i also wish this story focused more on the healing aspect with his friends rather than just dealing with romance. it would have been more better. i have a feeling the blonde-haired woman is going to be a love interest and it's gonna get annoying. we don't need a harem.
I don’t think that cafe woman will be a love interest tbh, because she herself treats him like a children (as she should) and mc compared her to the infirmary guy as he felt the same safe space with her.
They both have no problem bashing toxic masculinity so he knows they won’t likely judge him for being rped by a woman despite being a boy
i'm generally worried about the mental state of the people who create these storylines and plots behind the scenes. the amount of rape/sexual assault in japanese bl mangas is so scary. can the cult not have been more occult-based that would have been way more bearable and interesting to read. seriously ugh.
I worry for people who think the way you do. Exploring dark themes in fiction, if done tactfully, shouldn’t be an issue. This is a dark story (and only has two chapters) that focuses on murder, cults, and sexual trauma (so far). Is the author a serial killer? Are they a cult leader?
No, any sane person can recognize the author is simply telling a story. They may explore themes of trauma, and should do so without being penalized for it. Especially when the assault is brief and not between the main characters (I’m a little confused where some of the people got that from. It’s at the very end of chapter 2).
Finding these themes uncomfortable is totally fair but you shouldn’t pass judgement on those who explore them or read about them. This militant mindset honestly does more harm to victims than helps.
(Side note: if this were rape porn or actual romanticization then I would be far more critical but I’m not seeing any signs of that. The brief seen was not meant to be titillating).
I would normally agree but this work is not the case, the r4pe scene here is clearly not shown to be romanticised in any sort of way! it’s just a part of the plot bc of the cultish themes! also to generalise the entire genre bc of the popular works w this trope is not it, there’s plenty of straight works w r4pe/assault etc too but u don't see the same outrage ppl have for it in bls
You probably consume so much sanitized media that you don't even fucking know how depraved cults are in real life. This is not even the surface of things, cults in real life have committed such heinous acts, basically crimes against humanity, especially to the vulnerable and children in large scale situations where even the local government can barely due shit due to legal loopholes. This manga actually shows the dark reality of cults, it's not some gothic fantasy shit where everyone worships and sacrifices goats to satan and be edgy in the dark, it's not a bunch of emos going woe is me and wearing black gothic victorian style clothes. Based on your comments i bet you were expecting that type of romanticized, santized viewpoint of this type of dark genre. Which tbf, i can't shame you for that cus i love that genre but this story just isn't what you are looking for. As said before, it's the dark reality of what real life cults are.
i find it unfair that narcissistic and mentally abusive parents can just ruin your childhood emotionally and psychologically and they get away with it leaving us no choice to take care of them and act like normal adults when you're already ruined mentally. why abuse your children when you know they're the only ones in the world willing to look after you in your elderly years? i also don't understand why they pretend it never happened when you bring it up too they always act like they were perfect parents. it's so frustrating. i found it relatable when he couldn't even cry when he saw that she died.
so is gojo actually weak? like he's not as strong as everyone made him out to be i'm confused when sukuna says that he's plain ordinary.
Sukuna is just spouting bs. He thinks he's invincible, and that Gojo ain't that strong. Though in actuality, they both are equally matched, I'd even go and say Gojo is stronger cuz he used unlimited void more times than Sukuna but they reached their limits at the same time. Prolly proves Gojo has more resistance than Sukuna.
All characters in Jujutsu Kaisen who call Gojo strong are the one who's weaker than Gojo and it's basically almost every character except Sukuna. Even Kenjaku did not try to fight him and seal him instead. Probably because he lose twice to two six eyes user in the past so now he try to seal Gojo as a six user in modern era but Gojo still able to get out. Is Good weak? Well, Sukuna thought he was weak.
lmao recently i saw a video talking about how even though blue lock is good there are aspects of it that make it cringey for example their over the top and exaggerated dialouge. it's so funny bcos i never even cared until the video and other readers pointed it out and now i just keep laughing when they're talking about being kings and stuff like i physically cringe.
Lmao i was watching it with my family and I loved it but my family doesn't watch anime and they kept mentioning how cringy the whole "monster" thing was...
Now I do too...I still love it but lmao
