What’s the BEST Seinen manga out there?

>>282172347 (OP)
Saki

>>282172347 (OP)
No fucking idea about lower left,
But since when dress up darling is a seinen, OP....

Your picture is garbage and I hope am the last reply

>>282172574
Since it ran in a seinen magazine

>>282172669
That doesn't mean anything, HxH runs on a shounen mag and it's a seinen

K-On!

>>282172711
That is not how it works. Seinen is not a genre, it's a demographic. That's why K-On and Berserk are both seinen manga.

>>282172883
This is why seinen is the best of the four demographics. So much variety

>>282172347 (OP)
Rate my taste

One Piece
You know it's true.

>>282173616
GTO’s a shonen technically but I like your taste 9/10

>>282174993
Shit you're right!
It really doesn't look like one

>>282172347 (OP)
You're welcome

>>282172711
Why are hunterfags like this?

>>282175342
Baby's first "DEEP" manga.

Dungeon Meshi is Seinen.

>>282172347 (OP)
The NTR one.

>>282173152
a lot of older shoujo and josei authors had to basically adapt their stories to seinen mag standards to get a wider audience too, and as a result, shoujo and josei mags are now almost exclusively trashy wish fulfillment romance in modern or period type setting.

>shoujo and josei mags are now almost exclusively trashy wish fulfillment romance in modern or period type setting
Wasn't that always the case?

>>282176010
was a significant majority of them always like that? sure, but it wasn't almost exclusively that kind of story. there were many action fantasy shoujo, sci fi shoujo, plenty of magical girl shoujo, historical political shoujo, various other mech and battle shoujo, lots and lots of interesting isekai shoujo, and similarly plenty of more complex josei stories and series. They all had the common love interest element present in them of course.

>>282172347 (OP)
For me it's Touge Oni.

>>282172347 (OP)
>>282176413
Or TWIM

>>282172347 (OP)

Is this really the best seinen has to offer?

10/10, there’s a lot of good romance seinen to choose from
>>282176434
I’ve never read this manga. This image is oddly unsettling

>>282176274
I doubt that Josei has changed much, it's always been the smallest and least lucrative demographic.
It does feel like the game has changed for shoujo manga, but it's hard to tease that apart from the game changing for shounen and seinen as well. Female-centric manga are much more common across the board and although their tone is different in the male demographics, it's hard not to wonder what magazine a manga like Sukeban Deka would run in if it was made today.
Plus "trashy wish fulfillment" has permeated so much of everything it's hard to see that as a trend unique to shoujo or josei manga.

>>282177622
>This image is oddly unsettling
It does get spooky at times.

Fate Prisma Illya

>10/10, there’s a lot of good romance seinen to choose from
I actually haven't read a lot of them. It's my least favorite type of genre and my taste is very specific. Which one would you recommend?

>>282176459
Fucking unforgettable.

Wut?

It fits.

>>282172711
>>282175342
hunterfags still mad that they didn't make the cut to a mature seinen magazine unlike the real deep series like Re:Zero.

>>282172574
The line between Seinen and Shonen is awfully tin.

>>282177622
>I’ve never read this manga
Its jap mythology mixed with Lovecraft-like cosmic horror.

>>282178168
It’s one of my all time favorite manga, and it actually sticks the landing.

It is imposssible to have this discussion in normalfag polluted environment . Since they don't read the good manga and treat they "seinen" part as exotic tag devoided of it's meaning.
Not to mention they don't read anything that came out before 2010 but unironically read webtoon trash.

>>282184379
The World Is Mine is the GOAT

>>282172574
>>282180457
Seinen doesn’t need tons of blood and guts in order to be seinen
>>282177926
Kaguya-sama, Skip to Loafer, Ase to Sekken

>>282185153
>Kaguya-sama
Loved the first half, hated the second
>Skip to Loafer
Looks cute but sexless. I'm too old to commit to a long romance manga with no kisses or physical intimacy.
>Ase to Sekken
Yeah, it was on my top

Gunnm. James Cameron approved

>>282186243
Pretty good but it felt a bit overrated

>>282181999
Comic Alive is shonen though.
But people completely overinterpret those categories. The most relevant difference is whether something has furigana and even that's not absolute.

>>282188807
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monthly_Comic_Alive
wikipedia lists it and Big Gangan as seinen lol

>>282190086
English Wikipedia is useless when it comes to manga.
You may recall the afterword in Otome Kaiju Carameliser where Spica Aoi talks about making a shonen series before they told her to go full shojo.

