Wait isn’t it a difference ? Shonen is just comics meant for young men. While shotacon is different where they like fictional young characters

Well Shonen is often used in Japanese meaning something along the lines of youth , specifically usually young boy. But take for example all might from my hero academia, he calls all his students "name-shonen" as in young 'name'. Essentially just meaning "youth". Shotacon is derived from the name of a certain young boy (Shotaro) from a certain manga originally. -con means complex. Meaning a complex about shotaro. This evolved to be the standard terminology for someone being infatuated with young boys. However the difference Suisei tries to imply is that shotacon generally refers to being obsessed with younger boys, where she is obsessed with shonen, aka teenagers to young adults. Think most shonen manga protagonists like anything ranging from MHA to Bleach to whatever. These days generally the accepted terms are that shota are younger than shonen. Think of it as pre-puberty and during-puberty. Shota are more kids, where shonen are teenagers to young adults. (and then you get seinen where it crosses over from being a young boy to a young man)

No, shonen is young boys, you're thinking of seinen.
