Manga genres in Japan and South Korea

For manga books submitted to Google Play in Japan and South Korea, Google created subject codes to help users find manga that interests them. To categorize your manga titles on Google Play, use these subject codes.

When you submit your metadata, you can provide subject codes individually through the Genre tab of your manga titles or you can submit a spreadsheet.

For each book, add both:

• An audience subject code:
  • For Boys
  • For Girls
  • For Young Men
  • For Children 
  • For Women 
•  A content genre subject code:  All other categories are content genre subject codes. 

If one of your manga titles doesn't fit under any of the manga categories, use the BISAC category: Comics & Graphic Novels / General.
