The 'shonen' genre, meaning 'young man's story,' is a popular subgenre of anime that typically features heroic protagonists, action-packed storylines, and themes of friendship and courage. It's prevalent due to its appeal to a young adult audience and its ability to provide escapism and emotional connection.
