i disagree with this take considering there's quite a number of very great female Japanese mangakas out there that write great stuff, even some very based stuff. Which begs the question. Why is there a lack of good female comic writers in the West? (media.kotakuinaction2.win)

Also Frieren is written by a woman, and Magi and Mushishi and Kimetsu no yaiba. And everything Clamp.

Its suspected that the author of Rising of the shield hero is a woman but not confirmed.

Edit: Sorry i made a mistake. Frieren's illustrator is a women but the writer's gender is unconfirmed but suspected to be male

Unfamiliar with "Rising of the shield hero".

One odd characteristic of female illustrators I've noticed is that they draw ethnic characteristics in a less relative manner.

If the Japanese characters look Japanese to an American, probably a female illustrator.

Not exactly sure why this. It might just be experience from putting on makeup(which requires attention to minute facial details) and paying more attention to hair, it might be something more intrinsic to how women view the world.

Rising of The Shield Hero is "What if a guy got isekai'd, but the princess Me Too'd him because she's a bitch and now everyone hates his guts even though he's innocent so he has to pull himself up by the bootstraps."

There's more to it than that, but that's the hook that got everyone's attention.
