Gay marriage is illegal in Japan first off. And gay people are typically clichéd and made fun of in anime/manga (for example Puri Puri Prisoner from One Punch Man) and LGBT+ is not necessarily "taboo" in Japan but the audience is kind of conservative. Also, shonen mangakas are 30+ years old, so their perceptions of gay people are tainted a bit. Si......   reply

One thing that has always amazed me in shonen manga is how CLOSE the bromance can be for two protagonists or side characters in a shonen manga.

Some are even potentially amazing couple material: Naruto and Sasuke, who stand as both the moon and sun; who are tied by a bond of ancestry (sadly), who end up being tied to two parallel gods....

On that note, I wonder why there isn't many gay/lesbian/bisexual/pansexual romances in shonen manga.
Before you criticize me and say 'WHO WANTS THAT IN A MANGA MADE 4 BOYS" please let me raise a point here.
The characters who fight together and bond and grow together can remain just friends, and that's fine.
But I think that it would have IMMENSE impact if two characters who have a super close bond with each other, who have fought both against and for one another becoming a couple in the end would be so amazing!

I know Cardcaptor Sakura is like shojo manga but it is quite interesting. For example Touya and Yukito were GREAT and I also think Sakura's friend Tomoyo had one sided feelings for Sakura. And it not only was good romance, but took nothing away from the plot at all- it was an excellent manga/anime!
AND I HAVE HEARD ABOUT YUYU HAKUSHO being inclusive too.... so i just wonder why some recent shonen manga are so desperate to be as hetero as possible....

I do wonder if shonen manga genre is maybe a bit outdated when it comes to romance sometimes.

For me, I've always had a really low libido and never really liked sex as a whole. The experience is really unfulfilling, it just makes me nervous and I can never enjoy it, even with a partner I'm comfortable with. Weirdly enough, reading Yaoi is just about the only thing that turns me on, maybe because I've been reading it for possibly 8-9 years n......   1 reply
