As an American, when nobody gets shot in a sports anime, it really ruins my immersion.
It is so funny 😂😂😂
My man thinks gilbert arenas is the norm
Somewhere in a chess competition in the us: AND HE USES THE GLOCK!!!!!!!
@@rabadonsdeathcap7418The glock loses to the intercontinental ballistic missile variation
And he sacrifices the liver!
*Reads manga to escape reality
*Shonen realised this is why we read
Shonen adapts highly fictional manga into anime
*Somehow someone wants "realistic manga" adapted
*Shonen realised that's ehy you have a netflix subscription
*shonen said no need to adapt this
Baki is pretty realistic idk if it's shonen but it's very realistic, like people tanking nukes, fighting a 7ft caveman, fighting giant animals, being so strong you're considered the strongest creature. Very realistic
yea my grandpa was actually was shot inside his head and his brain dodged a bullet .
@@iosiasaemilius2795I actually remember a manga panel of a guy with sinister grin moving his brain to the side of his head to dodge a bullet you made my day lol
I never read nor watched Baki (someday, I swear) but I'm pretty sure it's a seinen.
Most realistic part in baki was when someone punched the ground to stop an earthquake , i do that every Sunday
@@shizukagozen777 yeah no manga that has the most menacing moment, pure savagery, pp training and slight gore with mostly fights in the screen while a narrator saying some science bs as a shonen
Even Daichi took one for the team
RIP Daichi-san... Tanaka hasn't recovered from that yet
literally
I fuckin hate you all because the only reason i got through haikyuu was causei wanna see that man die but to find out that it actually wasnt true... 😭😭😭😭
It was a nice kill on Tanaka's part tbh
Read Blue Box,its the most realistic romance manga i have read and the best one currently running in jump
I was scrolling to see if someone had already mentioned Blue Box
to be fair you don't usually see people killing each other in shounen jump either. unless it's the villain of course
The closest thing we have that's down to earth is Akane Banashi at the moment, and it's Rakugo haha
you're right. to add blue box, and the new mma manga. Theyre pretty realistic
We still had a tournament arc and the stories are starting to look like domain expansions
Did you know that shonen jump has a target audience because they learn from their mistakes.
The most realistic thing about highschool room of assassination or whatever is the kids in school shoot each other lmao
Ah yes, how can't we love the realistic setting of Berserk with its realistic magic and fantasy?
Well is dark fantasy for adults. Not shonen and not realistic.
I much prefer Gunnm where a 10m tall centurion who controls an organisation who wants to destroy a corrupt governement by making a city hanging in the sky fall onto another city below with a really big katana and a giant train-canon loaded with the brains of their fallen camarad
btw, that's just 1 thing that happens in this manga, a lot of other crazy things happens
(read gunnm, it's a cool seinen, it's underrated)
@@SirDieALot666 correct. its in an entirely different category of manga called "seinen". Shounen obviously meaning young boy, is aimed for younger kids. Not that adults cant enjoy shounen stuff like one piece or even dragonball
Well if you don't consider all of the magic stuff, it's technically a manga that is really close to reality, and that's why nobody wants to animate it properly
Otoko Ippiki Gaki Daisho: "Am I a joke to you?"
The proper word you're looking here is grounded
That and how it's executed, which is non existent in this medium
I remember Hikaru no Go being like a nice little buffer between the rest in SJ as a kid, and some people calling it too boring (although sometimes it was ngl...) but it really sets the stage when the most boring manga in the whole magazine had a ghost coaching a kid in a game. Especially when there was a *different* manga from the same imprint that also had a ghost coaching a kid in game (s) but that kid got possessed entirely and almost killed a few times.
