Not particularly skilled at combat, but tries his best. Wields a rather ordinary-seeming sword. All he wants from life is to be happy, but he doesn't really know what that means, or if he can ever obtain it.

Mangaka

Naoko Takeuchi, author of Sailor Moon, with a cosplayer.

**Mangaka** (漫画家) is a manga artist in Japanese. Outside Japan, the term is used both for the artist and writer of the manga, which is often the same person, while in Japan it only refers to the artist and not the writer.

## Origin

The word "mangaka" derives from "manga", which means a comic book in Japanese. The added suffix "-ka" means expertise or experience in a given field, in this case experience in drawing manga.

Mangaka usually start as assistants of existing mangaka, but some have made it directly into the industry by getting awards and recognition. For example, the *Sailor Moon* author Naoko Takeuchi won a contest by Kodansha and got famous without building her position from an assistant's role.

Many mangaka do not limit their work to drawing and writing manga and work in the anime industry as well and/or write light novels. Makoto Shinkai is a manga artist, writer, director, producer, animator, editor, cinematographer, voice actor and former graphic designer.

## Contemporary Usage

The term appears in some works that feature characters who work as mangakas, for example Rohan Kishibe from *JoJo*.

In real life, it is widely used to describe the author of a manga at conventions, wikis, in the otaku fandom and while describing someone's job.

## Examples

* Hirohiko Araki, author of *JoJo*
* Kohei Horikoshi, author of *My Hero Academia*
* Koyoharu Gotōge, author of *Kimetsu no Yaiba*
* Makoto Shinkai, author of multiple works, such as *5 Centimeters per Second* and *Your Name.*
* Naoko Takeuchi, author of *Sailor Moon*

**Velouria** is a member of the rebels, a former subordinate of CAGE, and best girl (according to Sushi). She is the most recent person to join the rebel forces, after being found by Zepp during the events of the story.

Velouria moved into the city due to her parents, despite her own wishes of staying on their farm. She initially joined CAGE and was mentored by Marshall, but later gets framed by the conspirators and gets into a conflict with the CAGE authorities. Initially, she was very shy and nervous, but Marshall was able to get her to open up more.

Due to a failed brainwashing after being caught by CAGE, she now has a robot similar to those used by the Mech Group that doubles as a mini fortress. The robot has a large chainsaw and is able to summon M249 guns. When she escaped with it, it was unpainted, but later Watts and Alpha help her paint it with a strawberry design. She uses a revolver when her robot is not summoned.

## Plot

Velouria grew up on her parents' farm, and has experience using a chainsaw. She wanted to help out her parents by continuing their farm, but they saw her potential and wanted her to find a decent job in the city. She ended up working for CAGE in the investigative department and became close with her mentor, Marshall. At the start of the story, Velouria and Marshall are the ones looking into the actions of the rebels.

Later, the investigative department uncovers some information on the conspirators, prompting them to take action. One day when Marshall gives Velouria the day off, Joker kills everyone in the department (including Marshall) while pretending to be Velouria, then breaks into her apartment and dresses her in the clothes worn during the killing. She ends up confronting Joker, but losing and then being brought to the superiors at CAGE.

Others planned to have her turned into an android, but Capreo opposed the idea and instead tried to give her several "improvements", including a memory wipe. This failed, however, and she woke up with a protective robot similar to those of Mech Group, summoned from her back. The robot can become a turret bunker with M249 machine guns and has a big chainsaw in addition to its shields and armor. With her new technology, she breaks out of the facility and goes on the run.

Not long afterwards, she is found by Zepp, who gives her the choice of either joining the rebel group or continuing to run aimlessly and probably get caught by CAGE eventually. She joins the rebels and aids them in battles, including against the Mech Group.

Doujinshi

*Not to be confused with Doujin Circle.*
**Doujinshi** (同人誌) is a term for self-published manga and other self-published works like novels or magazines. Often, it's made by fans and amateurs, but some professional artists do it as well. There are known mangaka who started out as *doujinshi* artists.

