New thread, huh? 2020 already, here we go. Zippo's art and protagonist were more appealing for me than Zipman!!'s. But the "relationship" with the robot suit can be interesting. Did the japanese readers like it?

I had left Kimetsu on hold because the writing was repeating itself too much. With the current hype, I reached the current chapters and, well, nothing has changed. I wish the story was more character-driven to explore more themes, personalities and of course Nezuko, but instead every arc continues to focus on only 2 points "here's my special power" & "here's my flashback explaining how my family was brutally murdered". It's not BAD, but let's just say Gotouge must thank heaven for Ufotable. I had left Jujutsu on hold too. Has the studio name been revealed yet? If it's good I think I'll go straight for the adaptation.

The studio adapting JJK will be announced on Jump Festa (though the name might leak before). Also, you really should catch up with JJK manga, it's been amazing for a while now.

I'm going to spoil the serialization plot of Agravity for you.
Now that we have expectations from the oneshot, what's really going to happen is, they all swap genders but the MC was a girl in the beginning so it just becomes a 3 girl 1 guy space rom com harem.

Now, having read the synopsis of Agravity Boys, can I ask you all exactly how it's homophobic/transphobic? It just seems like a standard gender-bender series. In an attempt for complete thoroughness, can someone explain to me why this series is homophobic/transphobic?
I don't think it's homophobic/transphobic, necessarily. Just really uncomfortable.

And stereotyping, because they immediately go for the cute boy as their girl candidate.


I have very low expectations regarding AGravity Boys because I really don't get yet what kind of public it targets.

Some of you guys seems to be missing the controversial point. It's not only a gender bender thing. It's a gender bender where is implied the transitioned man have to lie with at least one of the other ones to reproduce and save earth... In conservative Japan, I think this would be controversial enough without the gender bender thing.
That's the part you have a problem with?

I mean, sure, the 'expected to breed' thing is kind of iffy, but I think the fact that the guy is basically being coerced into transitioning against his will is a far bigger issue. Especially since the others are apparently ganging up on him because of his looks.

That, and the fact that the guy is probably gonna DIE, because tiny woman + large male + no medical assistance = congratulations, you just maximised the risk of death in childbirth. I can tell humanity is in good hands with you guys. :wall

Yeah, that’s probably the most likely scenario. Hope the sci-fi stuff is interesting.

That sounds like the premise of a bad ******.

So you expect them to go for the big muscular guy? that wouldn't make any sense if you use basic human logic, despite the ridiculous premise you have to put yourself in that situation, 4 guys are trapped in a planet and they have to decide something like this, of course they will automatically go for the least "masculine" one in the group, if anything the author could have just drawn 4 typical guys and make the suspense bigger about who would become the girl (maybe we have a twist and isn't even the cute boy who turns into a girl kkkk)

In fact, assuming the "cute boy" is a girl and they have "gender bender" potion for one person, I could see one of the guys swap genders.

So, you have two couples at the end.

Only if "basic human logic" = "let's be completely selfish and force our own tastes on the smallest member even if it kills him and humanity."

If they actually cared about the future of mankind, then yes, they would make the biggest guy the mommy and the smallest guy the daddy. Big woman + small baby means the risk of complications at birth is minimal, so the woman will be able to have more children without dying. Anything else means you don't really care about the goal and you're just using the fate of humanity as an excuse to coerce someone into having sex with you.

Interesting how the three ended with exactly 27 chapters, that was a long batch...

Yeah is pretty much this my friend, we're talking about 4 guys being trapped in a planet alone and give the choice by some "fantastic being" to turn one of them into a girl, no one of the 3 (masculine) will think about all of this you said in a crazy situation like that because it will be just their natural instinct to go for the "feminine and cute" boy, simple, you're really not thinking about what would be for humans to be in a situation like this, and to be honest both of us are thinking way too detailed about this things in a manga labeled as comedy.

The premise of Agravity Boys sounds like a trainwreck from the start. You can't rebuilt humanity with 3 men and 1 woman, except if you want some kind of incest mutant "The Hills Have Eyes" type of freaks.

Whoa, TPN, what happened? I know that Jump has no reason to really promote it now since it's ending soon, but that's still, that quite the drop down the ladder.

Yozakura and Mitama have dropped to the bottom dwellings. Time will tell if they rise up.
