déjà vu?

They do seem to have trouble coming up with new plot twists, the mangaka, lately. Handsome seme gets dumped by his wife, & leaves her child with him; young man who loves him takes her place, kid plays the Cupid part. And always such bad mothers! Strangest thing is, all these yaoi mangaka are women. Are they trying to give themselves a bad name?

    i mean just because a women is a the 'bad one' doesn't mean really that the mangakka is trying to paint a bad image of women. We already know that women in the real world is usually the better parent of the two. In the real world, dads usually are seen as the bad parent. So yeah, maybe see it as the fact that women can be bad and that men can make good parents or is as caring as females can be.

    Let them draw! It's ones creativity. A mangaka is never an easy job. (we're not even paying to read) *sighs*

    Women are not always the better parent. Courts don't like to give dad's a chance either when I comes to this. None the less both are equally good and bad

    I don't think that the womens in the yaoi mangas are any where near the image of the real women like seriously no one is going to say " oh what a bad mother. All women must be like that " just from a yaoi manga . And all the ones who read these mangas are teenagers and above so .. and also there are alot of other yaois mangas that shows the females as a very strong beautiful and understanding

    I don't mean it like that; what I mean is that in reality and many other literary works and mangas, women are usually the "good parent". I, myself, don't believe that women are always the better parent. Sometimes dad too can be a better parent. But in real life, you would hear a lot more about shitty dads than shitty moms.

    True irl... there are more shitty dads and shitty mom. My uncle is the definition of shitty. All he can do is lying, buried in debt, and play with prostitutes. Since marriage he never even gave a penny to my aunt. She should have file a divorce a long time ago, but somehow she never did. Among my fathers’ family, I have 6 other uncles, all of them are shitty and problematic. Most of them loved to play with other women or waste so much money. One of my uncle, his wife just recently got diagnosed with cancer, but he didnt fckin care. He even visit this particular women’s house everyday and spend a hell lot of money for her instead of using the money to cure his wife. Mostly I met shitty men. Good men are very rare, if there are any, they are either taken or gay... T_T

    Don't I know! I am one myself, not Japanese but Belgian, but still I am a mangaka, and I don't get paid either, because I can't find an editor for my work, most of the time. So I'd rather have the kids read it on line for free, than have it sit unread and unseen in my drawers... It is true it isn't an easy job, but it's great fun, I wouldn't want to do anything else. Still, from my postition as an old colleague of theirs, I can be a tad more critical than youse kids ;-)

    I would love you all to read it, unfortunately it's all in Dutch, so you couldn't understand it any better than you'd be able to understand raw manga... except for the few Dutch and Belgian Mangago-members here...

    they're illustrations of a book I made some years ago, and some more illustrations. No need for any text in Dutch.
    Let me know if you don't see them for some reason.

    these are so amazing ♡♡

    Thanks. D'you think I've got the right to be a little critical at the art of the mangaka, now that you've seen what I can do myself?
    I would never criticize anyting that I couldn't do better myself, that would be soo arrogant! Right?

    Uhh, your drawing is not that good either. Totally outdated style, unexpressive, with unbalanced body proportions. You need to practice a lot more.

    Sorry. But you are so arrogant and rude. You have a really high ego as well. I think you look down on people too much.

    Cyrano April 26, 2018 1:02 am

    I don't. Critics among professionals have nothing to do with emotions like arrogance, nobody looks down on anybody, and they're not meant to be rude. Just realistic. I don't have a high ego. I just am rather demanding where graphic quality is concerned.
    You shouldn't try to analyze people on the basis of what they write about something: it doesn't say anything about them, just about the subject. And the subject was not the mangaka's personality, but his work. So my personality doesn't come into it either.
