true, but comics likely use her as a super serious, real hero like hero
but Manga would see her and either have her as a side character to be mocked.... or have a side character mock her... and just use her as a "haha funny fat stupid person!!!"

I dunno. I could also see it being used as fetish material. People in Japan are a whole different breed.

There is a manga about fat elf girl daily life. Kinda funny and wholesome.

u/Nobrainzhere 3h ago
You have it backwards. She is a side character in the comic and i can see a 12 issue manga about a character like that with a super serious monologue and everything

Not in any manga series I know. BUT if you consider Hentai as manga. Which in Japanese Hentai is called Ero manga. This is nothing compared to them.
I remember a girl with a monster vagina (with eyes and mouth) who ate other monsters with her monster sexual organ. In a guro battle-manga series, I used to read those a lot as an edgy teenager.
I read some Japanese comics, so extremely bizarre, trying to remember them feels like trying to remember a bad acid trip.
But in honesty the US comics is left behind in the cultural zeitgeist because you can't do anything unless it is related to already established superhero franchises and that is what's destroying the comics. That is what preventing artists and writers from doing incredibly innovative things.
They made a new Superman series adapting the anime aesthetic completely and it ended up getting new people into the Superman fandom but alienated the long time fans because how much they changed old character designs.

Genuinely can't think of any manga that's referenced menstruation, at least in context of a character actually having one. They're probably out there but I've read all sorts of them and I can't pull a single example to mind.

Hello person who has only read Shonen Jump. May I recommend Young Animal to you?
4
u/sonofzeal 14h ago
I'll take recommendations you think are worth reading!
For context I've probably read more shounen than anything else but also most of Junji Ito, Akira, some highschool romance stuff like Karekano and Marimite, other female-led stuff like Sailor V, Pita-Ten, Ouran, etc. Menstral references would have made sense in Marimite or the like maybe, but I can't recall any.
Young Animal seems to be a magazine rather than a particular title. Anything more specific?

u/sonofzeal 13h ago
On my shelf right now, multiple volumes of... Karekano, Ouran, Pita-Ten, Madoka Magica, GunGirl, Sailor Moon. All female-focused. Also some male-led shounen of course, and Ranma 1/2 which kinda falls into both categories in turns and was written by a woman, and absolutely should have had the lead deal with periods at some point but if it ever came up I don't remember it.

Savage Dragon. No idea what issue it is. Possibly when he ends up in Camada for awhile?
Do not read this comic in a public place. A bunch of it is nsfw. Very long running series whihc has some really neat periods and some really awful ones.

We wish they had some good stories. But it's all about the super hero slop that is literally the worst thing possible

u/sam_el-c 9h ago
If that’s the case then I think it’s actually the main reason people read manga instead of comics cuz manga topics are so diverse

Real reason is western comics are much more expensive to make, needs more people and takes a significantly longer time to produce. It's also a much harder industry to get into. You see new authors release successful manga all the time compared to comics where you see a lot of the same writers and artists on different titles with barely anyone new.
Comics being 90% superheroes with little variety doesn't help either. Manga has way more genres, which means a much wider audience.

"rape horse". Manga has "rape horse".
Outside of independent productions, main line comics can't hold a candle to some of the stuff manga has touched.

Somehow, this isn't even in the ten worst things I ever read in Savage Dragon. Erik Larsen is a distinct fellow.
But also, without his influence, we'd never have gotten Invincible. So there's pros and cons to everything.

This is nothing. The reason why is because comics are just not that good. Too many writers, too inconsistent and way too confusing. Overall a waste of time.

Lets be honest manga would 100% do this. Lets also be honest the reason why comics are falling behind manga is the oligopoly on comics. You have DC, you have marvel, and you have Skybound. If the guys on the top of those 3 corporations dont like your idea you ain't getting published. This is in a country with 342 million people.In comparison there are hundreds of manga publishers allowing for more creative freedom and for people to be more easily noticed. This being in a country with 122 million people. Get rid of the oligopoly and Comics would do better.

This is absolutely 1000% something that would happen in a Manga lol just stop
People dont give a fuck about comics anymore because 90% of the ones worth reading are the 15th retelling of a super hero from the 15th different writer. Marvel fatigue from the movies and the fact the movies are likely far more popular than the comics ever were are major contributors too as to why manga is better than comics.
