Especially Shujin. My god, he NAILED that role. It fits like a glove.

Perhaps y'all reading subtitles are getting bored doing so.




You fell for one of the oldest strawman in existence.
Views of a character (especially not even a protagonist) =/= views of the writer.
Seriously. Just think before you draw that connection.
Don't say it's a strawman unless you happen to know Ohba's views for yourself. Cause otherwise, I'm just going off the little subtleties I've noticed sprinkled in parts of DN and Bakuman, not even just from things characters say, but the roles the female characters have or how they act or are treated, even by the plot itself. But still, I'll be the first to admit it's possible that since this is Ohba, who loves writing mysteries, writing female characters that way is a charade to make us think Ohba's a man, when he's really a woman..