## Origin

The term derives from the Japanese word *dōjin*. In Japan, that word can have two meanings, one of them is for amateur self-published works in general, and the other one is for a circle or clique.

## Contemporary Usage

The otaku tend to use *doujinshi* to describe fanfiction manga or novels about characters from popular series. Such fanfiction is often posted online. It's not unusual to create hentai or parody *doujinshi*.

However, the term can be used in the "amateur manga" context as well, when an otaku creates their own work they don't share or share with friends and online communities. The otaku also know the original meaning and do use it when discussing known Japanese artists who perform it. Some self-publishing artists, including those who have professional skills, publish their manga like webcomics.

* Fred Gallagher publishes *doujinshi* online
* Minami Ozaki used to make *doujinshi* before debuting as a professional

Gore

A scene in Attack on Titan anime.

**Gore** is a sub-genre of the horror genre of anime and manga that includes more controversial series that feature more brutality, violence, and bloodshed.

The more classical horrors are often using the violence for entertainment purpose. Over the years, graphic violence started to be used more often outside pure horror genre and its entertainment purpose, and nowdays is sometimes used to showcase a darker storyline and the suffering of characters.

Characteristic for the genre is the use of graphical violence like dismembering, guts, brutal killings and larger blood splatters. The violence is sometimes against non-humans like demons or beasts, and can sometimes feature more twisted torturing or controversial premises.

## Notable Examples

Honorifics

### Description

Terms tied to someone's last name, depending on their status compared to the speaker's status.

### Examples

-san, -sama, -chan, -kun

**Honorifics** are an important part of Japanese culture that depend on the relationship between the speaker and the person one's referring to. They are tied to the person's last name, because using the first name is very informal and using only the last name without honorifics is rude.

## Origin

Honorifics derive from the Japanese tradition of putting an emphasis on one's background and position in hierarchy, based on criteria like age or social status, education, heritage or the position in one's job. The right honorifics are used depending on one's status compared to the other person's status.

There are exceptions when honorifics shouldn't be used. For example, when one talks about their inner circle (the close family) or talks to someone within a circle about someone from outside the circle (talking to one's boss about one's friend from outside the job).

## Original Meaning

The following meanings are used in real-life Japanese in everyday life.

* -san – an universal, most commonly used honorific that can be used for someone one doesn't know; it can be used for both genders between equals of any age
* -sama – a respectful version of -san for people of a higher rank than oneself or divine
* -chan – an informal honorific for females, babies, young children, close friends, grandparents, girls and young women, sometimes used when the speaker thinks someone is kawaii
* -kun –an informal honorific for males, male children, male teenagers, male friends or used when a girl refers to a boy she is attracted to
* -senpai – a honorific for one's older or more senior friends or colleagues
* -kohai – a honorific for one's younger or more junior friends or colleagues
* -sensei – a honorific for authority figures, teachers, politicians, doctors, lawyers, or people one looks up to
* -hakase – a version of -sensei to adress people with very high academic expertise, such as those with a PhD title or professors

## Contemporary Usage

Meanings of honorifics in the otaku culture can be different from the original meanings.

"Senpai" is sometimes used as a separate term not tied to the last name, used to refer to someone a person or a character is attracted to and wishes to be noticed by them. "Notice me senpai!" is a common phrase used to express one's wish to be noticed by someone they love.

The -chan honorific is frequently used to describe mascots or personifications of objects. Many otaku like to draw artworks of random things like planets or items of everyday use as cute girls. These are called by their original name with the -chan honorific, for example cute personified Earth is Earth-chan.

Otaku often implement all the honorifics while referring to their favourite characters or eachother. If a character is an endearing waifu, they are likely to use the -chan honorific; it's the same with a husbando and -kun. But if they view the character as superior to them and royal, they use -san or -sama.
