No, this isn't my signature. |

Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.  |
| I thought Turbo granny was the protagonist |

I thought Okaruns golden balls are the protagonist. Cause this show is all about deez nuts |

| Generally I like well written female protagonists, Claymore did a great job and DanDaDan is doing excellent so far |
Sometimes it takes a real man to be best girl. Gilgamesh is also chad.   |
| She was the first character to appear on screen, and her appearance isn’t linked to a character’s backstory. That by itself was a dead giveaway. |
| It'll all be okay in the end. If you're not okay, it's not the end. |
| The synopsis should be a dead giveaway😅 Anyway, female lead can also be done really well in battle shounen, another example will be Frieren✍️🔥 |
| Everything that exists, there will be haters. Pay no attention to them haters, enjoy what you like with them who enjoyed as well. Life is too short to always hating |

whats Your, point? yeah she is the protagonist and we couldn't be more happy it is the way it is ? so what's your point anyway?
| @xavierkun did you read until the end to get my point? |
| I mean she was the first character that we saw, which is an indicator most of the time. |
| Even if Momo can be considered the protagonist, Okarun has a larger presence than just a “male lead” in a series with a female mc typically would. I’m inclined to say it’s about 55-45, where Momo is just a bit ahead. But if this series started to shift its focus only to one of the 2 characters, it would be losing part of what makes it special |
mufflertape said: It's dual, even in situations where Ken is not in the action, he is still doing important stuff. They have never not been in it together more or less. Trying to keep it spoiler free. If they were separate then the series would lose its charm. I love what I’ve seen of Momo so far, but if Okarun was just a supporting character I probably wouldn’t enjoy it as much. |

| glad that he isn't .Enough of self insert vegetable guys |
| After episode 7, I would not be overly surprised if Ken wound up third behind Momo and Aira. |
| Lord Cruelty V "But my Dreams they're not as empty, as my conscience seems to be" |
| also if you notice the tactician or brains of the fights so far its all momo and that will not change in the future arcs so far |
| Momo is a solid protag though plenty of shounen have a fem C. Girls only series are fairly common. It is rarer from a battle standpoint though. |
 |
| would be better as a dual mc story, arcs missing one of the two aren't my cup of tea. even as a huge fan. |

That has nothing to do with it, they are both protagonists, that thing about appearing first on the screen doesn't make much sense sometimes. Believe me, there are works where another character is the one who appears first than the protagonist or protagonists, and that does not always mean that the character who appeared first is the protagonist, the story is about the two of them. Obviously someone must appear first, not even if they were Siamese, what you say doesn't make much sense either since Okarun appears practically at the same time as Momo, which is chapter 1 and in the manga it is the same. By first appearance, I’m not alluding to chapters, just the order they’re introduced in general. Yeah, it’s obvious they’re both the protagonists, we’ve seen this done in action shonen before; I was focusing more on the fact if there were a leading protagonist it would be more so momo rather than okarun, especially since you see less of okarun as the manga goes on. Momo isn’t the central focus of the franchise, but there’s always a protagonist that the story fixates on the most between 2 or more main characters. Like Yui from K-ON, Itadori, Gon etc etc. |
| It'll all be okay in the end. If you're not okay, it's not the end. |
| Nah, I'm the Protagonist |
