@apc@starside.social ...and I feel we should give some time to the currently airing Daemons of the Shadow Realm, whose main character Yuru is introduced with his bow skills, hunter's personality, and deadly seriousness with tremendous emphasis right from the beginning.

@apc@starside.social While looking for the right kind of final type, I shall satisfy my manga requirement with my “first bow of manga”exposure. Iconic, though short-lived, as Akane’s long hair and bow (something she shares with eldest sister Kasumi) does not make it past chapter 13. Personally, I liked how the more feminine signaling traits merged with her martial skills and aggression even while fitin’ all the boys, which was not the quite same short-haired and bow-less. If only Takahashi encouraged the “next generation” of Ranma, and we could have gotten this return to form!