Bro Hikaru no go was my shit and is so elite I watched that series so many times and the fact the moves are real makes it so much more enjoyable to watch multiple times . When I first watched I was a 30 kyuu a beginner so I watched it to just watch it and still loved it ,watched it again at 15 and it was a whole different experience and then later as a 1kyu almost Dan and was able to understand every little nuance of the show and it’s like a whole different world
@@NACentDSTM woah! I've literally never seen another Hikaru no Go fan, especially not one that actually played! Even though I never played myself I also thought the attention to detail was incredible. If I remember correctly they had nods to actual pros and would often include tips and breakdowns at the end of the chapter. I also liked that Hikaru grew into playing, didn't always win, and there was even a whole arc dedicated to Hikaru coming into his own and balancing Sai's desire to play. For a ghost possession series I know it's weird to say, but it felt realistic to the situation. Not everyone can be Yugi and Yami happily switching and totally cool with being possessed
@@BlackWizardClub sad u didn’t get into playing at least alittle bit especially because it does change how you watch the show when you understand everything and why some moves are bad or great and especially now since there are a lot of go channels on TH-cam .but glad you at least enjoyed the show .and yes I believe almost everything game wise was moderated by I believe he was a …4 Dan Pro so everything is pretty accurate and you could learn a lot from it just watching it I swear I jump up at least 3-4 kyuu every time I rewatch the series. Also I’m not sure if I would call it ghost possession since sai can’t actually do anything with his body it’s more like a ghost ..sensei or I guess ghostwriter but for board games lol but I guess close enough .
@@NACentDSTM I was interested in playing but I'm an impatient person so it never went beyond interest 😅 Technically Sai does occupy a part of his brain, he just doesn't physically control Hikaru so it's a haunting turned possession in mind only. It's a really interesting take on possession. I was a big Yugioh fan, but I loved Hikaru and Sai's relationship way more than Yami and Yugi. The way Hikaru grows an appreciation for the game and in turn admires Sai skill to point he take offense to someone disparaging Sai's previous "student" makes it feel like an actual bond and not a "ghost and the kid he possesses" thing
Blue box doesn’t exist ig 🗿 rip you were a good story 😢
As of now, Hunters Guild: Red Hood, Candy Flurry, and Neru: Way of The Martial Artist have all been outlived by a manga about a child having amnesia
I always thought Eyeshield 21 was pretty realistic and reasonable.
I wonder why doesn't Marvel make a more grounded action comics? It's always a costumed fighter with super power.
i mean in current circulation alone you have akane banashi and blue box on top of two martial arts manga
i would even argue tenmaku cinema is mostly grounded
That's because realistic isn't entertaining if you wanted to be entertained by something realistic it's called living your life The reason why manga is a thing is because it's unrealistic that's the entertainment factor
You know what else is on shōnen jump? To Love-Ru, no seriously, that sci-fi romcom is also in it
Don't forget about Hikaru No Go! I'd probably say that- excluding Sai-that that's the most realistic manga to make it into Jump.
Yeah, they kill each other in Slam Dunk. They kill each other's pride. 😂
He's been drinking the hateraid.
I think the most realistic manga on shonen jump would actually be Haikyuu. I wasn't sure at first, but it was or still is on there.
if you want something so realistic so bad then read a book
If no one is getting killed what is the fun then
Summary: It’s a comic book for kids and teens….
Theres this one manga, Bakuman and its probably the most realistic SJ manga
I forget what it was called. But I read a pretty dope racing manga that was pretty realistic
lol he wants ''realistic'' settings in manga like what? did he forget that real life entertainment exists for that
Yeah the first manga that popped into my head for being realistic was Haikyuu
I'd rather read Unrealistic/Fiction manga than realistic one. I read for fun not to read News in manga format.
Bakaman is one of my favorite slice-of-life Jump! manga, and it's just about a pair of ameteur mangaka who manage to get hired by Jump! magazine.
Hikaru no Go had some realistic settings
Fiction Manga with realistic themes and characters
Souji is so sweet and gentle when it comes to innocent, defenseless and weak creatures. It's not just cats but children too ❤. Idk It's like a softer side which emerges only with them and which contrasts with his sadistic killer tendencies
Dr. Stone? Wtf are you even talking about? That show is jpthing BUT realism. And before some of you come out here with the "so you're telling me humans can one shot lions" YES! Martial arts masters are superhuman nearly!
that's why the genre is literally called 'shounen' cuz its made for young boys. the over-the-top plot with ton of epic adventures, fight, and powers are literally what keep young boys entertained and hooked. ppl should stop bashing and hoping to "change" the shounen manga genre when those same ppl aren't even members of the original target members aka adults 🙄🙄
Bro if you think all shonen manga are like that then you probably really only read shonen jump manga. Weekly shonen magazine publishes tons of down to earth manga that arent too far from reality. Some of you guys dont know the difference between shonen as a whole and shonen jump
Vagabond? Vinland Saga? Ao Ashi? Great teacher Onizuka?
