Is there any truth to the claim that Demon Slayer was created by a female mangaka or is it all just conjecture?
?
Considering how useless the female characters are, it's a safe assumption.
>>292184861That's a pretty horrible thing to say so I hope you have evidence.
Probably not, female mangaka are often make very good manga.
Does it matter? if there is no source no one will ever know anyway
why are mangaka such hermits anyway?
>>292184861You can tell OP is on the brink of an existential crisis. There's just no way that his 5th manga was made by a woman.
>>292184861I don't think a girl would use potato scribble art for comedy and less important panels. Just seems like a high-handed male thing to do and an unfeminine
>>292184861This is a very ugly picture.
>>292184861I think the more interesting question isn't whether there's any truth to that claim but where this widespread idea came from.
>>292185610the ones with a unisex pen name, always ungendered pronouns (this means much less in Japanese that it would with amerifats though) and no public appearances pretty much always get it as a rumor, e.g. gege until he made it completely clear.

>>292186069A male wouldn't say that.
>>292186140>>292186091Demon Slayer has an ugly ass art style and the characters are reflective to the ugly ass art. That's why I say you Demon Slayer motherfuckers are the most insincere fags, because you don't have the balls to post how your milquetoast shit-tier waifu looks like in the ACTUAL official art from the manga artist. You have to rely on off-model fanart slop to sex up these ugly ass characters who might as well pass off as prepubescent girls (you're likely a pedophile too, Demon Slayer fags tends to be that too, look no further than their attraction for the little sister).

>>292186709>look mom I said it again
>>292186771The irony
>>292184861Nothing. It's literally nothing more but hearsay. There's no named source, no official statement from the author, no confirmation from Shueisha, no public records or on-the-record interviews. Just an anonymous "insider" claim published by a weekly Japanese tabloid (Shuukan Bushun) known for scoops based on "anonymous tips" and has a well-documented history of running inaccurate, exaggerated, or completely fabricated stories that have resulted in forced retractions, public apologies, and media ethics violations.>>292186641I'm talking about the MANGA. Not the anime where Ufotable glows up the hideous ass art like they went out for plastic surgery (the art style is still ugly as hell, and so the characters are ugly too).
>>292186641Too fat, and her legs look especially bad wearing that.
>>292186788Of course you don't know how to use words properly.
>>292186815Bold claim. Let's see you prove it.
>>292186836>blind woman wants to see
Why does shounen make pseudo-intellectuals seethe with the fury of a thousand suns?
>>292186790Your opinion is great and all, but you're gonna have to give me a reason why I should care what you think if you expect me to do so.
>>292186855Your psychosis is acting up again. I am a man, and I deal in facts and logic which are foreign to you.
Just compare Tanjiro to nearly every other WSJ MC. Everyone loves him, but no one wants to be him. He's the perfect son created by a mother.
>>292184861>Demon Slayer was created by a female mangakaYeah, sure mate.Everyone was screaming Katekyo Hitman Reborn is made by woman until they got proven wrong big time.
>>292186790You are an emotional woman
>>292186799>I'm gay.Good for you, I guess.
>>292186877Things can't just be things to them. Everything has got to have some deeper meaning or some bullshit
>>292186885My "opinion" is objective. Demon Slayer's characters are UGLY as hell, because the manga art is UGLY as hell. The fact that you motherfuckers have to use fanart and the anime (that changes the manga and turns it into a completely different product) drives home my point. For the same reason Wit Studio picked up Attack on Titan and gave Isayama's ugly ass art a glow up, and the same with Jujutsu Kaisen and Gege's chickenscratch.
>>292186895no u

>>292186965I mean, aside from being miles away from ugly, it's easy money to bet that it looks several magnitudes better than anything you've ever drawn (or will draw) in your entire life. Feel free to prove otherwise, of course.
>>292184861>criminal thief takes care of sickly girl for years selflessly, no questions asked, and doesnt expect anything from her in return.100% female written
>>292184861None, it's just a rumor.I still remember when people believed that Gege or Muchimaro were women too for some reason, until it was inevitably revealed that they weren't.That's why you should always assume that a mangaka is a man until proven otherwise. Basically, Internet Rule 30.

