The so-called target group is not just boys, which obviously means that "My Hero Academia" also takes the female market into consideration.
But how is this possible
Let’s not talk about the fact that few female viewers have been interested in boys’ comics over the years. Let’s just talk about the “hardware problems” of My Hero Academia. Generally speaking, if you want to attract female fans, the character design must be good-looking. You can take a look at this animation—
The style of painting is weird, but in this animation with a weird style, there is also a character like All Might whose style is so strange that it seems like he walked into the wrong set. For boys, the style of painting and appearance may not be so important, but for girls...
Xiao Zhengwen recalled the character designs in "My Hero Academia" and shook his head silently.
In terms of appearance, no one in this anime can fight. Among the characters that have appeared so far, the only one who is relatively good-looking and may attract the attention of female fans with his face is Bakugo Katsuki. As long as he opens his mouth, his violent temper can easily scare away countless female fans.
Of course, he just thought about this in his mind and didn't say it out loud to Mu Suxing. For Xiao Zhengwen, 300,000 online subscriptions were already enough to surprise him. There was no need to argue with Mu Suxing over such small details. Since the other party felt that his work had a female market, then so be it.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhengwen did not refute, but just smiled and said: "Then I will accept Director Mu's good words."
The two of them continued to brag about business to each other. Xiao Zhengwen wanted to talk about the advance booking of Huaying's next animation several times, but Mu Suxing always glossed over the topic.
Come to think of it, now that Huaying's two consecutive animations have become a big hit, there are many websites that want to obtain their animation broadcasting licenses. It is now the time to wait for a price, so it is understandable that they are unwilling to negotiate these things in advance.
The conversation ended here and Xiao Zhengwen put down his phone.
Somehow, the phone call was disconnected at this moment, but Mu Suxing's words lingered in his mind for a long time, lingering. Xiao Zhengwen can be said to be very satisfied with the current performance of "My Hero Academia", but if it can further attract the female market...
With a sudden impulse, he opened the comment section of the animation "My Hero Academia" again.
The ones with the most likes at the top were undoubtedly the audience's praise for the animation. Xiao Zhengwen dragged the mouse and looked down. He originally just wanted to casually browse the comment area, but now his attention was attracted by a comment with a lot of likes:
"At first, I didn't say anything when I saw Bakugo bullying the protagonist. After all, there are always a few villains in boys' comics. Until I found out, emmmmm, is it really okay to let this bastard be the second male lead? I like Midoriya and Uncle Ou, but this Bakugo is really annoying..."
“Hate +1, can I say that I almost gave up watching the show because of that at the beginning... Luckily I persevered and almost missed out on such a great anime. By the way, I want to give a big thumbs up to my Uncle Ou!”
really.
Xiao Zhengwen shook his head.
In other animations, any second male lead who has some appeal to female fans is always a talented and handsome guy, unlike this grumpy durian-headed guy. Female fans are lucky if they don’t get scared by his fierce attitude when listening to him.
With this kind of personality, you still want female fans
It seems that even Director Mu can make mistakes sometimes.
With this in mind, Xiao Zhengwen no longer worried about the female market. After all, the momentum of "My Hero Academia" is already good enough, and even if there is no female market, it is not a big deal. Thinking of this, Xiao Zhengwen quickly put the matter behind him.

There is certainly a reason why Makusuki dares to say that the target market of "My Hero Academia" is not just male audiences.
Firstly, the characters in this animation are extremely outstanding. To put it simply, they are "different from the common slutty girls in other boys' comics." Secondly, there are problems with the plot.
If he follows the original 13-episode season, it would still be difficult to attract a large number of female audiences based on the plot of the first season alone. However, it would be different if he combined two seasons into one with 26 episodes.
Apart from anything else, as the role of Todoroki Shoto, the most handsome character in the animation, becomes more prominent, his character becomes clearer and more complete as the plot progresses - these alone are enough to attract a large number of female fans who only care about looks.
What's more, the character's personality itself is very charming, which can be said to completely meet the wishes of female audiences.
Just as Xiao Zhengwen was browsing the comment section of "My Hero Academia", Makusukoshi also noticed the fans' debate about Bakugo Katsuki.
This is actually expected.
Mu Suxing did not make too many changes to this character. The only modifications were made for the sake of plot rationality.
For example, in the original plot, the protagonist Izuku Midoriya was bullied unilaterally by Bakugo Katsuki, but Izuku Midoriya after the change by Makusukusei has been training in physical skills since he was a child because of his own dream, and with his high IQ, it is obviously illogical if he is still bullied unilaterally by Bakugo Katsuki in this case.
