Good thing there's like a hundred variants tho idk how much of an otaku he was to knowBru, that straight up plot of spider man
*the girl eats the grandmaIs japanese version of red riding hood where the girl eats the wolf grandma?

More like the earlier version of red riding hood. Fairy tales tends to be extreme before it being made into the all age version which we all know today.
In fact, the plot device of the hero(es) having to pilot a mech to defeat an overpowered villain-of-the-week was originally from Japanese Spider-Man.Why does Japanese Spiderman have a giant mecha?
Because Japanese.
Newspapers were the original home of serialized stories. That eventually shifted over to dedicated magazines. Though many nowadays are just self-published online.Was stories in newspapers a thing? The only newspapers that had stories in my experience was the trashy ones. The reputable ones that I've read don't have novels in them.
Honestly I’m surprised they don’t have their own printing press or like use magic to make copies and “subtly” spread the stories around first to go “viral” before the newspaper so they can get a better deal/exclusive publishing or soTime to find another publisher.
