For most, the world of anime and manga is dominated by shonen series, typically action-focused storyies aimed primarily at a young male demographic (famed hits like Dragon Ball Z and even Death Note included). However, there are also anime and manga aimed at an older demographic, and that category is known as seinen.
So, what is seinen? "Seinen" is media aimed at older males in their late teens and 20s. In general, these series tend to star older protagonists, feature more explicit content, and deal with darker subject matter (though not all have to). While that male audience is the only real requirement to be seinen, the series can be enjoyed by anyone, and contains the variety to do exactly that. Below are ten of the absolute best seinen series available, offering great entry points into this diverse and underappreciated genre.

This article contains spoilers for the Black Clover manga
Black Clovers rapid spike in popularity has made it one of the top series in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump, even if these days it's being published in Shonen Jump Giga. Taking place in a world filled with magic, Black Clover features several powerful characters. Many of them have garnered fanbases worldwide since their introductions, particularly the members of the notorious Black Bulls Magic Knight squad.
The vast majority of the wizards and later devils who appear in Black rely on their magical grimoires, combining their powers to overwhelm their opponents. That said, there are exceptions to this rule, as protagonist Asta wields an anti-magic grimoire. These individuals have earned reputations for having incredible magic abilities as well as battle aptitude, making them some of the strongest Black Clover characters.
