Start Reading Manga Challenge - hosted by confusedmuse

Read a manga classified as ‘seinen’
Translated as “youth,” this demographic of manga is aimed at older teen boys to young adult men. They frequently tackle more complex themes and a wider range of topics than shounen manga. Think of seinen as shounen’s older brother.

Examples: Berserk, One Punch Man, Mushishi, Dorohedoro
