Oman is a goddamn Islamic country!!!!!
No sultan will send girls to his sons room so he get it.
And NO prince gon be going to a BAR.
This crap is disgusting bro...Actually.
If it was anything else okay, fake place, fake names but NAHHHHH. This is not okay. I swear bro I feel so offended by this on an astronomical level.
Is there a good article or documentary that portrays accurately an Islamic country or the life of a royal Arab family?
I'm not sure. I mean nowadays who would make an article or documentary about the good in people. The creators know only the bad and ugly is juicy enough for the audiences. But what you can look into is the history of Islamic rule and specifically (what I find most interesting) is the Caliphate (the ruling system in Islamic nation previously) as well as the ottoman empire. I suggest looking at the website first before reading or taking in any information from it. Like make sure it's not a website trying to throw shade on anything Islamic (disclaimer: it happens a lot v.v).
I recommend watching Al Risalah (The message 1976) it's a movie created based on Hadith and Quran which are Islamic scriptures, depicted the early days of Islam and what early day muslims went through (If you decide to watch it it's in English on this channel in youtube - M. AlOtatibe 77).
Anyways yeah, things like that are the most accurate. Because sadly the a majority of the current Islamic (/Arab) Royal families don't correctly follow Islamic Rulings and teaching as well as they should be doing. And if you wish to look deeper you can find everything online, including the multiple achievements and inventions that were done by muslims some of which include the creation of Universities, Algebra, Surgery, the compass etc.
Nowadays the rulers are corrupt all over the world only a few stand strong and true to Islamic teachings. Erdogan, the Turkish President is very righteous and Qatar is also pretty good. Oh and just a fun fact Oman is actually considered the 4th safest country in the world. So I hope you understand where I'm coming from with my displeasure towards this manga (/manhwa).
I am pretty sure that nowadays many people worldwide can stand America anymore.
I have my doubts about Erdogan and I know Qatar because they started Al Jazeera + AJ+ - Great Respect for these channels.
Thank You Very Much for the infos!
And I can comprehend your frustration.
I am a Taiwanese that dealt with Asian stereotypes, yellow faces and the model minority myth that came from Hollywood.
OMG YES I SWEAR I GET FRUSTRATED WHENEVER I SEE MISREPRESENTATION OF LITERALLY ALL EAST ASIAN PEOPLE ARE JUST REPRESENTED AS YELLOW FACED. You can just tell some people are ignorant and clearly didn't focus enough in their high school geography days and don't do their research before deciding to create a manga/cartoon/movie etc.
bro i am so happy you wrote this but i do think that every Islamic country will perceive Islam differently since you know when it got to that country it probably got Christians (because Christians) so there isn't a lot of pure Muslims that truly follow everything there is always circumstances and that is very much expectable to not do everything, of course, there is limites to how much you can not do but that is up to you and there i a lot of corruptions especially in my country (Morocco) which is pretty sad but money will always win there is nothing we can do about it
and tbh i am nobody to talk so take what i say for a grain of salt
What do you think about the manga Satoko & Nada?
Mmmm not gonna lie I have mixed feelings. I like that it gives information about Islam in a serious way while still being light-hearted. Buuutttt again I don't feel comfortable with the "All-out girls night" every 2 seconds and stuff like that. But I mean I only read 9 chapters so I don't know anything about the other 200 chapters. xD
But it is kinda progressive storytelling, right?
progressive storytelling?
A more nuanced positive portrayal of Muslim characters.
Yeah and that was the cool bit. Especially when the muslima pointed out that she isn't forced to wear the hijab. But yeah prety progressive indeed. ^.^
AT LEAST use fake names, made up place I get uou wanted to indicate the MC is from South Korean and the dude is a mix of french and Oman...but this aint it.
Couldve been a really good story, but nahhhh.
A white ass blonde hair, blue eyes dude as the 'sultan' is stupid. Thess ppl dont know how genes work...DUDE AINT GON TURN OUT LOOK STRAIGHT OUTTA FRANCE WHEN HIS DAD IS ARAB (Oman specifically). Idiots.
tbh i don't get it either i am kinda insulted because oman men are pretty attractive i dont get why the author lade him so white just make him a bit darker at least he can look like he's brother ?? (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ i kinda feel like the author thinks middle east men aren't attractive or just doesn't bother
SCHOOL ARC's ARE ALWAYS MY FAVORITEEEE CAN'T WAITTTTT. And um just wanna appreciate ma boy's looks for a sec like H.E.L.L.O there. Call me up in a few years
I personally have an ideal and that is that there will always be that ONE main MAIN character. In this case I'm reallyyyyy frustrated bcs who the fudge is it??? I swear...
I think we got two main characters here: Psyche and Medea. Regarding the ml I can only guess that Medea and Heli end up together ... but I don’t know about Psyche. I really hope Iaros gets what he deserves and dies or smth which would only leave the redhead for Psyche ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I agree cardinal and helios ftw
From rival to TOP CLASS, ULTIMATE WING-MAN!!!!!!! BADASS WINGMAN AT THAT~~~

The Love spirits have spoken and all these ML's won't let you go...ever.
Ahhhh sad but true. SIKE OMGGG YESSSS I LOVE THIS BRO TT^TT

Sike about it being sad. Not about them never letting her go. Cause we all know separation anxiety is present and dominant so...

And everyone in the comments just gon act as if they did not fangirl over Kang's muscles the scene where he walks out of his room and is wearing a singlet, while putting on a shirt.
(Chapter 43, Page 24 >.>)
It's all coming together >.<
The red haired knight (just wanna say...ummm Y.U.M because you really do be looking FINE~) The fountain pen? Are those his initials???
Hahaha I love this and um foot note: Blonde haired dude is a HOE and too sparkly ya know. Personally Ash is more appealing and the red-haired knight is on another level from the King. Wow.
MICHELLE FOR THE WIN!!!
