I tend to stick to seinen. Lately I've been checking out some shojo titles though.

I love high school romance. I'm big on romance though I don't really like romantic comedy much. I also like slice of life series and fantasy. Itend to appreciate collection of short stories and episodic series like stand alone stories for example Natsume, Mushishi, Petshop of Horrors, 1001 Nights, Dolls etc.

I try to read a bit of everything. I used to read more BL than any other genre, then moved more to shonen and now tipping over to slice of life.

I'm way too all over the place these days. It used to be a pretty general split between shoujo and BL/yaoi titles; now it's splitting more into shounen and fantasy, things like that. I just can't seem to make up my mind on a genre and stick with it ^^;

I usually read anything with a good story line and decent to amazing art I'm everywhere, ok maybe not everywhere but almost. I've been into shounen Akame ga kill and seinin Dogs bullets and carnage lately. But if you have a recommendation I'll be more than willing to give it a shot! Very Happy

Will pretty much read any type of genre (except gender bender, it gets confusing keeping track of who's actually male/female). Though, 90% of the time, I enjoy reading shoujo over anything else. When picking a new series to read though, I go by artwork and storyline, then look at the genre.

Any genre of manga will do provided that the story is super okay. Whether it be romance, action or others for as long as the story is interesting I'm up for it.

I generally go for School life themed manga, sometimes shoujo. As long as it has some good romance i'm pretty much happy with it.

In manga, and anime, I care much more for the characters than for the stories. That is probably why I like slice of life manga, especially comedies.
Some of my favorites are K-On!, Lucky Star, and Sunshine Sketch. Some of the lesser know ones that I really like are Suzunari and Tori Koro. It is probably not a coincidence that those are all 4 koma.
I love Sgt. Frog, which could be considered slice of life and is definitely comedy.

I also enjoy some fantasy adventure stories, with Inuyasha being my favorite.

I can also get interested in a supernatural series. It can be an action drama, such as Dance in the Vampire Bund or Rosario + Vampire, or something lighter and more comedic like Kanokon and Inukami! I am currently reading Omamori Himari.

I think that I have found at least one title that I like in every genre that I know of.

Whatever the genre, fan service is always a plus for me. So is yuri, even if it is only subtext and innuendo.

I like to read shonen due to the adventure and action, and comedy you'll see in it at times. I also will read seinen manga when there is a good series that may be dark and/or deep. And I will OCCASIONALLY read a shojo manga if there is a good one, although the only one that comes to mind for that genre is Fruits Basket.

Yaoi, shounen-ai, shounen, action, sports, fantasy and comedy. ^-^ These are the main genres but sometimes I find other genres interesting me too while I'm mainly avoiding shoujo, josei, harem/ reverse harem mangas which I find sadly quite boring at times.

It depends on my mood really but mostly shoujo and school life.

The majority of what I read is shonen, though there are some good shoujo like Basara and Kare Kano.
