Seinen
Seinen (Japanese: 青年) is a subset of anime or manga that is generally targeted at a 18 - 25 year old male audience, but the audience can be much older with some comics aimed at businessmen well into their 40s.
Sometimes it is classified as shojo or shonen, but it has distinct features, usually classified by a wider variety of art styles (particularly in manga) and more variation in subject matter, ranging from the avant garde to the pornographic. The female equivalent to seinen is josei.
A common way to tell if a comic is seinen is by looking at the title of the magazine it was published in. Usually Japanese manga magazines with the word young in the title (Young Jump for instance) are seinen. Other popular seinen manga magazines include Afternoon and Big Comic . Many of these manga were published in English in the now defunct pulp magazine.
