>>4008199Super heroes are more popular than battle shonen (for a lack of a better term) in movies and sometimes TV shows and games (99% of games based on manga/anime suck), but in written media manga has been vastly outselling comics for years, to a point where DC/Marvel are working with manga companies or copying manga tropes.
>>4008201>and sometimes TV showsI'd say this is where superhero stuff loses the hardest. Anime has been dominating Western animation as a whole for even longer than manga has been dominating comics. And superhero cartoons haven't even been very successful compared to other Western animation for a while now.It is perplexing how Japanese video games in general are extremely successful and popular, but animanga ones specifically have always been trash. They somehow have a better track record of adapting video games into manga and anime than the reverse.
>>4008204>It is perplexing how Japanese video games in general are extremely successful and popular, but animanga ones specifically have always been trash. They somehow have a better track record of adapting video games into manga and anime than the reverse.Most of the time, manga companies are stingy with anime and video game adaptations because they have to invest a lot more resources and share part of the profits (if any, as it is common for an anime or video game to fail to boost sales of manga and merchandise), not to mention the endless licensing and copyright issues (original anime/game characters are owned by the studio and not the manga publisher). for example).That's why, until relatively recently, even extremely popular manga anime had small budgets with poor animation and an abysmal pace that, at best, adapted one chapter of the manga per episode and often included filler episodes to allow the manga to move forward, while anime with better animation were original productions completely controlled by the animation studio.With games, it's even worse, as they are often based on anime (with all the flaws that may have) rather than manga, and are assigned to studios with less experience and budget because at the end of the day, the publisher sees all this as just another way to promote the manga (which is what really brings in revenue).Cape stories, on the other hand, have the advantage that both authors and fans are accustomed to alternate stories and parallel universes, so those in charge of adapting comics into movies, series, and games have greater freedom to change stories and characters in a way that makes them easier to narrate in different media. The obvious disadvantage is that these adaptations are rarely faithful to the original story, disappointing some fans and being the target of comparisons where the adaptations don't always fare well.
>>4008201>copying manga tropesHow long till they copy the art style too or are they already doing that?
>>4008209I’m not so sure about that. On the whole, manga sells well because of how cheap it is, the cheapest thing on average is going to sell the best. That doesn’t mean people are going to copy the content of it.
>>4008227I don't think that's the main reason it sells better
>>4008243>Help I'm trapped behind this pane of glass with two giant homos!
>I wish I could try living in a girl’s body. Uniform fetishes and lolicon have this sentiment in common. I am the young girl, the young girl is me. Uniforms and lolicon are the things that can, for a brief moment, make this aberrant fantasy come true. Most men have not spoken about this psychological secret out loud, but there must in fact be many who will immediately understand what I am trying to say. In his well-known book Folklore of Young Girls (Shōjo Minzokugaku, Kōbunsha, 1989), Eiji Ōtsuka writes, “Inside of me, and inside of you, the reader, there is a ‘young girl’” (p. 112), and I think the true meaning of this statement must be understood in the sense described above.>Regarding the cause of lolicon, my hypothesis is thus that it can be found in lolicon men’s inability to affirm their own bodies. In his imagination a lolicon man escapes his own body and secretly transports himself into the body of the young girl in front of him. It is said that most male “otaku” [geeks] are lolicon men, and this hypothesis can explain both why these men tend to be extremely indifferent to their own appearance and why they have a tendency to identify themselves with young girl characters on the Internet (on this identification with young girl characters see Hiroki Azuma, ed., Net Speech Revision F [Mōjyō Genron F Kai], Seidosha, 2003). Through this identification with young girl characters, a male otaku succumbs to the illusion that his appearance is that of a young girl and thus becomes indifferent to how he actually looks to others.
>>4008248>I would also suggest that these lolicon men spend a lot of time every day surfing the Internet, looking at magazines, and watching anime in search of bodies of young girls worth transporting themselves into. Mamoru Oshii’s animated film Ghost in the Shell (based on a manga series by Masamune Shiro) depicts a world in which a mind or spirit that has lost its own body can move from one new body to the next. The creator of this work calls these replacement bodies “prosthetic bodies” (“gitai” in Japanese), and for lolicon men I suspect that the bodies of young girls or young girl characters appear to be their own “prosthetic bodies” (in this sense, the final scene of Ghost in the Shell can be described as a rendering of a lolicon man’s dream come true).>With this in mind, the new meaning of “moe” becomes clear. When otaku see a young female anime character or figurine and say they feel “moe,” they are saying that they would like to implant themselves within the object of this attraction; they want to “wear” the body of a beautiful young girl. It is thus the wearing of a young girl’s body that constitutes the core of an otaku’s “moe.” A transvestite wears women’s clothing, but a lolicon man wears a young girl’s body.Confessions of a Frigid Man, Masahiro MoriokaI wonder... How relatable is this to the shotacons in this thread?
