Every time kaya shows up I can hear this author being like "I guess??? People are into this???? Is this how romance works????"
This man heard about romantic relationships briefly in passing and decided to make his comic hinge around the idea anyway
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA I got to the part where Iwase decides to make manga because she wants Takagi's attention and I want to stab somebody GIRLS DON'T HAVE TO BE MOTIVATED BY MEN THERE COULD BE A WOMAN IN THIS COMIC MAKING SHONEN MANGA BECAUSE SHE LIKES ACTION ACTUALLY
Iwase's whole everything makes me cringe so hard her behavior is entirely irrational and makes no sense and you can TELL it's because the author just doesn't know why women do things and it's so frustrating!!!!! It hurts to read!!! She doesn't have to be obsessed with men!!!
I think what frustrates me so much about the romances in bakuman is that they're not, like, friends (besides hiramaru/aoki)
like kaya and akito never hang out together for fun and idt he ever even says what he likes about her as a person? She barely even exists as a person
