43. I had the exact same thought during the future arc when i saw the roles Haru and Kyoko were reduced to, but then again, is there anything wrong with those roles? No there isn't, because someone has to fill the supportive role, and they aren't particularly strong, so what else can they do? Some of the female characters do fight, and they were helping in that way, but haru and kyoko don't, and they chose to help in what way they could. I have to emphasize this yet again that we need to start valuing the importance of traditional female roles instead of denoucning them, because only then will we start to see less misogyny and more equality. There is nothing wrong with a woman who fulfills the supportive role, and there is nothing wrong with a woman who performs an active role. And one cannot forget that Japan is more traditional then the west when looking at anime too...

The problem is when there are only women filling the "traditional female" roles. There are weaker men too (just not in that manga, which is the point).

[post-position.livejournal.com]

I understand that, and I agree, but it's hard to find that in a shonen manga anyway. I'd love to see it more often though @.@! shonen manga in general could certianly use more men in the supportive category that's for sure >.>

[ashesto.livejournal.com]

It doesn't really seem that way? I mean, you've got Basil there too who carries a WASHBOARD around and gets his ass kicked in general, and Fuuta who's a support role through and through (taking care of Lambo and I-pin in Future Arc, etc), and I dunno? There's a pretty good range there, I think.

[crackjaw.livejournal.com]

I haven't actually read the manga, so I can't argue the finer points. It does seem to be the general trend, though.

[ashesto.livejournal.com]

Aaah, yeah, that's definitely true. ^^; It's a pity, really!
