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.
