Why does shonen manga regularly produce the most iconic titles of all time?
>Iconic
It sells a lot
Bigger audience means more authors can get into it and produce a product. At the same time, bigger amounts means more exposure to the genre and therefor more ideas get concieved
>Neon Genesis Evangelion
>Weekly Shonen Jump
Really?
The manga adaptation maybe?
No, it was in Ace
Because it's good. Moeshit can't compete.
Lowest common denominator?
>hurr did you know transformers is one of the most iconic movies of all time? it must be good
>Fullmetal Alchemist
>Neon Genesis Evangelion
Not jump
Cope
Well, the OP didn't specifically say Jump.
He just said shonen manga.
Easy to get in to, but have substance for hardcore fans. Long run times so the audience can truly be a long term fandom as opposed to people who enjoy a magazine/show and move on.
Because for every memorable and iconic title they have 20 failed or shitty series.
YYH was the last good Jump shonen
because shounen and capeshit is the greatest genre in the world. This is why Marvel and Disney makes billions of dollars.
bland moeblobs can't compete, that's why
Based
Largest demographic
It appeals to normalfags manchild
Naruto
Green Naruto is better.
And the Magnum Opus of shonen is Hunter x Hunter yet it's probably one of the least popular ones
Broad appeal. People may cry about it being for kids, but the truth is that if your target demo is 10+ it's quite likely to be enjoyed by "kids of all ages". It doesn't work for stuuff directed at teens for example, these usually become insufferable after you grow up.
Retard
>Shonen manga = wsj
ok retard
no
Stories for young boys just have a lot of appeal. It's the same for capeshit in the west
>Image is the wsj logo
Ok retard
Manga is for children. Sienen manga contradicts itself
I think you mean ironic.
