Anime and Manga Genres - INI

Anime and manga genres are structured along two axes: demographic classifications based on target age groups (shonen, shojo, seinen, josei, kodomo) and thematic classifications based on content (action, romance, SF, fantasy, horror, sports, etc.). These genres often overlap and are used to express the characteristics of works from multiple perspectives.
