Your fullretard is showing.

A dumb meme.

>What is a Hard Shonen and Soft Seinen?
memes

A hard shonen is Shinji Ikari in a room with a comatose teenager.

>berserk hard shounen
>hiatus x hiatus soft seinen
You must be so proud of your room temperature IQ

This.
All this shit is targeted at a demographic younger than you, user. Calling it a different name won't change that.

Thanks for the explanation user

Post soft shounen and hard seinen

Great, shonen is for 12 year olds, seinen is for 16.
Also "You will immediately cease and not continue to access the site if you are under the age of 18."
You dumb fuck.

If a seinen is published in a shounen magazine that means it's soft seinen most likely.

Redditor.

Define seinen for me

This image will trigger the deepfags user be careful.

This is also seinen. What's your point?

this is correct. though it's better that the lines between shonen and seinen are blurred rather than distinctive. works that take themselves too seriously and works that don't take themselves seriously enough usually fall on their face. i'd rather not give manga demographic labels at all.

A manga that features seinen tropes such as no supernatural abilities and set in the real world, and complex plots with an array of themes such as existential dread.

How the fuck is ed a self insert in anyway, I know this is b8 but I'm upset

What about fantasy manga aimed to adults?

There are none.

It's time for us to define Soft Seinen, the earliest definitions from the archives explicate Soft Seinen as: " A shounen manga that transcended it's shounen nature into seinen territory"

In where we recognize the "Seinen territory" as a place of experiment ability and the "shounen territory" as territory of the pedantic, one which confines itself to the formula of "success" of WSJ, that's is the standards that which manga must comply to be seriliazed on WSJ.

Soft Seinen is then not necessarily a breaking from those moods and standards, neither a desconstruction but rather a reconstruction over those molds and standards.

Thus we conclude that for a work to be considered Soft Seinen it needs to be:
1. Have it's framework composed of traditional WSJ elements
2. Spin them to their own accord and reshape the reader's view of that standard
3. Be experimental while still maintaining the reader interested

You are literally dumb as bricks

>ages 17+
>ages 13-17
There's no such thing as a "targeted audience"
There will always be kids who want to act mature and "above" their peers
There will always be adults who long for the simpler time of childhood.
Trying to lump a series into an age frame isn't how it works.
Like how the CoD and pokemon audiences are swapped demographics

>complex plots
Since when was this only limited to seinen? Also more often than not the most popular seinen are supernatural

>Like how the CoD and pokemon audiences are swapped demographics
I always knew shounenshitters were crossboarders.

People who can't tell the difference between soft seinen amd shounen are just bunch of illiterate pigs that enjoy kiddie stuff like Wan Piss. Their shoe size IQ cannot comprehend anything with a bit of deepness or complexity.

Seinen literally means none of that, not everything an adult consumes is deep and philosophical. And sometimes there are stories that Kids read that might be complex.

What if they enjoy Wan Piss but as a stupid fun stuff as its meant to be

They are morons with bad taste in anime and manga and don't know what a quality story is.

Anyone who enjoys Wan Piss after puberty are just someone that stuck in their childhood, literal manchild or just a low IQ retard.

So what is your guys' favorite (soft) seinen manga? Mine is Hidamari Sketch.

Soft seinen is a term made up by Hunterfags who couldn't cope with the fact that their favorite series is a shonen, published in a shonen magazine, next to other shonen series that they deem less mature or childish compared to theirs. That's all there is to it.

Hunter X Hunter is shounen in name only.

Kirara is a seinen magazine.

>quality story
>same arcs that was repeated many times, same types of characters appear and become irrelevant after several chapters, power system is wacky and stupid (just like Wan Piss) and it's way too long of a story about finding a treasure that's becoming repetitive.

Fuck off chainsawtard, nobody likes your garbage manga

Hey there pissbro enjoying your manga? Did Luffy do a funny face and the atatatata in this chapter?

This. There's nothing stopping shonen from exploring complex themes, or seinen from being juvenile. It's just insecurity.
