>>132569From what I've seen people say, even here, people reading the manga (not me) seem more interested in shipping wars, which would imply a fanbase that's more heavily female. One of the creators is a woman known for making stuff with suffering involved and I guess she's using her talent for Kana. Do women like Kana? I don't know, but I don't see why they wouldn't. I'm sure the quasi-incest angle is more titillating, though.
I can without reservation declare that I wouldn't have been interested in this show long enough to see Kana if the visuals weren't spectacular, so maybe the anime fanbase has a more even split of genders? There's still moments that kind of put me to sleep, particularly in season 1 when Kana wasn't involved since no one else seemed like a real person.

>>132569The description “shipping wars” that
>>132570 used sums it up pretty well.
I don't pay much attention about which characters are popular in comments as I'm more interested in subtle things other readers notice in the story. Especially in series where subtle behaviorisms in interpersonal relationships can easily fly over a guy's head, it is interesting to read comments female readers wrote about that.

Another Kana episode, but the good times are coming to an end.It looks like it's all going to be Aqua now.
Her watercolor montage also looked blurred and low FPS but idk if it was the stream I was watching or what

>>132798HARD and i mean
HARD disagree
looking around the three highest rated arcs are the prologue, reality show, and tokyo blade, and the latter fucking dominates
it's got a good deal of characters trying to figure out how to best fit into a complex production by looking at themselves and the role they've been presented, how to adapt to them, with solid conflict and good payoffs
by comparison the showbiz arc is trivially simple (that's the one at the very bottom of the list with 0.56%), prologue fails to be seriously followed up on for a very long time, reality show i still dislike, and first concert i only vaguely recall a lot of explanations for varieté but not a lot of struggle with it
anyways i took a glance at 4/a/ earlier today and a leak came out, they're at each other's throats at a speed of ~3 posts per minute, and particularly shitting on aka

No.134840
>>134833It's thanks to the multilayered nature of Oshi no Ko that it can do multiple stupid things in one fell swoop, a single event making people upset for several simultaneous reasons well beyond romance alone. And it couldn't have been any other way.

Aka Akasaka should be physically stopped from writing manga endings. It's very clear that the events surrounding instant bullet's ending have affected him mentally and spiritually. For the good of his mind and his works, he should let other people write the ending of his manga for him.
No.134842
>>134841>>134840I don't think it's Akasaka. Even JJKs ending had people upset. Narutos ending made people upset. I think Bleech's ending was mixed..
No.134843
>>134842The impression I get from afar with JJK is that the problem was more about the final arc as a whole, something more protracted, here it's a few chapters demolishing the entire thing. Of course, this happened because of his long-term neglect of good storytelling, it's a trainwreck because the tracks were loose and half of the engine's rivets were missing, and I do not believe for a moment that it's
merely the ending that is bad,
BUT you can look at the last few chapters and say with full certainty "here is where he jumped off a cliff." It really, truly is that clear.

>>134850Romance hits you like a freight train immediately after the end of Tokyo Blade and remains crucially important onwards, Aqua repeatedly talks about his motivations in how they relate for his love of his harem ("I want to protect X," "I'm doing this for Y"), and there's a shitload of drama hinging on it. It's not an afterthought, and everyone spent years arguing about it because it was made to look worthwhile. Claiming it's tacked on is trying to shoo away the fact that the main cast is one dude and the three chicks after him, and that their personal connections, as flimsy as they may be, are central to the story.
No.134852
>>134851What are you even talking about. All of Ruby's arc is not about romance. Tokyoblade does have romance but the main stories are about the author's saga and people discovering themselves. The romance comes in sporadically.
