Metadata categories (genres and themes) for 912 Manga titles sorted by frequency
these categories are first created and used by a very large and well-organized community of fans; they are latter adapted by Manga publishers
Here are the explanations of the categories which are not self-explanatory - compiled by William Huber
(see also en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_anime_and_manga)
------------------------------------------
Manwha : Korean comics.
Manhua : Chinese comics. (The metadata for the files we have betrays a Japan-centric perspective; there are different and well-defined genres within Chinese comics that are different from those used by the onemanga community. This may deserve some follow-up.)
Shōnen: Comics for boys (high-school age or younger)
Seinen: Comics for young adult men (18 and over, although still implicitly "young men." They haven't targeted buyers over the age of 40 until recently; if Azuma is right, the generation of people born in the mid-60s will always be the age boundary for the manga market.)
Shoujo: Comics for girls (high-school age or younger)
Josei : Comics for (young) adult women.
Shoujo-ai: Romantic relations between girls. (Literally, "girl love"); a subset of Yuri, which can include more explicitly sexual depictions, presumptively produced for male readers.
Shounen-ai: Same-sex romantic or homoerotic relations between boys, presumptively produced for female readers.
Ecchi: Erotica. English-speaking manga-fans sometimes use the term to describe"soft core", pin-up-style images of girls or young women. In Japan, the term"hentai" ("pervert stuff") is a broad category for erotica and pornography, and "ecchi" (the Japanese pronunciation of the letter "H") is a slightly more tasteful term to describe it.
Mecha: stories featuring walking, often bi-pedal armored vehicles controlled by a human pilot.

Description: The Kitchen God's Wife is the second novel by Amy Tan. It deals extensively with Sino-American female identity and draws on the story of her mother's life. The story demonstrates the difficulties of bicultural life and the female struggle in a patriarchal society.
Story Background: The harrowing early life of her mother, Daisy, inspired Amy Tan’s novel The Kitchen God’s Wife. In China, Daisy had divorced an abusive husband but lost custody of her three daughters. She was forced to leave them behind when she escaped on the last boat to leave Shanghai before the Communist takeover in 1949. Her marriage to John Tan produced three children, Amy, and her two brothers.
Reception: The New York Times described the book as "remarkable ... mesmerizing... compelling ... An entire world unfolds in a Tolstoyan tide of event and detail" (books.google.com/books?id=Mu1lXW5KJJQC&printsec=front...), Some critics, such as King-Kok Cheung, have criticized Tan for her characterization of Asian men as one-sided and the "epitome of deception and cruelty."
