I noticed that lots of people have been asking about the meanings of certain Genre so I've got the definations here. They are from Baka-Updates.

Action
A work typically depicting fighting, violence, chaos, and fast paced motion.

Adult
Contains content that is suitable only for adults. Titles in this category may include prolonged scenes of intense violence and/or graphic sexual content and nudity.

Adventure
If a character in the story goes on a trip or along that line, your best bet is that it is an adventure manga. Otherwise, it's up to your personal prejudice on this case.

Comedy
A dramatic work that is light and often humorous or satirical in tone and that usually contains a happy resolution of the thematic conflict.

Doujinshi
Fan based art inspired by official anime or manga.

Drama
A work meant to bring on an emotional response, such as instilling sadness or tension.

Ecchi
Possibly the line between hentai and non-hentai, ecchi usually refers to fanservice put in to attract a certain group of fans.

Fantasy
Anything that involves, but not limited to, magic, dream world, and fairy tales.

Gender Bender
Girls dressing up as guys, guys dressing up as girls.. Guys turning into girls, girls turning into guys.. I think you get the picture.

Harem

Horror

Josei

Lolicon
