Moto Hagio's "official website"[edit]

Hello~!

I see you are working on Moto Hagio's article in your sandbox; I have a little something to say about her "official website".

https://hagiomoto.net/ is a (very qualitative) fan site, it is hosted by cafe bleu which made other fan sites, as explained in their Twitter account's description.

Sadly, I have never heard of any actual official website for Moto Hagio.

~Take care. --Lady freyja (talk) 15:26, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lady freyja Okay, good to know. Thanks for the heads up. It would have been convenient for citing Hagio's bibliography; are you aware of any other reliable sources that list her full list of works? Morgan695 (talk) 17:24, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. Japanese artbooks usually contain the whole bibliography at their end. The most recent one that I own for Hagio is that one (December, 2019). In it, there is the bibliography pp.184-187, covering everything (manga & illustrations) from Lulu to Mimi in 1969 to Queen Margot and The Poe Clan: Unicorn in 2019. Obviously, everything published after 2019 is missing.
More recent artbooks were published since then, but I can't confirm they feature a bibliography nor its pagination. --Lady freyja (talk) 20:33, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! I'm going to keep working on the sandbox draft in the next few weeks and will implement these changes. Morgan695 (talk) 21:21, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A, A Prime[edit]

Hi, Morgan. I've noticed you've been doing a nice work on Moto Hagio-related works. And back in 2016 I've tried to get A, A Prime to GA-level, but failed because it lacked production information. So, as you are working within this topic and probably reading several sources, I wonder if you had access to any reference about A, A Prime's origins? Gabriel Yuji (talk) 02:24, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Gabriel Yuji: I thought that the article for A, A Prime was looking developed when I went to confirm the original release dates for 4/4' and X/Y; great work. I sadly don't know of any sources on the book's development off the top of my head, but from my estimation the article feels fleshed out enough to merit a GA pass in its current state. Morgan695 (talk) 20:30, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the response and your opinion. Gabriel Yuji (talk) 22:34, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Kishu ryūritan[edit]

Not sure how much you want to work on this article yourself, but I have access to a lot of books/articles/general sources about Japanese literature and folklore and could get it to something like DYK eligible/C-class pretty easily. Just wanted to ask if you plan on expanding it before I copy it to my sandbox. RoseCherry64 (talk) 21:33, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@RoseCherry64: I was planning to bump it up to 1500 characters so I could nominate it at DYK, but I don't really have the insight/interest in the topic to develop it beyond that, so if you wanted to expand the article by all means go for it. Morgan695 (talk) 21:36, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'll try to expand the article a bunch tomorrow, getting it to around 4000-5000 chars shouldn't be a lot of work. Do you have a DYK hook in mind? RoseCherry64 (talk) 21:45, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@RoseCherry64: Nothing specific yet for a hook, so feel free if you come across something that looks interesting during your expansion. Morgan695 (talk) 21:53, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Kashō Takabatake[edit]

Hello!

When I saw that Kaze to ki no uta's article got a GA label on en.wiki, I knew it was from you: congratulation for your work! ❤ (I might adapt it for fr.wiki in a "near" future, as a mirror to The Heart of Thomas へへ)

I also checked your todo-list and saw Kashō Takabatake; maybe you already know it, but all his works first published before 1927 can be uploaded on Commons; all his works are in the PD in Japan since 2017 and the URAA means that every work published in the world before 1927 are in the PD in the US. A Japanese library uploaded the scans of few issues of the Shōjo gahō magazine that are in the PD in Japan, here. Among them 5 issues contains works from Takabatake while being published in 1925/1926. I have already extracted one cover, File:Shojo_gaho_1926_09.jpg, as I needed it for an article I am currently working on.

PS: I added a source on your sandbox about Takabatake, one that I found randomly while searching for other sources.
PPS: when you are working on something related one way or another to shōjo manga, don't hesitate to ask me for help (to find sources/info, for an article review, etc.), I dedicate my contribution time on fr.wiki, but I am more than happy to help in this area! I have a lot of resources on it and thus have a good overview on the topic. —Lady freyja•°どうしたのかしら 09:18, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Lady freyja: Thank you for the kind words! It looks like you're doing some great work on the French equivalent of Shōjo manga that would be great for me to adapt once you've finished. I started Takabatake's article but it fell to the back of my to-do list, but I will definitely check out that source once I come back around to expanding it.

