| 4 | Shōnen is a [[UsefulNotes/MangaDemographics demographic]] term for {{manga}} and {{anime}} aimed mainly at early to late teen boys. Basically, between ages 12 and 18. They tend to be FightingSeries focused more on action than relationships, with romance generally either [[TokenRomance perfunctory]] or PlayedForLaughs. Some battles can be [[MundaneMadeAwesome sublimated into a form such as a]] [[SeriousBusiness sports competition or even a]] TabletopGame. |
| 5 | |
| 6 | While there was a time where protagonists could be adult men the target audience would look up to, it's more common for the title character, and most of the cast, to be predominantly teenage or young adult male, equally capable of action and [[LargeHam ham.]] [[WorldOfHam Lots and lots of ham.]] This mainly serves to make the characters relatable to the targeted readers. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | Note that while the term "shōnen" tends to be used to refer to a few standard genres, and many shonen works tend to have several tropes in common, it isn’t technically a genre as it actually refers to the target demographic (and in Japan, generally refers strictly to manga, rather than anime[[note]]{{Light Novel}}s are often marked with a generic "male" or "female" demographic.[[/note]]). Its more mature counterpart is {{seinen}}, although both are enjoyed by [[PeripheryDemographic other audiences as well]]. The DistaffCounterpart to shōnen is called [[ShoujoDemographic shōjo]]. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | There is no definite marker for a series being or not being shōnen. Though the magazine it runs in is a good indicator, many shōnen magazines aim for the huge {{seinen}} PeripheryDemographic that also purchases them. Some of this is a natural result of the franchise GrowingTheBeard together with the audience: many series that are popular with the seinen demographic (and marketed towards such in omnibus tankoubon volumes) have run in Shōnen magazines when they were serialized. Some long running series will "graduate" to a magazine for an older demographic to follow its aging audience. While the same can't usually be said of series with a strong shōjo and {{josei}} periphery, some authors throw a bone their way by writing exclusive installments for magazines of those demographics. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | Themes are not a definite indicator either: while most Shōnen works (particularly the [[FightingSeries action fighter types]]) tend to fall in the [[TheIdealist idealist side]] on the [[SlidingScaleofIdealismVersusCynicism scale of idealism vs. cynicism]], there are also plenty of works with DarkerAndEdgier elements and outright {{Deconstruction}}s that can easily be mistaken for a {{seinen}} series and evoke a WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids reaction (''Manga/DeathNote'', ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'', ''Manga/HunterXHunter'' and ''Manga/ChainsawMan'' are some of the notable examples). That being said, light and fluffy/dark and moody romance, serious female-led dramas, and cute art styles aren't limited to shōjo manga either, as stories like ''Manga/TeasingMasterTakagiSan'', ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'', and ''Manga/ActAge'' can attest. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | Due to ValuesDissonance, many shōnen series feature [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids content that most Westerners would not consider appropriate for younger teenagers]], such as [[FamilyUnfriendlyViolence frequent gory violence]] and scenes of titillating {{fanservice}} which may include nudity (many works labeled {{Ecchi}} run in shōnen magazines). As such, they are often [[AudienceShift marketed towards adult fans in the West]], sometimes leading localizers to [[SpiceUpTheSubtitles insert more adult language into the translated version]]. One of the most illustrative examples of this is ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'': a highly idealistic HotBlooded, bright and cartoonish SuperRobot series that aired as the equivalent of a SaturdayMorningCartoon in Japan, but debuted on Adult Swim in the US. In fact, most of Creator/AdultSwim[='s=] anime lineup consists of shōnen series. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Shōnen series were the first to be brought over ''en masse'' to the Western world, and as such, makes up much of the popular American perception of anime. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | This is because it is, perhaps, the genre most similar to heavily actionized, RatedMForManly WesternAnimation shows of TheEighties, also largely geared towards teenage males with swaths of MultipleDemographicAppeal. (Pure shōjo bounces between the realms of [[SweetnessAversion cutesy]] and too [[{{Melodrama}} melodramatically]] [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids scandalous]] for most {{Media Watchdog}}s, so it does not get shown in the West as much.) |
| 19 | |
| 20 | If you want to write a shōnen series, [[SoYouWantTo/WriteAShonenSeries here's a good place to start.]] If you want to see the Chinese grandfather of most shōnen, see {{Wuxia}} and its more spiritual counterpart in SpiritCultivationGenre or {{Xianxia}}. |

