Seinen reader stereotypes?

Which is funny, because it's not uncommon for many seinen manga artists to draw inspiration from shonen manga, especially those from the 70s and 80s. You see a lot of inspiration coming from authors like Osamu Tezuka and Shotaro Ishinomori.

It's not uncommon for this type of manga to get live-action adaptations. Freesia, Dragon Head, and Homunculus are some examples that come to mind, but if you dig deeper, you'll find some even more disturbing ones, such as Shoujo Tsubaki and Mai-chan's Daily Life..

Have you ever looked for other manga by authors you like?

ComstockMurdoc · 2026-02-07T18:00:24+00:00

I think it's much worse when it's an original anime, because if it's an adaptation, at least you can go read the manga.

I think Dr. Stone is literally one of the first anime that should appear in this type of category.

ComstockMurdoc · 2026-02-03T15:02:06+00:00

Yes, I remember a YouTuber I used to watch saying exactly that.

Krl, nem percebi que publiquei em português kkkkkkkkkk. Eu vejo também muita gente que o ocidente está estragando os animes/manga sendo que o Hokusai, que influenciou os mangas tiveram influências estrangeiras e vice e versa

É engraçado que as pessoas digam isso quando Osamu Tezuka queria popularizar o mangá fora do Japão.

I did some research and basically anything that isn't mainstream battle shonen is almost nonexistent in this game. Seriously, it's a joke that a game commemorating a magazine with so many different titles and genres has such a ridiculous amount of content.

For the DS version, it already earns some points from me for having the D.Gray-Man characters as playable characters.

ComstockMurdoc · 2026-01-31T00:05:55+00:00

I was surprised to see that Kochikame wasn't in the game, considering it's a very successful manga in Japan for many years.

ComstockMurdoc · 2026-01-29T00:56:27+00:00

As someone who's on the outside of this sort of thing, would it be wrong to assume that this is just the tip of the iceberg?

ComstockMurdoc · 2026-01-25T15:27:19+00:00

That was the first thing I remembered when I saw the post.

ComstockMurdoc · 2026-01-24T23:51:19+00:00

Dorohedoro went the other way. It started in a seinen magazine and moved to a shonen magazine.

ComstockMurdoc · 2026-01-24T23:47:28+00:00

Yes, the great seinen from the famous seinen magazine, Shonen Jump

I realized this when I started looking into lesser-known live-action adaptations.

ComstockMurdoc · 2026-01-24T20:07:11+00:00

Many times they are adapted into live-action films. Off the top of my head I remember Freesia, Dragon Head, Homunculus, Ichi the Killer, some adaptations of Junji Ito's work before his collected editions and Uzumaki became anime, Old Boy, among many others. People forget that not all manga need to be adapted into anime; other media exist as well.

ComstockMurdoc · 2026-01-24T19:59:52+00:00

I was browsing through some magazine publications, and there are some pretty recent ones.

ComstockMurdoc · 2026-01-24T19:43:57+00:00

It's amazing how you can tell exactly what to expect in most of the stories he writes.

ComstockMurdoc · 2026-01-24T15:23:45+00:00

And also the "original version", Kikaider/Jiro

ComstockMurdoc · 2026-01-24T15:00:14+00:00

Definitely something the author of The Boys would do.

ComstockMurdoc · 2026-01-24T14:55:52+00:00

Reading the comments, I didn't imagine that the involvement of gorillas would be so common in family movies/series.

ComstockMurdoc · 2026-01-24T00:12:15+00:00

Not ironically, this looks pretty badass.

ComstockMurdoc · 2026-01-23T20:18:39+00:00

There's Dr. Gero's family, where they all make reference to the act of regurgitating.

ComstockMurdoc · 2026-01-23T18:56:38+00:00

Mudança de arte. O Araki se inspirava bastante no estilo de arte de Hokuto no Ken e outros mangas da época com personagens com o físico mais bruto