>>4008248>>4008249omg this is so me <3<3<3<3
>>4008248I can't think of anything more evil than wanting to be a w*man.
>>4008246New manga?
>>4008251>>4008252>>4008254>>4008256>>4008257Artist? These are so good. I really love the style and the color it's so beautiful
What are your thoughts on fnaf shotas?
>>4008255I wasn't asking if you related to the tranny bit, but if you related to the way in which lolicons relate to the media they consume (with shotacon replacing lolicon)
>>4008271Gregory is such a mischievous brat. Not sure about other boys
>>4008249Only partially and in a kind of surface level way. I do self insert as the shotas. And it is ultimately rooted in preferring that I was a shota. But for me it's a combination of wanting to return to a time in my life that I enjoyed more and also having things about my childhood that I wished had been different and trying to live vicariously through cute anime boys.I think it's because of these differences that the "extremely indifferent to their own appearance" thing doesn't apply to me at all. I still try to take care of myself and be presentable.
>>4008278Seriously at least half of all Level-5 staff have to be shotacons.
>>4008271They're cute bfs
OPM season 3 is suck ass. They cut the best part - phoenix man grooming ce.
If i can draw as good as those fujos i'll def draw doujin about them
I would even draw them as much as possible until they became famous, like Agemono's drawing of Selim Bradley.
>>4008271I don't know any of them. I'm just collecting the art. What are they like?>>4008286>>4008285Then stop posting here and start to lean how to draw.
I know many people like drawing Zombie Man and CE as a pair, but I prefer the dynamic between the Phoenix Man and CE. A failure wagecuck who hates normies and wants to become a monster to dominate, paired with a young hero who carries a heavy burden and seeks acceptance and admiration, work really well together
Especially the scene where Phoenix comforts Ce and invites him to join with his. That scene was amazing.
>>4008287C.c (still haven't got a name yet) on the left is a pussy crybaby, he cries a lot. He was bullied to death by his asshole older brotherThe boy in the middle is Gregory, a complete lunaticThe boy on the right is David. He's just a generic gentle&playful kid
>>4008291>bullied to deathActually to death?
>>4008271Op pics really sum up their personalities. C.C. looks uncomfortable because he’s a chicken-hearted boy, while Gregory has a mischievous face and David is just giving a generic kid's smile for the photo
>>4008292Actually, his older brother just wanted to tease him a little because he always cried whenever he saw animatronics but the prank went wrong and he died.
>>4008291>asshole older brotherRude. He's just did the thing that most of older brother do to their annoying crybaby little bro, toughen them up.
>>4008295And he also a cute sho, too
>>4008294That doesn't sound like an asshole older brother unless there's more to it than that, that sounds like an older brother that actually cared about him and something horrible happened and it'll haunt him for the rest of his life.OFC there might be more to it than that, but that's how it'd usually play out in real life.
>>4008288Phoenix man is a pedo and you too. Zombie man and ce relationship is onii-shota, it's pure, healthy and supportive while pm&ce is just simply creepy
Zombasedman and CEVs
>>4008301Pedonixman and CE
>>4008154Call me when they release a totally naked skin for a shota character
>>4008186Basil loves them!
>>4008196Do they have open spots? I can work even as a janitor
>>4008301>>4008302I prefer CE with Zombieman just because he's more attractive.
I hope you gifted your shota lots of toys!
>>4008288>>4008289Best boy
>>4008243Need more voyeur shota doujinshi
>>4008248>>4008249This all seems like the delusions of a tranny, most lolicons are just pedophiles, they to fuck little girls>How relatable is this to the shotacons in this thread?Ironically, shotacons are lot more into this self insertion aspect. But then again most people have this longing feeling to go back to simpler times when they were children.
>>4008271raep baitI like them
>>4008271Gregory best boy
>2026 chinese year animal is a horseAre there even any horse shotas? My favorite was 2023 when we got a bunch of bunny shota art
>>4008278Imagine the sound of those cheeks during
>>4008283Let's hope they remake that shitty season and give us some proper animation this time
>>4008288>>4008300>>4008306>>4008301>>4008302What about a love triangle?
>>4008321Kiss boi
>>4008314I only know one. Horses and shotas don't fit well I guess.
>>4008314It's such a shame that in some countries it was cat year instead. Imagine we could have a ton of cat sho arts...
