The night before, a comic lecturer Takanoつよひとasked on Twitter: Why are there many female writers who paint juvenile comics, but not male writers who paint girl comics? Is it a question of painting style? Or is the male’s inner resolution of love too low? He hopes that someone can set off a revolution

Gao Nao’s remarks caused a lot of criticism. Many people cited the example of a well-known male cartoonist who created the girl comics, such as Tezuka Osamu, Bow Moonlight, and Magic Night Peak, to play Takano’s face. Some people even questioned whether Takano had the qualification to guide others to draw cartoons
However, these cartoonists debuted before the 1970s. Except for the night of the night, no one seems to be able to give examples of male teenage cartoonists
With the cartoonist looking around, the male writer in the girl comics industry has been “almost completely destroyed.”
And in the eyes of the ring, the reason why there is no male writer in the current girl comics industry is because the type of girl comics has been highly pre-avant-garde. The real troubles, love feelings, and friendships of the girls that the comics focus on have been developed to the level that men cannot imitate
Ring said “Girls’ Comics” refers to “Ribon”, “Nakayoshi”, “Margaret”, “Flowers and Dreams” and the like “a magazine that is not a girl’s house.” This type of magazine attaches great importance to the “feeling of ordinary girls” and attaches importance to whether readers can feel the same
He believes that there must be men who want to become girl cartoonists and bring manuscripts to the editorial offices of these magazines. But the editorial department would advise him: “Now if you can’t understand the feeling of women, it will be difficult to mix, or go to draw a boy cartoon.” Just ask him to go home
Although the senior cartoonists such as Tezuka Osamu and Chiba Tomo have painted the girl comics, the ring thinks that this may also be because the male writers in that era have fewer women, so the male writers will be active. When the number of famous cartoonists known as the “Flower 24 Years Group” emerged, the number of female writers grew rapidly, and the magazines of the girl comics were also lively. However, this is only a personal impression of the ring, but also hope to be familiar with people in this field
And the reason why the magic night peak still continues to create girl cartoons until now, the ring believes that this is because for the white spring club, the night is the foundation of their comic book, is a legend. Baiquanshe has a similar arrogance, no matter how the times change, it must also make “Bad Leo! “Forever serialized.”

Don’t say that men go to the door of the girl comic magazine to eat closed doors, even if they are female, adult cartoonistたぬあきfriend’s wife (at the age of 20, already a professional cartoonist) A few years ago, I took a manuscript to visit a famous girl comic magazine. The editorial department said, “You are not 14 years old,” and simply ignored it. It can be seen that at that time, the editor has paid attention to the reader’s age and the writer’s emotional age

In the comments, the cartoonist, a Mu Man, added that if you change to a BL comic magazine, there will be a male cartoonist. Even if you ask the editor, the editor will not reveal it. If you can’t see the style, it is a man’s painting. A wood was also taken aback when he learned about it

This may be one of the reasons why I want to emphasize that “not a magazine that a girl in a house can read.”
CartoonistきづきあきらAlso curious why there are no male writers in the current girl comic world. And she concluded that “the elements of teenage, feminine, and neutralization in male comics have increased.” Therefore, it is not necessary for a male writer who draws a girl’s comic style work to paint a girl cartoon
きづきas a woman, I don’t think that men can’t paint the inner spirit of spirit, emotion and girl. And nowadays it is not like the past, when a teenager is fighting, and a girl is a love. Just “If you put it in the past, it will be a girl comic”, it can now be published in the Juvenile Manga magazine and the Young Manga magazine, so female cartoonists can also create in juvenile and youth magazines

And the comic critic Gao Cunwu Yi pointed out the more icy reality: he believes that the girl comic market is already in a “dead situation”, and male writers have no reason to drill into this declining market
The circulation of “Weekly Juvenile JUMP” dropped from 6.53 million in the peak period to 1.71 million in the present, and there is already a mockery of “JUMP is finished” on the Internet. However, looking at the girl comic magazine “Ribon”, the circulation has exceeded 2.55 million, but now it is less than one-tenth of the time

Gao Cun pointed out that since the mid-1990s, the number of young comics with a more neutral style and plot has begun to increase. The tough old-fashioned drama is a decline in comics, and the new style of “Slam Dunk” rises. The work that is not uncommon in the girl magazine is like the GANGAN WING, which is common in the monthly magazine GANGAN WING
And as a comparison, the girl comic magazine has been losing the diversity it had had before the 1980s. After 1995, this trend began to become apparent. Until then, the Girl Comics Magazine will publish the work “It’s not strange to be in the Juvenile Manga Magazine.”
