Spy x Family is shonen?

I was under the impression it wasnt but i just looked it up and Google says it is actually a shounen lol.

Despite its cool action scenes, I would definitely put this under comedy/romance though. It for sure isn't a Naruto/Bleach/Dbz type of shounen so it definitely wouldn't outright appeal to those who only watch those types of shows. Its fun and charming though so it has mass cross-appeal and a little something for every anime lover.

Yeah you’re talking about battle shonen. There’s other genres but battle shonen is far and away the most popular.

Yeah I just had a brainfart and forgot that shounen was a fairly wide umbrella that houses many subgenres. It's more of a age range than an actual description.

Action scenes are fairly light and comedic. It's very much a comedy first and foremost with a tiny bit of spy thriller (mostly spoofing it)