In other words, the conflicts between their ideas and daily lives still exist, but because Midoriya has also trained in physical skills, even if they fight, both sides will win and lose, and it has not reached the level of one-sided school bullying in the original work.
Of course, Makusuki did this not to reduce the audience's dislike for Bakugo Katsuki. It is what it is, even if some people hate it, which is part of the character.
There is no denying that, speaking purely from a personality perspective, Bakugo Katsuki is obviously not likable, but the highlight of this character lies in his three-dimensionality and fun.
He has an excellent brain and a strong momentum. His battles are bold and fierce, but also delicate. Interestingly, the author has added some contrasting settings for this character: for example, when a group of people stay up all night, Bakugo, on the contrary, follows the routine of an old man and goes to bed early. He seems to be a careless person, but he unexpectedly has a good cooking skill.
The reason why the audiences are reacting so strongly now is that the show aroused too much hatred in the early stages. As the plot gradually unfolds, the popularity will naturally increase.
As for now...
Mu Suxing glanced at the comments section where there were many complaints about Bakugo Katsuki, and calmly closed the animation comment section.
Curse as much as you want, in the end most of you will like him ╮(╯▽╰)╭

Another weekend with nothing to do.
Qi Ling finished her holiday homework in advance. Because the weather was too hot, she had no interest in going out shopping. She sighed and played games on her mobile phone out of boredom.
When she lost everything again because of her mentally retarded teammate, she suddenly lost all interest in playing games. She angrily opened Yueqi Video and planned to watch some casual videos to entertain herself.
It was at this time that the youth manga, "My Hero Academia", which had once left a deep impression on her mind, once again came into her sight.
Her eyes passed over several characters with strange styles and appearances, and finally stopped on a young man with half white hair and half red hair.
"Although the hair color looks a bit strange, if you compare it with other characters..." Qi Ling stared at the strange boy in the promotional picture: "He's still quite handsome?"
With this in mind, Qi Ling had no interest in clicking on this animation. It was just a character with a decent appearance, but that was not enough to arouse her interest in following the series. After all, as a girl, she had no interest in this kind of boy's comic that was full of fighting and killing and had a strong middle school atmosphere.
However, maybe it would be a good idea to watch some new anime on the weekend
She did it as soon as she thought of it. She directly opened an anime group she was in and typed a sentence: "I'm so bored. Are there any good new anime recommendations recently?"
"Have you read any harem anime? I think the second season of "IS" is pretty good, although it's not as good as the first season. I'm a little tired of watching too many harem anime, but overall it's still pretty good. It's good for killing time and entertainment."
“I recommend The Exorcist! The plot is very interesting, the graphics are very exquisite, and the frame rate is explosive!”
“It’s not a new show, but I think it’s really good. I don’t know if you’ve seen it. It’s called My Hero Academia. It might be a little hard to accept if you only watch the first episode, but if you watch the first two episodes together, the experience will be great. Now the plot has been serialized for more than ten episodes, and the characters and stories are getting more and more exciting. I highly recommend it!”
Qi Ling: "I've seen the promotional images of My Hero Academia, but I really can't accept the style of this animation, especially the man with two whiskers on his head, he's so ugly... But thank you for recommending it. I'm not interested in harem anime, I'll go search for Exorcist."
"You can't just look at the style of painting!" Bi Wenbin, who failed in his recommendation, couldn't help but struggle unwillingly: "In fact, once you get used to it, you will find that there is nothing wrong with this style of painting. There are also some good-looking characters in it, such as the recent Todoroki Shoto."
Qi Ling said indifferently: "Sorry, I still think that man with two whiskers on his head looks too weird and ugly."
Seeing that Amway had failed again, Bi Wenbin could no longer persist.
As a loyal fan and spiritual shareholder of Huaying, Bi Wenbin has been trying to get others to join the game these days. Of course, you can't force others to follow the show. Since Qi Ling is not used to it, Bi Wenbin will naturally not force it...
However-
Three days later.
When Bi Wenbin opened the chat group again, he suddenly found that the atmosphere in the group seemed to be different from before.
Qi Ling: "Oh my god, when the little angel Midoriya received the admission letter from U.A. and smiled at his mom, he was so cute!! (Holding his face)"
Qi Ling: "Let me introduce you to my husband, Mr. Hong. I don't accept any rebuttals. Thank you! (loudly talking)"
Qi Ling: "I finished watching English in two nights, and now I really think that Uncle Ou is the most handsome man in the universe. Is there any hope for my aesthetic taste?"
Bi Wenbin was a little shocked.
Didn't you say a few days ago that you have no interest in shonen comics? And you kept saying that Uncle Ou's style is so weird and ugly, but now you turn around and become really interested in cute comics
Are all you women so fickle