I knew this before cuz of bakuman, 10/10 anime must watch
Haikyuu? I think the only unrealistic thing about it is prb Kageyama's sets and maybe Oikawa's serves. Idk I think its pretty realistic. Unlike Kuroko no Basket
I bet you wouldnt have no problems if the MCs in these realistic animes were futas huh ?
the romance manga make it in because the otaku don't actually get girls
Dude other then the shounen animes most of animes nowadays are blusing girls,yuri kinda relation ship etc. Other than a deep story...
Haikyuu should probably be up there. It's a masterpiece.
“I don’t want realism, I want magic.”
Ehem let me introduce to you... BAKUMAN
haikyuu i think is the most realistic manga on shonen jump i can think of and even then for highschoolers theyre a bit too tall lol
Bakuman. was decently grounded & realistic
I like my shounen jump fantasy, thanks haha
I'm here for a man with chainsaws shooting out of his everything. Not property taxes
Why is Japan obsessed about useless childish comics that I would throw out at the age of 10 or 12
Won’t even allow my kids to read it a lot
Leave that stuff for kids
Yeah. the real good ones cant even find anywhere... Peoples taste is trash
There was this great anime about a group writing and selling mqnga at conventions. Anyone knows what it was called? I really liked it too
I don’t know man have you ever been dunked on before? Can be one hell of an experience especially if you get full on nutsack to the face….. might make you rethink the whole living thing or not I don’t know it’s not like I’ve been suicidal ever….. I have kids and a wife now and my wife is Japanese and feisty she’d kill me if I died just let that sink in.
I heard of an article where somebody accused Assassination Classroom to be responsible for school shootings. Oh Murica.😑
They need to cope somehow lol. It's impossible to get the gun laws changed, banning a book on the other hand is pretty easy
It was the teachers they probably come across the manga and read it description then without opening a single page they report it with such a dumb thought of "it inspire student to kill teacher" instead of reflecting themselves, they blame the manga.
Aren’t those books being banned from libraries 😭
@@GeneralSoupman they probably will be now.😁
That's like saying violence was increased because of violent games
Bakuman, probably the most realistic manga to ever grace the pages of Shonen Jump.
isn't it a manga about making it to shonen jump?
@@advanceringnewholder Yeah, well the first part is at least. It's basically mostly set around actually being part of Shonen Jump.
Making manga and get published into shonen jump is not realistic bro
@@AntonRealmec35 oh my bad, nobody has ever made manga of been published in Shonen Jump in the history of mankind 🙃
Blue box too
Realistic Manga not getting into Shonen Jump is like Dragonball not making it onto the Discovery Channel.
Imagining a Disney-ified Dragon Ball, and it's like a very washed down NickToons Kai, in which there's no blood, changed attack names, and the Ginyu Force sings a lot.
Goku gonna be on the next ancient aliens
Yeah, exactly, it's in the name, "shonen."

It’s weird how Shonen Jump only publishes Shonen manga. The world might never know the answer to this mystery.
Not the point of the video... You can make a shonen manga with realistic settings. SJ just rarely publishes it. Other publishers like Gangan Online for example published many realistic shonen mangas.
@@hoohoo431 Uhh okay? What does that have to do with my reply?
You know shōnen is a demography and not a genre, right?
@@ebc6970 they're just pointing out the stupidity in slice of life elitists. You guys can like slice of life all you want, whether it's anime or western novels, but that doesn't mean you should look down on people for enjoying fantasy. It's just lame.
@@spudermoth When did I look down on it? I'm just saying shounen doesn't just consist of fantasy stuff. I'm just explaining that. I mean, I Iike fantasy more than slice of life too. I haven't read or watched any slice of life recently. But reading the comments here, seems like most people don't know what the point of the video is or what shonen manga truly is. Sorry I have a bad way with words. Didn't mean to come off as looking down on it.
