Many of these genres apply equally well to anime (which very often includes adaptations of manga) and Japanese computer games (some of which are also adaptations of manga).


By target audience

Kodomo (children)

Seinen (men)

Shōjo (young and teenage girls)
 
Shōnen (young and teenage boys)


Genres

Alternative (See also: Garo)

Gekiga (dramatic pictures)

La nouvelle manga (Franco-Belgian/Japanese artistic movement)

Semi-alternative (popular publication individualistic style)

Battling companion (not an official name)

Dōjinshi Fan-art or self-published manga

Magical girl (mahō shōjo)

Mecha (giant robots)

Moé (also mahō kanojo or magical girlfriend)

Shōjo-ai (or Yuri, lesbian romance)

Shōnen-ai (or Yaoi, gay romance)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gulanzon:
Shoujou-ai (both log, as I recall - not Shoujo) doesn't necessarily have to contain what my friend refers to as "the x-rated goodness"... but Yuri does.

Same with Shounen-ai/Yaoi.

FallinG_StaR:
Tell that to Wikipedia if you see anything wrong... and it didn't say anything about any X-rated material...

Gulanzon:
Actually, I'm quoting Wikipedia.

I remember another article saying to maked sure to draw a distinction between Shoujou-ai and Yuri.

Yuri is lesbian hentai.

Shoujou-ai is female lovers.

For example... Nepune/Uranus = Shoujou-ai. It isn't yuri.

I'd kill myself it it were yuri <.<
