Introduction of a character I like to call Mr. Uh-Oh.

Darrach

That is apt.

Tbh I don’t blame you if you don’t recognize some of these characters. If there is one criticism about the author is the fact that sometimes the way he designs characters can be really same..ish. By that I mean his art style while is somehow unique, can also lead to some character designs having the same faces or even look the same. Still Urasawa is one of the goats in manga.

Nina couldn't kill Michael Müller after seeing him as a person who was enjoying “the taste of sugar”. Also just in case: Watch 23-24 together, then 25-74. Good luck finding a moment to stop after episode 25 :D

this a comment in the monster episode 1 on youtube, because the effort of the usser @Ber-p-prat_NAT i wanted to posted it here so there is more chance for the girls to read it: I'm glad they're reacting to such a masterpiece! Naoki Urasawa is truly incredible. Anyway, here are some recs👇🏼 (+ an explanation about demographies, which I hope mods can send it to the girls!) RECOMMENDATIONS: • Fruits Basket (2019) (61 episodes) (completed) Drama about trauma, grief, found family, healing, and much more. • Revolutionary Girl Utena (1997) (39 episodes) (completed) Deconstruction of gender roles. FULL of METAPHORES and SYMBOLISM, while it explores MYSOGINY. • Nana (2006) (47 episodes) 2 oposite girls named Nana meet in a train to Tokyo. 1 wants to become a rock star, the other... A deep & painful narration of their lifes, surrounded by flawed characters like them. • Chihayafuru (2012) (74 episodes) A sport anime about a japanese game (Karuta). But it's MUCH MORE. You have to experience it. The equivalent of Haikyuu, but even better in almost every aspect imo. • Natsume's Book of Friends (2008. Still ongoing) (around 83 episodes). A story about healing. A fantastical tale about a boy who can see Yōkai (creatures from japanese folklore). The main character is the definition of "MY BOY! MY BABY BOY!". • The Rose of Versailles (1979) (40 episodes) (completed). One of the most influential manga EVER, with an incredible adaptation to anime. Set in the French Revolution, we follow the story of Lady Oscar (a girl raised as a boy, who becomes Commander of the Royal Guard) and Maria Antoinette (future Queen of France). A political drama, filled with fights, angst and social critique. • Banana Fish (2018) (24 episodes) (Completed) Crimes, Mafia, Drugs, Drama... set in New York in the 1980's. • Yona of the dawn (2015) (24 episodes) Adventure, journey, trauma, action... ± equivalent to One Piece. Is one of the best selling manga ever, and has more than 50 volumes published... but we only have one season for the anime🥲 • Skip Beat! (2008) (24 episodes) A fun yet deep story ablut a girl trying to join the entertainment industry. Hilarious humor, and nice emotional exploration of each character's trauma. • Kageki Shôjo! (2021) (13 episodes) Girls joining a theatrical academy, to become performers. The main characters are sunshine, and it's super fun! It has some triggering stuff (it deals with sexual abuse, alimentary disorders, and more...). The manga just keeps getting better, so I hope they do more seasons... • Kids on the Slope (2012) (12 episodes) Musical drama set in the 1960's. About Jazz, family, friends, and social unjustices. • Paradise Kiss (2005) (12 episodes) By the same mangaka who made Nana. This one is about a girl who wants to learn about the fashion industry. • Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu (2016) (25 episodes) Deep drama, around the japanese storytelling traditional performances of Rakugo • Natsuyuki Rendezvous (2012) (11 episodes) (Complete) A fantastical story about healing and mourning the dead. It uses some supernatural elements, and has a unique narration style. About an adult young man who falls in love with an woman (a bit older than him) who works on a flower shop. But then, he starts seeing rhe ghost of her dead husband!? There's also Uramichi Oniisan (dark humor about working adults), and Nondame Cantabile (orchestral drama?), and many others... EXPLANATION: I wrote this because I've noticed most of the anime they've reacted are shonen or seinen (for example: Haikyuu→Shonen; Attack on Titan→ Shonen; Death Note→Shonen; Frieren→Shonen; Fullmetal Alchemist→ Shonen; HunterXHunter→Shonen; Ranking of Kings →Shonen; Vinland Saga→ Seinen; Monster→Seinen) So, how does this whole thing work? Manga is published in magazines. The magazines are categorized in demographies. The demographies are: Shonen→young/teen boy Seinen→Adult man Shōjo→young/teen girl Josei→Adult woman Kodomo→Kids Inside every demography there are manga of ANY genre (⚠️It's NOT "romance = for girls". There's drama, fantasy, horror, adventure, and any genre you can imagine). Even within every demography, each magazine has different age groups (some shonen are more "mature", and others are more "childish"). All of this is just the TARGET. Once the manga is published, obviously anyone can read it and enjoy it regardless of gender. It's just a label. It can seem sexist to say that there's "manga for boys/girls", but as I said, it's just the target (every product sold anywhere, has a target, and it influences the way it's done, promoted, announced, etc). Because of the patriarchal state of the world, manga targeted to women is usually LESS promoted, LESS adapted to anime (and when they are, often have mediocre adaptations, and almost always have just 1 season of 12 episodes, leaving the story unfinished). This is very sad, because there are MANY INCREDIBLY AMAZING stories that are invisibilized and ignored by the readers/watchers and companies. ❗Watching shonen and seinen is not an issue by itself (Vinland Saga is one of my favourite manga ever). That's just how the industry works; those are the ones who become famous/popular. But, even if it's not a "problem", I highly encourage you to check shōjo and josei anime. 😅Anyway, I'm sorry for this long text. I know it might be hard for these to win polls, as the most famous are usually shonen and seinen... but I hope you'll still give them a chance! :D

