It can be interpreted as racism. Stories are for people to interpret on their own and if people interpret it that way they can.
Yesss someone here saying only the truth!!! But yeah. I feel like a lot of people came to read cause the fl has dark skin. While I'm here cause the title instantly made me go "Oooh~" But yeah since I don't take comments to heart that much. Some on these comments make me....idk. Cause I'm like, have they never seen a dark skinned Asian. And since when have these types of comics referred to any country except Japan or the fantasy one? But yeah haha

Cause I'm like, have they never seen a dark skinned Asian. And since when have these types of comics been referred to any country except Japan(and Korea) or the fantasy one? But yeah haha
Please stfu....u don't know there are black japanese people right......the fl wasn't black she was a dark skinned japanese
Calm down that's not what the commenter said. It's actually like the opposite, they were referring to other comments
Love the character building and the setting !
And for all the people in the comment section harping about racism : this is a bloody FANTASY setting, with none of our races, none of our history, none of that. Stop bringing your own hang-ups and modern issues into this. For fuck’s sake. I understand if you, personally, would have preferred for her to stay dark-skinned because of the aesthetic (I would have preferred that as well), but don’t go all « this is racist », « racist author », or worse « I only read this because the character is dark-skinned, so Imma drop this ». What the actual hell ? How do you read a story JUST because the character is dark-skinned ? And stop with the « muh-representation » already. I can understand wanting to see people who look like you, but newsflash : manga characters literally look like nobody, in most cases they’re supposed to represent Asian people (not White, or Black, or Middle Eastern, etc.), nobody (author, writer, etc.) has ANY obligation to include « representation ». If they want to draw only Asian people ? Good for them. If they only want to draw Black people ? No problemo here. If they want to draw only white people ? That’s their prerogative. As long as the quality of the drawings and of the story are good, that’s what matters. Not every country is the US, not every country has that history, leave the rest of the world the fuck alone already.
For now, the story and drawings are good, that’s what’s important.
