Types of Manga

Are you guy confused if what they were talking about shonen or shojo thing? Well, they are types of manga.
Manga is a Japanese word for comics.

So here are the types of manga ^^

Doujinshi 
-> fan-made manga made by fans.It is unofficial manga which is made by fans(fan-made) or self-published.

Gekiga
-> means dramatic pictures, it is more experimental or literary.

Hentai
-> means pervert in Japanese. It is a sexually hardcore manga for ADULTS.


Josei
-> derived from the English  "Lady comic". It aimed at adult women. (adult content)

Seinen
->same as Josei but except for men. (adult content)

Shoujo
-> (shoujo- literally means young girl while shojo-virgin). It aimed for young girls  up to the age 18. It is all about romance and relationship from a girls point of view.

Shonen
-> (shonen- literally means boy) it is just like shoujo but it is more on action, sports and romance for males up to 18.
 KK: It's the coolest type for me^^

Shoujo-ai/Yuri
-> (shou-ai literally means Girl love).(yuri is translated literally as Lily). About Girl Love or sometimes referred as GL.

Shonen-ai/Yaoi
-> shonen-ai is about boy romantic relationships.

Bleach !

Hiya bleach fans there... This one is for you :)







Written and illustrated by: Noriaki ''Tite" Kubo
Genre: Action
Demographic: Shonen


Ichigo Kurosaki is a teenager gifted with the ability to see spirits. His life is drastically changed by the sudden appearance of a Soul Reaper—one who governs the flow of souls between the human world and the afterlife—named Rukia Kuchiki, who arrives in search of a Hollow, a dangerous lost soul. When Rukia is severely wounded defending Ichigo from the Hollow, she attempts to transfer half of her reiatsu (霊圧?, literally, "spiritual pressure") energy to Ichigo so that he can defeat the Hollow. However, Ichigo takes almost all of her energy, transforming into a Soul Reaper and allowing him to defeat the Hollow with ease. With her powers diminished, Rukia is left stranded in the human world until she can recover her strength. In the meantime, Ichigo must take over Rukia's role as a Soul Reaper, battling Hollows and guiding souls to the afterlife realm known as the Soul Society (尸魂界 (ソウル·ソサエティ) Sōru Sosaeti?).
As time passes and Rukia has yet to return to the Soul Society, her Soul Reaper superiors learn about her whereabouts and actions and sentence her to death for performing the illegal act of transferring her powers. Although he is unable to stop Rukia's departure to the Soul Society, Ichigo resolves to rescue her with the aid of several of his spiritually aware classmates, Orihime InoueYasutora Sado, and Uryū Ishida, and the ex-Soul Reapers Yoruichi Shihōin and Kisuke Urahara. Once at the Soul Society, Ichigo and company battle against the elites of the Soul Reaper military and strive to reach Rukia before her execution.
It is revealed that Rukia's execution and Ichigo's rescue attempt both had been manipulated by a high-ranking Soul Reaper, Sōsuke Aizen, who was previously believed to have been murdered, as part of a far-reaching plot to take control of the Soul Society. Aizen betrays his fellow Soul Reapers and allies himself with the strongest of the Hollows, the Espadas. Aizen thus becomes the main antagonist of the series, and the Soul Reapers form an alliance with Ichigo. At this point, Bleach chronicles the war between the Soul Reapers, the Espadas, and Aizen. After each of the involved's eventual defeats, Ichigo undergoes intense training with his father Ishin who turns out to be a former Soul Reaper to become strong enough to battle Aizen alone. As Aizen is weakened, a spell that Urahara had previously hidden within him activates and seals him, thus ending the conflict and leaving the Soul Society to imprison him. As a result of using all of his Soul Reaper powers to defeat Aizen, Ichigo loses them and becomes an ordinary human once again.
Seventeen months later, a group consisting of gifted human individuals called "Xcution" emerges. They possess powers that are called "Fullbring" that allow them to draw out the soul that dwells in any substance, and they desire to be rid of these powers. To achieve this, they approach Ichigo and inform him that they want to restore his lost Soul Reaper powers so that they may transfer their powers onto him. Ichigo and his friends soon face a new enemy by the name of Shūkurō Tsukishima, the former leader of Xcution, whose goals are seemingly to stop Ichigo from regaining his lost Soul Reaper powers. And with the help of current Xcution leader Kūgo Ginjō, Ichigo is able to gain new powers in the form of Fullbring. Later on, it is discovered that Shūkurō Tsukishima has uses his own Fullbring to turn all of Ichigo's friends against him.Kūgo Ginjō's friends are also turned against him and Ichigo, filled with rage, goes to hunt down Shūkurō Tsukishima along with Kūgo Ginjō. It turns out that Kūgo Ginjō was really an enemy after all as he later on betrays Ichigo after Ishida arrives later on, naming Kūgo Ginjō as his attacker. Ginjō takes away his Fullbring powers. However at that moment Rukia stabs Ichigo with a Spiritual Sword made by Urahara. It is revealed by Renji that Yamamoto Genryusai had ordered all the captains and vice captains to restore Ichigo's Soul Reapers powers by putting their reiatsu into the sword that Rukia used to stab him. Hitsugaya revealed to Ichigo that there were two reasons why the Captain-Commander wanted to return Ichigo's powers; The first reason was that Ichigo saved Soul Society, and the second reason being that long before Ichigo was substitute, Kūgo Ginjō was given a Substitute Soul Reaper badge, then gave up his position before disappearing.
