This is really cool! I tend to be really skeptical of shonen as a genre because of the M A L E G A Z E, so I'm generally interested in shoujo and seinen, and this looks like a cool genre bend! Thanks seji!
@moderatecanuck3 жыл бұрын
It's written for boys, same as seinen btw (men)
@rosietales3 жыл бұрын
tbh even you can find good shonen that has slice of life or seinen characteristics. It all has to do with which demographic they target at the end of the day.
@madmouse44002 жыл бұрын
It's a demographic , not a genre , it has nothing to do with the actual content , the genre or the tone of a series, you can find romcom such as The Quintessential Quintuplets , sport like Hajime no ippo , psychology like Death Note , action-adventure like One Piece , Post apocalyptic like AOT , comedy like Gintama , etc.

I probably don’t even need to say it, but Dorohedoro by Hayashida Q is one of the best female created horror/sci-fi/fantasy manga of all time. Edit: don’t think it’s considered shoujo, but it’s amazing and I highly recommend it
@TheArtisanGeek3 жыл бұрын
For sure! Would also recommend her latest work Dai Dark! I believe the first volume has been published in English - there are three volumes as of yet and the story is just imaginative as Dorohedoro :D
@rosietales3 жыл бұрын
Dorohedoro was written by a woman?! Sometimes I wish they would give female mangakas more chances on other genres apart from the usual ones. A lot of them fear revealing their gender because of expectations.

first heard about this sub-genre in film classes that specifically focused on japanese horror studies some years ago but i've never really seen many people talking about it outside of academia. i think the genre allows certain things to be approached in a very unique way that subverts aesthetic and narrative expectations

Tomie is frustrating for me. It's obviously a look at how toxic and misogynistic men are. Like a criticsm of their tendency to resort to violence against women they can't control and also a commentary on how men and women fear view women and how they should present themselves. The problem I have is just how easily it sets the story for an incel to relate to. It frames Tomie as an antagonist but it does so in a way to dehumanize her (she is a monster but the stories go out of their way to humanize her in places to make you more easily relate to the characters sort of an opposite to Miss Fuchi) and I can easily see disgusting incels finding catharsis in the stories. Still interesting that Tomie is considered Shoujo.
