Honestly even if we take the cousin thing for granted, which FINE, SURE, it's just not a relationship with chemistry.

Yeah I think they explicitly stated it wasn't a blood relation? There's definitely more chemistry with Aina though.

dogsicle posted:its just one idiot who purposely misinterpreted her work and admitted they have a grudge against ichikawa, and the rest of it is tumblr being impressionable teens I can see people wanting maybe a warning about some of the older material for a few things but yeah it's a case of blatantly misunderstanding some scanlations or skewing the interpretation to fit a gross conclusion and also not recognizing that some fiction contains story elements that are unsavory or just flat out icky and said inclusion isn't an endorsement. But yeah, I mean most people I see talking about her are saying "uh that callout was ridiculous" so I don't know how much it really influenced anyone who would actually be picking up the series. It's annoying when a conversation goes from "hey, are you interested in X series or mangaka? Here are a few warnings about content" to "...and if you are okay with reading any of this, you're a terrible person!" I'm already seeing some weiiird growing pains with the golden kamuy fanbase there in that regard, like people starting it up only to be shocked, SHOCKED that it's violent and angry that anyone would have the audacity to like that aspect of it. I hate talking like it's tumblr as a whole because it definitely isn't but there are really annoying pockets of people there, just like there are everywhere I guess

While not a seinen, Grand Blue's author previous work Baka Test already had the "friends being assholes to each other" aspect. It was what drew me in, and probably the author figured that's what he was really good at.

I think it’s one of the best in the genre. The main character’s growth during the story is really good and it has some decent action.

As a big fan of Grand Blue this is pretty good news! Not quite sure how well the adaptation will go, but I'm hopeful! It also has already solid official translation which seems to update fairly frequently. That's definitely a plus. Regarding the comic itself, I'm surprised at how consistently good it is. The characters are fun (though I do agree Chisa is definitely the boring choice), gags usually land for me and the art really helps sell it (especially the reactions). Ending to last chapter was really good!

While it's not always violent and certainly has more to offer, Golden Kamuy has lots of over-the-top action and blood in it and doesn't really hide from that fact. Seems strange to get mad at people for liking those parts when they're important elements to it.

Its because those people picked up Golden Kamui after seeing a picture of the hairy chest guy or another nude man.

I think some people just somehow totally missed the super violent stuff since of course when I see other people tweeting/posting panels, it's always the silly ones. That and basically the JJBA people I follow slowly morphed into GK people I guess and -while this makes absolutely no sense to me since JJBA can still be violent/gory - people who followed them apparently figured it was still safer since hey, they all liked JJBA, too? I mean basically it's "oh, wait, I had no idea that's what seinen can be" kind of growing pains

a historical-based series named Hawkwood had a few chapters show up recently. Just started in on the first chapter but the style gives me some serious Vinland Saga vibes and the artwork is fantastic. Gerard gives me kind of a Reinhard vibe from Legend of the Galactic Heroes in how he's slightly manlier-looking than a shojo protagonist in a setting with dumpy old men and brick shithouses. according to baka-updates, it's complete at 8 volumes in Japan, so if someone's scanlating the whole thing, hopefully it's a good series!

The setting is about reading and writing. It’s literally like saying naruto is not about ninjas. all this violence poo poo we’ve already seen countless times. It’s inefficient and masturbatory, and boring. Imagine reading hikaru no go and going drat but why is this chessmaster going around hitting dudes and receiving no punishment instead of participating in games???

The focus on violence is infused in the story, like it's a truly central part of the story which comes up time and again, it's perplexing. Why this is, why she doesn't simply do martial arts and whatever is not explained, so the way it takes focus from literally everything else is very strange. Explain how this gels with the mc being a one in a thousand years prodigy in literature? Also whats up with her stalker best friend

The manga is about the friction between her being a genius author and her having absolutely no restraint when it comes to violence and insults. Hibiki wins fights because her responses are completely disproportionate. You're not meant to think that she has a future in martial arts. It's absolutely setting up tension about just how far other people can excuse her behaviour because of her talent, and I expect one of her friends/mentors to decide she's not worth it at some point. What I don't know is how justified Hibiki's "truth to power" schtick is going to be portrayed as, since other characters have tried their best to ignore it so far and it's had at worst ambiguous results.

The violence is shown to be inflicted on people who mostly have it coming and it even has a rehabilitative effect on them. The appeal is pretty basic: it's fun for the audience to see an anti-hero cross boundaries in a cathartic manner.

Rorschach's violence was mostly inflicted on people who had it coming too, and he provided plenty of catharsis, but he was still ultimately presented as someone who no one actually wanted around and whose lack of compromise led to more harm than good. It's possible to have an antihero do some cathartic violence while telling a larger story about how that same violence messes other things up.