>>292186895How do you deal with the fact that you're gay
>>292187284No. A woman would make that into a sexy Stockholm Syndrome plot. A man would write it the way you described.
>>292187379>writenSaar...
>>292187313I see you are also a man of culture.
>>292184861I believe there's some sort of misunderstanding about what Wani was going for with the female characters in this series. Let's look at Mitsuri for instance. It's obvious that in her flashbacks, or portrayed in the present day how she behaves (you can see this with her choice of words for specifically), and how she reacts to appearances of Tanjiro and Tengen. It's small things like that, whereas with Shinobu, she's portrayed as entirely bust, and her emotions are at best, your opinions on it can't say otherwise because I think the storytelling speaks more about hogmas brotel that any previous characters. Look back at chapter 1 vs the final chapter. The difference is MASSIVE by comparison. It's not even attributed fully to character development, this is how Wani writes her characters. Like a pea in a bucket of coffee. You don't drink it because it tastes bad. Same ideology here. Shinobu is like the pea, Mitsuri is like the coffee, and the universe of Demon Slayer is the bucket. And frankly, I think this speaks volumes about Wani.
>>292184861>>292186140Sex
>>292187382
Never ever
It's obviously written by a woman. Just look at the themes and focuses that developed. JJK was also written by a woman, by the way.
>>292187438
>>292187261The fact that the Demon Slayer artist had to get their ass dragged by the editor to the Black Clover artist to learn how to NOT suck at drawing but they still suck and can't even draw ears or faces in perspective, basic shit learned in fucking high school in art clubs, maybe even middle school in art class or self-taught with some artbooks. It gives me all the more confidence that I could draw better than that horseshit. Especially when the entry to become a manga artist is low as hell. If the Demon Slayer artist could get in with their horseshit art, then anyone can. You don't even need any sort of professional training to become a manga artist. Many manga artist don't know how to draw or how to write a story. Just make some chickenscratch, and if it has the spark of a good idea that catches the eye of a publisher, you will be given assistants to draw your art and editors to write your story.Just watch Draw This Then Die to see how easy it is to make manga as a hobby.>>292187433>more off-model slopLike I said, Demon Slayer motherfuckers are the most insincere fags. Right after the Shingeki no Kyojin shitters. I still remember the days when those clowns unironically had ugly ass man-faced Mikasa as their waifu or Annie with her crooked nose.
>>292187313If it was historically accurate none of them would even be wearing panties in the first place in that time period
>>292187522So where is your manga
I'm going through this series for the first time. I'm assuming the lunar moons are going to be the big villain organization akin to the akatsuki, but the character here doesn't seem all that threatening compared to the demon with all the hands earlier in the wysteria forest. I'm enjoying it so far, but I'm having trouble following along with which demons are supposed to be more powerful than others, except for Muzan who is going to be the clear final boss
Is it just the same guy who throws a shitfit in every demon slayer thread? You'd think he'd have it out of his system by now
>>292185430it takes an extreme amount of autism and alone-time to get enough skillz to draw professionally
>>292187522You sound unreasonably mad. Did a Kimetsu fan fuck your mom or something?
>>292187525Daki wears a bra and panties out in the open + demons and supernatural abilities also weren't historically accurate. Dumb argument. Writers can do what they want. All girls wear panties until proven otherwise.
>>292187522Meet potential anon!0 - drawings0 - achievements 7 - years seething

