Addressing the hate

To save you all some time I’m going to be talking about why everyone in the comments is fighting over the manga. I’m also going to be sharing my thoughts and opinions on this. Spoilers btw. You were warned.

The MC of the story is blessed by the dark spirit which causes her to have both dark hair and dark skin but later on in the manga she will be blessed by the light spirit and her skin will turn white.

Do I think the author is racist/colorist?
No. Just a simple reminder that the MC is not black she’s Japanese but has tan skin for all of you out here saying that the author hates black people. Also the MC’s skin color was originally supposed to be white but turned tan because of the dark spirit so she literally just reverted back to her regular skin color I guess. (Also I’m black so I don’t wanna hear any of that “you don’t understand” bs. It’s really sad that I have to state my skin color just to make my point more valid)

Am I disappointed?
Yes. One of the main reasons I came to this story and one of the main things that makes it stand out was the dark skinned MC. Let’s be honest guys this manga isn’t really doing anything new besides having a dark skinned MC. It has all the basic Villainess manga tropes. So it’s not surprising that people are dropping this manga after it lost the one thing that made it special. Also I can’t really blame people for being mad. How often do you see a dark skinned MC in a shoujo manga? This manga could have been really amazing too. It could have shown the struggles of a girl who is looked down by everyone because of how she looks and has low self esteem because of it but then slowly comes to love herself and gain loved ones who don’t care about her appearance. Instead it’s just a story about a girl who everyone is afraid of and hates because she’s dark skinned, but then she gets light skin and everyone begins to love her. (Also yes it was because of her dark skin that they hated her and not just because of the dark spirit because when she gets lighter skin they all start talking about how beautiful she is even though she is still attached to the dark spirit)

Am I dropping this manga?
No. Why? Because I’m isekai trash. Nuf said.

If y’all want some non problematic villaines mangas/manwhas tell me and I’ll recommend some.