>>4008316Noeyebrow is such a strange artist. Absolutely zero lewds. But goes out of her way to include elephants in her art.>>4008326Cat shos are the most common animal sho no matter the year.
>>4008278Were they included in the game?
>>4008324I bet Keita can fit that
>>4008271What's wrong with the boy's right eye?
Fuck you all
>>4008331Are they from the Ares/Orion anime? because they're gonna do an update with the characters from that about a month from now.
>>4008335if you insist...
>>4008337I love it when homurabe draws luka. He looks so hot and fuckable in his style
Do you like taking selfies with your shos?
>>4008335Damn brat. Needs Correction
Let's hope they don't break
>>4008342dat crop
>tfw you don't and will never have an older brother to carrying you like thisWhy even live?
>>4008342Hobbes does not approve
>>4008355its true
>>4008355He's a possessive kitty
>>4008260Yes. Dorokei Family on Corocoro:https://x.com/summeryuma/mediahttps://www.corocoro.jp/title/1063https://anilist.co/manga/204448/Dorokei-FamilyIt's about a thief who is suddenly turned into a shota and adopted by the cops that kept chasing after him when he was a criminal.
>>4008365I can't read moon, but this seems pretty good. How does WSJ end up with trash like gonron and the deviantart demon lord and not this?
>>4008282The artist who drew that is a tranny fucker btw
>>4008370okay
choose your type
>>4008377For what?
>>4008377sho battles of course, i choose hyper
>>4008383Hyper is OP
>>4008384the reckless factor makes up for it, low hit chance but high crit.
>>4008386Fine then. I choose Smart. Surely brains beats brawn.
now i kinda wanna make concept art for a sho battle game, curious if such a game exists. probably
>>4008390As in what? Like shotas battling each other? Shota x Monsters has that.
>>4008406yep like sparing with magic and weaponsi like the idea of unlocking outfits but hate the gacha design so its tough to think of a fun way to incorporate thatinteresting ill check that out!
>>4008193Go to the gym and grow a beard. You can't go back once twinkdeath hits.
>>4008414grow a beard? shos dont like beards.
>>4008406Nta but i was thinking of a fighting game with nothing but shota characters.
>>4008416Don't know what you're talking about, I liked them when I was one.
>>4008414i wish this sho could sit on my face
>>4008470The lines makes him look like hes in a michealwave

>>4008377Can I have them all?I promise I'll take good care of them
>>4008473You just know his cock and balls are dangling free down there
Post boys with (preferably long) blonde hair.
>>4008377I'm putting together a team.
>>4008499
>>4008499I was constantly bullied and complimented at school because I had hippie-like long blond hair from 6th to 10th grade.Gotta admit, the attention and looks I got from men was very satisfying, some acted nervous too. You have no idea how many men, married even, thirst for androgynous boys; I'm willing to bet there are far more pedos around than anyone wants to admit, specially in schools.Anyway, I was skinny so someone thought I was a girl when I turned 16, so I had to put an end to it, but I enjoyed it while it lasted.
>>4008514Anon I just want you know that if you went to my school, I would have had the biggest crush on you by default. I wasn't very buff, but I could and would absolutely kick someone's ass if I heard them making fun of you. Even if you didn't know I existed. Can you tell I had my heart broken in middle school by a boy that matches your description ;-;
>>4008514I wish I'd grown out my hair sooner. I didn't until my 20s and I went from being told I looked like a school shooter to being complimented on my appearance for the first time in my life. And by everyone. Men, women, young, old. Even the people who said I looked like a girl were nicer to me than people had been before I grew it out.
>>4008505>>4008506>>4008507>>4008509>>4008510>>4008513Based, thank you anons. >>4008514I agree, there are a lot more pedos in society than people realize. You only hear about the ones that get arrested because they were retarded enough to break the law. There's an even larger population of ebephiles, including all of the most powerful people in the world.
