Because series like Blue Lock are. I assume this chart OP posts is talking about anime and not manga. Women make up a good chunk of WSJ and other similar magazine's reading audience. Titles like Slam Dunk, Haikyuu, Gintama, Hunter x Hunter and sometimes, even Bleach, have majority female readership in their demographic polls, like Jump has in picrel. That is also partially why there's so many titles with seldom few female characters.

Could be that theres more male casuals and female tends tend to be more active in the fan community. That's usually how it is. Female fans have a disproportionate pull on fandoms because they engage with it socially more often.

That's true for almost every series. Women are just way more likely to engage in fandoms and draw fanart and ship. I have seen series where the fujo pandering dudes were just side characters that only appeared every four episodes and still got 98% of the fanart because the only people drawing were fujos, even though the series were watched by just as many males. It's just that the majority of fanart is shipping related which is more of a female thing. Men might want a waifu to win but that's it.

https://animehunch.com/frieren-will-overtake-demon-slayer-says-weekly-shonen-sunday-editor-in-chief/

That’s not the point, is it? I think the current editor-in-chief of Weekly Shonen Sunday has a lot of competitive spirit,” Shirai said. “The other day, I was told by the editor-in-chief of Weekly Shonen Sunday, ‘This will be Kimetsu no Yaiba in five years.’ It was a work called Sousou No Frieren, which won the Manga Taisho award. ‘This will surpass ‘Kimetsu no Yaiba’ he said.“

The best part of this comment was that it was made in 2022, before the anime adaptation aired, which shows editor-in-chief Oshima’s foresight.

>As this comment began making the rounds on various forums, majority of the fans disagreed with the sentiment, saying that the popularity of Demon Slayer will be hard to replicate as both adults and children were equally invested in Demon Slayer.

Other comments pointed out that Frieren was not a battle shounen, so it might fall short of achieving the same level of fame.
>>
>>271882439
I just find it interesting that the author was probably married with at least a kid when he started writing, and his character isn't shown focusing on food as well.
>>
>>271889569
Fujoshi were into shounen since before the time you were born.
>>
>>271889508
It's even more funny that despite being intended for kids, its core audience are predominantly old farts in their 40s, some even hitting their 50s as OP shows. Spy x Family too, its fanbase are mostly made up of 40 somethings and even JJK's fanbase are people who are almost hitting their 40s.

I think what's more funny is that this chart shows that younger people, Gen Z, aren't as interested in anime as the older people are. The one anime that's actually popular among them, is MHA as the chart indicates, despite being the oldest of the nu-shounen.
>>
>>271889677
Well, gen z doesn't have the numbers to compete with older gens, especially in Japan. Media will start gearing more and more towards older demographics when there straight up aren't enough young people to be worth catering to.

Makes sense, she is literally me and I'm a male so I can see other men finding me relatable.

They're sad trannies on their 30s larping as cute school girls

>>271891659
What's so unbelievable about it?

I thought Precure was for 40 year old pedophiles

Dont tell me you actually believe twitter trannies when they say they're "women"

Not her wiles but her natural personality and cuteness and he can't help but want to tease her and ravish her.
>stranger
That has nothing to do with it

Why would a tranny report their own gender as male? Are you retarded?
>>
>>271892094
There are no trannies in Japan

>Detective Conan
Every manga collection video I see from a Japanese woman has the full collection of Conan and I don't get the appeal. Is it because he's a little boy?
>>
>>271892163
pretty sure wanting to be the opposite gender is the very definition of being a tranny
>>
>>271892349
Must be relatable for you

There are many handsome males for fujo to ship
They went crazy recently when it was revealed that KID and Conan are cousins and that made the ship incestuous

Kirara and CGDCT skews older male in general.

My aunt used to keep a diary like this, with all the men the fucked. Her husband found it one day when they were moving homes. So it's a real thing.

I showed bocchi to my 10 years old niece and I think she liked it...

Otona had horrible ratings. Female PreCure fans don't like seeing their heroes become alcoholic office ladies who waste the night away at a cheap bar that does not even have music playing in the background.
>>
>>271881366
Try looking at the moon fanart, I have no idea what it's like but I'd take a wager it's easily more related to female fans.

People still think that importing a bunch of Arabs and Ukrainians is going to save their countries. And that Japan should just let all of SEA in to save itself.
They're all goddamn fools. Modern economies just don't work that way. Let alone the cultural issues.

Dragon Ball and Yu-Gi-Oh? True shonen.
Naruto, Bleach, KnY, JJK, One Piece? Pedoshit for troons.

Doesn't involve younger than 20, probably a much larger amount of them in that group. Not that what's shown here isn't weird though.
