There are two dominant forms of Manga out there:
Shonen (or Shounen) - Shonen anime and manga is typically characterized by high-action, often humorous plots featuring male protagonists. (examples: Dragonball Z, Gundam Wing, Neon Genesis: Evangelion). There is a more adult variation called Seinen, but it often comes down to the same idea with more blood, gore, and sex.
Shojo (or Shoujo) - The genre is stereotyped as melodramatic stories of idyllic romance usually with a female protagonist, but often move out of the stereotype to cover all sorts of genres, most popularly sci-fi/fantasy with the Magical Girl series. These are usually the more emotional Manga series, with young characters dealing with their emotions while in High School or similar settings (This would be series like Sailor Moon, Fruits Basket, and Cardcaptor Sakura). Josei, like Seinen, is the more mature variation of this with a more realistic approach to Romance and Sex, but still from the female perspective.
SO WHICH OF THE TWO TICKLES YOU JUST RIGHT??
Also: what are your favorite series of each type?
