so you have:
— — — — — — —
• S H Ō N E N •
- - manga aimed at MALE audience. usually young, but age varies.
- - often goes along with adventure, sport, and features fights, and physical skills. portrays things like honour, duty, community, friendship and family bonds.
- - protagonist is often male.
- - e.g. Pandora Hearts (m) || Case Closed "Detective Conan" (m/a) || Naruto (m/a), Code Geass (a) || Fairy Tail (m/a) || Death Note (a) || Spiral: Suiri no Kizuna (m) … etc.
— — — — — — —
• S H Ō J O •
- - manga aimed at FEMALE audience. usually young, but age varies.

“Oz, heir to the Vessalius Duke House, has just turned fifteen (this is some semi-Victorian era). His life is rich and carefree, darkened only by the constant absence of his father (his dad is an arse). At his coming-of-age ceremony, everything changes (something that happened is that a clock that has been frozen for like decades has moved once he reached up the stairs in his coming of age ceremony, like whaaaa?). For no reason that he can discern, Oz is cast into the prison known as the "Abyss" (something like hell, nothingness basically but madness and creepy stuff, think Alice in Wonderland! some red robed fellas threw him out there saying his sin is that he exists, woooo), only to be saved by a girl known as Alice (see? AiW), the Bloodstained Black Rabbit (basically she can change into sth like a monster called a Chain, the Chain she can change into is called the Bloodstained Rabbit). The mystery there begins as Oz unravels the mystery behind Alice, the Abyss (he returned from the world of Abyss to his world, and some stuff are out of place, hmmm), and the strange organisation known as "Pandora".”
my phone is batshit crazy atm and i cannot attach a pic, but anyways those are the things i love about it:
• the CHARACTERS 💙
- their looks, a change from usual shounen manga.
- different characters and personalities.
- they show emotions in a beautiful way.
- their names :P
- characters are for me the most important part in manga, those characters are ace.
• the DRAWING 💙
• the fact that it's a shounen manga written by a female.
• the plot, though it's complicated, and it doesn't pop out troubles from nowhere, it's stable throughout the manga.
• it has some chains that are named after the characters of AiW.
• idk i love it i cannot recall other reasons rn.

hopefully you'll like it, and though it's not hardcore violence and fights like, say, Naruto or FT or Tokyo Ghoul, it's really good, one of my absolute faves.
ALSO, it has a 20-sth episodes anime, but it's finished all though the manga continued from the point where the anime finished (the manga is completed btw). if you wanna watch it, watch the anime EXCEPT for the last two episodes (they aren't from the manga + total bullshit), and then continue from that point on in the manga. and you can, from the anime, decide whether you like it or not.
sorry this is too long 😂💔
