Given men's quite universal taste, guys prefer some genres in comics (manga) like seinen, shonen, ecchi and hentai. Any of them can contain some comedy, drama, fantasy, mysticism and others.

Music is important for anime like for any movie. No wonder, it's followed by a soundtrack release and even concerts...

Illustrated short stories for women fall under basic genres like shoujo, magical girl, josei, yaoi, yuri. Each targets its own audience with short story relating to one of them and usually containing other genre elements like fantasy, historical, drama and so on.
