I'm not quite clear on what shonen means. Cartoons for boys?
A genre of Japanese comics and animated films aimed primarily at a young male audience, typically characterized by action-filled plots.
Thanks. I was in the ballpark after all!
I'll add that Shonen often centers around puberty, coming of age, growing up and becoming a strong and honorable adult.
Thank you.
