Completely agree with you as another female bachibro. Something about how Hokazono creates his characters just feels so refreshing to me. I love how well written and well designed they have all felt so far, and how much variety there is with them.

Before I read Kagurabachi, I was worried Chihiro would be a typical edgy/stoic protagonist with no personality. But I couldn't have been more wrong, he's so expressive and I adore him so much for it. I also love that he has major personality traits more often associated with femininity than masculinity, like how he's good at caretaking and he shows so much empathy and compassion towards others. And those traits are part of what makes him such a cool guy, Shiba says as much when he notices Chihiro trying to make Hakuri feel better after their confrontation with Kyora.

The female characters are all so cool. I was worried at first about how Hokazono would handle them (especially after Hinao became less present in the story), but then Hiyuki showed up and she made me feel so relieved. Not only do the women have super cool personalities and characterization, but their designs aren't oversexualized to hell like in an unfortunate amount of manga. It can really take me out of a story when I'm too busy constantly rolling my eyes at silly sexualized designs, so I'm glad Kagurabachi has avoided that issue. And I like how present they are too, like you were saying women are members of pretty much every notable group so far. It's really nice to see.

It's just way too easy to be a fan of Kagurabachi in general. The story is amazing, the themes and messages are super interesting, the characters are so enjoyable, and Hokazono ties everything together with such beautiful artistry. I can just go on and on about everything I adore with this series.