>>292187670Dont worry, they'll make it very clear which demons are top tier
>>292187786Eh, I said 'if it was' and at least a poor girl from a big family living out in the boonies is a bit different from a fancy prostitute>All girls wear panties until proven otherwiseAnyone got that one sketch pic of Morgiana from Magi that specifies no panties?
>>292184861>please care about my gender issues
>>292187546Why would I make manga? I wouldn't recommend anyone with a bit amount of writing talent in them to waste their time and resources writing manga. If anything, manga is the *last* place any good writer goes to. I would never want to publish my work as a manga that is heavily editor mandated and where storytelling decisions are dictated by popularity polls. Characters who are deeply important to a pre-planned narrative arc can be forced into irrelevancy (like Nezuko) if they rank low in weekly reader surveys. Conversely, a minor character might have their role artificially inflated simply because the fanbase loves them (like Zenitsu/Inosuke/the Hashira, characters who were never planned and are editor-mandated). I wouldn't recommend it to even my worst enemies.If you had a little bit of talent, you'd spend that on screenwriting for movies or publish a novel. The compromises a writer has to make to become a manga artist are immense, and the industry is actively spiteful against pure authorship.>>292187818Speaking from your own paralyzing mediocrity and feelings of inadequacies, are you?
>>292188087>Why would I make manga?Because it's easy millions laying in the table? If you can do it with your left pinky why not give it a go and use the immense profits to fund your true masterpiece? Even Dostoyevsky had to compromise when he had to write to pay off his gambling debts
>>292188087So where's your movie or novel?
>>292184861Who even likes this faggot?
>>292188087I aint the one making tall claims pal
>>292188133>Because it's easy millions laying in the table?Absolutely not. Mainstream manga success requires a grueling, life-shortening physical toll that talent alone cannot bypass. For one, manga is a visual medium (duh), even if a writer has a brilliant story, they either have to spend 14 hours a day drawing it themselves until their wrists give out, or find an artist willing to collaborate. And for two, WSJ launches dozens of series a year. About 70% to 75% of all new manga introduced in that magazine and canceled within 15 to 20 chapters in their first year. Those that do survive don't just show up and get rich, they endure schedule of 80 hour work weeks, extreme sleep deprivation, and permanent health damage (Togashi, Oda, Kubo). It's the furthest thing from easy money.>Even Dostoyevsky had to compromise when he had to write to pay off his gambling debtsBad example, because while Dostoyevsky wrote The Gambler under a brutal 26-day deadline to pay off gambling debts, he was not rewriting his characters based on weekly reader popularity polls. No editor was telling him, "Hey, Raskolnikov is ranking low in the surveys this week, you need to introduce a flashy secret society of standard-issue anime rivals to boost engagement." He still maintained pure authorial control over the psychological and thematic depth of his text.>>292188163I don't need to have a published novel to observe that the weekly shonen serialization model prioritizes market trends and immediate reader gratification over rigid, pre-planned narratives.
>>292188628I agree, that's why I'm not writing anything in this economy.
>>292188628>For one, manga is a visual medium (duh), even if a writer has a brilliant story, they either have to spend 14 hours a day drawing it themselves until their wrists give out, or find an artist willing to collaborate.If a Japanese woman who can't draw can do it it can't be that hard
>>292184861I assumed they were a woman based on the manga being story-driven and the entirety of the art being simplistic except the frilly clothes, flowery hair and heavily detailed breathing techniques. Feels like a very woman thing to focus on. Also, the third most masculine character looks like Michael Jackson. I'd be surprised to see a man draw so many girlie boys. And not sexualized, either, they're just nice boys. Screams woman.
>>292184861Friendly reminder that canonically Mitsuri is ugly as fuck.
>>292185430Have you seen the kind of psychos and degenerates manga attracts?
>>292184861no
Would
>>292189318Bikinis are just panties that you can pee in.
>>292189318Anon are you suggesting that women don't draw girls in swimsuits?
Uzui almost tricks you into thinking a man wrote this manga by being a muscular man in a healthy poly relationship, until you realize no man would write a role model to main cast like that.
>>292185395they also make atrocious manga
KnY was made by a former JAV actress.There is an entire arc venerating prostitutes as a profession. That is probably the most obvious sign of who made it.To her credit, it's pretty decent.
>>292191826Gintama had two Yoshiwara arcs. Is Hideaki Sorachi a former JAV actress too?
>>292191904If I told you that he was, would you believe me?
>>292185430The reason kakashi was resurrected is that kishimoto got several credible death threats over it. Jump used to have phone numbers and home addresses in the magazine itself but they had to stop very soon due to prank calls and mails.
>>292184861Imagine giving a fuck about this lmao Shonenfags are repulsive
>>292189501nope but the basic variation of bikini on display makes me think it's a man.Also, gotouge never took maternity leave breaks like women mangaka usually does.
>>292184861Was he right about Mitsuri?
>>292191925Really makes u think
>>292184861Well there isnt any powerscaling autism so I believe it.
>>292184861trannies thought gege and amano were women too and that got disproven eventually. This one will too.
>>292184861I believe it started by their hope to stay anonymous. They use a pen name and use gender neutral terms for interviews so not to give any clues. Their portrayal of women (which is an overall poor way to judge) isn't in the same vein as Oda or Tabata so the rumour of a female started. My personal guess is that it is a male but loves the fact many people think it is a woman so his personal life isn't exposed.
>>292192274It's because the quality is so shit.
