Women have a history of writing books in Japan before men I believe.

What happens is that women develops romance much better than men, compare naruto's ending with fma ending. She developed the married with kids ending MUCH better

I remember seeing another manga by arakawa but was somewhat disappointed by the fact that she re-used alot of designs from FMA. Or vice versa as I'm not sure which came first.

At writing male characters in romance? Yes. Men can write other men when it comes to

But when it comes to romance, male authors write terrible self-inserts. Female authors are the only ones who can write interesting, likable male characters who fall in love with girls.

Easily the two shallowest protagonists in Shakespeare's arsenal. I don't understand how the guy who wrote Macbeth and Hamlet wrote these two caricatures.

Noragami is also written by a female duo and even though it's a shounen, it doesn't use any shonen tropes and all the arcs are quite original too.

>>148196970
Silver spoon went into indefinite hiatus. It's still "coming out" due to slow translation.

>>148193113

Yeah without a doubt

For gigantic sprawling ones like most long running shounen like dragon ball and one piece?

Probably not. I just don't see any woman having the fortitude to keep doing the shit that it takes to keep your consistency and art quality while sleeping 2 hours a day for 20+ years and drawing from your deathbed.

Nice generalizations. A good deal of this thread is nothing but extrapolating from a few popular series written by females that female writers are better than men but the fact stands that no one who argues for it has proven so. And even if given a good example like >>148201097 should it not be a testament to that mangaka's ability? Instead what I see is posters extrapolating that by far and wide that women are better writers than men when in fact those posters do a disservice to the examples they praise by equivocating hacks like >>148199298 to them.

>>148201397

>>148193553
>they peak higher than men
I disagree, men peek higher than women on almost anything, this is simply due to the fact that men have a much wider distribution among any given trait.

it is true even if one were to grant you that females in general are the better storytellers(which I do).

>>148193113
Maybe at certain things but I don't think there is anything inherint to women that makes them better storytellers then men.

If I list some of my favorite series off the top of my head and sort by sex you'd get something like this (just sticking with the ones that are still updating)

- Male
Hunter x Hunter
Alice in Borderland
Berserk
Karakuri Circus
Gleipnir
Jitsu Wa watashi wa
Keyman The hand of Judgement
Shiori Experience
Hell's Kitchen (male author)
Hakumei to Mikochi

- Female
Birdmen
Silver Spoon
Houseki no Kuni
Ballroom e Youkosu
Otoyomegatari
Hell's Kitchen (female artist)
Youkai apato no yuuga na Nichijou (female artist, authors sex unknown)
Dorohedoro
Dungeon Meshi
The ancient magus' Bride

It's pretty much split 50/50. I don't think women are inherently better at telling a story or drawing. I'd probably conclude that women tend to tell more compelling romance stories or at least depict relationships on a more emotional level. And I'd say the male authors are better at conveying action and suspense. But those are just generalizations and it's like saying the action in Dungeon Meshi isn't exciting, or the romance in Jitsu wa isn't legitimately heart warming.

The whole meme about women being better mangaka might just be a result of there being fewer female mangaka out there so the ratio of "good/mediocre/shit" series can be skewed. Other than that I don't see any reason to actually think that women are just better then men at telling stories.

That's not what I'm seeing. I'm reading unsubstantiated claims such as the one I quoted in my original post and merely responding to them in kind by asking where they speak from.

Male mangaka have had limited female contact so they do not know how men interact with women. Virgins. So sad

>>148207862
I'm not him though anon. If you want to know why I think the industry is still slightly male dominated it's because while Jump has one Shojo magazine it has maybe three shoney ones . Even assuming that each shonen magazine has a couple of female Mangaka there are still more men right?

If you don't have a hard statistic that's fine I just asked because it seemed like you knew.

>>148205924
Actually FMA manages to steer clear of certain shonen tropes that other series didn't
-MC isn't boarderline autist/retard savant who lucks into being the best fighter

>Ed wasn't even the strongest character in the series until the very end and even then it did not last. He was legit smart and often used his wits to take down stronger opponents through alchemy or otherwise

-Supporting cast is basically completely useless and only there to get beat down or be killed by the bad guy so the MC gets pissed and gains a power up. ( looking at you DBZ and Naruto) basically a bunch of fucking jobbers with one effective fighter who is godlike in comparison to them.

>Again Ed isn't even the most powerful character in the series until the very end. Every character gets their spotlight and time to shine. You had Greedling taking on the Army and Wrath, you have the very badass scene of Alex and Olivier teaming up with fucking Izumi and Seig taking on Sloth.

>Fort Briggs soldiers being badass motherfuckers. Mustang just fucking Envy and Lusts's shit up royally

>Even the fucking Chimera guys had a time to shine

If this were like Bleach, Mustang would lose nearly every fight and surely wouldn't kill off two major antagonists with such ease. Or he'd be half dead after the fights and get one shotted when the next guy showed up.

The Females are actually useful. Izumi, Lan Fan, Olivier ,Hawkeye, etc are actually usefull to the shit that's going on.

I guess you could attempt to make a case for Winry, she basically keeps Edward up and running so to speak so he can go out into battle with fucking upgrades, and other than a few moments she has the sense to stay the fuck out of the way when she isn't going to be of use.

It actually knew when to end. Didn't out stay it's welcome. My descendants will be reading new chapters of One Piece put out by Oda who will just be a fucking Brain in a Jar , hooked up to a robotic exoskeleton

>If you want to know why I think the industry is still slightly male dominated it's because while Jump has one Shojo magazine it has maybe three shoney ones . Even assuming that each shonen magazine has a couple of female Mangaka there are still more men right?
Since when does Jump have a shoujo magazine? It's a fucking male line, Shueisha's shoujo/josei magazines go by different names. This argument makes literally no sense.

