I do wonder, in the translated notes the author says he originally created Botan tobe the final boss, ATM Ikari looks like the final boss, but I would not be surprised if the author already has another boss after Ikari is defeated.

Does anyone know what Binbougami's popularity is like in Japan?
I thought it would be good, but I noticed lately that there's been (comparatively) little fanart on Pixiv, and almost no doujinshi. Comiket 82 & 83 had pretty much nothing. I found this fairly odd considering it's a fanservicey Jump Square manga with an anime to boot. Did the mangaka piss off touchy otaku somehow? |

Anyone think that Momiji was originally designed to be the main male character of the series? Or at least her default archetypes supposed to be a male character,and was gender bended to produce a more unique dynamic to the story?
If that was the case, that will explain why readers can hardly relate themselves to Keita's character. He is pretty much a Mary Sue of this series, who is a noble bread-winner for his family; has a whole harem following his path without even trying, and always can act cool in front of the girls

Actually it's pretty accurate to describe shounen isn't it,.... bet you can't list more than ten series in the history of manga that does not. Wait, what? So we have a character who is poor, who never actually tried to increase his fighting strength, or mastermind out good ending for others. But somehow still can kick ass by borrowing other artifacts, and becomes the affection target for almost every female character in the story. And he is the one with least Mary Sue traits in your dictionary? The fact that he does not even try to look cool, but still always was portrayed as such by the author, shouldn't that prove my point? And what if i tell you the author of Binbougami ga! also has the poor childhood, has lots of siblings, has to work lots of part time job before getting famous. Will you also said that he is not a Mary Sue character? I lied of course, but the author background should not affect your thought process here, isn't it?

Also, as for the question about Momiji, I don't believe that's true either. Actually, I believe the author had the idea for her character before he even came up with this series. At the end of the first volume, there's an omake chapter which looks like a oneshot for another manga. The main character was some guy and momiji was also present as her usual self. This might make it why you feel Momiji is the main character, she is more active than Ichiko is. Momiji basically keeps the ball rolling most of the time, and seeing as the author had her in mind as a character for some time now, it stands to reason that he want to make her really important. I'd say they're co-main characters, but Ichiko gets the main spotlight because she's the one that the development revolves around. It most likely predates binbougami ga! because the character art seemed much rougher. Weird that we didn't translate it yet... might have to get on that. Last edited by Kurosu; 2013-03-16 at 00:52. |

If you think about it, a gender-bender version of Momiji will only need a few modification, before can be fit right into the story. But for any other characters (Ichiko, Ranmaru, Keita) if their gender was flipped, the whole story dynamic will be changed
