I don't know if that character is supposed to be black or tanned but bruh . I know this a Korean comic but wow....(⊙…⊙ )
They definitely knew it was offensive back then, this particular depiction of black and brown people originates from post slavery Jim Crow era racism there is no concieveable way they would not have known. The whole race isn't innocent, they knew and they have always known. There are black/brown people in asia and there always have been (India for random example), even east asia (indigenous koreans) which is what I think you're referring to. Antiblackness and colorism aren't exclusive to the west.
In some animes or mangas they never saw a black person in the really olden days thats bc of colonization that white people made the ugly representation of black people and Asian people just carriednit on bc most asian people back then have never done research on a black persons looks it was still racist and was not right but they had an excuse just that the excuse was never okay.. now that they have seen a black person in their life now they have no excuse for this..

Ok so I looked at the raws, and the comments talking about how their not actually siblings may be true. So one of the devil boxes was cracked open and the devils wing was still in their unlike when Mc did it. Which may mean that if "twin" broke it he could possibly not be related as it only works for the true bloodline
So I read the authors note after finishing season two, and they said that tapas decided not to continue the series as it wasn't profitable enough ╥﹏╥ this a stretch but I feel like sites that rip official English releases are largely contributing to issues like this. This was also probably hard on the artist who is now not earning money from this venture anymore and that breaks my heart. So please, pay for official chapters if you can and don't say "I don't have any money" that doesn't make reading illegal chapters morally right, its like saying "I have no money, so I'll rob a house of all its food and possessions even though I didn't work for those items, I don't have money so it's okay!"

apparently, William (mc real brother) committed suicide because he was gay and was getting bullied and had a crush on elliot.. wow ┗( T﹏T )┛. Also, Lilian is only half brothers with William. Apparently, her mother had an affair and the guilt drove her to go mad and repeatedly tried to murder Lilian as a child. Lilian's mother accidentally kills her husband when trying to kill Lilian cause her husband was protecting Lilian. I've read manga with a tragedy tag less horrific than this oml. I didn't read the raws but the spoiler forum at https://forum.novelupdates.com/threads/19th-end-century-memorandum.106452/page-2 so I can't say if this 100% accurate or not. lowkey want this to be wrong since I wanna cry after knowing the backstory of William ╥﹏╥
everyone be talking about the prince but the king is hella hunky! (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
