The majority belong to shonen battle or comedy, great diversity. oh not :)

Battle Shounen is a popular "genre", and it's a free market that has clearly said it likes when young men  have duels. I also like how you attempt to lump in Sports Manga with Battle Shounen, as though they're the same thing. In fact, based on that alone, I don't think you even know what you're talking about.
