>waah why do children keep buying such childish writing waaah
Not if they want to keep a consistent readership. How many that deviate from conventional formula managed to finish without getting axed early? Not all that many.
Same way other non shonen keep another repetitive formula. It can't.
Unless you count sports manga as shonen.
moeshit is the same
When will they adapt this into season 2 if Girlchan in Paradise
Adult men read shounen manga too you realize?
Nowadays a lot of media aimed at young people is also being consumed by adults simply because they've been consuming that kind of content since they were young themselves.
Dr Stone does it and Yea Forums shits on it
>can genre fiction stop following its genre
Man-children
Maybe if a new series doesn't follow these cliches and outsells Dragon Ball & One Piece, sure. At that point, though, it'd just introduce a new formula for publishers to run into the ground.
That's only because some of those series have been around for so long. I'm gonna wager that the same people who stuck with One Piece since it started running aren't the same ones getting into MHA or whatever kids are into these days.
Yes, they were expected to grow out of it but they didn't.
It's the same with those whiners that are complaining about the new Pokemon games being too easy. Maybe pick up a box that doesn't say "Rated E for Everyone"?
If you feel like shonen is too childish for you it means you have outgrown it.
Shonen manga has morals aimed at less developed minds, such as "be nice to your friends" and "be brave and stand up for what is right".
If you feel like you've already heard those lines too many times and it no longer correlates to your mess of an adult life, consider picking up something like Kaiji.
THAT is what you're expected to read at this point, and THAT will give you new insights.
You know, I've been thinking, and the only one that breaks the mold is HxH.
Even stuff like FMA or JJBA fall under these tropes.
Are you really expecting a shonennigger is able to read? He just looks at the pretty pictures my guy.
isn't this an issue exclusive of Jump
>translating nakama as "friends"
Good job completely underselling the philosophical intricacies of the Japanese language. It's so much more than that in a single word.
Reminds me of this segment from early OP.
Truly this is how fansubbing should be done.
tldr: we are too lazy to translate it properly so just deal with it.
>Dr. Stone isn't power fantasy shounen shit!
Nigger, accept the truth already.
I never said that, but it strays away from the formula by barely having battles
It's actually the opposite, they acknowledge that certain terms do not translate over well because of cultural differences.
So instead of just translating nakama to friends, they give a full explanation of what the word means in Japanese culture.
They're actually making more of an effort here so that weebs will learn Japanese terms properly.
Souma doesn't have physical fighting, but it still follow all battle shounen tropes. Dr. Stone is the same.
OPs shonen manga was unironically great. I especially liked how there was no filler arcs and everything resolved itself and also at a consistent pace.
>he doesn't have friends