She's not a good example, she's a goddam cunt

Did Shojo beat get shut down?

>>148208465
>Shoujo Beat
Shoujo Beat wasn't Jump in the first place. Nor was it even a proper magazine, it was literally just an American publication that collected various manga from different magazine. And it was shut down like eight years ago. I'm beginning to think you don't have the slightest clue what you're talking about.

Their het hentai is usually better.

>>148208540
>I'm beginning to think you don't have the slightest clue what you're talking about.
Which is why I am asking questions you fucking autist. I haven't looked at a magazine for Manga since Shonen jump went digital.

>Actually FMA manages to steer clear of certain shonen tropes that other series didn't
Not him but if all it takes to categorize a manga as good is to steer away from tropes then your setting the bar quite low.
>Ed wasn't even the strongest character in the series until the very end and even then it did not last. He was legit smart and often used his wits to take down stronger opponents through alchemy or otherwise
I'll give you that Arakawa knew how to show how inexperienced the protagonist were once they got out of their small village.
>The Females are actually useful. Izumi, Lan Fan, Olivier ,Hawkeye, etc are actually usefull to the shit that's going on.
Another fair point.
Even so I still would argue that FMA isn't as great as many claim it to be. The majority of the manga had Edward and Al stumble cross Amestris sometimes coming across a fragment of the grander conspiracy or learning how inexperienced they were. Tthe beats of the story were too pronounced that it failed to elicit much joy out of me; that is Arakawa was almost hitting point for point "this is where Ed/Al will learn X." Might not be a problem to some but it felt too overt at times (the arc where Ed/Al try to help that pregnant woman but couldn't do much) as if she had to point out to her readers that this is important or completely shallow (the whole truth schlock alchemy gate thing). That said, the pacing and plotting falls apart immediately after Ed/Al & co. get swallowed by Gluttony with the complete breakneck speed and shallow developments that some supporting casts experiences (Mustang and Scar specifically). And by the end of the series, you get a completely by the books typical shounen battle manga finale where the MC ends up fist-fighting the antagonist. Again this might not be a problem for some but I expected more from what Arakawa was building up in the first few volumes. It's not great but it has its moments where it shines brighter than most other series.

>>148208831
Google didn't give any results on industry statistics. Now taking a casual look at magazine lines I still count more male demographic magazines. No breakdown on Mangaka is readily available so I would need to go through each one.

I had thought that maybe asking a question in a thread about this topic would yield some help and admittedly i don't know more about the topic already. But one again /a/ proves to be too autistic to do more that bitch at itself.

That's the joke. The person in that image is a female mangaka who was laughed at for her unintentionally humorous portrayal of marksmanship.

>>148193310
They really aren't. Most of the most famous stories in history have been written by men. Even then at the end of the day it's all subjective. Stop trying to stroke women's egos, it's not getting you laid anytime soon.

I'm guessing you're both either women or you're just incredibly self-loathing.

Here's a tip anon: if a historical document is labelled "Anonymous", it was probably written by a woman.

Nah, sex has nothing to do with it. At the end of the day both the sexes have individual traits and aspects to one another and most of them are gonna be affected more by social enviroment than anything else, not cognitive biology.

Why do you guys feel the need to have some weird gender war about everything? FMA is a good manga to me personally but acting like it's a sign that women are superior to men in every way, shape or form, is retarded. Why does this thread exist?

>>148210249

This thread exist because the op wanted a little of spotlight to unnapreciated female mangaka

>>148210443

I'm pretty sure this thread exists because OP wanted to start a shitposting gender war.

>>148210443
He isn't. Otherwise he wouldn't title it "Are female writers better?". He's being chauvinistisic, but that's fine as long as you're being chauvinistic about women.

>Bitter virgin
>manga about rape where she also wrote about her experience with miscarriage
>followed it up with Girls Saurus, a comedy fanservice fest about a guy who with a harem that keeps trying to rape him

How do you go from one extreme to the other like that?

Do male or female Mangaka tend to take more hiatuses ?

>>148210514
>most famous documents were written by men
>w-well remained anonymous
>can't name any or even prove that the majority of anonymous writers were women
worthless. go back to tumblr, you're pushing back gender equality even more with this lame ass shit

>>148210924
Other way around. Girls Saurus (and Girls Saurus DX) was first, the miscarriage came after, and then she did Bitter Virgin. She's done a large range of stuff tonally, though.

some of you guys are seriously arguing about this shit instead of posting work from female mangaka?

>>148213704
I can't think of any smaller manga made by women.
There's like...lucifer and the biscuit hammer and tomako.

>>148214207
>lucifer and the biscuit hammer
Done by a man

I find this kind of bait OP lame but I guess if you go "post great works by female mangaka" it'll get accused of being a rec thread.

>>148195544
That's how western women write anon, not the Japanese.

>>148193425
I know it's sort of weird, Romi Park is Arakawa's "face" meaning that she represents her at events. Arakawa is pretty infamous among mangaka in Japan for never showing her face.

For all we know, she could be a dude.

>>148193113
Damn, she's fine as hell. I always pictured her as a short, old Asian lady.

>Western world thinks anime and manga are super pervy and misogynistic and should be banned as a sin against women
>A large part, perhaps even the majority of the industry and its history was pioneered by female artists, writers, and doujin groups
>Many of the tropes and cliches were also invented by females
