From a male perspective, works aimed at girls tend to seem like a world that is somewhat unrelated to them, but have you ever watched any works aimed at girls? Perhaps because many romantic comedy works aimed at men, such as "The Quintessential Quintuplets," "My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU," and "Rent-a-Girlfriend," have been well-received, there have been very few commercially successful romantic comedy works aimed at girls in recent years. It's not that the number of female anime fans has decreased, but rather that women have begun to enjoy works that men enjoy, which has led to a decline in works that can only be enjoyed by women. In this article, I would like to introduce "Mushikaburi Hime," a pure romantic fantasy work that targets women in the current anime industry, where the number of anime and manga works that are unique to women is steadily decreasing! This is a work that can be enjoyed even by male fans who usually only watch works aimed at men, so please check it out!
Characteristics of works for girls
First, before introducing this work to male fans, I would like to introduce the characteristics and appeal of many works for girls, including this one. Even though they are generally called works for girls, there are various features and ingenuity, so please check them out.
It's full of "This is what women want!"
One of the characteristics of works for girls is that they are filled with various desires that women want. While men seek "friendship, effort, and victory," women tend to prefer romantic developments. There are many works with developments that make men's hearts flutter when they watch them.
Detailed character depictions
For this reason, works for women place emphasis on romantic development, so the characters that appear are drawn in a little more detail than works for young men. The characters that appear in works for young men are also quite attractive, but another characteristic of works for women is that there are many characters with more depth that do not appear in works for young men.
Complex character relationships
Also, in works for women, the characters that appear are depicted in more complex settings, so the relationships between those characters are also depicted in a fairly complex way. Therefore, you can enjoy more advanced interactions between characters that you can't experience in works for men.
The charms packed into this work
As you can see, works aimed at women have many charms that works aimed at men do not. This work is packed with the unique fun of works aimed at women, so it is a work that anime fans who usually only watch works aimed at men will definitely enjoy!
The appeal of works for girls that can only be enjoyed by men
From here, I would like to introduce how works for women can be enjoyed from a male perspective. In fact, works for women have appeal that can only be enjoyed by men, so if you are a male anime fan, please check them out.
There are many charms that works for men do not have!
One reason is that works aimed at women have many ingenious features that are not found in works aimed at men. For male anime fans who have enjoyed many works aimed at men and have become bored with them, I think that works aimed at women are very stimulating, so I highly recommend works aimed at women!
Experience a woman's perspective
Also, as mentioned at the beginning, works aimed at women are full of elements that make you think, "If I were a woman, I would want it to be like this!" This allows you to learn more subjectively about the unique female perspective that you normally can't experience, and what women find interesting.
Enjoy it with a fresh feeling
Works for women are a genre of work that is somewhat different in style from the works we are usually familiar with. Therefore, many characters with developments and settings that we have never read before appear. In that sense, it can be said that it is a genre that can be enjoyed with a very fresh feeling.
There are also exciting developments for men! ?
And just because the perspective is different from men's doesn't mean that men can't enjoy it. This and other works for girls contain many exciting developments and settings for men that women don't notice, so don't be shy just because it's a work for girls, but try it out.
Works for girls and male readers go well together!
Just because you're a man doesn't mean you can't enjoy works aimed at girls. In fact, there was a time in the past when many men were into works aimed at girls, so I think it's okay to basically recognize that works aimed at girls are enjoyable for men as well.
The golden age of girls' manga had many male readers
This is because many popular masterpieces were created in the 1970s for women, and girls' manga in particular swept away many male fans. Even today, many male anime and manga fans who are familiar with that time feel an affinity for girls' manga.
Both male and female supporters support the work
In this way, works for women are not just for women, but can be enjoyed by men as well. "Women and men can enjoy it from their own perspectives" - isn't this the greatest appeal of many works for women, including this one?
Will works for girls be able to make a comeback!?
In the 1970s, works for women swept the hearts of both women and men, but in recent years, it seems that they have not had as much momentum. As the number of female fans who watch works for men rather than works for women has increased, works purely for women have been steadily declining. In this environment, will this work, which is one of the pure works for girls, be able to regain its former popularity as a work for girls?
The key is male readers! ?
The key here is undoubtedly the presence of male readers. In order for works aimed at girls to regain their former momentum, it is essential to expand the male support base, just as was the case with girls' manga fans in the 1970s.
Aim for the golden age of girls' manga!
Will this work be able to gain a position like the golden age of girls' manga, where not only pure female fans can enjoy girls' works?! Please be sure to pay attention to this work and enjoy it.
Will this work attract male fans?
Now, from here, I would like to think specifically about whether this work can attract male fans. Is this a work that men can enjoy as well?
Is there a wall between men and the novel version?
The original work of this work is a novel posted on the novel posting site "Let's Become a Novelist". It is written in a bright style unique to women, and vividly depicts the lives of medieval royal aristocrats. On the other hand, the detailed descriptions and character movements unique to women may be a little difficult for men to read.
Maybe the anime adaptation will attract more male fans! ?
The novel version may be a bit of a challenge, but by making it into an anime, I think it will be a work that will not feel strange to men, while still expressing the detailed descriptions and character movements that are unique to works aimed at women. If you read the novel version and find it a bit difficult to read, try watching the anime version.
There are plenty of interesting developments even from a man's perspective!
The novel is written for women, so it may be difficult for men to read, but you'll get used to it as you read on, and it's full of interesting developments even for men. If you're a fan who doesn't find it strange after reading the novel, please keep reading.
Get in touch with works for women!
There are many hidden charms in works for women, including this one. Before you think that it is a work for you, try picking it up and reading it first. Perhaps there is a new fun that you have never felt before hidden in the work.
Summary
What did you think? This time, I recommended this work, "Mushikaburi Hime," to men. There are many interesting points that can only be felt by men in works for women, including this one, so please give it a try.
