I read manga, of course, and in one of them, they use -san, -chan, and -kun alot. Does anyone know when to use those at what time? I dont get how to use them, and I'd like to in my stories/mangas. If you can help me, it'd be very much appreciated, so thanks! ~~<33 Breezy

I know this.
-san: equivalent to Mr. and Mrs. and a general sign of respect.
-kun: used as a term of familiarity when referring to boys, also used a term of respect.
-chan: used as a term of familiarity when referring to girls or as a playful nickname.
-sama: referring to someone of great respect or a maid/butler referring to their master.- Jul 27, 2008

sama is also used to reference to a kami (god/s) or to a mountain especially to mt fuji-sama mostly because some people that hike on that mountain (inactive volcano) never come back alive and they pray every spring before anyone hikes so that people will return
BuBbLeS!

Heres a nice primer on Japanese honorifics.

In the manga i read there is almost always a section in either the back or front that explains the more common honorifics.
