Shōnen
Shōnen is a Japanese word that is used to describe a type of media (like comic books, cartoons, and TV shows) that is meant for boys, usually between the ages of 8 and 18. Think of it like a special type of story that is made just for boys who really like adventure, action, and exciting battles.
The stories in shōnen media usually involve a main character who is a young boy who goes on exciting adventures, fights evil villains, and tries to become stronger and better. These stories are often set in fantastical worlds filled with dragons, robots, magical powers, and other cool stuff.
One reason why shōnen is so popular is because it speaks directly to the interests and desires of young boys. Boys at that age often love to imagine themselves going on exciting adventures and becoming heroes, and shōnen gives them exciting stories that they can get lost in.
Some popular examples of shōnen media include Dragon Ball, Naruto, One Piece, Attack on Titan, and Hunter x Hunter. These series have captured the imaginations of boys all around the world and helped to make shōnen media one of the most popular forms of entertainment for young people today.
