So I live in north Texas and my older brother and his family live in norther Virgina/DC area so I only get to see him and his kids like once every two years. Apparently his two oldest daughters (one is going to be a freshman and the other a sophomore) are really into Anime and want to buy manga. With anything the slightest bit in the "nerd sphere" he always tells them to contact me, and so they texted me and asked me all about different anime and what I would suggest.
So I know what I will be sending them this Christmas. I love how unlike western entertainment Anime/Manga understands who their audience is and caters to it, so what would be ideal for a teen girl? I know the older one enjoys Attack on Titan and said she likes stuff with romance and the other one loves Vinland Saga and I told her about Ah My Goddess, and she seems to like that one so far.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, and thank you in advance.
But at the same time, one of the best names on that list was written by a woman. FMA is the production of a rural girl who was asked to write a popular series and she got it right on her very first arc, just because she totally got it.
I know, a lot of women wrote some of my favorites like Ascendance of a bookworm(which is based on a lightnovel) or Inuyasha/Ranma. There's tons of women making good stories in Japan...and all without needing some quota to fulfill.