“Oh no, my fiction isn’t based in reality, whatever will I do?”
Not all fiction needs to be based in reality 😂
I read this in my annoying wonderland characters voice it fits and I hate it 😂
Bruh manga like bererk are not real but the interactions and feelings seem realistic, that's why seinen manga which are realistic are the best manga rather than the 12 yo no brainer shonen manga
@@hush-ik9mc watch the short again. His complaint isn’t that the characters are exaggerated or emotionless, but rather that you can’t say “yeah, I could do that” after reading a climatic moment in the manga
@@hush-ik9mcyes but sometimes I want that, an anime with cool action scenes that make it interesting rather than the meaning of life. Its just so simple yet entertaining
if i want realism i’d go outside 💀
Go on then
@@lana_del_Rei.neet-well he said if he wanted realism he’d go outside so I guess he doesn’t
@@lana_del_Rei.neet-counter point, I am outside... of your house
Yeah man
I love escaping reality
Assassination Classroom is pretty realistic.
It's a school, all the kids are armed and the teacher thinks he's an alien.
Now Now, he doesn't think he's an alien, that's just the backstop he makes up to cover up the much worse reality: that he was turned into that through some experimentation gone wrong
It's not realistic that students call his teachers bitch, the students can jump so high, the students can win against mercenaries without death on side of students
Welcome to 'murica
@@bambangslametwilujeng5221Yeah you kinda have to suspend disbelief and accept that some random kids trained 2 hours a day for 6 month can destroy mercenaries with years of experience 💀
very american
I don't mind the setting being unrealistic, I want the interactions and behavior to be realistic and human
Then Anime's not for you 💀
@@spudsbuchlawfax like what is bro expecting 😂
@@xenogale Needs to watch a Miyazaki😵
Bit tough to meet those conditions
Since the settings often affect the interactions that occur
If you want to scratch some itches however, watch Gintama, it has everything
Oh yea because we all know Koro sensei is definitely not an alien in any way shape or form
In other news, *WATER IS FUCKIN' WET*
I’m not here for realism I’m here to read a rubber boy stretch his arm into someone’s face

But dosen't students facing problems is quite realistic?
This man made a short over an issue nobody is talking about.
I wonder how many people missed his point over their head
@sortofblue and what was his point? I'm curious
@sortofblue actually what point is he trying to make?
@@sortofbluethere's no point to make. If people want realistic mangas, they'd just read a biography or go on with their own life
Its a piece of information
"the genre for 13 yr old boys have plots that sound cool for 13 yr old boys!!!" 💀💀💀
Fr
Nah they still sound cool even to a 27 year old
Shuumatsu no Harem and Maken-Ki, both shonen, suitable for 13 year olds
Got it!
@@Joshua_N-A yep thats what shonen means
@@midoriasakusait's a marketing label not some sort of unified author mentality. Also plenty of seinen seem made for 13 year olds who just really like video games and porn(no hate to porn but... I remember gantz).

Monster is still one of my all time favorites. No powers. No supernatural phenomenon. Nobody trapped in a video game. No fan service. Just a really good story with great characters
Innocent and Innocent Rouge are good, and also Flowers of Evil. Close to Monster.
20th Century Boys was written by the same author, though I haven't read it yet.
Monster was lovely.
If you don't mind a little bit of sienen fantasy I'd also recommend Berserk as it doesn't hurt (RIP Miura
Recommend me anything please I'm out of stuff to watch/ read.. ;^;
@@sageopland3976If you like thriller, then you might like "parasites". There's also "gantz" and "blame" if you like a more atmospheric and strange manga.
@@dustinnabil798 oh I loved so much about Gantz, I'll be sure to check out the others. Thank you ^u^
Kinda, if i recall correctly they did have supersoldier experiments and geneticism that seem to have worked unlike real life. But i think he was talking more about shonen and this is a Seinen.
"Beat & Motion" and "Blooming Love" are my favorites from SJ so far.
Read Blue Box, you will love it
But then again some people think that just because it’s realistic its better somehow.
