#girl daughter (kikoru) we know more about but shes got other story problems

[frobby]

boy son and girl daughter are the only characters who matter in kaiju no.8

#yall think im joking but im not #can i complain for a second? #i think kaiju no. 8 is one of the most clear examples of shounen degredation that ive seen in something that hasnt been axed #ok so im caught up but i havent read the spinoff and like #who even are these character? #what do we know about kafka other than his motivations???? #uhh hes middle aged and ummmm hes childhood friends with mina.......... uhhhhh hes nice? #yall its been 100 chapters #that extends to literally every character #boy son( reno) what do we know about him #we know his sad backstory but like we dont even know what he was doing prior to taking the exam #girl daughter (kikoru) we know more about but shes got other story problems #but i still dont think i could list anything other than her involvement with kaijus #it just feels like we've went from big action to big action and it feels hollow cuz i barely know these people #and i get it maybe we learn more about them from the spinoff #but i shouldnt have to read a spinoff.... to know the main character #after 100 chapters #and its really not even the authors fault #the character interactions we get? ARE GOOD #its just so apparent that this is what happens when you have to always be amping up the action to not get cancelled #we're losing so much #if you asked me who my favorite character was and what about them i liked i dont think i would be able to honestly answer #and thats sad #kaiju no. 8 #sorry this is a really complainy post i just i really wanted to like this manga #and its not even bad its just disapointing #on a brighter note after binging the whole thing in like a day i had a dream set in the universe #and it was like kafka and mina's relationship but instead of childhood friends it was 2 guys who were actually married #so it gave me that at least
