I'm a little sad they took it out but in the novel, fjord didn't go to the garden specifically to warn lilica about the fire, there was no urgency in their encounter
they just happened to meet and leisurely guided her out while having a tender yet casual conversation I really liked it :(
this is without a doubt one of, if not THE MOST, realistic (in the best possible way) manga I've ever come accross.
it doesn't even feel like a manga if that makes sense (?) , maybe because I've grown so used to the status quo of sexism in the japanese culture that is often displayed in almost all japanese media I have ever consumed wether it be manga/news/movies/tv shows
this is the first time I've scene them touch up on sexuality in such a way or carefully explain the layers of it in such a logical and gentle manner and if that wasn't already so beyond amazing they even bring on topics like healthy food relationships and the concept breaking free from your toxic family and asserting personal boundaries.
I kid you not I never thought I would ever see the day where I would read the word ASEXUAL in manga. I am beyond myself with happiness, respect and gratefulness to the author
the amount of money im about to spend trying to get my hands on some physical copies is disgusting ┗( T﹏T )┛
if you're saying ALL land dwellers are bad people solely because silvia was mistreated doesn't that say the same about your own kind since those 3 guys only betrayed but also tried to kill keil or even the people who constantly harrased and mistreated keil for being born out wedlock?
bro changed his opinion on world domination faster than lightning, bro you SUCK as a king and like.... as a person in general
he's seriously so unlikeable and punchable
I'm well aware she's probably going to be a romantic challenge for abigail but the mermaid saying "my destined partner" for some reason makes me think the author is gonna pull a twist and have the mermaid actually be reffering to abigail XD
when you think about it would make sense because mermaids are female so being into girls wouldn't be that weird
maybe it's just me but it seems like 3/4 of the characters treat nene like crap or seem to not give a shit about what happens to her as long as they get what they're interested in even she was the one who helped them in the first place
but it feels the strongest with these 3 motherfuckers I just cannot like no matter how much I try
- TERU, kou's sadistic older brother literally only seems to intervene with her because of kou himself being involved (bro-con) he constantly looks down and treat nene like an idio with a smile on his cocky ass face
- AKANE (the guy) his entire personality is him being OBSESSED (Not in love, OBSESSED) with aoi and treats nene like a freaking doormat and I can bet you all my money had aoi asked him to kill nene he'd do it in a heart beat without giving a shit
- then theres AOI herself who might easily be the worst out of all of them and to be honest I have to hand it to nene she's a WAY bigger person than I would ever be
aoi takes the cake out of all of them because not only did she pretend to actually be friends and care for nene she legit didn't bat an eye at the chance to let nene fucking DIE....let that sink in, FREAKING MURDER and then we're just supposed to forgive because "whoa is me nobody likes me for me" YEAH NO SHIT DUDE THE REAL YOU IS CAPABLE OF ENDING ANOTHER HUMAN'S LIFE
personally I could never get over sumi telling karasuma that he was lucky someone could ever love him just cause he slept around. It would be one thing if karasuma was a useless and unqualified person that just slept around to keep his position but in reality it had been pointed out several times that he's an skilled and accomplished employee
but he soon realized just how bad and sneaky the work world he was entering was so he did what he thought he needed to do survive in that work enviroment as an omega when talent and hardwork wouldn't allow him to escape that label even if it was collaterally self destructive.
it's remarkably more bitchy since karasuma was never hostile towards sumi, helped him out and even recognize his talent as an employee but sumi just degrades him at any chance he gets (I'm not dismissing his trauma btw but still that's a coworker you're berating on the first meeting)
what pains me even more is how much karasuma also believes the same and doesn't fight him on it. He's so submissive and just plain at peace and content with his mate and healthier life choices that he just doesn't want sumi to get dragged in his past and then he's just met with such nasty words. I don't care if this is supposed to be the "better" story because the bottom wasn't a quote and quote "slut"
your sexual history DOES NOT determine your worth as a person. Sorry if society has made you think otherwise
......unless you're a pedophile, if so burn in HELL