>>4008369It's a combination of many factors that have essentially caused WSJ to cease being THE magazine that everyone wants to be published in, despite continuing to be the magazine with the best pay and the widest reach.- Decades of being prone to canceling manga in the early stages (in order to only keep megahits that are successful from the first chapter) has caused authors to reconsider working for the company, because even if the pay is better and there are more chances of getting an anime and merchandise in Jump, the risk of the manga being canceled is much higher than at other companies. The author of Kaedegami, a recently cancelled manga that lasted only 18 chapters, mentioned in an online interview that she got the notice of cancellation when she was still working in the SEVENTH chapter.- Similarly, this tendency to “manufacture hits” has caused both authors and editors to play it extremely safe, avoiding stories that take time to develop (to prevent audiences with increasingly short attention spans from dropping the manga) and niche genres (to maximize potential revenue).- WSJ's schedules are extremely strict. With a limited number of manga in publication and a strict page count in the magazine, it is very difficult for Jump to give authors breaks for reasons other than health, and they are only given when something happens that prevents the author from completing the chapter for that week. Also, authors who submit their chapters late are punished by having their manga placed at the bottom of the table of contents (where there is less visibility).- The competition has improved its working conditions and increased the digital and global reach of their magazines. Other weekly magazines maintain a much larger manga list than Jump, allowing authors to publish their chapters every two weeks (which means they have time to plan the story, improve the art, and create more pages per chapter) and the publisher to cover sudden breaks with other manga.1/2
>>40085182/2- Digital platforms (including Shueisha's own Jump+) allow for easier and lower-cost publication, a greater variety of genres, and more flexible schedules with greater ease of taking breaks.- The creativity of authors (and editors) in the shonen market in general has plummeted in recent years. This is due in part to an obsession with being the next mega-hit. Authors use tropes that worked in the past without adding their own twist for fear of receiving a negative response from their publishers and readers, while their publishers are so busy producing their own Naruto/Bleach/MHA/Demon Slayer/JJK that they do not apply the necessary rigor when reviewing chapters and supervising authors.- The other reason for the creative breakdown, which few talk about, is that today's authors lack culture and experiences of their own. This generation grew up watching anime and reading manga in peaceful and monotonous urban environments, causing them to miss out on the “life lessons” and “cultural exchanges” that previous generations experienced, who grew up reading all kinds of books in times of political conflict and economic crisis.tl; dr: fewer manga authors think it's worth the risk to work for a magazine as trigger-happy as WSJ, and those who continue to take the risk lack the creativity to create a good story. Even if they did have the talent, WSJ's desire to produce slop that sells means that risky ideas get removed.>>4008491Publishing for a young audience where there are many limitations on what you can show, ironically encourages creativity. Not only do you have to write something that entertains children with shorter attention spans, but you also have to grab the attention of parents, who are ultimately the ones who decide to buy the magazine. The most famous example of this is MLP, a show aimed at young girls that nevertheless featured a variety of characters and situations that resonated with adults to the point of becoming a unique phenomenon.
>>4008515Funny thing is, I found out later on that one of my bullies turned out to be gayer than a scarlet fanny pack, so he probably had a crush on me and didn't know how to handle it... A shame too, he was cute, and I secretly hated that he only wanted to tease meI did have my fun with a couple of boys my age, but nothing serious or heartbreaking thank god>>4008516This is true, people treat you a lot nicer when you strive to look pretty rather than manly, because men like to compete with one another, being pretty instead makes them KINDA treat you like a girl.
>>4008521Lucky boys. I never understood bullying someone you have a crush on. Dominance? Wrapped sense of self-validation that associates bullying with affection due to childhood abuse? Low self-esteem? Or are all children just retarded? I bet you were a beautiful boy. I bet you're a beautiful adult too ;^)
>>4008522Love, fear, and hate are often confused.
>>4008522Kids teasing the object of their affections as an underdeveloped form of flirting has been common since time immemorial. You combine that with a society that tells boys that it's weird to have a crush on another boy and it's easy to see how that would get warped into outright bullying.
>>4008377Hyper and rich shos for me
>>4008178
>>4008539whore
White hair shos are the best
>>4008545
>>4008499Sauce?

>>4008547https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/100266223
>>4008549Its white. Thank you so much.
>>4008552No, it's not. This is what white hair looks like
>>4008553I'm more concerned about his lower part than his hair color though
>it's midnight>your doorbell is ringing>check the peephole>see this standing in front of your doorWhat do?
>>4008555Wrong house, fag
>>4008525Yeah the whole everyone has to pretend be straight thing is having such an annoying effect on society. Like when they reskin gay stories as “straight” stories so people don’t get their feelings hurt. This lie gets so annoying when you know about it and see people perpetuating it.
>>4008549How is that pink? The cyan I can see, but pink?
>>4008555I'm not interesting enough to warrant a Zoldyck assassination contract. And if he wanted to kill me, he wouldn't ring the door bell. So I invite him in, offer him a beverage, and ask how I can be of service to him. I'd try to be as helpful as possible so that he might let me hug him.
>>4008519I didn't mean it in such a deep wayI just like that Corocoro still shows shotas naked, sadly they have drastically dropped full frontal nudity, which saddens me so much
>>4008569That anon is probably colorblind
