Exactily!!

You explained it so well!! I hate the ml but I can also understand him. All the characters are well written so far they have their emotions and reasons in their actions which makes them feel real and human.

hmmm facts no cap

It might not be great. But it makes you laugh depending on your sense of humor. It is mostly a dramatic story with a bad & good relationship.

By the way I am amaze as to your review. You took your time to write it and it is really well written. I appreciate the review.

Spill the truth, bruh. Every one of these characters are idiots, even Stefan is getting a little bit of that dumb character vibes. But? I love the people standing up for Char after she let her shit brother near her best friend and her Kuwabara-looking cousin to treat him like shit too. This comic is painfully bad.

Thank you, I don't get what's so great about Char. Yeah, she SAYS nice things, but it's all talk and no action. She relies on him and takes from him but doesn't seem to give much back. Friendship is give and take. I end up with this weird feeling that she's just taking advantage of him

agree 100% but i always keep reading these stories because i actually get invested

i completely agree, i’ve read the novel and some of the same issues remain but it covers the explanations and character development problems you pointed out much better than this adaptation. Since i read the novel right after reading the first few chapters, i just ignored some of the changes and holes that weren’t in the novel because I already know what happens and why, so it was easy to gloss over the things you covered. i still enjoy the comic a lot but yeah

yeah, well it's okay for fictional story, the thing that dont make sense is.. well, fictional. but if it's a real life event, it would be toxic especially for stefan skskskksks

I don't think reviving the characters is 100% bad but the worst part is the newer characters since they don't fit into the theme of the story and are very generic or downright cringe(looking at you Mizuha )
also the introduction of those characters made the revived characters get sidelined
also all the conflicts are cringe especially that pedo brother
even the main character of this arc is cringe aka Mizuha who killed her non abusive mother for shit and giggles (yes people can be upset when they are stressed but under no circumstance should they kill their relatives or friends)

I was thinking the same thing. I liked how it was going, the way march sat by fushi's leg as he spread his roots all over earth and when 'peace' was finally established. The school arc really kinda ruined it for me too.

can't sexuality be fluid though? i don't disagree with your other statements, and narratives that say "i'm not gay but..." are troubling, but sexuality is definitely something that can change over time (for some). it's not discovering what your "true" or "real" orientation is, it just can shift more to one side or the other. sexual fluidity does tend to be more common in biological women as well.
i just feel that the whole thing about liking someone because they're that person isn't such a bad thing to say :)

You are right regarding that sexuality can be fluid but thats really only true regarding those who like multiple genders. What makes it an issue is for those who are strictly homosexual and how this narrative can be used to say its a choice. When the LGBT community has been fighting so long about how they can't change how they were born it can actually harm the agenda which is why it bothers me so much. And on the other point I agree with its not wrong to like someone because they're who they are but for the most part this trope is used to condemn homosexuals. "I'm not gay but I like you" really undermines what its like to be LGBT and leans more fetishy to me. What they could've done instead that included a similar message is by stating how the character is either on the bi spectrum or how "out of everyone in the world i chose to be with you" signaling how they either already have that preference or how they came to know about there preference through that person. Again the work feels like I'm looking through rose colored glasses on the characters which when depicting someone who is LGBT and does have to struggle to find out who they are it can be troubling.

the actual translated title is "my girlfriend is a boy" wich refers to the way japanese society perceives their relationship in a wrong way

Right Rita would look better if he just had his hair down like before but I mean Marie idk I think the hairstyle suites him since I didn’t see him with any other one

all I can see are those early 2000 emo kids with hair that doubles the size of their head

Lol

I like their hairstyle x) It's make them cute lol

but the hairstyle does make them a lil cute I. It’s on way

There’s a big difference. Naruto is set in a fictional country with a fictional culture, anything goes. Ennead is set in an existing mythology believed by an existing culture in an existing country. Yes the author can do what they want, but people are also allowed to criticise their choices, their ignorance, and their inaccuracy.

egyptian people had very diverse skin colors.

Okay then what about bleach? Main boy has orange hair. It literally doesnt matter what show you point out I mean look back at ramna 1/2 the chinese girl has purple hair. I get what you mean but there are plenty of examples of this being done elsewhere. And just like the other comment said the diversity in Egypt is amazing even back in the day where this story would have taken place. And egypt considers itself a middle eastern country which middle eastern people have such diverse skin color from dark to the palest of pale. You can 100% disagree with me and the way the comic presents itself but on the other hand I can do the same and defend its artist right of creative freedom.

Except Bleach and Ranma BOTH do not use an existing mythology from an existing culture believed again by an existing group of people? Soul Society is made up, the ponds that change people in Ranma is made up, and Ichigo’s hair is already pointed out as strange in-canon already.

