Probably any major changes in the way the artist draws a manga counts as A Change in Art Style. It doesn't have to be sudden, it can also be a gradual transition from one style to another, which applies to long-running series in particular. Just compare the artwork in the first chapter to the one in the last chapter (i.e. Beck or Katekyou Hitman Reborn!).

Breaking the Fourth Wall
That is when the characters themselves are aware that they are in a manga or something and interacts either directly or indirectly with the reader.
A common example would be Gintama where they always make use of the dialogue box as something that exist within the world itself and often speak about how the reader thinks about the situation.

What's the difference between a Yandere, a Tsundere, and a Kuudere?

Yandere: Yandere (ヤンデレ) is a portmanteau of two Japanese words yanderu (病んでる), meaning to be sick, and deredere (デレデレ), which is defined as strongly and deeply exhausted, infatuated, moonstruck, head over heels, or lovestruck, but in this case used for "lovestruck."
So that person is sick to a dangerous degree and is violent.
Examples: Mirai Nikki / School Days
The word was developed from tsundere which describes a character who is both hard-nosed or moody tsuntsun (ツンツン) and the aforementioned lovestruck. The sick portion was added when a new layer of romantic obsession came about beyond normal tsundere (where cool emotions were warmed and nurtured towards awkward, romantic or sexualized tension) where seemingly normal displays of strong and deep romantic love and affection become mentally dilapidated (e.g. kidnapping crushes, poisoning food that is to be eaten by a romantic rival, or forcing the romantic love interest to enter a double suicide pact (shinjuu 心中)).
Both are from wiki.
So a Tsundere will inflict comedic violence only and isn't sick in the brain.
Examples for a Tsundere: Asuka from Eva, Toradora! and.... many more.
Kuudere: An anime/manga slang term for a character that is cold, blunt, cynical, and pretty much doesn't care if her beloved dies. That's what she is on the outside but she is actually caring and nice on the inside. Differs from tsundere since tsundere is when the character frequently runs hot and cold between tsun and dere. Kuudere is when the character only occasionally shows her caring side.
This one is from urbandictionary and i never heared of it before i looked at the categories.
We even have Yangire (utter nonsense and just a form of Yandere), Himedere and Dandere too so i will stick to Tsundere/Yandere only and just describe better as MU isn´t tvtropes but a database. The default should be female (correct me if i am wrong) so Male Tsundere / Male Yandere are used by me too.
@IMNOTCRAZY Kuudere and Dandere. Both are highly upvoted. Shrug.
A dandere is a character archtype that entails someone being quiet which is usually associated with shyness. "Dan" comes from the word "danmari" which means silent and taciturn. "Dere" means to become "lovey dovey"
Dandere: Not to be confused with Kuudere which is a cool person that becomes lovey dovey. They are very similar in appearence and possibly behavior, but their underlying character reasoning is different. Being silent for the sake of being silent vs being cool.
More "information": http://my-and-your-anime-world.blogspot.de/2013/04/tsundere-yan dere-kuudere-yangire.html and "dere dere" is a thing now too

Someone thought that series X should have targeted young boys instead of the actual target demographic. Valid reasons could be certain narrative devices/tropes as "nakama power" or an art style that resembles popular Shounen manga.
Sequels as Durarara!! - Relay or Shaman King - Flowers are the perfect examples of the tag and 3D Kanojo proves that the tag also works with female targeted manga.
The pr0n version of our 5 variations has has been doing overtime, so yours truly came up with the missing Josei version and i can only recommend to give such categories instead of messing aground with a correctly filled out genre box to prevent genre wars/lock downs.
Edit: And it´s dead so keep it that way.

On Bulgeun Sil, it doesn't (didn't) have the "web comic" category tag.......which I added, because well, it is one, right? We've got an "Original Webtoon" link to it in the description.... but is anybody else seeing something I'm not? If that tag really doesn't apply I guess I'd appreciate an explanation as to why not

It need the tag and you added it correctly. This is a web first (or only in a lot of Korean cases) publication. I am surprised that i overlooked an addition myself, as at least half the tags are mine.

Haha! 
Ah well, these things happen... I just kinda wanted a second opinion is all. It seemed so obvious to me, but when I looked and saw how long the page/title had been there it was like... "wow, I've got to be doing something stupid here"
Okay, good deal, thanks

Collection of Stories is used when series is composed of multiple, usually unrelated, stories.
Anthology is for series that include multiple stories by different authors. For example 8 Tales of the ZQN and Houkago, Seifuku o Nui de.
Most Anthologies are also collections of stories.
