lmao

Why is there a problem with that? She doesn't have to work for the rest of the life now if she chooses to. So why not take the money and go for a long holiday?

>>281581688 (OP)
What did it influence?

>>281581688 (OP)
Best-selling, sure, but influential?
Name one series that ripped it off.

Isn't she a girl? Also she was probably a plant by the Japanese government.

Nothing. Demon Slayer is as wide as an ocean and deep as a puddle. The story is nothing out of the ordinary, it's just another generic demon hunting story among many that came before and after it. Even a child child could come up with a premise as simple as that, because it's literally "Kill the Demon King" and that's what the characters do. It's a series with an empty world, paper-thin characters, no plot twists, zero intrigue. It has nothing that makes it stand out compared to other works like Naruto, One Piece, DB, Bleach, HxH, JoJo, JJK, CSM and even MHA.

The only reason why people put it next to those works is because of how much it sold and not its artistic merits, all in large part thanks to Ufotable. There's a reason why this manga underperformed for 3 full years until Ufotable bailed it out. Which should also tell you how artistically empty Demon Slayer is, because sales is the only thing this series has going and not what it brings to the table of shounen canon.

So when people say, "I like Demon Slayer", they don't mean they like Demon Slayer by Koyoharu Gotouge who really had not much to do with its success. They mean they like Demon Slayer by Ufotable, who turned an otherwise unremarkable manga into a completely different product.

She was smart enough to fuck off and live her life as she pleases. The smartest decision possible

>Isn't she a girl?
Nope. Wikipedia would salivate the opportunity to call the MTF tranny a woman first chance they get. Nobody outside the Latinx fandom that makes up KnY's fanbase calls the KnY hack a woman.

>>281581688 (OP)
It influenced literally nothing, retard

>>281581995
Their gender isn't known for sure, but they did mention wanting to be called with a neutral pronoun and, iirc, it was leaked that they were a girl because someone who worked with them addressed her as a woman

>>281582466
>it was leaked that they were a girl
That "leak" is a second hand source from that idiot Ken Akamatsu. Wikipedia doesn't even accept it as a reliable source and this should tell you everything because Wikipedia are VERY careful about their sources. Your claim has to be:
>Cited (no proof)
>Non-speculative (KnY hack's gender is speculation)
>Sourced from mainstream media, government documents, or official publishers (nothing)
>NOT fan blogs, YouTube claims, or "I feel like it"

>>281581688 (OP)
I keep thinking this is that 100 days manga when people post this.

>>281581995
have you read Kimetsu no Yaiba? Only a female mind could draw the characters like that

>>281582891
And only an incel male mind could write female characters as awful as the female characters. N*zuko is such a non-character that you could replace her with a dog and nothing about the plot would change or the pink bitch crying
>boo hoo no one wants to marry me cause i have pink hair :(

Come on, every prominent manga business insider once attested that she's a woman.

>>281583004
Ehh female Jump authors can be just as bad as their male counterparts. Take Amano Akira, for example. Kyouko was such a nothing character.

>every prominent manga business insider once attested that she's a woman.

If Wikipedia doesn't refer to the KnY hack as a woman, then he's not a woman.

Peak writing

It, its awards, records and sales makes J go insane, so it was all worth it.

>>281583097
Why are you assuming they are a man anon? Because you have trouble a woman might have destroyed One Piece's records? Or is it simply because you are starving for dicks?

>>281583335
>One Piece's records?
He only cares about DB, to an obsessive degree.

>>281583004
Literary Chrome Dokuro from Hitman Reborn so yes, Wani is a woman.

>>281583010
>"every prominent manga business insider"
>It's just some western twitter tranny faggots who steal shits from japanese account
>the only reason they claimed the mangaka as a woman is because they want to score some brownie points by appealing to feminist on the internet.

It's literally impossible for KnY to be influential because it doesn't have a single original idea.

Influential is the wrong word. The manga is extremely generic, it hasnt brought ANYTHING remotely original to the table. Its as if an AI was ordered to make a cookie cutter series. The correct term is impactful, its impact rivals the biggest series in history

>>281581688 (OP)
carried entirely by ufotable. Just go look up the chapters that episode 19 adapted. It was full of unnecessary exposition which ufo completely do away.

Sacrificing all those children paid off.

>>281582499
Wikipedia are very careful about their sources because they're scared of getting fucked hard by the courts (although their aversion to video sources is just pure autism)

>>281581688 (OP)
Ufotable made 99% of the job. She's a hack

>>281583033
If gender makes no difference when it comes to writing then why thinking she's a woman?

>>281583097
We've been through this. Gotouge is a crocodile.

>>281582351
Holy seethe

>>281586159
Are you surprised autists online are concerned about details? And gender does make a difference, not in quality, but in the way of writing some things.
Every gender has equal potential at writing the shittiest things this world has read

>>281581688 (OP)
its normal

>>281587409
>And gender does make a difference, not in quality, but in the way of writing some things.
Nope. Context is what makes the difference. The way you are raised, the place where you live, your social class, all of this influences much more than gender.

>>281581688 (OP)
not my problem

>>281581688 (OP)
demon slayer was a timeflop, nobody talks about it nowadays, even though the anime isn't over

>>281581764
Have you not noticed all the KNY clone attempts? Most get axed but arguably Kagurabachi is edgy KNY and it became successful.

The exorcist bullshit push was solely because of the stupid chief editor, and that shit stopped as soon as he stepped aside.
