Me gripping the manga/anime community with the force of a 1000 suns : if you actually listened to mangakas complaints about how these magazine companies are runned and pushed you would understand that josei/shoujo are only “dying”(not really true) due to marketing restrictions/bias and misogyny

Most of the renowned seinen authors use the templates and get inspired by shoujo/josei imagery and storytelling beats for emotional/dramatic narratives , if you want to learn how to do character drama I’m begging you to start reading some shoujo/josei , yes even if it’s trash , you’re missing out on so much content I promise you

its always “shoujo/josei is dying” and never : because men rarely cross demographics the stories in this demographic is barely exposed and the people running these magazines have very narrow ideas and gender biased marketing that is WHY shounen/seinen have not only a high female reader ship but most manga authors choose these specific magazines because they know they’ll get more exposure

#someone should draw this with zacian and zamamenta or whatever the other one is called

HERE YOU GO BOSS
