Seinen manga (青年漫画) is a subset of manga that is generally targeted at men from ages 17 on into their 40’s. In Japanese the word seinen means young man or young men. Seinen manga are distinguished from the more sex-focused seijin-muke manga (成人向け漫画 often classed in western fandom as ‘hentai’) although there is sexual content of a softcore nature in some of the seinen strips. The female equivalent to seinen manga is josei manga.