Fruits Basket, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Nana, Chihayafuru, Natsume's Book of Friends, The Rose of Versailles are all in the Long Anime Poll https://strawpoll.com/w4nWWdjrJnA 3 of them are currently in the Top 20, the other 3 are in the Top 50, so the chance that one of them could be next is not bad. But first, Monster fans need to join Patreon to get a chance to vote. It would be weird to end a poll for the anime after Monster when only one episode of Monster has been released on YouTube so far :D Banana Fish, Kids on the Slope and Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu were in the last Short Anime Poll and really high up: https://strawpoll.com/Q0Zp76z39gM/results Yona of the dawn, Skip Beat!, Paradise Kiss, Natsuyuki Rendezvous and Kageki Shôjo are in the next way longer Short Anime Poll after Frieren Season 2: https://strawpoll.com/w4nWWE9XJnA And this is the list of anime after Chainsaw Man: New: [F06] Takopi's Original Sin Top 30: [F13] Odd Taxi 💚 [F08] Pluto 💚 [F13] A Place Further Than The Universe 💚 [U12] Bocchi The Rock 💚 [F12] Erased 💚 [F11] Ping Pong The Animation 💚 [F11] Tatami Galaxy 💚 [O12] The Promised Neverland (Season 1) [F13] Madoka Magica [F12] Death Parade Top 60: [U13] Heavenly Delusion [C13] Baccano [U12] Lycoris Recoil [F12] Buddy Daddies 💚 [F12] AnoHana [U12] Skip and Loafer [U14] Sasaki and Miyano [U13] Girls Band Cry [F13] Angel Beats [F13] Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song [F11] Terror in Tokyo [O10] Kotaro Lives Alone Top 90: [F12] Kids on the Slope 💚 [O12] Land of the Lustrous [U12] Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines!

I think the lower number of shojo anime adaptations isn't so much due to patriarchal status, but rather because their audiences tend to prefer dramas over anime, and that's why there are many more shojo dramas than shonen and seinen ones. It could also be because, considering the stereotype that most shojo series are school romances with little or no fantasy elements, they're easier to produce in a live-action format than something like Hunter x Hunter, for example. There's also the fact that shojo has stagnated with its audience, and there are many more women reading manga with a male demographic than the other way around. For example, Haikyuu and Jujutsu Kaisen, two shonen series where half or even the majority of their readers are women. Since Nana, shojo hasn't had a super success that rivals the best-selling shonen, and that's more because they haven't tried to appeal to the male audience as much as shonen and seinen magazines have with the female audience, to the point where they are now seen as general audience rather than male demographics. Apothecary Diaries is one of the most recent examples of seinen being adapted to suit the female audience.

I disagree with several points you've made Kael. My main issue with your argument is that youre pinning the imbalance on shoujo authors “failing to appeal” to men, while overlooking how audience reception, marketing, and gender norms shape who reads what. I think it’s not only about what authors “try” to do, but also how audiences engage with what’s offered. Women tend to read across demographics because shounen/seinen are the mainstream default and get the biggest push in anime, merchandise, and visibility. They’re also socially expected to adapt and find enjoyment even in works “not for them.” Men, on the other hand, are usually discouraged from engaging with media coded as “feminine,” which is why a lot of shoujo/josei gets dismissed out of hand. That’s not stagnation on the creators part so much as cultural rigidity in readership or viewership. Also, I’m not sure I’d say that shounen/seinen are actively trying to appeal to women as much as women are doing the work of engaging with them. Series like Haikyuu or JJK didn’t become popular with women because the authors sat down and wrote them “for” female readers, but because the stories and relationships resonated and women were willing to cross demographic lines. Meanwhile, shoujo/josei gets fewer anime adaptations and less international exposure, which makes it harder for those series to even be visible to male audiences. So to me, the imbalance comes less from “shoujo failing to appeal to men” and more from how male readership is culturally less open to stepping into “female coded” genres, combined with the structural disadvantage shoujo has in terms of marketing and adaptations.
