All demographic classifications are barely above bunk as useful metrics because turns out every book runs series that are a bit outside the wheelhouse and crosses over, for the sake of variety Seinen can be simple romantic comedy and Shoujo, especially historically, had some of the most gruesome horror comics ever made. I dont think any of the old shoujo horror mags are still around tho, it was more of an 80's/early 90's thing.

https://mangadex.org/title/11307/13-peoples-short-suspense-and-horror Most is untranslated, but there were entire magazines running through the 80s that just specialized in it. The artists still work in a lot of cases, its just running in general mags now. Sharkopath fucked around with this message at 18:40 on Jan 24, 2019 |

I bet theres more gods than there are famous historical warriors if you measured them out and everybody got to fight. All the syncretized pantheons do a sneaky trick and get to fight multiple times under their different names.

The Buddha and Heracles fighting to wipe out humanity does feel pretty weird. I guess Heracles's outlook has changed after spending millennia as a god, and the Buddha in this context is probably meant to be seen through a particular folk-religion lens where he's essentially just a powerful god who manipulates souls.

Nah, just a glorified serial killer of prostitutes instead. It really does have a fun stupid vibe, and I'm honestly glad it gets right down to business instead of trying to do a ton of setup as tourney style plots sometimes stray into. Just a bunch of assholes fighting.