Most realistic stories ends up to be the more highly acclaimed manga than the ones shonen jump publishes, probably the reason why there are claims that realistic = better, because most of the time it is
@@koppii2if it most of the time was then there would be way more knowledge of slice of life types of anime which in comparison to shonen animes there is not
@@koppii2Some of the most popular mangas of all time are Shounens, just look at Dragon Ball, Naruto or One piece. They have amassed billions of fans worldwide.
@reddfeather8007 as a huge fan of dragon ball; better =/= more popular. I've experienced some of the best shounen stories of all time but on average they simply can't hold a candle compared to more realistic manga
@@reddfeather8007 IIRC One Piece has the most sold atm, and is pretty much the antithesis of realism. You literally can't get any less realistic without going back to old rubber hose animation.
We get pretty realistic settings with most of the romance/slice of life stuff they publish
..... if thats realistic, I'm probably living in an imaginary world. I love my romance and slice of life but they don't seem realistic to me
But thats not shonen jump soooo....
Those genres kinda suck though
@@user-tr9rw7ne8x life sucks too tho
@@Warrion9876there are a couple rom-coms and slice of life’s on Shonen Jump, Nisekoi, Blue Flag, Bakuman, Blue Box, etc.
Superpower in Sports manga:
Giving a full background report on the technique or tactic within 3 seconds of action with a voice reaching half the audience.
We are all glad Slam Dunk and Haikyuu don't do that then.
Blue Box entered the chat
Fr
Akane-banashi has entered the chat
Blue Box is kinda a sports manga?
LMFAO Joey said realistic, kid.
Bakuman gave Blue Box a fist bump
My mind goes to Bakuman when I think of realistic mangas in Shonen Jump.
Totally agree
This video is the definition of saying a lot, but saying nothing.
Classic Joey LOL
As usual Joey thehentaiman
you definitely have no comprehension skills
@@trova4725 Must say I kinda agree with OP
It kinda is saying a lot and saying nothing at the same time.
First I think there is a misunderstanding. I guess people don't mean watching people do their taxes all day, but just how the story is written being "realistic". Like Lord of Rings feels very realistic due to the world being constructed very clearly and follows its own set up rules.
And then, I think that it still makes sense why manga in SJ or most Shonen isn't realistic, he doesn't really explain anything. Like for instance of Shonen isn't realistic, of course it often will rather do the cool thing or bring characters back from the dead than the more "real" solution, because it's for teens. It's supposed to be cool, it's supposed to be fun, it's supposed to be escapism.
Now that doesn't mean it cannot be differently or that the writing cannot seem believable.
I think Joey has a point, but doesn't really have a good argument to back it up with.
@@tobigrantlbart bla bla bla
Detective Conan is realistic (apart from the shrinking) and the success is totally deserved and it totally deserves its spot in Weekly Shonen
And how they still same grade after how many winter they have
Patlabor manga is shonen but the series is said to have the most realistic depiction of mechas in media.
But Conan runs in Sunday 😭
Any Adachi Mitsuru's manga is quite realistic but it's not in Jump unfortunately. Ichigo100% is quite realistic too compare to To-Love Ru, or Quintessential Quintuplets.
One of the most realistic mangas I have read on Shonen Jump is “Beat and motion”
It’s currently up to chapter 14
And Bakuman where teenagers aim to become manga artists
@@RazingPhoenix0079 except the women act like very strange tropes instead of human beings
BEAT AND MOTION IS SO GOOD!!!
@@RazingPhoenix0079wait instead of anime like in shirobako, Bakuman is about making manga?
@Adhjie Yep from the creators of Death Note. I really enjoyed it while it was serialized.
bakuman was good but even if it had a very realistic setting it was an idealistic story.
Nisekoi I think somewhat realistic as well, It focus to the romance side of Shounen Jump
@@muunprince1992eh, two gang successors trying to figure out if a key fits into a lock to honor a promise they made when they were children in my opinion isn’t quite the most realistic setting. Though who knows, maybe something like this happened to someone.
I was gonna say Bakuman too but it's a romanticized version of a mangaka's life.
If they removed the reincarnation aspect of Oshi no Ko, I would say that also counts as realistic.
I don't know why Bakuman is idealistic? It shows how hard it is for a mangaka's work to be published. And even if you got published, it's still hard to maintain it. You get a glimpse of how cutthroat the manga industry is.