| 33 | |
| 34 | !!General Examples |
| 35 | * Many series with HumongousMecha. |
| 36 | * Sometimes, adaptations of stories with MultipleDemographicAppeal will create two versions of the story, one shōnen and one shōjo. For example, ''Anime/TheVisionOfEscaflowne'' had a shōnen-version manga produced of its story, while ''Manga/MagicKnightRayearth'''s {{OAV}}s have a similar bent as compared to the original series. |
| 37 | * All the titles featured in the ''Weekly Shōnen Jump'' (or simply ''Jump'') magazine, which [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin should be obvious]]. ''Shōnen Jump'' series are often considered to be their own subcategory of the shōnen demographic and have a kind of legacy with each other, enough that a {{crossover}} [[VideoGame/JumpSuperstars video game]] is a common thing to see every few years. |
| 38 | ** Although somewhat niche outside of its native Japan, ''{{Manga/Kinnikuman}}'' was the first series to experiment with the formula that would go on to be refined by later Jump Series, serving as the UrExample of what would come to be known as the "Shonen Battle" subgenre. |
| 39 | ** Also niche in the west, ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'' is a very important and influential title to Shōnen Manga, and is considered to be the work to start the "Golden Age" of Shōnen Jump, with all other subsequent FightingSeries building on what it established. |
| 40 | ** The ''Manga/DragonBall'' series is by far the quintessential Shōnen, and due to its age, length and influence provides examples of most of the classic tropes. Not to mention the fact that its popularity has more or less inspired most of the current shōnen manga of this day and age. |
| 41 | ** Of all the ongoing Shōnen series, ''Franchise/OnePiece'' is the most popular across the world, and has a cult following in the United States. It has drawn a great deal of inspiration from ''Manga/DragonBall'', but developed a ''very'' unique and compelling flavor of its own. |
| 42 | ** ''Franchise/{{Naruto}}'', another series inspired by ''Franchise/DragonBall'', which is possibly the most noteworthy manga in the west. |
| 43 | ** ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'', released in 1987, is one of ''Shōnen Jump'''s longest running shōnen series, having reached over ''100'' volumes in Japan. With its 7th part, "Steel Ball Run", it has switched magazines to ''Ultra Jump'' and thus officially "graduated" to {{seinen}}. It drew much inspiration from ''Fist of the North Star''. |

| 63 | * ''Manga/{{Barrage}}'' |
| 64 | * ''Manga/Bastard1988'' has a lot of violence and sexual content, but it did in fact spend most of its run in ''Weekly Shonen Jump'' despite this. It later moved to the {{seinen}} publication ''Ultra Jump'' in 2000. |
| 65 | * ''Manga/{{Beelzebub}}'' |
| 66 | * ''Manga/BeetTheVandelBuster'': Notably put on a ten-year hiatus due to one of its creators falling ill. |

| 73 | * ''Manga/BloodyRoar'' |
| 74 | * ''Manga/BlueBox'' |
| 75 | * ''Manga/BlueExorcist'' |
| 76 | * ''Manga/BlueFlag'': Often mistaken for [[YaoiGenre Boy's Love]] due to its gay themes, but the manga actually ran in ''Shōnen Jump+'' (and the plot really revolves more around a BisexualLoveTriangle). |
| 77 | * ''Manga/BoboboboBobobo'': A humorous and surreal parody of shōnen. |
| 78 | * ''Manga/BoneCollection'' |
| 79 | * ''Manga/BoysOverFlowers: Season 2'': Although its predecessor was a shōjo manga, this series runs in ''Shōnen Jump+''. |

| 83 | * ''Manga/CandyFlurry'' |
| 84 | * ''Manga/CaptainTsubasa'': Up until the ''Road to 2002'' saga, that is; then it moves into {{seinen}} territory. Makes sense, the readers are mostly adult males ([[PeripheryDemographic and some adult females]]) who grew reading it in ''Magazine/ShonenJump'. |
| 85 | * ''Manga/CatsEye'' |
| 86 | * ''Manga/{{Claymore}}'': Although it's sometimes thought to be seinen because of its dark themes as well as bearing a superficial resemblance to ''{{Manga/Berserk}}''. |
| 87 | * ''Manga/ChainedSoldier'' |
| 88 | * ''Manga/ChainsawMan'': Yet another series commonly mistaken for seinen due to its intense graphic violence and sexual content. |

| 99 | * ''Anime/DarlingInTheFranxx'': The manga adaptation drawn by Yabuki Kentarou is published online in ''Shōnen Jump+''. |
| 100 | * ''Manga/DeathNote'': Although even plenty of anime fans still mistake it for seinen, mostly because Light is an adult for most of the series and there's the WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids factor. Played with in the ''{{Manga/Bakuman}}'' series (by the same creators), in which several characters support seinen-type stories running in Shōnen magazines. |
| 101 | * ''Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba'': a noteworthy series from TheNewTens with a highly successful anime series and a record breaking [[TheMovie movie]]. |
| 102 | * ''Manga/DestinyLovers'' |

