Trying to be unique in a largely crowded endeavor like Japanese manga is a very difficult game. Like choosing names for one’s creations. So some authors have to resort to using bewildering longer titles if only to stand out, and it gets weirder in very prolific manga subgenres such as a harem romcom.
I faintly remember about Japanese creatives – and some businessmen – trying to find naming inspirations from practically anywhere – a favorite movie, actor, athlete, an odd quote, a catchy phrase in French or Italian (there is heavy use of “atelier”), etc. – for which to name their next work, not just manga but Japanese product names and trademarks in general; a girl’s fashion brand over there which had taken a “Cecil McBee” as its trademark without the knowledge of the actual musician bearing that name (he was informed of it, got surprised, then tried unsuccessfully to sue in court).
The long title trend started with web novels that had to grab people’s attention among a text list of other titles.
This entire post is the title of a short light novel series about anthropomorphic honeybees.
Where can I watch “Blood Joe Dating Two Slime Stepsisters At The Same Time”?
I would read the HELL out of Blood Joe!!!
Could someone link the stepsister slime girls manga, so I can make fun of it?
Hey, give them some slack, they’ve got to stand out among the sea of mediocre titles.
