New day, new post! As fans of Umamusume may or may not know, there are currently no horse boys in the series. They aren't even mentioned, and many fans think that the whole category of horses in this series can only be girls. This happened before with Nekopara, but eventually cat boys were added to that series. However, I don't think horse boys will ever be added to Umamusume. This is really disappointing because I'd actually love to see what they could do with it. Having only one gender in a series means you'll eventually run out of new designs. Not only this, but including both genders allows more creativity and unique characters. Along with this, a lot of otome games have male main characters while still including girls as side characters. This is to make the world feel more natural. But including only one gender makes things feel off balance. It gets tiring only seeing one, and it also makes the world feel fake. This is why it's difficult to enjoy games made for men, since all of the characters are usually only girls. However, it's also difficult to enjoy otome games if they're all men, since it makes things feel like they aren't real. I think games that have the majority be one gender while still including the other, even as background characters, makes it feel much more natural while still appealing to the target audience; so I hope they can do this with Umamusume in the future. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
