>>7871Fanservice design being hard to overlook is so annoying, especially in shonen. But I get the feeling that these fanservice designs are enforced sometimes - like Bishamon in Noragami is introduced in a bikini outfit and then the authors (who are both women) gradually stop using it and show her more often in a suit. Then they actually 'kill off' the outfit (it makes sense in context, the outfit is a character who turns into clothes) so it can never actually appear again.
The Kimetsu author is also supposedly female and the vibe I got from the extra comic about Mitsuri's outfit was 'I'm writing this to complain about my shitty male editor', but hey, I could be totally wrong.
>If the character design appeals to me, I’ll end up liking the character (male or female) even if they are badly written because I do think they have potential simply because their design is nice.This is how I work too, unless a girl just turns out to be a love interest.
