#2802#wind breaker#kirby#daily kirby#my art#digital#hal laboratory#nintendo#anytime I read a popular manga that the publishers are pushing aggressively and it actually turns out to be Good#I'm like 'dang y'all did you know this one is good!?'#I first started reading manga in the naruto era. sao was a big deal in my college anime club. I constantly get ads for fire force.#something being popular or aggressively pushed is absolutely Not a guarantee it's worth my time.#but wind breaker? wind breaker is Good.#shortest sales pitch: feral punchboy learns community (through punching) - tonic masculinity for sure#(the opposite of toxic masculinity - they have feelings other than rage and that is encouraged!)#there's not a ton of women characters. which is a hard no for some people and I respect that.#the women that are there get to be just as complex as everyone else and there is also a gnc character of unclear gender identity#who is also just as complex and respected as everyone else.#(he curates a very feminine appearance but his friends still call him him to the best of my recollection)#(so presumably those are at least A set of pronouns he is comfortable with)#I love a good feral punchboy.#I have many opinions about manga.#fewer about anime although I do want to watch the wind breaker anime#cuz I have trouble following action in manga sometimes#(though wind breaker is a lot easier for me to follow the fights than most)