| 730 | * ''Manga/MonsterSoul'' |
| 731 | * ''Manga/MonthlyGirlsNozakiKun'': Often mistaken for shōjo due to its romantic themes and being an AffectionateParody of shōjo manga and how it's made, but it is serialized in the online shōnen magazine ''[=GanGan=] Online''. However, it has enough MultipleDemographicAppeal to be reprinted in shōjo anthologies. |

| 757 | * ''Manga/NekoDeGomen'' |
| 758 | * ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'': Often mistaken as pure seinen, but most of its manga adaptions as well as the anime are either shōnen or shōjo. The [[Manga/NeonGenesisEvangelion manga adaptation]] eventually switched its run to ''Young Ace'', a seinen magazine, while ''Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion'' was primarily marketed towards adults from the get-go due to the original show's reputation (if still unclear whether the movies are shōnen as well or actual seinen). |
| 759 | ** ''Manga/ShinjiIkariRaisingProject'' |
| 760 | * ''Manga/{{Nichijou}}'' |

| 780 | * ''Manga/{{Outlanders}}'' |
| 781 | * ''Anime/{{Overtake}}'' |
| 782 | * ''Manga/PandoraHearts'': Like many series published in ''[=GFantasy=]'', it has a MultipleDemographicAppeal and blends shounen and shōjo tropes with more mature storytelling. |

| 789 | * ''Manga/PitaTen'' |
| 790 | * ''Manga/{{Plunderer}}'' |
| 791 | * Examples from ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'': |
| 792 | ** ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'', which, along with ''Dragon Ball Z'', helped to popularize the genre in the West. Thought it’s technically not a shounen franchise. While most of the series is halfway between this and {{kodomomuke}} (with the Kalos seasons most closely resembling other shōnen anime in terms of characters and plot), ''Origins'' and the Mega Evolution Special episodes are solidly shounen (in terms of characters and plot). |
| 793 | ** ''Anime/PokemonOrigins'' |
| 794 | ** ''WebAnimation/PokemonGenerations'' |
| 795 | ** ''WebAnimation/PokemonEvolutions'' |

| 806 | * ''Manga/PopcornAvatar'' |
| 807 | * ''Manga/PrecariousWomanExecutiveMissBlackGeneral'' |
| 808 | * ''Literature/PrettyBoyDetectiveClub'': The manga adaptation began serialization in the shoujo magazine ''Aria'' but later moved to ''Shonen Magazine Edge'' after the former ceased publication, making it both shonen ''and'' shoujo. |
| 809 | * ''Manga/PrincessLucia'' |
| 810 | * ''Anime/PrincessMononoke'': Despite the extreme violence and gore (at least, for a PG-13 rating), the film was made by Creator/HayaoMiyazaki with fifth-graders as the target demographic, and the film is considered appropriate for all ages in Japan. |
| 811 | * ''Manga/PrincessResurrection'' |

| 841 | * ''Manga/{{Rough}}'' |
| 842 | * ''Manga/TheRoyalTutor'': Often mistaken for shoujo due to the art style and its CastFullOfPrettyBoys, but it ran in the shonen magazine ''Monthly G Fantasy''; however, ''G Fantasy'' does have a high female readership and thrives on BishonenJumpSyndrome. |
| 843 | * ''Literature/RuneSoldierLouie'': The manga adaptation ran in ''Monthly Dragon Junior''. |

| 915 | * ''Manga/{{Spiral}}'' |
| 916 | * ''Franchise/{{Splatoon}}'': The franchise mainly consists of video games that provide a cartoony, urban take on the ThirdPersonShooter, mainly aimed at tweens and teenagers. |
| 917 | ** ''VideoGame/Splatoon1'' |
| 918 | ** ''VideoGame/Splatoon2'' |
| 919 | ** ''VideoGame/Splatoon3'' |

| 925 | * ''Manga/SteelAngelKurumi'' |
| 926 | * ''Manga/StitchAndTheSamurai'': A spin-off of ''Franchise/LiloAndStitch'' set in Sengoku-era Japan. It has a lot of cute moments for a manga targeted towards this demographic, though, but that's to be expected when you have Disney's cute and fluffy blue mischief-making alien involved. |
| 927 | * ''Manga/StoryOfADumbPrefectAndHighSchoolGirlWithInappropriateSkirtLength'': One would be forgiven for mistaking this for shoujo -- it's a romantic comedy told from the girl's perspective, and does ''not'' end after the two leads get together. However, it's published in ''Shonen Sirius'' magazine. |
| 928 | * ''Manga/StrawberryMarshmallow'' |

| 975 | * ''Manga/ToTheAbandonedSacredBeasts'' |
| 976 | * The prose parts of the ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' series: |
| 977 | ** ''Manga/TouhouSangetsusei'' blurs the line between this and shōjo. |
| 978 | ** ''Manga/TouhouBougetsushou'' (all three parts) |

