Manga Categories In Japan
Industry manga and also anime is indeed one of the 'backbones' of the cultural propaganda of the land of the rising sun. This industry has greatly fostered the spread of Japanese ideology throughout the world.
It is no wonder that in its own country, this industry has become very large, prestigious, and also complex. There are several categorizations manga adapt to general consumer demographics.
From the most popular and widespread to the global realm, namely Shōnen, the characteristics of this category are generally full of action, character development, values of solidarity and friendship, and levels of strength.
Hey, there are also manga that are intended for girls. Even the categorization is much more complicated and detailed, such as Shōjo (girls), Yangurediisu (teenage girls), and Josei (adult women).
Meanwhile, this discussion will focus more on one of the manga titles that falls into the Seinen category or which is exclusively for consumption by men who are considered old enough.
Seinen Vs Shōnen Category
Before going into the main discussion regarding the review of the manga, perhaps the biggest question on your mind is... Vicigers is “What makes Inuyashiki fall into the adult category?”
Generally, censorship on age adequacy itself covers two things, first the number of violent scenes that appear and second there is a pornographic aspect. However, this does not apply to the manga industry in determining reader suitability.
In fact, violent scenes themselves still often appear in various comics that fall into the Shōnen category. In fact, it is legitimate if some say that the brawl scenes are the main selling point.
Therefore, the only difference between Seinen and Shōnen is only the nudity element. Generally, sexual scenes in Seinen comics are much more frontal: not suitable for those under age.
Synopsis and Review
Synopsis
This manga written by Hiroyaka Oku tells the story of the main character named Inuyashiki, a father from a simple family living in Japan. It is said that he lives with his wife and two children.
As the breadwinner of the family, he feels the burden of carrying out daily activities. In the eyes of his family, he is not respected as a father/husband or leader in household life.
Not to mention his body was starting to weaken and become sickly. Although he was 58 years old, he had an appearance that was much older than the appearance of a man his age. He could no longer move freely.
After further investigation, he was diagnosed with malignant cancer. The doctor also sentenced that he only had a few months to live. When he was feeling desperate, suddenly a strange incident happened to him.
This incident gave him superpowers turning him into a cyborg with various advanced technologies and extreme weapons. Suddenly this incident really changed his life!
From there he wanted to use his powers to help people in need. So Inuyashiki's adventure in eradicating various crimes has finally officially begun!
Reviews
If you try to compare the storyline and depiction of this manga itself, there are many more Shōnen manga out there that are much more interesting for readers to read and follow.
The manga's fight scenes are fairly monotonous and do not provide any lasting excitement. The absence of moves or power-ups makes readers reluctant to read further.
The character development is also less related to the reader's life, seeing as Inuyashiki is a middle-aged man who is approaching his sixties! Of course, there are very few readers from that circle.
So it is not surprising that Inuyashiki only has 85 chapters. And despite the various contents that make it fall into the adult comic category, we do not recommend this title for you to read.
