IT WAS SUPER EFFECTIVE, BITCHES

Okay. I was supposed to be writing a paper tonight, but ended up finishing the GSC arc of Pokemon Special. (Doing the paper over break now, I guess. :/ I knew this would happen.)

Basically, this manga is everything that any manga should ever be in terms of awesomeness and plot twists and cuteness and GENDER DYNAMICS and SHIPPING and HDKJSHDSJKFSHJAKF HOLY GOD WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE--

( Large crappy-quality manga scans and capslocky flailing under cut. )

This manga is intended for consumption by young kids. Probably primarily boys, who were the original demographic.

You can't tell me that you can't put great gender dynamics and plot twists that make sense into manga aimed at young boys. You can't. I can't believe you anymore. Not after this. This is a demographic aimed a few years younger than Shounen Jump, the formative years.

If Pokemon can do it, you can do it.

Your move, Jump artists.
