I have almost exclusively read shounen manga in the past. Chances are, if it was shounen and released between 2008 and 2015, I’ve read it.
It’s formulaic to the point where other satire anime will call out tropes associated with the genre, like Gintama.
Shounen manga starts with a great man that is at first under-estimated, but then is shown to have an exceptional talent or gains an exceptional power. A call to adventure is provided, usually when this talent or power is established. The hero will then meet a roadblock where they cannot pass, and they must train to gain more power. Usually multiple times. And the end is hastily and shittily concluded when the author is given very short notice to end the manga.
