What are the different types of manga drawing styles not genre styles of drawing?

The two major drawing styles are Shoujo and Shounen, which are also styles of manga. Shoujo manga are more driven towards girls, and the style that is reltated to it includes more detailed, 'beautiful' drawings. Shounen is more driven towards boys, so the style is more blunt, making it less difficult to draw in action sequences. Popular examples for Shounen are: Naruto, Bleach, Zach Bell, One Piece, and Digimon. Popular examples for Shoujo are: Ouran Highschool Host Club, Wallflower, Fruits Basket, Sailor Moon, and Tokyo Mew Mew (Mew Mew Power)

What are all the different types of manga and there meanings?

There are several types of manga and anime, but they are mainly divided into two main groups: shounen (also spelt shonen) and shoujo (spelt shojo). Shounen is aimed primarily toward boys. The story often centers around fighting and action and is closely tied to the Action, Adventure and Martial Arts genres. It is the male equivalent to shoujo. The more adult equivalent to shounen is seinen, which features fighting and action only bloodier and more vulgar. Shoujo is aimed primarily toward girls. The story is often circled around love and romance between two characters and is closely tied to Romance, School Life, and Drama genres. It is the female equivalent to shounen. The adult equivalent to shoujo is josei which features a more realistic form of romance. Although these are not the main genres, you often hear different mangas being referred to as either shounen or shoujo rather than comedy or drama. You may also hear the terms "yaoi", "yuri", "shounen-ai", and "shoujo-ai" floating around. Yaoi is boyxboy; shounen-ai is considered to be less mature. Yuri is girlxgirl, with shoujo-ai being less mature. The rest of the terms are rather self explanatory. Often in manga hosting sites, you will also see manhua and manwha. These are the Chinese and Korean (I think) equivalents of manga. I belive that in manwha, you read right to left.
