is Hakozume "Misandric" or do I feel wrong?

Kasra092 said:
every man in Hakozume is a bad person! for example, Kawai's father is a drunk man who gets his family to trip rarely! (in the official Funimation subtitle the word "rare" is exactly written so we are not talking about fansub!) Although Kawai mentioned his father only got his family on a trip once!

or every lawbreaker is an abusive man but every lawbreaker woman is polite and nice! (like the old woman on a bike who got Speed penalty and never insulted Fuji)

or another example is they warn two high schoolboys for smoking but when they find a woman who is smoking too, their Behavior changes and speak so polity to her (even the way she is sat is good! but anime shows men so dirty)

even the design of men's faces and shapes is ugly but every woman's design Is like they are oppressed

I'm not trying to say that all men are great and they never do mistakes but this anime shows every man in a negative way, not a fair way, and women are Oppressed or 100% nice

I understand that I can not watch this (so I dropped) but I just want to share my feeling about it and I think Hakozume is Misandric

Guys it’s an anime it’s fictional….

Don’t compare to real life….

I mean If it was real life or based on real life Japanese policing

The coroner would of been called for the death of that old man in episode 3…. No parademics or health professionals where called on to the scene 🤦 .

And before any one quotes my comment…

I am Nearly 30… and have friends in police and healthcare
And I can assure you all countries follow similar rules to dealing with natural deaths or suspicious deaths

The author was a police officer for 10 years so why would she make up stuff like that?
Unless this was an anime only scene.

How would you know the author was a former police officer in Japan… ? Got any proof or facts to back it up…
Or you talking sh##% ?

It's mentioned on the manga's official website:
"She worked for a certain prefectural police for 10 years. In 2017, without listening to the restraint of her editor, she abandoned the stability of a civil servant and became a full-time mangaka."

You could also check this 4 page interview with the author (in Japanese).
Some background about the author in English

Edit: Got these lovely messages from @Hashiriya_weeb87 today for giving him the "proof" that he wanted.

Some people really hate being wrong huh?

You're spot on, OP.

Garbage, man-hating propaganda is how I would summarize this anime.

The source manga was started at the height of the #MeToo era, and it shows.

So far, 3 of 5 released episodes are so bad that they are unwatchable. Even the other 2 episodes have moments of misandry.

It's a real shame, because the anime production values and voice acting are excellent. They are are the only silver-lining in this turd.

The anime has a promising 1st episode, but it goes downhill from there. More than a few anime in recent times have had a couple anti-male episodes to play to the current political climate, but Hakozume goes way beyond the usual level.

I don't think so, I mean yeah the men were all ugly, but I didn't feel any hate for them being expressed in the show.
I will say Yamada was my favourite, even though he looked like the short tempered stereotype, or the comedy relief dumb stereotype. He was pretty likable. Fuji was charming and I loved her no holds barred personality.
Plus SNK also has only ugly men in it and a handful of pretty girls, why not call that anime misandric and see what the fanbase have to say.

SNK? Well whatever. Once again it's not about how they look it's about how they are presented.

Though making fun of the detectives for looking like yakuza was a bold statement about their fashion sense.
