Look I tried to left this topic because I did understand what was the point of Megako-chan, the decision to keep or not reading its there, but IT HAS a sensitive topic that was brought to light, yes you don't have to cancel the manga or the author because you don't know if it was a bad translation but understand that is it wrong to use those kinds of sentences and it will be offensive. If you're on the receiving end of this you'll be the first one to jump into a fight
Meaning: everything you wrote.

If you were on the receiving end you'll be the first to jump into a fight, meaning, everything you just did, who's the sensitive kid now?
Lol I even write it twice
If that person is a poc then you are a complete mf jerk. African savage line whether it was official trans or not is still RACIST and can trigger POC. You have NO PLACE to discuss whether it was funny or stupid,racist jokes aint funny and they will never be. Also if you are a poc talking that sht you are WORSE than whites brushing it off as a joke. Btw im a white person who hates whites we do exist by a big number
Hayyyssss ok I don't want to fight anymore tsk just don't read the manga if you hate "RACISM" you say okokok...
I haven't read all the comments in this thread, but I wanted to say, I'm a minority race myself & I believe within the context, it was meant to be ironic & point out the negative stereotype, i.e. other statements were unmarried people are losers, type b blood type are self centered. None of those things are true & the mangaka is making that point through irony.
That's the whole point.
can you like, just stop? we all get that the whole section here is a misunderstanding in the story but it's frustrating to see you still commenting on it as if you didn't just mock someone for finding this issue sensitive. thanks
You are a minority race, but are you black? Even if you are you must recognize that the line was completely unnecessary. Literally anything else would've been a good replacement for that line
Well look at you, you special little snowflake. You're calling me sensitive but you're the one annoyed by my comment pointing out racism, which I have to deal with. I haven't "cancelled the story" & I didn't tell anyone they can't read it because I don't want to. I gave MY fucking opinion on a shitty line that ruined the manga for me before I could finish reading it. You are naive & very childish if you think you can go around disrespecting people & they can't be offended by it. You think you're edgy & cool by being "insensitive & strong" but you need to grow tf up. The world doesn't work like that. You have no idea what "the real world" is.
I understand the context, I think that line was completely unnecessary & not on the same level as the rest of the things in the box. I'm not saying anyone else can't read & enjoy it. It's a problem for me.
you're totally valid. i also felt it was a weird and got uncomfortable as a afro-brazilian myself.
I clicked off as soon as I saw that "Africans are savages" line. This is just completely racist. Idc how good you guys say the story is, I can't look past this.
Edit: I can't believe I have to say this but how the hell is "For example, how high school graduates are below university graduates, For example how Type B blood types are self-centered, For example how unmarried people are losers," in anyway on the same level as "For example how Africans are savages?!" Pray tell. There are any number of lines she could've used in place of that. Those 3 are just useless, harmless "stereotypes" that hurt NO ONE vs something that has gotten people of African descent killed for centuries!! And I'm not supposed to have a problem with it?! Read the fucking manga if you want, I never said you couldn't but don't tell me I'm being sensitive as if I'm putting a gun to your head to prevent you from reading this mangaka's work again. Please grow up people! Once again, thank you to the people with brains who can understand shit even if it doesn't affect them directly.
