The term shōnen, shonen, or shounen manga (少年漫画, shōnen manga?) refers to manga marketed to a male audience aged roughly 10 and up. The Kanji characters (少年) literally mean "few" and "year", respectively, where the characters (漫画) generally mean "comic". The complete phrase literally means "young person's comic" or simply "boys comic". Examples include Astro Boy, One Piece, Rurouni Kenshin, Saint Seiya, Dragon Ball, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Fighting Spirit, Detective Conan, YuYu Hakusho, InuYasha, Hunter × Hunter, Naruto, Bleach, Soul Eater, The Prince of Tennis, Slam Dunk, Fairy Tail, Reborn!, Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle, Fist of the North Star, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Fullmetal Alchemist, Black Butler, and D.Gray-man.
Shōnen (少年) manga (漫画) is typically characterized by high-action, often humorous plots featuring male protagonists. The camaraderie between boys or men on sports teams, fighting squads and the like is often emphasized. Attractive female characters like Bulma from Dragon Ball Z or Nami from One Piece, with exaggerated features are also common (see fan service). Note that none of these listed characteristics are a requirement, as seen in shōnen manga like Yotsuba&!, which features a female lead, and almost no fan service or action, and that what most defines whether or not a series is shōnen are things like the magazine (see Weekly Shōnen Jump) it is serialized in or the time slot it airs on T.V. After the case of Tsutomu Miyazaki, depictions of violence and sexual matters became more highly regulated in manga in general, but especially in shōnen manga. The art style of shōnen is generally less flowery than that of shōjo manga, although this varies greatly from artist to artist, and some artists draw both shōnen and shōjo manga.
