I'll read anything with a good story and as close to 0 sex as possible

I voted that I read every genre, but nowadays, it's not as true. I'm female, but I prefer shonen/seinen because there's more action and adventure in those, rather than in regular shoujo/soonjung series.

When I first started reading manhwa, I stuck to a lot of soonjung/shoujo. However, now I'm more delved into action/shonen these days.

Still, if a series is good, it matters not its genre. Though, I'd say I prefer shonen to shoujo.

hahah..yes, i am a guy and reading shoujo and shounen (and some seinen)..
overall comparison (IMO):

shounen:
- female character is always a man's dream: beautiful, nice body, etc..
- typical story-->female character fighting over main character

shoujo:
- male character is always a girl's dream: handsome, charming, cool,etc..
- typical story-->male character fighting over main character

see? so guys out there, read shoujo to understand what women want, and girls, read shounen to understand what man want..

yaha.....

I read shounen and shoujo but avoid those typical stories. IMO those are dreams of otaku who are out of contact of society/losers, usually one-dimensional and extremely dull and boring. Also a lot of them have to do with Japan's/otaku culture and are probably not applicable in other cultures.

As a female, I never find any shoujo romance guy attractive, and I've been reading manga since the early 1990's. In fact, I hardly know any memorable or remotely decent shoujo romance. I am pround to say that I am myself, have always been myself, never tried to learn from the so-called ideal females in shounen and have found boyfriends who find me attractive.

Eh... I'm a girl that reads mostly shonen and josei... And I also read some shojo... Rarely seinen [used to]

I read a lot of genres, but a lot of the manga i happen to read is shounen and supernatural and i'm a girl.

Why, hello there!!!

I'm a girl and I read just about anything. x3' As long as the plot is interesting...

Well, I read almost everything, but the series that I like the most belong to the Seinen/Shounen demographic and only one being a Josei title. The Shoujo that I read is actually just filler that "cleanses" the palate... so, it basically makes me appreciate my other titles all the more.

i'm a girl and i mostly read shounen and seinen. shoujo and josei usually bore me to death.

im a girl and i mostly read shoujo high school romances. i like to read epic shounens too *cough cough one piece*, but really ill read anything that is cute interesting or amuses me ( makes me lol literly ).

I'm a guy, read mostly shounen/seinen. Aside from that, I do read stuff that isn't placed in a demographic, as well as the occassional shoujo or josei.

Personally, I don't care what genre. As long as I like the manga itself, I don't care about the genre. Same thing with books and movies I read/watch. I just read it. If I like it, I like it. I don't even look at the genre. Lol.

I'm a girl, and I used to read way more shoujo than shounen around the pre- to early-teen age... but as I got older, I grew out of the horrible shoujo love stories and crappy plots and into the exciting and funny series shounen has to offer. :] Occasionally I find a nice shoujo series here and there... but other than that, shounen (and seinen) is what I normally get into.

I read every genre (except...). But I really like shounen mangas (female, btw).

I read anything that sounds good, and that includes shounen and seinen.
