Highschool setting.
Cute mascot character that makes perverted jokes about the underage characters.
The super intelligent and capable rival character that is Machiavellian and treats the other characters like garbage but is still treated with respect and awe by the other characters because they’re so smart and capable.
The characters are constantly repeating themselves and stating the obvious.
The deaths are so twisted like the Joker.
Transphobia.
“Women just don’t understand male friendship!”
I don’t like the artstyle. There’s something “2010s ahegao hoodie” about it.
Anyway, this rant is 16 years late but I just wanted an excuse to talk about anime tropes that I hate.
JJK maybe? Nobara and any other female characters other than Maki from what I’ve heard got sidelined heavily at the later chapters.
From what I’ve seen at least Maki side plot is all about destroying a patriarchal clan so its prob not WEIRD about women, I only watch/know the hype moments and aura clips so perhaps theres some weird fanservice bullshit going on in the manga.
