They've gotten better.... more than a few 'shounen' stories are acting much like a 'seinen' targeted story. But many (especially the ones based on harem choice games) still just fail in terms of 'feeling believable' -- they are more fantasy than a story about a wolf demigod and her human companion  |
Yep. Still, many seinen also comes across as unrealistic and forced. Not really a "fantasy" in the same way shonen romances are, but they sometimes come across as... strange.
I hope Yenpress doesn't drop this, though.
