Even though I love this mangaka and I've been enjoying this manga very much, somehow the portrayal of Chinese people as criminals, drug addicts and rapists doesn't sit right with me when it comes from a Japanese author and especially given the historical context of the story (sorry if it's disrespectful for me to bring it up but I think we all know what the Japanese army was up to just a few years later).
And like, yeah, I guess it does a good job showing that people were horrible to immigrants but Jesus Christ why does it also feel like it's trying to make it seem like it was justified in a sense.
I don't know, man, maybe it's just me who feels this way, but maybe they didn't think this one through.
Sorry if I sound kinda preachy, that's not my intention. I just wanted to get this off my chest.
