Yeah I don't have a lot of issues with the anime, but Mie is supposed to be the cutest gremlin who speaks like a warrior. They didn't do Kaeda and Mie right.

I'm enjoying Blooming Love. About an arty guy and a drum maker. It's a basic shoujo romance, but it moves quite quickly and the art is cute. Interestingly, they're also out of highschool as of the current chapter. I'd like a little more detail about their respective crafts though - it'd be cool to learn a little about drum making.

Very minor quibble, but this seems a lot more like a shounen romance than a shoujo one (though still fine for this thread since it's for all romance manga).

What is the difference? Not being facetious i dont actually know. I think Shoujo is younger people and Josei is older? But i legitimately have no idea

Chas McGill posted:Shoujo is for younger girls, shounen for boys, or at least that's my understanding of the demographics. Josei for women, seinen for men. Technically the only truly "objective" way to tell is "what magazine is it published in" (in this case a shounen one). But broadly speaking yeah, the genres are named after who they're "aimed at" (though in reality there's a ton of crossover). I think the most surprising situation where a manga's genre was different than I expected was Horimiya (which I thought was shoujo but was in a shounen magazine IIRC).

 The last little mini arc for Blooming Love was a really sweet deal and all I want to say is that the innkeeper was the GOAT. The current chapter is full of really good stuff and I particularly enjoyed The drunk senpai just being confused from start to finish with her flirting. This is the right kind of use for denseness in a main character. Interested to see where we go with the art school.

Honestly, most rom coms drag it out orders of magnitude more than this. If anything this has been brisk. Seems like it will be for real ending here shortly.

Yeah, he even says he doesn't know how long it'll last, my personal theory is that he was already in love with her a bit prior to her, so he may retain them partially indefinitely. But we'll see I guess.

I think giving Gojo a few chapters to work through some things would be neat because so far the guy's killing himself to make this poo poo and the reason for it is something he needs to work through because he's largely been going with the flow and dragged into this.

ZenMasterBullshit posted:I think giving Gojo a few chapters to work through some things would be neat because so far the guy's killing himself to make this poo poo and the reason for it is something he needs to work through because he's largely been going with the flow and dragged into this. Yeah I completely agree. From his very first costume to this latest one, the poor boy still more or less completely throws his entire life into making costumes, beating himself up over his lack of skills the entire way. And despite what we see as impeccable work, the Haniel costume is the first time they have gotten a significant, industry relevant reaction. Only for Marin is going to get most of that attention. As acknowledged in the latest chapter, both of them are still basically amateurs at cosplaying. No socials means no recognition beyond what people see in front of them, which means the crowd entirely ignores Gojo. Which over the course of all the circle shoot chapters, is implied to have been like hours of him just standing there being ignored while Marin gets all the attention. We don't yet know if he's feeling down because of jealously, possessiveness over Marin, or inferiority over never quite being happy with his costumes or what, but Gojo clearly needs some time to work through things. We know Marin is a ball of confidence, but Gojo isn't exactly ready for a relationship yet, like at all. One of the things I find most fascinating about Bisque Doll is that, basically since the end of their first cosplay event (Shizuku-tan), we have more or less only seen Marin's interiority with regards to her feelings for Gojo. And we know Marin is head over heels for the boy, albeit still understandably nervous about moving to the next stage, but Gojo is so caught up in his own world that all we ever focus on since are only his thoughts on his craft. He is still attracted to Marin, and we occasionally see that, but we have seen almost none of his thoughts towards what their relationship is beyond "cosplayer and costume maker". In fact, from Marin's point of view, Gojo appears more or less entirely disinterested in a relationship with Marin. The idea of dating Marin hasn't even crossed his mind. What I imagine happens is that the original author of Mandate of Heaven will be completely blown over the costume work, eventually leading to significant acknowledge of Gojo's craftsmanship that isn't just from Marin, their high school group, or their little group of cosplay nerds. This, in tandem with Marin's offer to go professional, will trigger an earnest talk about their future together, both in terms of cosplaying and their relationship. Could it be paced a little better? Yeah sure, especially because the monthly releases are particularly painful. But the story still needs to maneuver both Marin and Gojo to be emotionally ready to move to the next stage of their relationship together. And besides, everyone's so eager to slam their favoruite characters together, but as long as it doesn't egregiously/nonsensically feel dragged out (which I personally do not feel it has been beyond its release schedule, which hey can't be helped), then I'd say let the author cook. I have no doubt all of this will read much better per volume release. Bonus points even, if this arc leads to Gojo acknowledging that all this cosplay stuff is technically just a side-project for him. What exactly is his future with Marin, considering he never once planned this to be a long-term thing? We now know Marin fully wants to cosplay forever with Gojo, but what does Gojo want?

Sure, a healthier work schedule for himself would help, but he needs someone to support him, Marin is the right person for that but she has to get her head out of the cosplay clouds for 5 seconds.
