Here are 4 SEINEN series that are all getting anime adaptations. What do they have in common? Being “shoujo-esque”. So why are all these getting adaptations over the shoujosei ones? Even the series who sell as much, the seinen ones always get preference… gee I wonder why.

1. The mangaka was not held at gunpoint and forced to make this series they were catering to a market that wants to see Highschool girls sexualized but not feel bad about it. 2. Marin is not a real person. She did not choose to do anything. So stop acting like she has agency.
