The Brave Room Episode 19 – Rom Comi San Can’t Develop Characters

This week on the Brave Room, we talk about the only genre that matters- Rom Coms. Wan has dragged our editor Ben into The Brave Room to discuss all things Rom Com- from Ben’s favorite rom com this season, Nagatoro, to Wan’s laughably bleak outlook on the upcoming Komi San anime.

Considering how popular romantic comedies are, it’s no wonder the gang decided to finally do an episode on the matter. One hitch is that Ben and Wan are very much a whole generation apart, so their definitions of what makes the perfect rom com tends to be kind of, well, different. At one point Wan talks about the excellent Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku, only to be met with confusion.

Of course, it wouldn’t be an in-house episode of The Brave Room without a Wan rant, and this time it’s targeted at both the author as well as the fans of the Komi San manga. The two discuss just what’s so appealing about romantic comedy manga, as well as why certain subgenres can come off so dang uncomfortable when you’re 27 and have the mental breathing room to do deep dives on random manga you read.

The Brave Room is GamerBraves’ own podcast, hosted by “Wan” Amirul and Kit “Who has better stats, Komi or Nagatoro?” Chew.  It’s available on Anchor, Spotify and YouTube.
