The idea of "chastity reversal" (that's what's 貞操逆転 means by the way, not "gender reversal") is something that's surprisingly hardly done; the only other manga I remember doing this is "World of Moral Reversal"-- as in, they depict a world where the supposed sexual norms of men and women are reversed, which is different than merely having a world where society is different because men are rare compared to women.
The reader may want to consider "chastity reversal" to be otaku jargon that
actually means "lol, the men are herbivores and the women are man-eating perverts", because otherwise it becomes awkward to consider that the author really thinks that men would generally act like the women do in this chapter without being thugs or extreme weirdos. Like, in a non-chastity reversal narrative, that stuff would normally be written as the "kick the dog" moment for male stock villains, because
nobody wants to hear about men trying to rape women-- at the very least, that's some Rance shit.
though, I guess that would be something some women readers may find attractive if such men were written with charisma and not brutishness-- look, I'm trying to account for the fact that women can be as perverted as men even in real life
Don't mind me too much-- I do like the art style, and the juxtaposition of the protagonist and the apparent female lead so far.
Man this manga seems to bother some people. Always seems to when men are the weaker ones out of the bunch, lmao.
That's the issue: there's no indication that they are, which undermines the worldbuilding if you make the mistake of choosing to take it seriously rather than as a fundamentally necessary step in establishing the gag-tier premise.
This is a soft-H manga that plays around with the idea of a society of very unabashed maneater women and herbivore men, so this doesn't especially matter if you're in it for the long haul-- you just shouldn't waste your time trying to justify it, because the only answer is "it
doesn't make sense, now shut up and wish that was you".
Probs somehow trough some weird evolution fanaglin
Evolution obviously hasn't done jack-- none of the women are built any different than regular women and the protagonist is built like Baki Hanma. If I have to think about this for a second more, I refuse to believe that the men of this world didn't largely decide to take advantage of their rarity to become pampered femboys, because that's the only way patriarchal oligarchies didn't happen.
...w-wait, why do the women have them dressed up and socialized like fembo-- no, I need to stop trying to make sense of this.
