Manga and Manwha can probably be sorted into more categories than the american and european comics combined.

 I've only heard of Azumanga Daioh, on that list.

 Feh! The whole idea seems traitorous to the idea of anime/manga. Good thing I've only ever encountered the truly genre-driven stuff.

So I take it you've only ever seen Shouen?
“She'd become a governess. It was one of the few jobs a known lady could do. And she'd taken to it well. She'd sworn that if she did indeed ever find herself dancing on rooftops with chimney sweeps she'd beat herself to death with her own umbrella.”

 Shounen? I hate to say, I don't really pay attention to the names of the different types.

Sailor Moon, Shaman King, Inuyasha, Tokyo Mew Mew, Magical DoReMi, Lovely Complex, Pandora Hearts, FLCL, Code: Geass, Death Note, Case Closed, a couple others I don't recall right now.

Do those count all as shounen?

Well.

The divides basically are the target demographic.

Shouen manga/anime is targeted towards young (10-14~) males, and it usually action packed with a protagonist that gets angry and saves people. Bleach, Naruto, etc..

Shojo manga/anime is targeted towards young (10-14~) females, and is usually more focused on relationships and such. Sailor Moon and most Magical Girl Animes are these.

Seinen manga/anime is targeted to older (18-30) males, and is very broad. Ghost in A Shell is a seinen series.

Josei manga/anime is targeted to older (18-30) females, and is generally a more mature version of Shojo. I don't have an examples of this.

They're all on Wikipedia if you want a better, in-depth view.

They aren't generally strict genre-wise, but often have common subjects or themes.

I guess the main ones I like are Shounen and Shoujo, then. One Piece, Fullmetal Alchemist, Death Note, Inuyasha, FLCL, Lovely Complex, Pandora Hearts, Shaman King and others of that sort.

 I will watch big huge series like that when I am old, and have literally nothing better to do...

The only exception I may make to that is One Piece. Oh, and Death Note. Cause they look frackin' awesome.

 I could maybe grow to like it, but I doubt I would want my first taste of it to be a whole big, long series...
