Edgy shounen still exists in certain magazines.
Anyone in this thread even knows about the series that ran and those currently running Champion RED and Shounen Champion?
>>152815494
Shigurui
Apocalypse Zero
Franken Fran
DEAD Tube
Shiki
Fire Punch
World's End Harem
All shounen, I can't believe you faggots think shounen manga with gritty shit or too much lewd is a thing of the early nineties and before.
>>152818712
Now you would be hard pressed to see a single droplet of red blood in recent Dragonball works.
>>152818634
Most people are complaining about wsj. Also champion red has seinen I mean they publish dead tube and that sure as hell aint no shounen.
>>152818714
I'm genuinely surprised at Shigurui being published in a shounen magazine. I can certainly understand that artist's other works because it's mostly immature T&A edgy shit starring my chuuni little brother's original character, but Shigurui is very different in tone from Apocalypse Zero. When I think "edgy samurai shounen manga" the first thing that comes to mind is Samurai Deeper Kyo.
>>152818831
>Also champion red has seinen I mean they publish dead tube and that sure as hell aint no shounen.
You can't be this retarded, Champion RED and everything in is Shounen, from Saint Seiya to DEAD Tube, people shouldn't browse /a/ till they what a demographic is and the magazine that a series runs in is what defines what demographic they belong to.
Champion RED Ichigo is the Seinen counterpart to Champion RED.
>>152818932
You fucking retard ichigo doesnt exist anymore. Champion red is now both shounen and seinen.
Now fuck off back to reddshit
>>152818908
>but Shigurui is very different in tone from Apocalypse Zero
Ironically he would go on to remake Apocalypse Zero with the same tone as Shigurui.
It's called Exoskull Zero
>>152818932
>You can't be this retarded
The irony
>>152819014
>Champion red is now both shounen and seinen.
There's no such thing, it was never Seinen, it will never be.
What even goes through your head to think this, how the hell it would ever work.
>Champion RED runs 15 series, half shounen, half seinen, gotta make sure people cut the magazine in half when they sell to people under 16.
>>152818294
No it's not.It is great though.
>>152819111
> implying this is shounen and sellers will allow u-16 to buy it
Fuck off. If this shounen mods cant ban me
I seriously hope you guys realize that some shounen magazines target people in their late teens and early twenties, for example Monthly Shounen Sirius' demographic is "from ages 16 to 21", which heavily overlaps with seinen magazines aimed at younger adults like Weekly Young Jump.
>>152819230
Another retard that thinks content is what defines the demography.
>>152819230
The same way World's End Harem runs in fucking Shounen Jump Plus.
Now go get yourself banned.
>>152819277
Yeah because murder/rape/gore is for kids. Champion red is not the same as wjs the age demographic is different even if they are both technically shounen.
>>152819380
>Yeah because murder/rape/gore is for kids.
Go Nagai and similar edgy crap is indeed for kids.
>>152819380
So you agree that it's shounen. Good.
>>152818714
>>152818908
To be fair, Shigurui got moved to Champion RED Ichigo the moment the latter was created. What does that make it?
This is seinen
>>152819503
>So you agree that it's shounen. Good.
Not the same guy who said it wasnt shounen but I do agree that the age restriction is different then other shounen magazines
>>152819380
So you gave up on disputing wheter Champion RED was Shounen or not?
Sure Weekly Shounen Jump and Champion RED's intended age for readership is different, but both are Shounen and a 14 old teenager can buy both of them as the same place no problem.
>>152819503
>Shigurui got moved to Champion RED Ichigo the moment the latter was created. What does that make it?
Late game Seinen?
Like the reverse happened with Yomeiro Choice, the first volume was on Champion RED Ichigo, then remaining 5 volumes ran in regular Champion RED. Seinen to Shounen, but the contents did not change.
>>152818512
Yes , is Kasumi in the pincle fight
>>152819533
This is Seinen
>>152819230
Dead tube is fucking trash. Started off promising but now its just braindead cancerous shit writing.
>>152815922
Edginess is overrated. Only ones who keep getting excited about it are underage kids.
>>152819230
>>152819770
Goddamnit, stop making me pick up these trainwrecks just to see how bad it can get. I'm already reading a dozen isekai.
>>152819896
The start is quiet good.Its just the ending of the previous arc and the current arc who are fucking garbage.
>>152819770
It was never that good, sure it is losing its momentum, but it still is the same guilty pleasure thing.
The fact it still is running, while all other series the author was writing got finished is proof enough the people who buy it in Japan just wants to see how edgy the edgefest can become.
This is underground avant-garde.
>>152815494
This is also shounen
shonen back then

Alright.

But the greatest cuck in shounen history is pic related
>>152818512
> I remember his punch breaking the sound barrier being a thing, and Retsu just roflstomping all over it.
You are thinking of Katsumi and Retsu during their maximum tournament bout, during which Katsumi's ''supersonic'' fist is just a tag line.
Later on, during the Hanma Baki/Baki:son of ogre manga, Katsumi does develop an actual supersonic punch to fight against a preserved superhuman caveman named Pickle (yes, this is an actual thing that happens).
If you like the series and haven't read up to that part, I highly recommend you to get on that, since it's just an insane amount of fun.
You are retarded for arguing over what is shonen and what is not, it's just a name splattered by a publisher on a magazine. It's the content that defines the readership and that's the only thing that matters, "target demographic" doesn't mean shit.
You can make a BL magazine and call it "Weekly Shonen Faggot" that doesn't mean school kids will start buying it en masse.
>>152820581
Yeah but people sort it by that name, people go to shounen if they want something lighter to read, not heads being chopped off and mass genocides everywhere.
>>152820446
I'm pretty much up to date all the way with the Musashi stuff, I just don't remember Katsumi's arm exploding like that during the Pickle fight. Is this the same arm Pickle ended up eating? It's been years...
The page posted says "Hanma Baki vol 16 end" so I just assumed it was from the original series (which I haven't read).
>>152820678
But it's inaccurate.
>>152818294
>>152820446
same (shounen) series; much later chapter
>>152820678
Only if they don't know much about manga.
Shonen magazines are full of violent battle manga, while seinen has plenty of iyashikei and cute stuff.
>>152820581
How did you came up with all of this nonsense? Reading into stuff that isnt even said or implied. Fucking degenerate sperg.
>>152820282
>AnJ
Oh fuck, I almost forgot about that.
There's also the MC in Ah! My goddess who's probably one of the most pathetic male MC ever.
>>152820692
Is this the same arm Pickle ended up eating?
Yes
Blame Wild Fang for the series name confusion - these are their real names, and how they go in order:
Grappler Baki
Baki ("New Grappler")
Hanma Baki ("Son of Ogre")
Baki Dou
>>152820793
There was a whole retarded debate before my post, did you not read it?
Shonen/seinen/etc is just indicative of which magazine it was published in, nothing more.
>>152820805
>Ah! My goddess
Ended up with something in the end.

>>152820882
Yeah, neutered like a dog by a sociopath.
>>152820764
I hadn't noticed the fingers lying around before.
Man, I love this series.Even though it's filled with over-the-top violence it never actually goes full chuuni edge or have the cast moping around like some emo current-times grimmdark superheroes.
It always mantains a sense of sel-aware fun without actually derolving into parody or dark slapstick humor.

always compare by volumes, not chapters. JoJo has been monthly for the past decade or so.

Hokuto ShinKen really is one of the most horrifying ways to murder someone, you could literally poke someone and cause their entire body to slowly rip itself apart after hours and hours of unimaginable pain. By comparison a gunshot would be lovely.
>>152825911
Right but doesn't volumes usually have a similar page count?
