it's not but komaeda is the weirdest one to pick when few characters from that are played and it mostly tends to be that one het shipper on bakerstreet anyway

I think you're right, I can't remember the last time I saw a komaeda out there.

tru, subthread op should have listed a one piece character or something to at least stay on theme

there's even that la adaptation holding rp traction now, so it'd at least be more contemporary wank than dangit rupaul mentions in tyool 2024

the point is bitching when all these canons are mid is fucking stupid

they all have tropey characters made for mass appeal and your fave is not somehow deeper. most dwrp popular canons are always going to be shallow as a kiddie pool bc its easier to rp from and that's it

instead of dodging the question over and over again like a pussy, tell us which canons have the non-tropey, non-kiddie pool characters

lmao lbr they're not gonna answer it because they know their canons are gonna be picked apart by anons too

pretty funny that they'll crow about dwrp's mid taste all day long but still aren't brave enough to actually elaborate on their superior Definitely More Complex And Adult Trust Me Bro canons

OP of that comment and I mostly meant that it's an extra bummer to see the same character over and over again when they're from big casts, but "better" was a headass word to use in that context so yeah, didn't communicate my point well. My faves definitely aren't deeper.

it's listed as "Action, mystery, supernatural" and being published in a seinen magazine (young ace)

i know people use shonen as an umbrella term for genre, but it's actually a demographic that says more about the audience it's aimed at, so i guess anything could fall under shonen as long as it's being published in a shonen magazine

It's a seinen. All the blood and limb-loss in the manga is a good sign of that. Shounen can't be nearly as outright gory.
