Probably an unpopular opinion but I wish this manga had less Murata being horny, preferably by 100%.

Case in point:



I think it'd be nice if it applied to literally anyone besides the new ladies for the arc.

I think there's plenty of humor to be mined from people being intensely turned on by Genos, Metal and Drive Knight's mechanical systems.

That's one thing I always appreciated about Shokugeki no Soma, men and women alike were drawn with a lot of horny energy

I eventually stopped reading it as I lost interest, did that keep going? Gin aside, I assumed that men stopped being judges after a while.

I see the whole "If only artists drew their men as sexy as their women" thing a lot but it feels like such a hollow argument. Because I mean Murata frequently draws the guys to show they're hot or whatever but that doesn't change the fact that some of the fanservice in this comic is bad. Like, let's say Garou also got groped by a weird flesh monster or something, that wouldn't really make the poo poo with Psykos any better.

Kept going, to the point that two prominent male judges enjoyed dishes to the extent that they produced energy fields that not only physically stripped their clothing but everyone within a certain radius.

Murata's consistent love for Fubuki (who he apparently based on his wife) is cool and I'm here for it but Tatsumaki and now everything with Psykos are things that, much like Puri Puri Prisoner I wish he'd dial right down to 0.

Jokes aside, yeah that would be cool. Like, imho there’s a world of difference between drawing attractive women in a comic book since even female manga authors do that, and that up there, or athlete lady crushing a watermelon monster between her thighs.

Itd be easier to stomach if it was equal oppurtunity horny. Like If for every panel with a faceful of Fubuki butt we get licenseless rider in a tom of finland situation.

As it stands yeah the male characters are buff'n'handsome but theyre not drawn like a pinup 99% (outside of covers with garou) of the time like the women, who get perspective angles and poses like a playboy photoshoot.

If an artist doesn't want to draw the dudes in the same way, that's fine, really. It's a silly thought to go "Well, if he does X with women, he must do Y with men too!" for something that matters very little in the end.

The big difference in these cases is usually that the representation of men is respectful whereas for women it's more objectifying or disrespectful. See: Garou/PPP/Darkshine with well-defined abs and a granite body, vs basically just T&A for women. Murata handles it well sometimes but things like the above stuff is just disrespectful.

I cant selectively turn off my eyes when reading the manga, and what I see is the usual supermodel female designs often drawn in ways that emphasize these traits and male characters being drawn in ways that emphasize what theyre doing.

You cant even ignore it since its front and center so much of the time. It doesnt serve the mangas tone nor its characterization. Its completely superfluous for any purpose but titillation and its affecting my enjoyment of the manga.

Hence why I say, Equal oppurtunity horny would make it easier to stomach. Otherwise is just witchblade/red sonja all over again.

You got big (always shirtless or in skintight clothing) muscle men and supertwinks, short women, tall women and one olympic woman who crushes dudes with her thighs. I'm not sure what you're asking for really. I agree that he draws boobs a lot but I'm not sure what the equivalent of cleavage would be for guys

100% less tentacle rape?

Like essentially everything up to Psykos was fine or borderline fine-ish. Not an authority here but as a dude I would have called the women portrayal stuff up until recently needless and pointless and overall a net negative, but not necessarily problematic. Sqashing a watermelon with your thighs is a dumb trope and detracts from the manga but it doesn't make me feel embarrased reading the way tentacle rape, "fighter jet suit with open tit slots" and just repeatedly huge naked knockers, does.

Actually Hajime no Ippo is very good with this topic, in my eyes. Putting aside the fact that all main characters are male because its about male boxing, there are repeated super dumb dick jokes and bro's talking about ho's, but its presented in a harmless teenager locker room talk sort of way. Crucially, the locker room talk stays in the locker room, and the vast majority of female characters are characters and not sex objects. I could be wrong but thats my hot take.

Its not just about the designs.

You can have a large breasted character. That is not an inherently sexual trait. Say you spend an entire chapter with panels that focus on those large breasts in various states of clothedness and being groped. That is sexualization.

Which is why I pointed out how tbe characters are drawn panel-to-panel, rather than their design.

I dont want for there to be objectification, but if yalls horny at least acknowledge lopsided portrayals in stories that arent meant to be erotic, and how they can damage the tone and mood of it.

Oh yeah murata's OPM art is horny as heck for women and he's less interested in that angle with his depictions of men, no doubt about it.

I'm glad you enjoy it but I don't.

But who cares it's not like Murata is reading this and even if he were, he would certainly not say "oh my, someone on the Internet is offended by my drawings, I better stop drawing horny".

I 100% expected the jet mode to be team rocket blasting off again and that to end the fight.

I know the webcomic beats from here, and I'm just curious how Murata is gonna get there now.

I think Murata should draw whatever he feels like drawing and the people who are complaining about pacing should just take a break and come back in a few months.

The series is on its 23rd book right now. To put that into perspective, by this same point HxH was midway through the Chimera Ant arc and Berserk was beginning the Millennium Falcon arc. In any story this long there's inevitably going to be some less interesting or downright boring parts.

Whenever I reread the series, the arcs that are 'lagging, like the tournament or current hero raid, the actual pace is not bad. Irregular schedule and redraws plus the direct comparison to the webcomic gives a much worse impression usually. Like, imagine if 3-4 months were not spent on Phoenixman and adjusting Handsome mask and he just progressed the story.

For the record, Saitama vs Boros was volume 7. More than 2/3rds the series has been after that.
