Weren't they engaged according to traditions???? He should've atleast remained loyal. The author should be responsible, how can I been blame fictional character lol.
Addition to that, why not make uke have a sex partner too so that both sides get equal game. It's as if those stereotypical concept of the 'gay bottom' or female needs to be virgin and the 'gay top' or male should have many partners.... ( and boom one day seme tells uke, "I've loved you since you were an embryo and I never thought abt someone else & I cannot see you with another guy while you have to see me wake up naked with my cute and hot sidechicks"....)
It is my thinking.... I would've been absolutely fine if author made a hot side hen Or side rooster for uke too. ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
Where does it say they were engaged according to what traditions (inside this manga)?
Also yes, we blame fictional characters, we congratulate them, we suffer with them or we are happy with them. It's part of being absorbed in the story. It's the reason why any author writes anything, not for us to look at the author, but to have our journey with the characters.
Anyways, semes and ukes have been blamed by having sexual encounters outside their STILL NOT ESTABLISHED romantic relationship. It happens in every manga that has this topic and it gets WAY WORSE when is the uke who sleeps around. It's nothing new, and a topic that will never die bc ppl has problems with possessiveness and monogamy.
To make it short, patriarchal structures still stand strong and we have to fight them, I agree on that point. But to blame someone, uke or seme, for freely sleeping around while there is no established relationship? Hell naw. Keep your loyalty for when you're in a relationship.
Oooh I went searching for the engagement tradition, found it on ch5. Had forgotten completely about it lmao.
I still stand by my opinion tho.
The ones saying the prince is a manwhore need to know this, it's mind-blowing: Love ≠ Sex
Just because someone has a crush on someone else doesn't mean absolute celibacy for either party, are you crazy or what.
