I get that anxiety of being in the manga section at my local Barnes and Noble. You can run into some "interesting" folks too. I once had a kid almost spoil AOT for me because he thought it was necessary to explain the ENTIRE plot to his mom. Or you get the occasional weeb with the dog ears and furry tail.

Chainsaw man funnily enough was specifically released in Jump not only cus Fujimoto wanted it there but cus ppl at the publication company itself thought it would be a nice change of pace & would appeal to the young boys who want a diff experience cus stories like chainsaw man understandably don't get told much in that demographic. I think there was more to it than that but in short they wanted boundaries to be pushed in weekly shonen jump

Find that shit kinda wild since they literally showed a lesbian orgy in a chapter's first 2 pages. Not complaining, since many of us would like to be identified as woman in front of Quanxi, but still wild for a shonen lol

Yea they’re definitely doing that, like I think Chainsaw Man shouldn’t be classed as a Shonen, it’s a Seinen, and this is even a reason why people like Chainsaw Man. I’ve asked many people why they like it so much and an answer I get a lot is “it’s so different to every other Shonen”, yea, because it’s not Shonen.

It feels like a shonen in the motivations and how Denji is as a character appeals more to teenagers than young men. As a dude in his early 20s, I would relate more to Denji as a teen than I do now.

Honestly I find this way of marketing genius from an artistic perspective. I’m most familiar with Shonen Jump manga, so I’ll start there. Shonen Jump had a very specific style of stories that anime fans call “the shonen formula” which is because Jump has a specific brand and if you pick up a Shonen Jump magazine, you know what type of story you’re getting into. If you are looking for a different type of shonen which is less focused on action and more focused on slice of life and romance towards a male audience. Honestly it’s similar to cable channels in the west. Like comparing Cartoon Network to Nickelodeon where CN is more edgy but still for kids and Nick is more goofy. Just like the Shonen Magazines, there’s overlap, but that’s just to ad some variety but each network has its own storytelling brand. Not to mention how these magazines can be considered samplers to find what volumes you want to buy. It’s a pretty interesting thing that is lost in the modern streaming landscape in the west.

It's interesting because there's an italian publishing house (formerly "eura editoriale", now called "editoriale aurea") that for the last 50 years has been publishing south american comics and has had the opposite transformation: in the beginning they always had sexy real life models on the cover (which, i imagine, made it a bit awkward for my italian grandma when she bought them back in the seventies. By the way she was the one who read them, she didn't buy them for anyone else) and they later switched to only having covers with comic book characters on them (oftentimes they were still sexy comic book female characters, but I think those have been decreasing in time).

Shonen mags have long had things that pushed the envelope of the demographic. I think the original Shonen Jump lineup had Go Nagai’s Shameless School (Harenchi Gakuen) which caused a lot of controversy.

Feels like their model is more European in the sense that they also do comic magazines, thinking Heavy Metal and AD2000 where Judge Dredd is published. They often also feature illustrations of bikini babes with big futuristic swords or guns, etc.
