Big Order for me. I'm enjoying it for what it is so far.

Some of you will remember some complaints I posted regarding the downfall of Shounen? It's getting worse...

Aren't you the guy who defines shounen as 'only what I like' rather than what it actually is though?

Not really and I feel offended you all believe this.

I realized the problem is that long runners that are firmly "middle of the road" in tone, gender ratio and power shenanigans seems to be eroding. Now it's shorter stories that lean more towards shoujo or slice of life or seinen. Stuff like SAO and FSN is technically shounen, but it's not shounen in the same way as Bleach (they are either too light or too dark)...

Does anyone take him seriously in this thread ?

I'd be surprised if they did.

Remind me to remove you from XBL for being insufferable...

My guilty pleasure of this season would be Terra Formars Revenge ...

Twin Star Excorist had a great twist recently, I'm definitely following the manga once the anime is done ...

How about World Trigger ?

It's as long running and shounen as it's going to get when it comes from the same magazine as One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach via weekly shounen jump ...

Depends on how recent you're thinking...but Hunter x Hunter and Assassination Classroom both get high marks from me, even if both feel pretty unique for the genre. If Boku no Hero Academia gets renewed, I'd recommend trying that out as well...I'm loving it so far.

There's also Jojo...pretty much the epitome of shounen right there.

Tried it, no luck... It definitely is shounen and I can see it, but it feels like Fairy Tail to me... And I am not all that sold on Fairy Tail either...

Hunter x Hunter is pretty old (returning though) and Assassination Classroom looks promising, but anime wise it's near dead. Same goes for Hero Academia...

And I lump Jojo with the likes of YuYu Hakusho... A bit too on the "manry" side...

If someone knows a manga that has...

Teen main characters
Realistic body proportions
Takes place on Earth but is not slice of life or crime related
No psychological themes
Fantasy
Male protagonist
Shounen
Fighting manga
Has at least a 150 chapter backlog
No older than 2008...

As it stands, the only manga I know that still fill the void are Bleach and Beelzebub...