I'm so tired of these "niche anime" elitists. I'm not gonna sit here and believe that tori no shigiru muyaki thats about a high school with some pink haired waifu thats a copy of all other "realistic anime" is better then one piece, which has a massive plot with countless twists, amazing characters and worlds, amazing tear drawing moments.
Like what you want, but I'm so tired of your type acting like shonen jump is stupid. Elitism at it's finest.
One Piece is a copy of Dragon Ball and thousands of Fantasy Novels. I don’t get how that can be better than people you can actually connect with.
@@thomasffrench3639you've never seen one piece, then. I have watched both dragon ball and one piece and the only simmilarity is Luffy who's inspired by Goku, but other then that there's no other simmilarities and they're vastly different.
Even then, luffy is vastly different from Goku. He has an extremely high emotional intellegence unlike goku.
Again, it's the whole elitist BS. A lot of us don't watch realistic slice of life crap because it's boring and bland.
@@thomasffrench3639If you think one piece is a copy of dragon ball then you've never watched a single episode of one piece or dragon ball, you sound like an ignorant snob who turns their nose up at everything.
Okay, let's look at the genre of anime here.
Shounen jump is a shounen anime manga publisher.
Shounen anime is literally just anime directed towards young boys. Action and adventure type anime.
What young boys have you met that want to read or watch a documentary?
Now how about an over the top action film?
Let's have these young boys read, idk, of mice and men... Do you think they would enjoy that more than, lets say, the hunger games novels?
Usually shounen jump is biased towards young boys and their interests, what would entertain them more so they'll buy more manga.
Thank you!! I get that us western fans have a pretty western view of jump but it's still a very Japanese publication with a predominantly Japanese audience.
I joke with my friends about how the shonen jump app is only like £2 a month and they all find that concept ridiculous. Most of my weeb friends don't even read manga and if they do they pirate or buy the odd tankoban. Jump is still very much trying to style their magazines after the kids that actually buy it, not the anime fans that only care about a series once it's been animated.
Dunno why a bunch of 20 something's expect a literal kids magazine to become seinen just because they grew up. Like there are magazines and independent manga that are aimed at that genre that they don't read either xD
Thats true, I guess those realistic or depressing or adult theme stuff gotta be publish somewhere else like a category
@@foggymistyhazyyeah there is a separate category for that called Sienen jump
Me as a young boy do love documentary
Yes finally someone said it. This guy just trying hard to be different.
Yeah you failed to say why they don't pick up realistic Manga.
Because seinen eats that shit up
Probably it is mostly about target audience which is shounen or boys. Most of the younger audience are facinated on unrealistic things like superpowers, cool fighting scenes or fantasy-like settings
@@rkconcepcion4387 its because shonen specializes in the FANTASY rather than slice of life, this guy is just a dirty neck beard posting weird takes with youtube shorts
@@Token_Nerd The consumers... Their audience is boys to young adult men.
Cuz it's shounen? If u want more mature stuff.. go for seinen..
Spy Family and Tokyo Revengers come to mind.
If Anya wasn't an esper and Takemichi didn't have his future memories, the stories could very well still stand on their own.
Buddy Daddies and Wind Breaker are proof of this.
However... there's something crucial you need to know... it's called a gimmick.
As a person who has read any amount of manga
i can tell you, there are slice of life, pretty realistic stories on Shonen Jump
There's a whole category called "Sit Back and Relax" that don't have fictitious settings
we are talking about action based mangas, not fucking slice of life 😭
@@goofygoober1601 no, he is literally talking about the shonen jump as a whole

Indeed, taizan 5 manga series, Blue box, akane banashi are all realistic premises. in the end of the day, if you want to only look for realistic settings than dont look for wsj obv lol. there is young jump
"Live action dramas generally don't make it into the cartoon channel"
That's a smart take ain't it?
Yeah, it's pretty much on the same level of insight.
Yeah I don't understand this take at all. This guy and the other crew I always see have such bad views on anime now. They basically have hit a point of being anime boomers in the worst way. They just say things and hope people agree with them. Cause what he just said is exactly what u said lmao. Now go record it and say it online to make money

Assasination classroom is being overrated and as someone who is familiar with the story it breaks my heart when i hear about the manga bans and accusations i wish these people would just sit together and watch the whole anime and if they dont cry tears at s2 ending then they are obviously not human.
facts. Assassination classroom is the only anime that made me tear up which is crazy.
