Ive come to the conclusion that if a book or series doesnt include a cast of morally dubious and messy gay people serving cunt then chances are im probably not going to like it. This spans across genres btw

In honor of Women's History month, I just want to remind people that some of the most influential and popular manga in the anime community are written/illustrated by women. And I'm not just talking about groundbreaking shojo like Sailor Moon, Fruits Basket, Card Captor Sakura, or Black Butler (or things like Chihayafuru, Migi to Dali, Sakamoto Desu ga?, Nana, Natsume Yuujincho, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Violet Evergarden, A Silent Voice, and a million more). To be clear, those series are also amazing, and I'm not demeaning them in any way. They deserve just as much respect as everything else.

But right now I'm talking about shōnen series or series that are usually marketed towards men specifically or have appeared in shōnen magazines. I mean things like:

Beastars and Sanda made by Paru Itagaki (fun fact: she's the daughter of Keisuke Itagaki, the author of Baki! I guess it runs in the family 😆)

Gangsta, by Kohske

Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic by Shinobu Ohtaka (which I promise isn't what my screen name is a reference to, even though I love this show).

D.Gray Man by Katsura Hoshino

Dorohedoro by Q Hayashida

To Your Eternity by Yoshitoki Ōima

Mushishi, made by Yuki Urushibara (aka Soyogo Shima).

Noragami which is written by two women, collectively named Adachitoka, similarly to romance author duo Christina Lauren.

Blue Exorcist by Kazue Kato

Dungeon Meshi aka Delicious In Dungeon by Ryoko Kui

Inuyasha (and Ranma 1/2 and Urasai Yatsura) by the absolute legend Rumiko Takahashi, which I know for a fact served as a gateway anime for a shit ton of people across generations (but especially for people my age).

I have to shout out Posuka Demizu, who illustrated The Promised Neverland, which is my favorite manga series. She may have given the characters weird looking facial proportions, but damn if she ain't one of the most detail oriented (and sneakiest) artists out there.

And finally, a little story you may know called Fullmetal Alchemist, written by Hiromu Arakawa (who also wrote Silver Spoon, the most recent manga version of The Heroic Legend of Arslan and lots of other stuff but I wanted to highlight those two specifically).

There's also been speculation that a little unknown manga called...what was it again?...Oh yeah, DEMON SLAYER is written by a woman (I don't care if the Hashira Training arc is terrible, there is still a lot I love about the writing and characters and fight scenes). But Koyoharu Gotouge's gender hasn't been confirmed so it's still just a theory.

idk, I just love women.

Art in the zine Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic. Sharrkan at the end of the manga, when he became king. I waited half year for permission to show the drawing. Yay!!!! Арт в зин по Маги: Лабиринт волшебства. Шарркан под конец манги, когда стал королём. Полгода ждала, когда разрешат показать рисунок. Ура!!!!!!!
