And I am sorry, but I didn’t read Beck to the end. Even if I had wanted to, the series was cancelled in Germany when Kodansha chose to end their cooperation with Egmont. And since the series did bore me and I had better manga to read, I didn’t go out of my way to find out what happens at the end of the story. I read like 16 volumes of Beck, so I don’t think I was making a hasty judgment. This is usually enough material to judge a series’ quality, themes or structure.
This doesn’t make me stupid or any of the other insults you used.

Why are Bakuman fans so aggressive? Sorry I don’t like your favourite manga. Does my negative opinion really make you suffer so much? O_o There are plenty of places where you can tell each other how awesome the manga is, why do you come here? By insulting me and failing to check post dates, you’re not really winning me over.

Either you must really hate Bakuman or you have only read the first chapter of it to make that comment because to infer that Eiji in Bakuman is just a one dimensional villain is completely baka/shallow/ignorant/bigot.

As for Beck’s Eiji, if you had bothered to finished the series you would realized how wrong you are. :p

Anecdotal evidence is tricky. For every mom who is just like the mom in Bakuman, there is one who isn’t. If your personal experience count as “facts” to prove that Bakuman got it right (because all moms are like your mom, or what?), do my personal anecdotes count, too?

You know, I am not a poor misunderstood teenage boy like you, I’m a girl who’s had stalkers and weirdos who made my life considerably more uncomfortable than necessary, because they bought into romance fantasies that are encouraged by ridiculous stories like Bakuman. You never talked to her? No problem! She will have harboured a secret crush on you as well, and your love shall be eternal! A girlturns you down? Stalk her apartment until she gives in! If she doesn’t, she’s just a bitch, after all!
There are people who really believe these things, you know. I’ve known people like that, and so have friends of mine. At points it has turned into frustrating or even creepy situations. It is a major problem, and I think a large portion of the blame gets to go towards popular culture, which LOVES telling stories like that, because the stories are probably written by that kind of awkward guy who wants every other awkward guys to know that they can still get the hot girl, NO, they DESERVE to get the hot girl, and should not take no for an answer, but persist until she gives in! Bakuman is part of this culture. You either understand it, or you don’t. You possibly won’t until it has somehow happened to you, but please accept that this is JUST as valid a reason for finding Bakuman sexist as your glorious “my mom doesn’t understand my dreams”.

Protip: Maybe a woman spots sexism more easily than a man. Maybe telling a woman what she should think about sexism IS sexist?

I’m gonna close the comments to this post, I think, because I have had it up to here with all you guys feeling the need to tell me how wrong I am about being uncomfortable with the depiction of my gender, and the next time I read stuff like the comment from Alexandre above yours about how women take sexism too seriously… yeah, uh. No?

Out of everyone I know my mother is the only person that does not believe my dreams are something worth risking my life over.

I have great respect for women as well so calling this manga sexist is just not valid, calling it conservative would be more accurate if anything.

I’ll admit I’m a DeathNote fan but I’m no fanatical fan that talks about how awesome the story is blah blah. I will admit flaws if they are clearly and intelligently pointed out with facts but all I see is opinion here.
