imo the best way to read this manga is read it like a fantasy. i really really like this manga but i read it with the same amount of seriousness as those robot lover mangas.

as someone with a relevant background, i appreciate the translator notes that are there in case some people really do go in expecting a realistic depiction. i noticed some people not liking it and i understand, i don’t read them myself, but do make sure you are aware of what you are consuming when you are consuming it. this manga definitely romanticizes and fetishizes mental disorders, so if you take it too seriously it can be a really awful concept. that’s why, don’t treat it as a mental disorder—even go ahead and forget the name of it entirely, just pretend that this is a fiction trope and that it’s just here for entertainment. dont let it affect the entertainment value, but also don’t let it affect what you really believe in real life.
