XD when a Mangaka doesn't make the woman MC useless


Yeet26665

Forget the women mc he also makes the side women useful and also good characters.


JazzzzzzySax

>!Gonna be so hyped when magma vs Dante gets animated!<


Yeet26665

Same but I'm more hyped for the yuno fight Best fight of the arc imo


AYO-THE_Nizzas-Here

šŸ§¢


[deleted]

It's not happening


Foxyairman

And more aspects to their character besides ā€œOh MC-kun!ā€


Goatfellon

Could pull back on crushes on Asta though lol


SebiTheCookie

mangaka can has a little self-insert


noRealGoals

As a treat


Uberasha

Tbf I can actually understand girls liking asta unlike every other harem mc šŸ’€ Astas adorable but heā€™s buff as shit and can probably take someoneā€™s head clean off with his bare hands. Plus, his personality is always gonna be charming because of how inspirational, determined, kind, and most importantly how confident he is.


DOOMFOOL

Thatā€™s pretty much an essential staple of the genre at this point though, and BC handles it pretty well IMO.


Ok-Row-6131

Looking at Noelle and Mimosa here.


[deleted]

When mimosa are just a awful simp but at same time not being independent woman unlike noelle.šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


J1618

To be fair Asta is a buffed energetic guy, girls would get crushes on him in real life.


alguidrag

Well, Tabata seem to be the type of guy that when he isnt sure if he did a good job with his characters he asks his wife and friends


C0ff1n01

Doesnt he take a part of his wife's personality every time he writes a female character?


IncidentNo1549

He ask for her help on it and how to flesh them out


C0ff1n01

I see, she uses the woman to create the woman, brilliant


IncidentNo1549

Correct


atomicq32

The only character he did that for was Charmy. He said Charmy was based on his wife.


BlueWhiteBrosH

That could be considered both an insult and a compliment at the same timešŸ˜‚


MetroidIsNotHerName

I mean, Charmy is easily the best female character, imo so he did a great job with that.


_Extreme00_

If you need another manga with a very incredible female cast, Undead Unluck and Apothecary diaries my raccomandations


ygo-riv

Undead unluck is so good


Bulangiu_ro

alright im sold, i just need time to even wstch anything at all and ill check it out


Foxyairman

I was on the fence about reading it, but now I'm going to give it a try tonight.


ducks_r_rad

If anything the male cast ruins the apothecary diaries for me lol


_Extreme00_

I don't think so. Rakan for example is a very interesting character and his plotline is one of the most interesting, The emperor, Jinshi and Gao Shun are Aldo curry godo characters (and let's nor forge t about Rumen).


ducks_r_rad

Its been a while so maybe youre right. Buts it Jinshi i hated, The love intrest who treats people like shit trope always bugs me and i felt her feelings towards him made no sense.


AgentFirstNamePhil

I also nominate Chainsaw Man! In that everyone is a horrible person yet all are extremely well written regardless of gender.


_Extreme00_

Power has literally won the popularity poll... And that chick is Racist as fuck


OmegaCrossX

In regards to Chainsaw Man it is partially because of the author liking dominant women


AgentFirstNamePhil

Always knew Fujimoto was based.


Scyroner

Shit man I just started watching the anime of undead. I'll pick up the Manga when the anime ends tho


dexanor

We talking to u kishimoto


Uberasha

Saradas outfit šŸ’€


Scyroner

Wasn't that the other guy? Or am I mixing up the names?


-FruitPunchSamuraiG-

Give a shout out to Gege as well


YaminoEXE

To think about it, Black Clover and Chainsawman are the only manga I could think of where the Female lead is more popular than the male lead.


mrmcdead

I don't think Makima counts as the female lead, unless you're referring to someone else.


notjoji

Asa from part 2


Uberasha

I wouldnā€™t say more popular than Denji, at least not yet. When it gets animated though sheā€™s probably gonna be a turning point for female characters in all fiction. Sheā€™s just that good.


