(manga) Chiba (Just A Token Male)
Title: Chiba (Just A Token Male)
Focus: Chiba Mamoru/Tuxedo Kamen from Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon
Owner: Veve (veve_w)
URL: www.sensorial.org/chiba

You should visit this shrine because...: There is a fairly common perception amongst fans that Mamoru is a weak, useless character. He's always dead, being rescued or just there. Veve tackles her favourite character head on in this articulate and memorable shrine. Many people attempt (and fail) to combine imaginative opinion with cold hard facts, Veve is not part of this rabble. "Chiba" is executed in a delicate manner, perfectly balancing engaging opinion pieces and canon articles. It isn't the biggest shrine in the world, nor is it updated frequently but it is one you will need to bookmark- it's an absolute keeper.

Highlight: All of the articles are great but I particularly liked the "Defending my bishounen" piece. It debunks numerous myths about Mamoru in a unique and informative manner. There's no mincing words here!
