I avoided reading this for so long because I knew the mangaka would fuck it up lolol. As it is I couldn't really enjoy the story...the racism in it didn't even make sense. So the dude is from a tribe so "undeveloped" that the modern Japanese man has to teach him how to kiss and have sex? Edit: To clarify, it's not even that the Japanese character has to tell him how but what a kiss even *is*, and the difference between a friendly and more intimate one. But human sexuality is not a modern phenomenon it is human. People will explore it, on their own, from childhood, because it is *biology* and innate, for the vast majority, if just out of curiosity. To dehumanise Qual to the point where he is practically a blank slate for others to imprint on, in this sense, is really wrong. Just have him be a virgin. Why take it so far?

Plus he's from a tribe that a) is mostly men so *obviously* they do the business with each other (the fuck?) and b) dedicates a whole day to sex after the ceremony so they obv already know about it, even if it was hetero (which, again, hard to believe because of point (a). If the tribe is that ancient, they were around fucking before "Japan" existed ffs.

Why even in the world was this man wearing the mask in the airport? He's Foreign and Exotic, I get it. How implausible is that? It wouldn't even be allowed by security. If he were African, I'm sure they're require him to carry a frickin lion on his head or some shit...

I'm not even going to get into that Colonial Asshole University Chairman who thinks he can decide which peoples get to be a civilisation. I just assumed the whole time that he was meant to be the clueless bad guy...

    Their tactic now seems to be "ignore what makes sense, keep repeating what they like to hear and drown out everything else"

    All I have done is use the "leave a reply" feature as it is intended -- to have a discussion. I'm not sure what evidence you have of anyone being "buthurt and petty" or "worked up" beyond us daring to hold an opinion that is different from yours. You are trying to make yourself appear more reasonable than others and it's not working.

    The "this isn't real" position is a stupid one. Otherwise, why are you getting so defensive about something that "isn't real"? Why find it cute? Why enjoy it? Because you get real pleasure from it. Others will not enjoy the same things as you do. You can question it, but I can't take you seriously if you indulge in childish remarks instead of addressing any of my points. "I am native and I liked it" is not persuasive. (I did edit my original post so you can reread it...or just leave us "buthurt" ppl to suffer, whatever suits you.)

    Bad fiction doesn't have to make sense but good fiction does. That's about as basic a standard as you can get. We may enjoy some works *despite* this flaw but it is a flaw. In some fiction the other elements may be so enjoyable that you can ignore the mistakes here and there. Some mangas are supposed to be really over the top, and that's fine, I can enjoy that too. But this manga relies so much on othering one of the MCs to such unnecessary extremes that I can't ignore it (in a way that happens IRL all the time).

    If you can okay! I won't quarrel with you about it. I enjoy some problematic works as well. But I can enjoy those works *and* recognise what's problematic about it at the same time. I don't have to pretend there isn't a reason why others may have a problem with it. You can enjoy this manga *and* recognise that others have valid reasons for not enjoying it and that it's okay to express that, rather than to dismiss it as being petty.

    Lol ok ??? I'm gonna end this right here dude but like I still don't get why you had to say so much negative things about this manga bro like just get over it I don't understand why u have to make such a big deal out of it but ok I wasn't being defensive about it I just hate people who take something as simple as a manga into such a big problem imso??? This is like the 3rd time I've seen this and y'all fighting over fictional characters if you didn't have anything nice to say about it you could've just left it alone gtg

    Just because you like it you just want people to stop talking about it's flaws? Why don't people leave this alone instead of cheap excuses to justify how they like to fap to it. That in itself is a bit suspicious. You can't rebut it at a conceptual level. Yet you unnecessarily get mad and you pretend like you're the logical one here by pulling out and saying "I'm gonna end this right here" blah blah blah. I think ppl below have said "yes u can enjoy it so long as you RECOGNISE it's flaws" and judging by so may ppl's comments these days, I think they've recognised it but are too butthurt without evidence that now everything is a denial game.why don't you let it go?