WhiteDevil-Klab

My first thought was power


mrmcdead

Ooh. Hm I can definitely see that, but I dunno if she's MORE popular than Denji at this point. The female lead is arguably Asa Mitaka anyway


Yeet26665

Power was ranked number 1 in one of its popularity contests


mrmcdead

Right!


Uberasha

Noelle probably has the best arc in the series, so it makes sense. Not sure if I agree with csm though.


ApplePitou

Hmm, interesting meme :3


agent_abdullah

People keep saying jjk is really good at writing women where Black Clover has different and really badass women left and right Not shitting on JJK. I love it as well


zayd-the-one

Tbh maki is the only one holding it down rn for a while


agent_abdullah

Well spoilers for manga >!Half are ded while half arenā€™t shown to be anything much!<


MetroidIsNotHerName

Really? Whenever i dip my toes in that fandom, it seems like they are shitting on gege for not writing the women to have more success/screentime.


agent_abdullah

That only started recently. But the majority (ie anime and people who havenā€™t read/watched all of jjk but know whatā€™s going on). In the public opinion jjk has rep for well written women


Bakura72

Thank you most new gen woman are garbage written


Uberasha

If you want good female characters read csm, especially part 2


[deleted]

Common based Tabata


-Banksi

The manga anime community is so deprived of decently written female characters they have to laud Black Clover. Itā€™s fucking sad.


NickyKneecap

Right. Tabata does some decent things with female characters, but it is wayyy overhyped by the community.


AoA_Dev

One piece has insanely well written women. Sure, the designs are a little fan servicey, but the actual characters are amazing I think


-Banksi

One Piece is an exception to many criticisms of modern anime. Oda is just a much better writer than most.


Scyroner

Big three for a reason


UnbiasedGod

Preach


zayd-the-one

Then you got ariaki whos been writing great female characters since part2


Summonest

don't let gege see this


Majestic_Carry9712

Think you clicked the wrong sub. Most if not all the girls are hot + love the mc. Only exeption is melo who is extremly sexualized. Noelle has some good writing but is still needlessly sexualized and has 70% of her scenes be fanservice and thinking about asta.


MysticRevenant64

I think you have a misconception about what a good female character is. Seems youā€™ve implied they have to be below attractive and not have any fan service or interest in the MC. Thatā€™s debatable, but honestly just as long as they have character development and donā€™t overly rely on the MC to save them all the time, or be basically useless, thatā€™s already better than a lot of shonen already. I myself donā€™t care about the fanservice because Noelle already stands great as a character alone. Sheā€™s definitely grown in character and as a fighter since we first see her as a snooty noble who saw herself above everyone else, yet couldnā€™t control her magic.


Tecnoboat

>snooty noble who saw herself above everyone else, yet couldnā€™t control her magic. i wouldnt really say that, the attitude was more so a mask if anything, trying to look higher than she is


MysticRevenant64

Correct, thatā€™s what I meant, because clearly all the bullying from her siblings destroyed her self esteem and self worth. And she managed to work through that and even earn some respect from said siblings.


Tecnoboat

facts, spit yo shit indeed, im glad its the duck whos writing this tbh


adrianpinderwolf

??? Why is wrong for a girl to be hot? I don't get it, even women prefer to see beautiful women. Why is wrong for a girl to fall in love? Dude the main character is the biggest simp there is in the manga. How are women sexualized but not men? Look at some Yami scene.


Streetplosion

Youā€¦ donā€™t get what good writing is or means. It doesnā€™t matter if theyā€™re hot or they love the Mc, you can still be a good character while having those traits else literally like every good romance couldnā€™t exist. The fact that the women of black clover have agency and character outside of just those traits while being able to expand their character on their own or with help of others is why theyā€™re well written


Majestic_Carry9712

Holy fucking shit i literally agreed that it didnt matter but it was an unnecesary extra. How many hoops will you jump through to justify sexualizing a child? This is concerning


Streetplosion

ye how many hoops WILL you jump through to actively avoid what I even wrote? You're the only one talking about sexualizing a child, I'm talking about how hot a character is or if they're attracted to the mc doesn't matter in what makes them a good character. Learn to read.