Kaze to Ki no Uta lauds[edit]

Hello again. I just saw your peer review for the Kaze to Ki no Uta article, and I wanted to say congratulations on all of the wonderful work you have done for that article. When I was in graduate school, I research and wrote a M.A. thesis about the rape fantasy in yaoi and Boys' Love, with my focus being Dramatical Murder. I read a lot of analysis about Kaze to Ki no Uta while working on my thesis so it is incredibly bittersweet to see your work on it. I know that probably sounds incredibly lame. It is just weird for me to recognize that part of my life was a number of years ago at this point. I wish I had the time to help with the peer review and future FAC, but unfortunately, I am quite busy with a new part-time job and focusing on other activities (specifically writing and art). I just wanted to wish you best of luck with the article, and I hope you are doing well. Have a great rest of your weekend! Aoba47 (talk) 05:38, 27 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Josei manga[edit]

Absolutely love the work you've done with the josei manga article; and in general, other manga pages. I'm not sure how you'll move forward with it, but I found a source that you might find useful about manga magazine circulation in 2010. While not all that recent, it's at least a bit more recent compared to the current source about 2007. --PanagiotisZois (talk) 19:38, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I'm not sure how much of a high-quality and reliable source Kotaku is (although from what I've seen, Wikipedia editors reached the conclusion that articles published after 2010 were reliable), but I've also found this article (https://kotaku.com/how-to-identify-the-basic-types-of-anime-and-manga-1538285518) that provides some interesting information about the content of josei manga. --PanagiotisZois (talk) 19:54, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Italics[edit]

As usual, thanks for the influx and expansion of articles related to manga history; they've been really interesting to go through and whenever I see a new one, I always have a feeling you were behind it. Just putting it out there, but I think it would be a good time to use Template:trans for italicized foreign words going forward which can be helpful for identifying which words aren't native.

Random Comment[edit]

Hello. I just wanted to tell you that I love the recent work you've done on the josei and shoujo manga (BTW, congratulations on the former becoming a GA). In general, I love the work you've done on Wikipedia and keeping an eye out for what you plan on doing next. Under different circumstances, I'd love to help, such as reviewing the shoujo manga article for GA, but alas, my own workload prevents me from doing that. The only thing I would suggest is expanding the lede somewhat, as I feel like it doesn't cover important details about the history and style of this type of manga. Anyway, stay safe, good luck with the GA, and I hope to see more of your work. :) --PanagiotisZois (talk) 16:21, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yaoi VS Boys' Love[edit]

Hey there, I saw your edit at I Hear the Sunspot, and I feel that if you change the genre from yaoi to boys' love, you could have an argument to do so on all the other boys' love articles that are tagged the same. The only reason why I tagged them as yaoi was due to the fact that there was consensus at Talk:Yaoi that in the English-speaking world, boys' love is commonly known as "yaoi" (however incorrect that may be). You could also consider petition to rename the article again. lullabying (talk) 21:12, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Lullabying: The discussion at Talk:Yaoi is not universal to all instances of the term across the website; a work should be classified based on how it is described in reliable secondary sources, and if a specific work is overwhelmingly described to as "boys' love" and never as "yaoi", that is how it should be listed and described. This is why Given and Ossan's Love are listed as boys' love/BL, why The Heart of Thomas and Kaze to Ki no Uta are listed as shōnen-ai, etc. That doesn't necessarily mean that Yaoi article should be renamed, but it does indicate how language use is trending if that's how new works in the genre are overwhelmingly being described. If you intend to re-open the article name debate, I would devote a lot of time to crafting an airtight case as to why "boys' love" is more appropriate, and perhaps start a general discussion on the article talk page before opening a formal move request.

