kay, so we’ve got racism, awkward tropes, and the classic ‘broke main character becomes a sex worker .’ Seriously, Japan, are there no part-time gigs? The guy could’ve Airbnb’d his place or something, come on!
Then, the protagonist assaults Blondie in his sleep and is surprised when Blondie cries??
Lastly, the portrayal of the black character and the mentioning of a gang raises concerns about racial stereotypes perpetuated by the artist. The story lacks originality and seems oddly problematic.
