It's popular so hating it allows one to present a picture of sophistication.

Haikyuu is not shounen, there are no power level battles.

Yeah /a/ hates 'Shounen' so much that you'll constantly be finding thread decicated to 'shounen' shows.
Also Shounen isn't a genre it's a demographic.
Would you say on /v/ why does /v/ hate 18+ games?

I wouldn't say /a/ hates shounen. As a genre it doesn't relate very well to the majority of friendless and emotionless users. Also, as a whole the genre tends to ruin itself through bad writing/plot mechanics that turn out terribly for what the series built on.

Are you fucking joking? That's about 800k per volume, which is the sales of a massive hit. Being able to sell that much for nearly 200 volumes is objectively a huge success, and it wouldn't run that long if it wasn't. Tezuka isn't the measuring stick for success.

I've never even read it but this is honestly one of the dumbest things I've read in a while.

/a/ hates modern WSJ because it's terrible. There are plenty of well-liked shounen

Heroine.

Because /a/ has shit taste. There's a reason Shounen is the most popular demographic. It's simply the best one.

Seinen is for edgy kids who think they're big boys for reading "matuuhre" manga.

Haikyuu, Hunter x Hunter, Yu Yu Hakusho, Rurouni Kenshin, FullMetal Alchemist, Noragami, Gintama, Zatch Bell, Diamond no Ace, Eyeshield 21, Arslan Senki, Shaman King, Slam Dunk......

I can literally keep going on and on about how shounen absolutely rapes every other demographic, but I think I proved my point.

Keep crying Seinen babies. Your mature manga aren't so mature. The majority are gore, nudity and edginess.
>>
>>141328934
I'm one of those people who thinks there's a lot more variety in boy's manga than most folks on /a/ realize, but you aren't proving anything by just namedropping series.
>>
>>141315500
All the good or interesting stuff gets canned, if it doesn't it degrades as it goes on or gets and ending out of nowhere.
>>
/a/ is full of tryhards who dont want to be normies.
>>
>>141329973
Okay. Then you list some namedropping series.

>>141330274
Yeah, like Seinenfags

I think you missed what I was trying to say.

>>141317293
Ironic shitposting is just shitposting.

Lurk for 2 years before posting.
>>
>>141315500
It's not that /a/ hates shonen it's that 90% of all shonen way overstay their welcome with the acceptions of ones that actually ended or kept it interesting in some right. (Eg. YuYu Hakusho wrapped up in a timely manner, and HxH is still decent)

Thats part of the reason Im still reading BnHA
>>
>>141330916
I namedropped the series to showcase why Shounen is better. Is there a problem with that?
