Tokyo Revengers Vol. 1 by Ken Wakui (Farsi)

Shonen manga is a popular genre of Japanese comics aimed primarily at young male readers, typically between the ages of 12 and 18. The term “shonen” translates to “boy” in Japanese, and these manga often feature action-packed stories with a focus on adventure, friendship, rivalry, and personal growth. Shonen manga are known for their dynamic art style, fast-paced plots, and strong, determined protagonists who embark on quests or face various challenges to improve themselves or achieve their goals. Some of the key themes in shonen manga include overcoming obstacles, competition, and the importance of teamwork and perseverance. The protagonists often start as underdogs but gradually grow stronger, both physically and mentally, as they face increasingly difficult trials. Iconic examples of shonen manga include Naruto, Dragon Ball, One Piece, and Attack on Titan. These series not only entertain but also emphasize universal values such as loyalty, honor, and the pursuit of dreams. Over the years, shonen manga has become a dominant force in global pop culture, influencing other media such as anime, films, and video games, and attracting fans of all ages around the world.
