Honestly I find even Sophie the Duchess of Winterwald's obsession with the late Princess Vanessa kinda creepy.
It's a chain of obsession for real!
Old king being obsessed with his sister, daughter who has the same eye color as the sister, grandniece who looks like his sister.
Duke who was a simp for Sophie to the point that he doesn't really even care much about the happiness of his own child with Sophie.
Sophie who was loyal, devoted to Princess Vanessa, sure that's fine but.... to have favoured Jonas and not be equal with her affection with both Jonas and Ruediger is weird.
You all can call Vanessa selfish for using Sophie as a bargaining chip but girl was desperate to escape! That I can understand.
I think Ruediger got his devotion, sense of duty & loyalty from his mum and the Simping from his dad ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
Luca is right to want to just be a Maibaum. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
That Franz really is seriously Delulu!
I still don't completely get his villain role, his delusion, greed and inferiority complex are the key things he has going for him.
His features are so plain like background character no. 42, he hardly had any facial expression. He has that glazed creepy look in his eyes that's just unsettling because he looks so plain. (Handsome plain, yes he's not absolutely ugly I'll admit)
I don't get why he has this unrelenting drive to ruin the Winterwald and mainly Kill Luca like... he's a kid!!????
Why was he so obsessed with ending Luca before the regression while this time he's obsessed with ruining Rudi.
Can't even trust a single thing that falls out of his mouth! He lies so effortlessly.
Isabella is so precious I can't even imagine her ever being with that plain Franz yuck!
This manga, the plot, the lore, it's about War and how it effects people. Not people in power but those without it. The average folks like you and I.
It's beautifully balanced with sci-fi, a bit of sweet romance, comedy and spy action. We learn more about the side characters and their story, about how that same war affected them too.
We learn that war leaves no one untouched. In a medium we know and love.
It's perfectly timed as we all currently experience it too. Directly or indirectly.
I'm sobbing ╥﹏╥ it's a beautiful manga !!
That harp is HUGE! Our girl can't reach even half the strings! (^o^)(⌒▽⌒)
