Seinen is for Manga or Anime that is targeted at a 18–40 year old male audience. Seinen manga are distinguished from shōnen manga which are for younger teen boys, although some seinen manga like xxxHolic share similarities with shōnen manga. Seinen manga can focus on action, politics, science fiction, fantasy, relationships, sports, or comedy. The female equivalent to seinen manga is josei manga.

Seinen: manga & anime for targeted at an older audience

Tired of manga and anime made for children, this subreddit was created to aim at the older crowd, who like more serious, intellectual, or perhaps starring characters old enough to drink.

New Rules:

  1. When posting something that you recommend, include something along the lines of [RECOMMENDED] or [READ THIS/WATCH THIS] in the title of the post and then a reason why you recommend it to everyone else. If you want to discuss a certain chapter/episode of a manga/anime, then include [DISCUSSION] in the title.

  2. Don't be an asshat to other people just because they have a different opinion than you. Don't downvote either, just state our own opinion and possibly discuss it with each other.

This community is about sharing and discussing Seinen content, so don't be afraid to ask for or give some.

Scarred Jinsei is a helluva manga

Just finished reading this, and out of the whole Tough franchise ( still wish the original was fully translated ) Scarred Jinsei is definitely my favourite spin off.

I have such a soft spot for big hearted bruisers, like Marv in Sin City. Jinsei is cut from exactly the same cloth.

More than happy to keep gushing about it if anyone else likes this. Also, what were your thoughts on the ending?

Need manga recommendations

Hello everyone! So I've been wanting to read some seinen manga but I'm not finding any good ones to read right now. I've really enjoyed the climber, oyasumi punpun and homunculus. I have seen that 20th century boys seems to be quite good but currently I want a psychological manga with well written characters and I'm not sure if 20th century boys is that based on what I've heard. Thanks to everyone who read my post!

What are some relatively new good Seinen manga/anime ?

Hi guys! I'm here because I'm tired of reading Shonen so I'm looking dive into more Seinen series. You often see the usual get recommended on online searches, so I decided to come here and get some recs from people who have spent a good amount of time combing through what the Seinen genre has to offer. I'm looking for stories that have unique/well-executed concepts or just with overall great/mature storytelling and characters. Thanks for your time.

Here are some things I have read/watched so you don't exert yourself for nothing:

- Berserk

- Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor

- Vagabond

- Battle Angel Alita

- Pluto

- Monster

- Blue Heaven

- Skyhigh

- Ping Pong: The Animation

- Memories of Emanon

- Blood and Steel

- Vinland Saga (my interest in the series dropped tbh)

- Mujina into the Deep

PLANNING TO READ/WATCH:

- Heavenly Delusion

- Mushishi

- 20th Century Boys

- The Legend of the Strongest, Kurosawa!

- Akira (I've already seen the Movie but I want to read the manga as there's more material)

Just finished BLAME!

What a ride. Took me a minute to get into the “little plot, all atmosphere” groove, but once I did I was all-in. It was more like exploration than reading. I loved being able to go “huh, so that’s a thing that would/could happen in this world” instead of “well that was an interesting twist. Any other mangas that are that loose and open?

I don't understand why manga in English is at such low quality. In my country, Spain, manga are scanned at much higher quality. Example of Vinland Saga: 3412x4900

Recs for Seinen without fight/blood/violence?

Hey peeps, I’ve been in a personal quest for more anime without the classic fighting/violence/guns/blood/gore and so forth to watch…

I’d love some recommendations of interesting anime, specially if they’re not straight up slices of life

I’ve realized how little action or choreo we can find without being linked to fights or so, I love me some good animation with effects and so on but usually those are tied to fighting scenes and such :(

All recs will be more than welcomed 😊

(I don’t know if mushishi is seinen but something like that is amazing and really hard to find, just a ref that I recalled now)

What are your guys opinions on Shonun?

Do you consider it bad? Do you consider it okay? Or do you think it’s phenomenal and just simply not in to it?

looking for a new series

Ok so i just finished reading all of berserk on paper (first manga ever btw) and im looking for another one to start. I’ve heard of the big three, but i was wondering if that’s really the place to start or if there’s another one. I’m really looking for an actual physical book series, so recommendations would be greatly appreciated
