Japanese comics for preteen boys, usually named as Shounen Manga or Shounen Anime, are addictive because of the heavy dosage of Action, Adventure, and Epic Battles.
This is not all. People love shounen animes because of their persistent traits such as Courageous and pure heart protagonist, black and white morales of characters, murder aims, crossing orders and rules to save their friends, acting dumb, people turning from enemy into friend and vice-versa, self-improvements of protagonist shows it’s fine if you are not smart or strong but must give tries for better. The big difference can be seen between first and the last page of the chapter in terms of main character’s knowledge, power and strength.
These all are big attractions and makes shounen anime everyone’s favorite and contains our childhood as well.
