High School/Coming of Age/Seinen Titles

#
High School: (Story/Location) Self-explanatory. High School (grades 10-12) should play a major role in the title. A typical High School series will include a Sports Festival, a Cultural Festival, and a School Trip. Related categories: "Elementary School", "Middle School", "College".

Coming of Age: (Story/Location) A story in which the main character is confronted with issues related to their transition from adolescence (innocence) to adulthood (responsibility). Most typically found in a modern romance story in which the main character has to confront his/her feelings over their (first) love and/or deciding about the path in life (setting goals, attending college, getting a job etc.).

Seinen: (Target Group) (↗seinen (青年) = "young man"; opposite of "Josei") These are titles which are geared toward young men (18-30 years of age) and are too adult for the "Shounen" crowd. See also: ↗Wikipedia:Seinen.