Shojo and Shonen[edit]

Shonen and Shojo are confirmed to only target early to late teens of both genders. Saying Shonen targets boys and teen males makes no sense. Shonen targets early to late teen boys. And saying Shojo targets adolescent girls means “teen girls” both early and late. 2600:1700:EF71:31F0:5102:807C:3684:8A3D (talk) 16:56, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What did I say before, dude? Shojo only targets early to late teen girls. So young adult women isn’t accurate. That’s for Josei. Also keep the 12 through 18 part. The Shonen page has it and Shojo needs. SG1994! (talk) 21:34, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@SG1994!: Shojo manga is marketed to an audience of young adult women, per Prough and other sources cited in the article. As the article for josei manga itself states, the definitional border between shojo and josei is itself fairly tenuous. I've reverted your edit to shojo manga because the 12-18 age range you've added is not supported by a citation. I have no interest in getting into a semantic argument over what constitutes an adolescent, but per Wikipedia itself, it includes ages 10 to 19, but an expansive definition includes ages 10 to 24 to account for a more comprehensive understanding of this phase of life. Morgan695 (talk) 21:49, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Shojo is the famale equivalent to Shonen. Meaning it’s targeting the same age range but female. Understand the words are used in a narrow sense. Not broader sense when used in context of manga and anime. SG1994! (talk) 22:07, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Also I don’t need a citation. It’s common sense. Shojo is the female equivalent to Shonen. Therefore, it’s age range is 12 through 18. That’s fact SG1994! (talk) 22:13, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia does not state, it explands to 10-19. That’s purely false. The definitive definition of an adolescent is a teen boy or girl. No younger or older. SG1994! (talk) 22:15, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@SG1994!: Wikipedia is based on what is published in reliable sources, not what you personally believe is "common sense". Stop making uncited additions to pages. A quick glance at your talk page shows that you've been warned before about the importance of providing sources and not engaging in edit wars, so you should know better by now. Morgan695 (talk) 22:19, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You’re the one engaging in an edit war. You have no citations for Shojo either. Yet you forget we have a citation on Shonen confirming the demographic being boys 12 through 18. Which Shojo is confirmed to be a female equivalent to. SG1994! (talk) 22:25, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You’re not an admin. So you don’t have such authority SG1994! (talk) 22:30, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not, but I feel very, very confident that an admin would side with me on this one. Maybe I'm wrong! If you revert the page again, we'll get to see. In any case, I'm done talking to you about this. Morgan695 (talk) 22:41, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Also you are wrong about Adolescence. The reference you used “it includes ages 10 to 19, but an expansive definition includes ages 10 to 24 to account for a more comprehensive understanding of this phase of life” was in reference to early to late bloomers. But that’s not what adolescence is generally referred to in context to what Shojo and Shonen targets. If they target adolescent boys and girls, then they are referring specifically to teenage boys and girls. Cuz adolescent as a demographic refers to teenagers as that’s the general definition. So you just admitted Shojo mainly targets teenage girls. So that also backs up my argument. Adolescent isn’t used in the context you quoted. SG1994! (talk) 23:04, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oh you like to feel confident, but I have sources that say otherwise. SG1994! (talk) 23:05, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Unwanted edit on Shonen[edit]

You used false information on Shonen. The Shonen demographic is boys 12 to 18. Not 9 to 18. Adolescent boys are early to late teens. We had a citation confirming the demographic of Shonen manga being mainly for boys 12 to 18. That’s early to late teenage boys. Shonen is used in a narrow sense when used in context of manga and anime since the 20th century began. In the narrow sense, it refers only to boys of the age equivalent to junior high school students to high school students. Junior high school students are 12 to 15 years old. High school students are 15 to 18. I suggest you revert the page back to what it previously was. SG1994! (talk) 02:48, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This was the citation that made it reliable on the age range of Shonen. https://thewordcounter.com/meaning-of-shounen/ SG1994! (talk) 02:51, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There are tons of reliable Japanese sources confirming the age demographic of Shonen being teen boys. And I can post them all for you. SG1994! (talk) 03:00, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

「週刊少年ジャンプ( 以下、ジャンプ)」は、少年誌のみならず、全マンガ誌で最多の売り上げを誇る。一般に「少年誌」というと、10代の少年を主要な読者層としてターゲッティングしているイメージがある。しかし、実は「ジャンプ」読者はほかの雑誌と比べても女性読者が多い異色の存在だ。下に掲載したマンガの単行本売り上げデータを見ても、女性読者比率が高い作品が少なくないことが分かる。

Translation: “Weekly Shonen Jump (hereafter referred to as "Jump") boasts the highest sales among all manga magazines as well as shonen magazines. Shonen magazines are generally associated with the image of targeting teenage boys as the main readership. In fact, however, "Jump" readers are unique in that it has more female readers than other magazines. The manga sales data below shows that not a small number of titles have a high percentage of female readers.”