@@ania3187they're not talking about the realism in the anime they're talking about the series being banned because of the title
Agree, the ending was really awesome, which is something I cannot say for most of my favorite Animes! Although, MC's transformation from a murderer to someone who wouldn't let anyone die no matter what did not make much sense, even if he did went through a traumatic death of his girl!
Do you know what underrated means? Because it is clearly not.
Underrated your ass. Child nowadays always use the word underrated when they dont talk to them about that specific stuffs everyday.
Maybe use internet when the series WAS still ongoing. Its a completed series, so its obvious not many talked about this title anymore esp when the conclusion is pretty satisfying.
It's not about realism or unrealism, it's about target audience. Shonen Jump mainly publishes shonen manga, ie manga for younger people, mainly teenage boys. When the content gets too mature, or violent or complex for a teenage audience it usually finds its place somewhere else. There's a correlation between shonen manga and fantastical settings but not causation
Blue Box out here breaking the mold, i love it.
Blue box so fire such an underrated new gen
not really when Slam Dunk existed in the 90s.
not to mention Bakuman, and there are countless other examples especially with sports series and romcoms in Jump. Jump has a massive catalogue of series. Idk why people act like it's only battle shonen in Jump.
@@MAYUTHEUNDEAD lol

If i wanted to experience reality, i would go out and watch people walk on the street. The very reason why i like manga and anime, as well as books, movies, tv shows, videogames is because reality for the most part is boring for me and i consider it a chore i have to endure to support my lifestyle. Yes, i live to experience joy of visiting fictional worlds and sharing these adventures with heroes and narrators and i'm not ashamed of it.

@@lana_del_Rei.neet-it's not a take though. It's their experience. He didn't say other types of manga were bad 😂
@@lana_del_Rei.neet- No, this is a great take actually. What people think "realism" in storytelling is, isn't actually realism. True realism is antithetical to the very concept of storytelling. Stories are always constructed in a teleological way, meaning the author has some kind of goal in mind when they tell their story. That's what makes something a story. An underlying logic that connects the sentences you put to paper both on a small and large scale. It's what distinguishes your words from the incoherent ramblings of a madman or an AI.
Stories are, inevitably, all about choices, they have starting and end points, arcs for plot and characters, themes they try to address. Reality doesn't do any of that. Reality is an almost entirely disconnected sequence of events that can only be rationalized post-hoc to appear like it's even somewhat cohesive. Reality doesn't start, it doesn't end, it doesn't follow along any kind of internal logic. In reality, stuff just kinda happens. In stories, everything that happens, happens for a reason.
People who bellyache about a lack of "realism" in stories are just pretentious and can't admit to themselves that creating and consuming stories is ultimately always a form of philosophical escapism from the void of meaning that is the real world. Whether the story is more fantastical or more "plain" and grounded ultimately just amounts to different flavors of the same underlying thing.
Oh brother , thats a very sad life. But each to their own. So many things learnt from these stories could be used to live real life but alas it goes down the drain
i read shonen jump manga to escape reality
😅
same, reality sucks and is just depressing.
City Hunter and Cat’s Eye have entered the room
Finally someone who remembers those two classic shonen manga's
Dude said realistic i dont think shoot a tank with a pistol and making it explode is realistic
@@raymartbenjamin1538Still more realistic than having any sort of spirit power, being about to travel to the afterlife or anything else that obviously couldn't exist in real life like exploding dudes by touching their pressure points.
There's also Rokudenashi Blues which was boxing if I remember right.
@@nicodalusong149Also "Rookies" a baseball manga from the same author.
Here in the Philippines, we still watch Slamdunk in 6am weekend
From what I have seen the most realistic manga are usually published by Kodansha
For example A silent voice
Wotakoi
A sign of affection
5cm per second
Ace of diamond
Haikyuuu will be the most realistic so far
That’s so strange that a company for entertainment would want their products to be entertaining 🤔
