In the last 18 months or so I've gone through 100 volumes of Detective Conan, and it's uniformly wonderful with nothing woke. It's unabashedly Japanese, with wonderful forays into the country's culture and history. There are female characters, but they're all largely normal. A few 'strong ones' appear, but only via a sort of mythical organization, so it doesn't really hurt the story.
Most people my age entered Japanime via 'Akira'... and then nothing else appeared until the internet, so then I went through Parasyte, HunterX, FMA etc and loved a lot of it. But Conan is really something special.
It's a bit hokey. It's not going to change your life.
But for our resident reader -- Smith1980 -- it's just a wonderful way to relax and forget the world.
Anyway, for anybody 25+ that just wants to forget the world for a bit; to recapture that sense of what it meant for boys to love girls; to reimagine spy games with weird gadgets; and to completely forget faggotry...
Conan's the thing.
(it's all available... nyaa....)
Do you mean Reiwa no Dara-san?
I just now read the first 2 chapters, seems less trans promoting, more that even the literal curse gore snake lady is going 'you two aren't right in the head, that's why I can't do the usual scare shit!'
This is the hard part in Manga especially, they can use gender bender as comedy or psychological aspect similar to that Horror film set in a camp, but no promotion of it as a good thing/the ideal like in the west. They have such a history of trap culture in Asia especially Japan that we risk unintentionally giving the left credit for work they don't have the skills to produce.
