I'm new to Scribble Hub and I cannot understand some genres, especially those which are not english in title.
Example:
Actually, among the non-English genres, the only thing I understand is Ecchi.
- Seinen
- Isekai
- Josei
What he said.
- Seinen: Stories marketed towards young adult males
- Isekai: is a subgenre of Japanese light novels, manga, anime, and video games, revolving around a normal person from Earth being transported to, reborn in, or trapped in a parallel universe (usually a fantasy world)
- Josei: Stories marketed towards young adult females.
To expound on this:
- Seinen: Stories marketed towards young adult males
- Isekai: is a subgenre of Japanese light novels, manga, anime, and video games, revolving around a normal person from Earth being transported to, reborn in, or trapped in a parallel universe (usually a fantasy world)
- Josei: Stories marketed towards young adult females.

To expound on this:
Just in case you come across them.
- Shounen: Stories marketed towards teenage boys
- Shoujo: Stories marketed towards young teenage girls
- Shounen-ai: Boys love
- Yaoi: Smutty boys love
- Shoujo-ai: Girls Love
- Yuri: Smutty girls love
Somewhat. Like Josei and Shoujo are catered to females but the content is different. Josei tends to be more mature. Typically a story, usually romance, between adults. Also, usually office romance.Thank you!
So:
▪ Josei & Shoujo are the same thing?
▪ Seinen & Shounen are the same thing?

Just in case you come across them.
- Shounen: Stories marketed towards teenage boys
- Shoujo: Stories marketed towards young teenage girls
- Shounen-ai: Boys love
- Yaoi: Smutty boys love
- Shoujo-ai: Girls Love
- Yuri: Smutty girls love
That's a trivia to me. I used to think that shounen-ai ang shoujo-ai where lighter version of yaoi and Yuri.I want to add that people don't always mean smutty Boys' Love or Girls' Love when they say "yaoi" or "yuri" - it can be just another catch-all way of referring to BL and GL. The use of the shounen-ai and shoujo-ai distinction is going out of fashion.
Yuri and yaoi was never split this way in Japan to begin with. There, shounen-ai and shoujo-ai refers to paedophilia.
