Im sick of all the generic shonen heroes and and beta male cucks that seem so common in anime and manga these days.What are some manga with main characters who break the mold?

Natsuo of Teppu is a great example, shes tall, strong, naturally talented to an absurd degree and shes a bitter spiteful bitch who gets off on demonstrating her superiority to other and whose sole motivation is humiliating her rival.

This, to a degree

I'm sure when we read those manga or watch that anime with the """"humble"""" beta male who'd rather stare his adversary down(who is literally stomping him in the head) than put up a fight, I'm sure most of us are pulling our hair out because of his inaction. This is of course, assuming both him and the asshole antagonist are equal. I hate it when the protag just stands there all shocked at the villain, who takes the moment to monologue and cackle, usually with that good ol' shit eating evil grin, who then proceeds to wail on our protag-not because he's weaker, but usually because he's to beta to do anything.
>>
Yasaburou is THE most unorthodox protagonist I have ever fucking seen in an anime. He has no notable agenda other than to make his immediate surroundings interesting. He's the kind of character that more often than not would show up occasionally and hint that he orchestrates the calamities going on around the protagonist, all for the sake of his own amusement. But he himself is the protagonist, doing all that, while being incredibly smart while also equally stupid.

Despite this his portrayal makes him highly relatable and genuine as a person, who balances his responsibilities and obligations to his family with his own personal mission to make his life as interesting as possible.

Yeah no not really. I'm sick of this shit where endings are always cliche as possible, give me something with an unconventional ending for once. Have the protagonists or lose, or the MC not just go along with whatever ideals the other hero characters try to coax him into despite being the most stubborn person in existence. I don't consider a cliche, predictable and disappointing ending "a better manga". That's pretty much the worst outcome possible actually.

Generic shonen usually dont tackle the subject like that. Instead of powerlevel shit, everything in Samidare was about characters gaining wisdom and mental empowering through various means including digging holes on a mountain.

>>158689182
An unconventional and for unconventional ending's sake is shit. The ending has to make sense in-story, be cinsistent with it, feel right, and Samidare's definitely did.

>an unconventional ending

>consistent
Fuck my fingers.
>>
>>158689462
Only if they didn't write the story with that kind of ending in mind, and making sense in-story doesn't make a cliche ending any less predictable and boring. It wouldn't have been inconsistent in-story even for it to have ended differently. Which just makes the ending all the more disappointing because you know it could have pulled off them destroying earth and they went for the generic route anyway.

10/10 bait though, the beginning had me really excited to see what would happen.

>>158689460

>>158689530
Destroying earth is shit, m8. Of course the story was written in a way that wouldn't end it in the destruction of the planet. Because that would have to be an edgy crap of a manga with sociopathic characters.

>>
>>158689530
There'd be no greater meaning or theme with them destroying Earth, really. Just a gut punch with the other characters feeling betrayed and a big explosion which would also invalidate any growth and development the cast had during the story (the best part). It's bad.
>>
>>158689534
Well, yeah, if you're saying that a well thought out and written cliche ending is better than a terribly done half-assed unconventional ending, no shit. But that's not always the case and if someone can write a consistent story there's no reason they shouldn't be able to make the ending unconventional. Doesn't even have to be "edgy", it can just have some of the characters incredibly convenient luck in certain moments go the wrong way. Or, maybe not even that, just write a story about completely different characters with completely different behaviors. Have a story with no clear "villain" and "hero", have the protagonists be more than just vessels for cheap cut and paste morals and ideals. I do like Samidare a lot for that, the main character was more than that. There are a lot of things that can be done "unconventionally" that don't have to just be a black and white thing.

I don't just want subversion for the sake of subversion, I want unconventional things because repeating the same thing over and over gets boring, and I want to see people get creative.

>>158689662
Oh no, it might be edgy. I guess we can't have that now. Why the fuck does there need to be "greater meaning to it" anyway? And that's assuming you're right, which you aren't. There's no reason why it can;t have greater meaning, it would just be in a different and abstract way. Not every message needs to be optimistic or "good" anyway. If we can't have that just because it's "edgy" then what the fuck is the point in trying to write at all? Just to reiterate the same old story as always? I'm not a teenager, but I guess I am immature. That doesn't change my own feelings on things though.
>>158689803
I guess it would detract somewhat due to the fact that his character had changed by the end, but if he had simply remained the same or similar it wouldn't have changed the plot at all. Besides, he was always debating whether or not to go through with it, there's no saying that he couldn't have made a split second decision at the eleventh hour through some rush of conflicting emotions.

But maybe other people aren't like that and I'm just projecting, I don't know.

