So, like... Is there a reason a middle schooler just couldn't be a mob boss? Somehow that seems the less strange route.

Or just write a comic not about school kids for once, Japan. Like, about consenting adults capable of doing things on their own.

I'm not going to bring down the wrath of Birbmod with unfounded accusations, but Japan's interest in schoolchildren is a bit much.

From what I understand a lot of adult people in Japan basically have no life aside from their job so high school was really the last time they had any freedom.

That half of it is like a Japanese version of Alexander Dumas and a clear inspiration for the Souls video games, then the protagonist gets saddled with a bunch of annoying kid sidekicks and farts around for thousands of pages with no signs of resolving the plot?

It's not a ghost, but probably a 'living corpse'. The 'living dead' with a hell of a lot of bloodlust...

Pretty much this, yes. Their birthrate is in the toilet because their jobs don't give them time to have relationships.

What actually tends to happen is that everyone stays late doing gently caress all because they don't want to be seen to be going home before everyone else.

nothing gets done, it makes everyone miserable and nobody has time to get their bone on what the gently caress is wrong with you japan

There are plenty of manga about, for and written by adults but they hardly ever get translated. The vast majority of stories starring teenagers are aimed at teenagers, that's like asking why western YA fiction doesn't have many adult main characters.

Extreme conservatism related to extreme deference to elders. If xenophobia wasn't also baked into their culture as I might feel worse.

Oh honey. Honey no. The implication is that their most obvious solution to a low birthrate and stolid hierarchy is to be open to an influx of foreign entities, which they are not because of well-documented haughtiness to anyone who is not Japanese on a macro level. Thus I would feel worse for the country if they weren't standing in their own way.

Yes I'm sure 'they' literally every Japanese person agrees with that and it's not just a dumb conservative government being dumb and conservative.

Gonna get my rear end to Japan and start busting some haughty skulls. Just throwing hikimoris through storefronts and kicking yakuzas in the nards. That'll teach em to drop the whole xenophobic act. Buncha panty-sniffing salaryman buttheads, the lot of em!