I’m saying that this work wants to use an existing mythology, and by the way that the writing is going, it wants to be taken seriously. In that case, I will also criticize it seriously, and question its accuracy. Egypt is located in BOTH North Africa and in the Middle East, I question why then would a main character be so Caucasian-coded and NOT be of either descent instead (because yes there are fair skinned middle eastern men, but you can STILL tell a grown man from the middle east apart from a grown man from Europe). Why then would the Caucasian-coded man be the protagonist, and why was every single man who raped them in this series a big brown man. Sure an author can exercise their creative freedom, but I will criticize how they used their creative freedom to once again enforces the stereotype that big brown men are always aggressive, and that light-skinned people are in danger from them.

You do remember that our "caucasian" lead murders a bunch of people and assaulted another lead of brown skin color? He keeps the mother of his child locked up? Besides the one interaction, the main person who assaults the main guy has green skin. No one is a good guy in the story, everyone is fucked up.
Also they dont clearly look white, I cant believe you cant this through your head. If anything they look more Asian because this was made by someone asian. And if you wanna debate and this shit more just look up pictures of what tutankhamun would look like today or reference pictures of pale middle eastern because honestly I cant tell the difference between them and white people. It really ain't that different. Fyi the main dude has BLOOD RED HAIR and EYES! no one has that color naturally. He ain't white, it's just a style choice.

If this wasn’t a serious series talking about serious topics I wouldn’t give a fuck. But it is so I’ll point out its inaccuracies as loud as I want. You read him as Asian, I read him as Caucasian, but the point is he’s still inaccurate because either of those characteristics would be extremely rare for the region.

And don’t you think that Middle Eastern and North African people want to see a complicated morally gray protagonist that does bad things but can still be sympathetic because of the suffering they’ve endured in a story? This setting gave the author a chance to make a complicated story for someone that wasn’t light skinned for once, it would be INCREDIBLY easy too — they had enough sense to make other characters poc. But instead they specifically chose to make their morally-grey, complicated main character as a light-skinned dude, who gets raped by the big poc dudes to garner the fandom’s sympathy.

In so tired of this back in forth this shit is so stupid. Go argue with someone else about the skin color of a FICTIONAL CHARACTER who is a GOD of a dead religion. Also just because it's rare doesnt mean it isn't true. Look it up white people and asian folk have been in Egypt for a very long time. And if you're this upset about a book you need to reevaluate some things ok? It really ain't this serious no ones looking for representation in yaoi

A lot of yaoi don't take itself seriously, and usually that's the norm! But clearly this isn't one of those kinds of yaoi -- this one wants to be gritty, real, and raw, and has a very serious plot with complicated characters. So I will give it the respect it deserves as a written work, in that I give it kudos for writing things outside of most people's comfort zones and making interesting characters that I want to learn more about, but I will also criticize it accordingly because it wants to be taken seriously.

Seth is also the god of "FOREIGNERS", people... Look him up and you'll see it makes sense for him to look foreign!

i think you’re forgetting that every country has a different age for consent. japan has one of the lowest consent ages being 13 but apparently 18 is the maximum. it really depends but in this case i think the student isn’t considered a minor

while that's true that the age of consent is different depending on which country I was mostly referring to if it happened in the US.

Dude I’m in shock!!! This explains soooo much!!! Now I know why there is so much kiddie stuff.. woooow is from NZ legal age is 16 here lmao but woooooooooow 13!? Really???

Oof *im from NZ. Not * wooow is from NZ lmao

the age of consent is 18 in japan. The federal law says 13, but all prefectures independently set their own age of consent as 18.

no no no. Adults cannot have sex with 13 year olds in japan. The federal gov set the age as 13, but all prefectures chose it to be 16-18. The same age of consent for countries such as England, NZ, and the U.S. Japan also doesn’t have any Romeo and Juliet laws.

So over all the legal age is 13 but each part of japan has set their own laws for legal age? Sorry I’m from a small country so one law fits all kinda thing I feel stupid asf rn lmao

no you’re not stupid, these laws would be very confusing if you’re used to only having federal law. Having different laws only makes sense to me bc i live in the US. We have different ages of consent here too. Japan uses very ambiguous words in their laws though. Sometimes teens can be arrested for being together, sometimes they can’t. I don’t get it, but i just know it’s illegal to have sex with someone below the age of 18 if you’re over 20.

Fuck that sounds like a headache i can’t imagine living one way then moving to another town and being arrested for something we’ve always done lmfao (I say town because we don’t have states/provinces) I can barely remember most of our laws nm having to remember what state allows what shit is crazy

haha yeah i guess so ╮(￣▽￣)╭. some laws even differ from county to county, but judges and police are usually more lenient to ppl that aren’t familiar with the law. Especially in small towns and stuff

Did you skip any chapters, cause I am confused right now on the "but once that part of the story is over when the mc isn't sure which girl he likes more the story kinda just moves past that and sweeps it under the rug? then it tries introducing us to another mystery girlfriend and i literally rolled my eyes. "?

O believe I was referring to the part where the main guy is talking to his classmate with the big glasses and she refers to his old girlfriend which ended up being the main female character. It was after he was already thinking that the other girl and him might've dated before he had amnesia.

That's japan for you XD. Not like this is the first times they do something of this kind.
