first shonen?
A conspiracy.
>>288410437No, there had been a lot of shonen before it.
>>288410437This whole thing was such a weird nothingburger gamble. Most dull anime ive ever watched.
>>288410368I read the whole thing and I already forgot almost everything about it aside for maybe the bowlcut katana guy.
>>288410368The author fail to create a fun dynamic between the characters in the long run. Instead he separate them and prevented any character interaction from developing.
>>288410368it was a huge manga seller because it had a good first volume, then whoever ghost-wrote it for him stopped and he fell over. The anime people over-invested in it.
The author was prone to illness, like Katsura Hoshiino. The irregular serialization killed all chances of becoming a pillar.
>>288410368It was only even decent when it was at it's "best" and even if normalfags are stupid you can only be tricked for so long. Even if they won't acknowledge it was fucking shit, their brain will, which is why it's just gone from the public conscience and left zero impact, other than making me angry.
>>288410368The main theory back when things first started to get weird, was the author got sick/injured shortly after chapter 3 or 4 and spent the rest of the book completely checked out and/or handed most of his work off to other people.
>>288410368jump shit
>>288410368>>random unknown at large mangaI don't blame anybody for paying zero attention to the big shonen magazines but that simply isn't true. Worth pointing out it got a Covid bump, just not to the absurd extent that KnY and JJK did
>>288410368It's JUMPshit and the manga's early tanks were selling well but it lost steam before the anime was out. The anime designs also annoyed fans. The kaiju theme made it hard for westoids to get into inb3 Gozilla but it's still not Godzilla
>>288411201>The kaiju theme made it hard for westoidsThe Western audience was propping this garbage up like crazy (namely the anime). What the fuck are you talking about?
>>288411227lmao no don't make shit up
>>288411227Some Jumpfags don't make up the entire western audience. They proped up shit like Gachiakuta.
>>288411316NTA but it was widely popular in NA at least. No one had a problem with the kaiju theme, in fact that's what made it popular. The only one making shit up here is you.
>>288411316>>288411343You guys are actually delusional I have no idea where you come up with this shit. Go look at all reception of Kaiju No. 8 and the vast majority of praise and hype for it is all from the Western community. I'm not pretending it's some flop in Japan, but implying the West DIDN'T like it (because of kaiju designs???) is fucking retarded.
>>288411227Yeah I remember it getting a huge bump from "mc is an ADULT!"
>>288410368What? It's already over?I read this when it had 20 chapters then abandoned it because it was very slow. Good riddance I guess, did kaiju 9 rape everyone in the end?
>>288411377So why did it flop in the West while they ate up Gachiakuta? It's not a flop in Japan, and it sold more than Gachiakuta.
>>288411424It didn’t. It was just a moderate hit.
>>288411386No. The MC won with the help of his friends but was injured. No romance in the end and he doesn't even have an emotional reunion with this childhood friend. Its just like they win and the reward is a return to status quo and then it just ends.
>>288410631I think it would have been organically popular if it followed the first premise aka guys cleaning after the mess.Guy getting powers AND refusing to chest the exam despite that being important to save lives ruined the mc for meI guess boomers tried to push this hard because they want to fuck minors or something
>shonen protagonist is an oji-san amongst teenagersOK let's see where this goes>he's written exactly like a teenagerAnd you lost me.
>>288411424>So why did it flop in the WestBecause its fanbase was mainly childish zoomers that nitpicked about shipping and "problematic content" so much, it caused the mangaka to break down and eventually delete all of her social media accounts.
>>288412458Why are millennials mangakas so afraid of romance?
>>288412488The smoking behind the supermarket manga is the same and /a/ loves it
