To be honest, I prefer shonen.
Seinen isn't my cup of tea and I don't like things to get intense...so....what about you guys?

What is Seinen again?
Seinen means young adult male, so any manga that’s in a magazine that targets that specific audience.
People forget than seinen, shonen, and shojo are age demographics (makes sense when you find out what the words mean), and not genres. It shows how pointless these labels are when Ghost In the Shell and K-on are both seinen and have absolutely nothing in common.
I personally enjoy when I see people coming up with hard genre definitions for marketing or distribution labels.

Um.....it's a genre after Shonen.
It's a bit dark and usually the target age range is around 18-24+...
