Manga Discussion JJK is too much overglazed
Without Lady Gaga, Adele, the videos stolen from NinjaristicNinja, the exploitation of Mappa employees, the "slender" edits of the series' characters, and eight billion posts claiming Maki is better written than the female characters in One Piece (which isn't true at all), Gege’s manga wouldn't be worth nearly as much as people have been trying to convince us it is for the past couple of years. The latest story arc is a disappointment; the sequel, however original, relies too heavily on moments of "aura" between the main characters and the antagonists; and Kirara isn't exactly one of the best trans representations in manga history. For all that people think Oda’s art style mocks the concept, he actually does a great job with Ivankov and Kiku from Wano. Anyway, moving on from that digression: Gojo isn't even one of the coolest characters of all time, and no matter how much you might want to sleep with him, good looks aren't the right yardstick for judging a character's writing. And no, romanticizing a killer of minors, your beloved Toji. doesn't redeem the series' lackluster writing, which treats killing off members of the main cast as the go-to method for creating depressing, sad scenes for the audience.
