I definitely think it was meant to be more disturbing than anything else, though I believe the author is moreso trying to show what terrible circumstances can make people do. They both cared so much for each other that at the end when Atsushi turned into a fiend, Miko said that he probably would have done the same thing if Atsushi had been the 'miko' of that generation.
Definitely disturbing, but moreso showing a mixture of desire/good intentions gone wrong.
Actually yeah I'm pretty sure you're right!! Overall it was def an interesting read!!
I really enjoyed reading this, like the art is absolutely beautiful, the plot is intriguing, and the world building is so convincing. I‘m unsure how I’m supposed to feel about the rape in it; I’m disturbed by it and it might be meant to be disturbing?? Like how it’s also meant to be disturbing that the townspeople were lowkey taking advantage of the children. Idk if the author wanted the rape to be viewed as romantic or not, but I’ll choose to view it as disturbing. Also before anyone wants to argue, yes that was rape, the Miko was saying no and was trying to reject him but the dude still went ahead and did it. I think the Miko still went towards him after he turned into a fiend because they’re friends. Anyway, it’s a really interesting story!!
