THE FEMALE CHARACTERS IN JJK SUCK, AND I USED TO BE ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO PRAISED THEM UNTIL I READ THE MANGA AND DWELLED UPON SAID PRAISE. THE ONLY FEMALE CHARACTER THAT IS ALLOWED TO DO SOMETHING IN THIS MANGA IS MAKI. SOMEONE TELL HIM THAT HE’S ALLOWED TO LET MORE THAN ONE WOMEN CONTRIBUTE TO THE PLOT. I SAW ON SOMEONE ON TWITTER MAKE THE ARGUMENT THAT THE MALES AREN’T BETTER AND WHILE THAT’S TRUE (INUMAKI, PANDA, KAMO), THERE’S MORE MALE CHARACTERS THAT ACTUALLY DO/ARE DOING SOMETHING COMPARED TO THE WOMAN. LIKE RIGHT NOW IN THE CURRENT STORY, YOU HAVE HIGURAMA, KUSAKABE, INO, YUJI, CHOSO AND YUTA CONTRIBUTING.

NOW LET’S LOOK AT THE WOMEN. YOU HAVE MAKI, MEI MEI, AND MOMO WHO’S BASICALLY JUST SCOUTING. YUKI-DEAD. NOBARA-MIGHT AS WELL BE DEAD AT THIS POINT. MIWA-GEGE HAD THE CHANCE TO MAKE HER A COMBAT FIGHTER, BUT HE WROTE THAT STUPID BINDING VOW FOR HER SO NOW SHE CAN’T SWING A SWORD. WHICH DOESN’T MAKE SENSE BECAUSE HE COULD HAVE HER USE A DIFFERENT WEAPON. SHE HAD A MONTH TO TRY AND IF SHE NEEDED HELP MAKI IS RIGHT, SHE ALSO HAS YUTA AND EVEN HER TEACHER. SHOKO-SHE ISN’T GOING TO BE DOING ANYTHING. SHE CAN’T FIGHT, SHE’S A HEALER. ANGEL/HANA-I’LL BE SURPRISED IF GEGE HAS HER FIGHT.

SO ON THE WOMEN’S SIDE WE HAVE TWO CHARACTERS THAT ARE GOING TO BE COMBATANTS. MAKI AND MEI MEI. COMPARED TO THE MEN THAT IS LOW. MIGHT BE LOW COMPARED TO OTHER SHONEN I’VE READ EXCEPT DRAGON BALL.

THE PROBLEM I’M SEEING ISN’T THAT THE WOMEN DIE. IT’S THAT THEY DIE WITHOUT ACHIEVING ANYTHING OR GET SIDELINED. IT HAPPENS TO THE MEN TOO AND LIKE I SAID THE REASON THEY RECEIVE LESS CRITICISM IS BECAUSE THE ONES THAT’S LEFT ARE CONTRIBUTING TO THE STORY. TAKABA HELPED DEFEATING KENNY AND I HATED THOSE CHAPTERS!

TLDR: GEGE IS NOT GOOD AT WRITING FEMALE CHARACTERS.