You dont read a story just to see things happen, you usually want to connect with those things or find meaning in them. Unless they're just THAT entertaining.

I feel like you expected something that this manga did not set out to do and that's kinda understandable because the story stays ambiguous about it until the end while it was building something else. That could be disappointing for some but it worked for me because the other characters and their interactions ended up stealing the show.

Beta males are still less cringe than female protagonists.

Females can't be protagonists of anything, they're designated by nature to be on the sides. Why do you think all greatests scientists and artists are all men? Because they are the superior sex and the protagonists of life itself.

>>
>>158689966
Of course I want to connect with the things in it and find meaning if I'm reading it as more than just passing entertainment. I guess I just feel like when everybody says "deeper meaning", they mean "good meaning" or "deeper according to specific set of morals" when there are in reality many different sets of morals all conflicting with each other. And maybe a story could have a "bad message" or something to that effect. As a warning, or as if to say "things don't always go the way the world wants them to", There's meaning in that too, just a different meaning. Shit, looking over my own posts I see I really do sound like a teenager. I wish I didn't because I can usually say things better than that. I make everything so much edgier and childish sounding than I mean to. I guess I need some sleep.

hello again anon

>>158690838
Don't change the subject, women will NEVER have people as great as Leonardo Da Vinci because they're pretty much animals made to breed.

Women don't even understand the concept of "honor", there's a reason the newer generations of men are getting fed up with women, now that they have "equal rights" you can see how scummy they are with all the false rape accusations. In a nutshell, feminism is making men and women enemies of each other, and men have the higher moral ground because they are superior beings.

A male toilet cleaner is superior more than the most famous woman on Earth.

That's good friend but what did you help with? Are you just feeding off what the people before you made? How shameless do you have to be to do that and yet talk about value and greatness?
>>
>>158690975
>they're pretty much animals made to breed
How does it make you feel that there are women more successful than you?
Imagine being lesser than a dumb animal made to breed.

>being this booty ravaged because of a drawn fictional character from a kid's comic. Please read Murcielago, i want to see a waterfall of your butt tears

i'm not saying Natsuo is a perfect character but she is a breath of fresh air in the stagnant mass of generic moeblobs with almost no characterization, serving only as cockbait for the MC.

Also she reminds me of Momoka, which is also a plus

Shut the fuck up, Rapist.

>>158680827
Shitposters aside, Kaneki Ken in Tokyo Ghoul goes through a pretty impressive character arc considering he starts out as a beta male college student.

Most recent chapters he's even fucked and impregnated his main romantic interest. Albeit I'm a little worried this is the setup for some massively awful shit going down for him in the future. Most readers suspect either a miscarriage, that he'll die, or that both he and his waifu will die.

Considering all the shit Kaneki's gone through though, I'm just hoping he gets a happy ghoul family ending.

>Natsuo of Teppu is a great example, shes tall, strong, naturally talented to an absurd degree and shes a bitter spiteful bitch who gets off on demonstrating her superiority to other and whose sole motivation is humiliating her rival

Does she rape anyone?

Then why can't you read books from a different demographic? Anything, even those cliches, would seem refreshing after having been saturated in shonen entertainment.

Ohma is a fucking boring fighter. All the other fighters have gimmicks and shit and Ohma's theme is being a Gary Stu with a berserk mode and direction no jutsu.
>>
>>158698397
Yap, if it wasn't because of Ohma's personality(That is not that great to be honest), he would be the most boring character in the series. That "berserk mode" was a HELL of an asspull. That, and the fact that he hasn't impregnated the girl with black eyes, and the secretary makes me rage at him quite a lot.

Da Vinci was a fag who believed in a flawed theory of gravity that was long thought to be incorrect by most academics including the church. He's not really that great when you realize half his shit doesn't work.

>>158685115

I was going to use a picture of Ippo but didn't have one.

But seriously for fuck's sake. He doesn't have to turn into Takamura but show some goddamn confidence. Being a humble kid who wants to help your mom? Those are good qualities but even Peter Parker eventually grew a pair.

It is literally her driving motivation

It actually doesn't.
The top 20 shounen and seninen don't have those kinds of guys.
Beta male pussy lead is just something that is forced by the powers that be, not an actually likeable and marketable MC.

Not that guy, but can you name a single female philosopher that's not Simone de Beauvoir (who ironically, made her own vagina a subject of study)? The lack of female nonfiction authors that are actually relevant is quite noticeable.

More series need to have characters be established couples early on.

Any news on his followup series which has a guy fall in love with an older girl who used to tease him? First chapter was translated but that's it.
