![]() ![]() So it just felt like Viz was trying to abate shoujo fans while not actually promoting a shoujo. Like shoujosei fans had recently been calling out how Viz treats shoujosei (liscensing 10 years old series, not promoting them, etc.) and then Romantic Killer was released and promoted as a shoujo series…but it’s shounen. There was also the Romantic Killer instance. This sounds so specific but I’ve seen it happen in a couple discussions. ![]() But I have noticed specific instances where someone will bring up how shoujosei manga is treated (not a lot of english liscenses or anime, or not a lot of people giving it a try bc of preconceptions) and someone (usually a dude) will come in like “Actually, I’ve watched these (10) shoujo and I can confirm all shoujo is the same/not that great”, but the list is like mostly seinen, a few shounen romances, and the only shoujo are Fruits Basket, Ouran, and/or Kimi ni Todoke. I usually don’t have an issue with people recommending some seinen or shounen stuff in this sub when they do fit the prompts. ![]()