>>282174302
Only if it gets a Admiral gaiden spinoff

AYYYYY dios mio, why people exists that that likes to lick the balls of this hack is beyond me.

>>282172574
Ya I always thought of it as a mild josei bordering on Shojo. The dude was the catch not the chick and he had bigger hands

Some pretty cool batshit insane fights

I don't think you know what that word means

>>282196343
>I dropped it
How far did you get? For as much as i love LO, i can understand why someone that liked the original wouldn't like LO.
>What did i miss
Expansion of the scope of the story. Whereas the OG manga is mostly about Scrap City and nearby areas. LO is about the entire solar system and how the world came to be and the current order at stake. Exploration of gally's past as she butts heads with Demigods in the kinoest Tournament arc in manga history. And Sechs being the greatest transexual to ever grace fiction.

>>282172347 (OP)
none of these

I liked Freesia.

What's even the definition of 'seinen'?

>>282203490
Magazines that aren't shonen, shojo or josei. It's as vague as it gets.

>>282172347 (OP)
why does manga about female children being serialized in seinen magazine?

>>282193510
he's the only writer that can write dialogue like real life
also pluto is written by tezuka not urasawa

>>282203490
Young men

>>282203514
no, seinen doesn't mean magazine

>>282203639
The history of Kirara goes as follows:
Houbunsha launched a weekly manga magazine, Weekly Manga TIMES, in 1956. In 1981 they launched a spinoff magazine for 4koma, Manga Time. In 2002, after seeing the success of school girl 4koma series like Azumanga Daioh, they launched a spinoff to Manga Time called Manga Time Kirara. This turned out successful so they launched Manga Time Kirara Carat in 2003 and Manga Time Kirara Max in 2004 where Gochiusa is running since 2011.
These magazines are typically read by adults and are not specificially aimed at women, therefore they're occasionally counted as seinen. Though you'll also see 4koma magazines as a separate category.

>>282185153
>adult manga
>it's about children
You and the retarded company that put Gochiusa in Seinen magazine should kill themselves.

>>282203681
青年 (not to be confused with 成年) refers to young males or young people but the manga term also includes series for older people so the literal meaning is pointless.
You've got a group of magazines with Young in the name that are sometimes grouped together as Young Manga.

>>282182908
The lines between seinen and shounen is called furiganas next to kanjis, explicit sex and uncensored tits.

>>282203746
>explicit sex and uncensored tits.
No. There's seinen with censored nudity and sex and shonen where it's uncensored.

>>282203713
Are you also going to complain about Crayon Shin-chan? At least the girls in Gochiusa are out of elementary school.

>>282203773
japan can be retarded, anon
for instance they put sexy 3D girls in a manga magazine

>>282172347 (OP)
This is the best Seinen

>>282203741
no, both 青年 and 成年 refer to age
the manga or magazine being called that way because it's aimed at that age
the company that put the story of children in adult magazine is clearly retarded, and you're defending japanese retardation

>>282203934
You're retarded and don't know Japanese nor Japanese culture. Shut the fuck up

>>282203707
I don't see anywhere the magazine calling itself seinen
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/まんがタイムきららMAX
sounds like they just pick any manga titles at random, not caring about the manga content being related to adulthood or not

>>282203945
here's some wikipedia articles written by actual japanese
>https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/青年>https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/成年
and yes both kanji mean age, not magazine

>>282203983
I fuck up the links

>>282203983
And did you not read them? Not seeing any difference?

>>282172347 (OP)
I'm gonna go with Hellsing

>>282172347 (OP)
>seinen, consists of sei + nen
>the word nen (年) literally means year/age
>retards still call it magazine and not age
guys, seek therapist

>>282203952
>読者対象 10代 - 20代男女[1]
mmm

>>282204043
青年 means youthful years, a period within the human development cycle.
Manga magazines use it as a demographic categorization.
It is most definitely not "age" by definition. You cannot define an age simply saying 青年 since it encompasses a very wide age range.
I suggest you keep your mouth shut on matters you know nothing about.

>>282203983
Try reading this
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/青年漫画

>>282203952
>sounds like they just pick any manga titles at random,
The Kirara line works by having artists appear as guests. They get to publish around three chapters and depending on how the readers react they get serialized or not.

>>282203934
Have you ever tried reading Comic LO? That's 成年向け but it's full of children below 15.

>>282203679
That's fujo tho

bump

>>282172347 (OP)
Hidamaro no Ki, by Tezuka
Theres others historical dramas as well, and even some food manga, they are all better than your borderline shonen
