It feels like there's been a shonen for everything
>One Piece - pirates
>BnHA - superheroes
>Fire Force - firefighters
>Toriko - food
What isn't there a shonen about?
What HASN'T there been a shonen series about?
Sexual intercourse? Porn?
I want to say prostitution but rent a girlfriend exists.
Garbage collector.
>I will become the Garbage King!
Great, now you've turned it into Naruto.
Something based on ancient Greece.
>a very large amount of existing material to use as inspiration, with some of the old stories being interesting enough to receive film adaptations to this day
>an entire pantheon of gods including some well known ones like Zeus and Hades
>a bunch of famous heroes like Herakles, Achilles, Perseus, Odysseus, etc.
>some of the most iconic monsters in world history like Medusa, harpies, centaurs, cyclops, etc., some of them monster girls which is right up Japan's alley
>locations ranging from historical cities to fantasy realms like Mt. Olympus, Atlantis, Elysium, Tartarus and the underworld
There is such a massive amount of stuff there that it should be easy to write a series inspired by it. Ideally it would be something that combines multiple different elements together. Maybe something like various famous heroes existing in the same world and interacting. Odysseus exploring, Perseus hunting monsters, Achilles fighting wars, Herakles doing his labors and/or killing children. Maybe some monsters cause problems, perhaps a war breaks out or it could even be that the gods throw a massive tantrum and start shitting on the mortals. A 500 chapter battle shounen basically writes itself.
Or Norse mythology
Holy zoomer. This already exists since before you were born.
It's called "saint seiya"
v-tubers
Saint Seiya is shit anyway so it doesnt count
Like this nigga ?
Garbage copout zoomer, don't embarass yourself any further.
kek
I can think of a few
fencing (with swords), fencing (the fences), jet ski, curling, programming, it support, scambaiting, being a manga editor, being a dictator, mail delivery, step dancing, pogo dancing, punks, nazis, stand up comedy, manzai comedy
>nomad warriors shonen
- too hard to draw for most mangaka, doesn't play in Nipponland
>hackers shonen
-total fringe
>zombie/skyking survival shonen with horror
-could maybe work
Saint Seiya isn’t exactly what I want, I want it to actually be set in Ancient Greece with takes on the different Gods and Heroes, so something more like God of War basically. None of this modern day boy inherits the powers of old Gods or reincarnation shit. Also this
There was a hackerman shonen in WSJ last year, it got axed on like chapter 20.
forgot pic
is this bait?
Dishwashing
Imagine all the shounen tropes applied to it.
Tournaments, powerlevels, Villain Group, demon king etc
I'm thinking they should make a futuristic sci fi shonen, something similar to one piece island jumping style, but instead of islands they're jumping around different planets.
>takes place in a heavily polluted post-apocalyptic world
>MC goal is to clean up the world
>rival is obsessed with recycling
>mascot is Oscar the Grouch
>at the end of the series, MC marries a trash waifu
Edens Zero and Samurai 8 both are shit though.
Filtered
>trash waifu
So the worst one? Like Sakura from Naruto?
You mean like Space Adventure Cobra, Space Battleship Yamato and Galaxy Express 999?
The art of shitposting on a chan.
World Trigger will get to the planet-jumping arc soon, after the Rescue Selection arc. Believe in Ashihara's health.
Cowboys, Gun Blaze West got axed early on. Atleast there’s that Back Arrow anime.
No I mean more like ad astra but longer more focused on planet exploration. But with some politics from legends of galactic space heros.
Sorry I meant to write Astra lost in space
heist
