyViolence, and NightmareFuel, it ran in ''Shonen Sunday'' like most of Creator/RumikoTakahashi's other works.
1081* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', due to its [[CerebusSyndrome increasingly adult tone]] and [[FamilyUnfriendlyViolence graphic content]], is typically associated with the seinen demographic, but originally it ran during a 6pm timeslot on Wednesdays and was by the creators' own admission intended for youth audiences. If that seems hard to swallow, don't worry - Japanese parents, sponsors, and media watchdogs [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids felt the same way]]; the series is probably the single largest reason for the OtakuOClock trope. It pulled very strong ratings during both its initial airing, and a late-night rerun on a satellite channel.
1082* ''Read Or Die: Rehabilitation'': Despite ''Anime/ReadOrDie'' and ''Read or Dream'' being Seinen, ''Read or Die: Rehabilitation'' (which runs on a shonen magazine) is even more risque than the latter two, complete with the main character who's literally the opposite to the original main character in virtually every way.
1083* ''Manga/RedEyes'' is chock full of FamilyUnfriendlyViolence, the setting is all about war with many, ''many'' cases of InfoDump and AllThereInTheManual which is huge set off for younger readers or the general public who just don't like to read too much into the story to understand what's going on; the art is very realistic, no cases of GenericCuteness and {{Fanservice}} to be seen here. All in all this series just screams it was made for mature readers, and yet it runs in a Shounen magazine.
1084* '' Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'' Season 2 at least after a few chapters. Despite gratuitous fanservice and increasingly dark plot elements, it ran in a shonen magazine.
1085* '' Manga/RurouniKenshin'' is darker and more violent than most ''Magazine/ShonenJump'' series, but still unmistakably shonen.
1086* '' Manga/{{Shigurui}}'', a violent, horrific story containing exclusively adult themes and situations. It ran on Champion RED.
1087* ''Manga/ASilentVoice'', an extremely serious drama that deals heavily with bullying and ableism [[spoiler:and later outright suicide]], ran in Weekly Shonen Magazine.
1088* ''Manga/{{Tomie}}'' is often mistaken for seinen due to its themes and disturbing content, but it was actually originally published in a {{Shojo}} anthology. In fact, quite a few of Creator/JunjiIto's works were first published in shojo or {{josei}} horror anthologies.
1089* ''Literature/TrinityBlood'''s manga adaptation, despite seemingly having the themes of most Seinen manga, complete with [[{{Gorn}} graphic violence]], {{Fanservice}} and adult themes, actually ran in ''Monthly Asuka'', a magazine aimed at teenage girls.
1090* ''Literature/WelcomeToTheNHK'' is a wretched take on concepts of being a {{hikkikomori}} and an {{otaku}}, and most of the characters experience intense feelings of depression and loneliness. The original novel and manga adaptation ran in a {{Shonen}} magazine, and while it's hard to indicate where the anime adaptation should be placed, it derived from ''two'' {{Shonen}} works so it can't be seen as any different.
1091* Both iterations of ''Franchise/WhenTheyCry''. Their manga adaptations have consistently run in Square Enix's shounen "Gangan" magazines.
1092* ''Manga/WorldsEndHarem'' is about the entire male populace dying, save the protagonist and four other men, with the remaining women urging them to impregnate them by thousands, even enforcing that artificial insemination doesn’t work so they are forced to do the nasty, nasty; the women wear varying levels of fetishistic clothing and they all have top model looks, bare breasts are seen a lot. Everything is drawn by a famous hentai artist to boot. The series runs in an online offshoot of Shonen Jump; however, some of the {{spinoff}}s such as ''Manga/WorldsEndHaremFantasia'' are, in fact, seinen.

1096* ''Manga/{{X 1999}}'', which a series made by Creator/{{CLAMP}} set JustBeforeTheEnd, with many characters fighting in incredibly brutal, gruesome fashion. It actually ran in Shojo magazine, ''Monthly Asuka''.
1097* ''Yomeiro Choice'', only the first few chapters were genuine {{Seinen}} as it was published in a fitting magazine, but the majority of the series (basically 5/6 of it) ran in a {{Shounen}} magazine till the very end, and yet the contents shown in the first chapters ''didn't change at all'', actually it got ''more'' risque as it went along, stuff like extreme nudity, sexual innuendos, strong content abound.
1098* ''Manga/{{Yotsuba}}'': Despite its focus on an adorable little girl and her everyday misadventures, it runs in a shounen mangazine.