| 982 | ** ''Manga/TouhouSuichoukaLotusEaterTachiNoSuisei'' |

| 1015 | * ''Webcomic/ViralHit'' |

| 1029 | * ''Manga/TheWorldGodOnlyKnows'' |
| 1030 | * ''Manga/TheWorldOfNarue'' |
| 1031 | * ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles'': While the franchise is entirely video game-based, the creators have explicitly stated shōnen anime and manga as one of its inspirations, often citing teenagers in the same age range as the protagonists as a target demographic, and all the games in the series feature characters, tropes, and content ratings typical of most shōnen media. |

| 1041 | * ''Manga/YankeeJKKuzuHanaChan'' |
| 1042 | * ''Manga/YokaiRentalShop'' |
| 1043 | * ''Manga/{{Yotsuba}}'': Like ''Azumanga Daioh'', its [[{{Iyashikei}} feel-good nature]] often causes people to think the series is shōjo or seinen, but it is serialized in the shōnen-aimed ''Dengeki Daioh''. That being said, the series has such wide MultipleDemographicAppeal that calling it "shōnen" is more of a technicality than anything. |

| 1056 | !Commonly Mistaken for Shōnen: |
| 1057 | * ''Anime/AldnoahZero'': All the manga adaptations are {{seinen}}, despite being a mecha series with teenage protagonists. |
| 1058 | * ''Manga/{{Bokurano}}'': Seems to be a normal shōnen HumongousMecha series, but is actually a seinen GenreDeconstruction of such series. |
| 1059 | * ''Anime/DenNohCoil'' sometimes gets mistaken for shōnen because of its emphasis on high-tech action scenes, but the manga adaptation ran in a shōjo magazine. |
| 1060 | * ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'': As with ''Pokémon'', is often believed to be shōnen, but most of the franchise is {{kodomomuke}}. In spite of its dark content, ''Anime/DigimonTamers'' is still aimed at the same demographic as the rest of the series. On the other hand, ''Anime/DigimonAdventureTri'' and ''Anime/DigimonAdventureLastEvolutionKizuna'' is aimed at adult fans who grew up with the original. |
| 1061 | * ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' adaptations are occasionally mistaken as shōnen due to heavy emphasis on fighting and a protagonist heavily remeniscent of [[StockShonenHero stereotypical shōnen heroes]] (albeit a ''heavy'' deconstruction of such characters), though the series is adapted from a +18 HGame. Notably, the manga adaptations ''did'' run in shōnen magazines. |
| 1062 | * ''Music/HypnosisMic'': Aimed at a general female audience despite the heavy emphasis on gangs. Two of its 3 manga adaptations run in shōnen magazines despite this. |
| 1063 | * ''Manga/MyLoveStory'': Often mistaken for being a shōjo-themed shōnen a la ''Manga/MonthlyGirlsNozakiKun'' due to its humor and {{Gonk}} male protagonist, but it was serialized in a shōjo magazine. |
| 1064 | * ''Webcomic/OnePunchMan'': A Superhero parody that [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructs many typical Shōnen tropes]]. The manga remake actually runs in ''Young Jump Web Comics'', a {{seinen}} magazine. It does run in the English-language ''Shōnen Jump'' despite this. |
| 1065 | * ''Manga/PlaceToPlace'': A comedic {{yonkoma}}, that's {{seinen}}. |
| 1066 | * ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'': As detailed above, most of the franchise--the anime included-- is actually {{kodomomuke}}. Some of the manga series are shōnen, however, with ''Manga/PokemonReBurst'' being the most prominent example. |
| 1067 | * ''Anime/PrettyCure'': Sharing of well-known FightingSeries animators and the abundance of surprisingly violent MagicalGirlWarrior stories aside, it's a shōjo franchise, and all of its manga adaptations run in the shoujo magazine ''Magazine/{{Nakayoshi}}''. It does also aim for the seinen crowd, however. |
| 1068 | * ''Manga/{{Sabagebu}}'': Its BloodyHilarious humor and stylized {{Moe}} aesthetic point to being a shōnen BishoujoSeries, but it ran in the shōjo ''Magazine/{{Nakayoshi}}''. |
| 1069 | * ''Manga/{{Servamp}}'': Runs in the Josei magazine ''Comic Gene'' but is often mistaken for both shōnen ''and'' shōjo due to its CastFullOfPrettyBoys and FightingSeries roots. |
| 1070 | * ''Anime/TigerAndBunny'': A {{superhero}} action anime, though its protagonists are adults and the manga adaptation runs in the seinen publication ''Newtype Ace''. |
| 1071 | * ''Manga/TokyoGhoul'': Seinen, but easily confused with similiarly violent shōnen series like ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' and others. |
