My top 5 favorite Shonen Mangas/Animes...

Shonen is arguably the most popular genre of Anime/Manga in Japan (and possibly of all the world), There's many different genres that go with Shonen Manga, From fighting, to sports, to gag animes/mangas. It's my favorite Genre, at least from the 1980s-ish? to the 1990s, and maybe part of the 2000s. I decided to do this little list to show you some of my favorites. What counts as a Shonen manga? That's hard to describe, because There's so much Genres, levels of violence, and types of humor (which is also part of the genre), the way I see it is two requirements:

1. Too simple to be aimed at older audiences (Seinen), yet too complex for young children (Kodomo). It's generally aimed at Older Kids, Tweens, and high school aged kids.
2. And a Person (age, gender, and race don't usually matter) completing a certain goal (whether it'd be be the best in a certain field of their life (fighting in tournaments, sports, etc)), or to get through day to day life with hilarious and surreal scenarios.

With that out of the way, (In order to 5th favorite to Most Favorite) Here are some of my favorites...
