Tsugumomo - Vol. 22 Ch. 109 - Kazuya vs. Madarai 5

You just proved my point, thank you very much.
Just because a title is published in a certain magazine, does not necessarily mean the content of said title exclusively caters to the magazine's targeted demographic.

Deadtube is from shounen magazine and is gorier and pornier than any of these.

If we're going by content alone, Dead Tube wouldn't look out of place in a seinen magazine.

Tsugumomo's fight scenes would cater to the older shounen and younger seinen because of how it generally looks and feels like it's something you would find in a shounen manga. That, or I can't help but see it in that light because of all the Giga Cloth-drill Breaker that Kazuya uses from early on.

Meanwhile, Tenjou's range from flashy cool moves, to gory, to erotic, and even up to guro. Not to mention, the artwork really sells it as a seinen.

But we're going off tangent now, it's best we leave this as it is before we take up pages upon pages just debating on the matter.

@shinya78 There is exactly nothing to discuss, manga demographic is same as it's magazine. That's all nothing to do with content.
Unfortunately there are retards who think shounen=bad and seinen=good because they think Berserk is seinen defining manga or they are unsecure about liking series like HxH.

@bastek66
Okay, so apparently I can theoretically write a manga aimed at older shounen, somehow get it published in a seinen magazine, and it will be regarded as a seinen. Ri~ght, quite the stickler aren't ya?

What kind of next level elitist urod would be unsecure about liking oppai dragon?

 

[bastek66]

@shinya78 Why would you care about aiming your manga to particular group? Wouldn't be better draw what you like?
Also if it's in seinen magazine then it's seinen not shounen regardless.

This is going to be a fairly long and off-topic one, so this will be my last comment. We are supposed to be commenting on this specific chapter of Tsugumomo.

Popularity rankings, which determines if your work could potentially get axed or not.

Let's say for example, in a certain magazine, ten authors are getting their works published. Then within ten readers of that magazine, six are of a certain demographic. It would make sense to tailor your work to suit the tastes of those six to maximize the potential fans that you would gain, right? But that's not factoring in the rival authors who are also aiming their works towards the same majority demographic. But if for some reason you're the only one who tailored their work to suit the other four, you essentially have a monopoly of 40% of that magazine's readers while the rest are fighting against each other to get the biggest piece of the remaining 60%. Just because the magazine is aimed towards a certain demographic, it does not necessarily mean every single reader of that magazine is of that demographic.

If mangakas could get away with just drawing whatever they want all the time, they'd be better off staying as an amateur and make doujins, or self-publish. Both of which aren't exactly as profitable as a professional in a big publishing company.

well there it is important characters can't stay dead in anime and manga series and somehow always return. kyouka and kukuri aint dead either they will return as well. in case of kyouka they can use that storehouse tsukumogami to repair kyouko after that old geezer is dead im pretty sure he will die by the end of this arc.

 

[Liquidxlax]

The Fucker actually did it.

Please tell me of a story where one of the main characters die for good (I can only recall 1, and that's not even an anime/manga)... Not recall of all the ones they somehow resurrect... Do you see my point?

 

[Pancakeza]

As annoying as it can be, killing one of the main characters leaves the plot weakened. It is kinda like a house and the characters a the columns, if you take the main character out of the story for too long then the whole thing will come crashing down.

 

[pepsiman7]

nice

Bullshit

I really want Kyouka back, she is so young and innocent

Innocent? Excuse me, what?! (chapter 60, page 9).

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Akame Ga Kill, most parts of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Hokuto no Ken, Berserk, One Piece if you count Ace as a main character. I can't immediately name others off the top of my head.