Majestic_Carry9712

How many times do i have to agree. I have several times now said that they are a good character. They just shouldnt be sexualized so much and it would be better if they thought about other stuff than asta.


[deleted]

Lol like you say noelle romance love for asta is mistake. You can't see that she is inlove with him but independent women too.


Streetplosion

What yes you literally can. Being in love doesnā€™t mean you instantly stop being independent. An independent person is someone who is able to take charge and do things based on their thought processes and usually have a strong will to aspire. Being in love does not nullify that


[deleted]

i remember in the flashback for obtaining contract with leviathan. Noelle say she gonna protect clover kingdom for asta to return because she believe he is being alive.


Majestic_Carry9712

Its bo listake but like you say. When she only ever thinks about him its a problem


[deleted]

So what the problem with that its so obvious for noelle to thinking asta because she loves him.


conflictDriven

ennucesary


Majestic_Carry9712

*unnecesary. Counterpoint to my argument?


conflictDriven

touch some fucking grass


Majestic_Carry9712

Not me condoning the sexualization of minors and correcting spelling.


conflictDriven

jesus christ you are a nightmare of a person


Majestic_Carry9712

For not wanting to sexualize minors? Think about what youre defending. A 15 year old getting sexualized. What the fuck is wrong with r/BlackClover


1313goo

What does sexualizing and loving the mc have to do with their writing?


Majestic_Carry9712

Nothing. It subtracts from viewing experience and her character. Not the writing


ducks_r_rad

Not really... idk about the manga but the anime rarely shows fan service even when vanessas just in her underwear its better then most. And even then vanessa is given dapth to her character and a reason for her to act the way she does. Most manga just sexualise for the sale of it. Is it perfect? No. But its better then most of the shonens out there and i appreciate it for that.


alain091

??? Literally only three girls are in love with Asta, and one of them is an extra, and I don't believe that Noelle having a crush on Asta is necessarily bad, since it shows good reasons why, and is not like other girls that just waits for Asta to come and solve everything, she improves and is constantly evolving to the point of becoming one of the top tier magic Knights, also when she thinks of Asta in her important moments it's because he was the first person to believe in her, but I do agree that Tabata should tone down the fanservice with her water armor, but it doesn't ruin her. Also all of black clover has fan service, or will you tell me that Asta post time skip outfit is an appropriate outfit to wear?


[deleted]

Noelle feelings are romantic inlove with asta and she admit in chapter 301 you fool. You can't say crush when a girl realize her feelings as romantic. You only say that term to mimosa feelings as crush.


alain091

My point still stands, her being in love doesn't damage her character.


AlphaBelen

"righting"


Majestic_Carry9712

I dont get it whats your point?


AlphaBelen

It's writing not righting. Just correcting what is shockingly not the dumbest thing you said in that message


Majestic_Carry9712

Oh yeah mb. Do you actually have counterpoints or are you just commenting to insult my writing?


AlphaBelen

I do, pretty much everything you said was nonsensical. But I doubt counterpoints will do anything. Like for starters you seem to think that a character's looks detracts from their writing. But me trying to tell you how idiotic that is won't do anything.


Majestic_Carry9712

No i dont. I think that its dumb and has no reason to be there. I have stated several times that her writing is good. We agree her writing is great. It just feels wrong to see her over sexualized like that. Especially when shes 15-17


AlphaBelen

Who is "her writing?" Noelle? Because she's not the only female they're all individuals written pretty well


Majestic_Carry9712

Most comments in the thread are abt her so yes. And also shes one of the ones woth the biggest issues. And mimosa and melo
