Cutie Honey is undoubtedly one of THE most influential and controversial pieces of work since it's publishing over 50 years ago. While it pushed the Magical Girl Genre and it's themes beyond what was thought Magical Girls were thought to be, especially being a Shonen, it did force people to reckon with the question of where is the line when it comes to entertainment aimed at children when it comes to certain themes. Coming of age stories like Horimiya, heck even Naruto are great and should be celebrated for what they are, but when the but when the content/ "substance" of a show is 99.999999% fan service hmmmmmm questions have to be raised. Nagai is a pioneer in the manga industry and has written and illustrated many works.

While Adults write Young adult novels and manga all of the time, and handle coming of age stories of love, self-discovery, deep feelings, heartbreak and so much more, sometimes we do have to sit back and wonder....who is the actual target audience, where is the inspiration for these works coming from, and where do ethics, morality and art intersect? ✨Follow me on Social Media✨ ✨Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/miladyconfetti/ ✨TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@miladyconfetti ✨Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/miladyconfetti ✨Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/miladyconfetti   ✨Sources of This Episode✨ Provided on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/miladyconfetti ✨Music✨ Cherry Bomb by MiladyConfetti 2024
