I do admire how purely evil she is and how she never rest. One side we have the queen suffering all day and a king's that can't even push out a random girl out of his laps because of how weak willed he is. On the other side we have that pure evil person that perfectly know's what, why and how's she'll do her plan to get what she want. And she grabs it. I wish the queen would just get over her exhaustion. We started with a ''I will not lose'' to a ''maybe the king isn't so pitiful'' while softening up.
Poor girl. I mean she didn't drug the dude and jumped on him. HE approached her. HE took the initiative. HE hurt her. If it wasn't her. It would have been another women. Those men's are the one that's awfull. Nobody just openly walk out and say ''hmm I feel like destroying a random relationship today just because.''.
I kinda wish she could go for the tactician dude for once and not the pre-teen incel emo wannabe type. He's nice. Got a cool job. Easy to communicate. Respect her and he looks like an actual adult. >_>
Again, "asexual" in japan is aroace, alloace people are "nonsexual". It's two different words and they don't use the split attraction model like Western queer community do, so there isn't any overlap. Aroace people cannot fall in love.
If Kiryuu was able to experience romantic feelings, I honestly think she would know by now, and her friend also tells her that she might be "asexual/aroace".
Also it isn't only japan who associates romance with sex, it's literally every culture in the world.
I don't think you get my point.
If Japan thinks that being asexual makes you automatically aro that doesn´t remove the fact that there are asexuals who aren´t aro, it is simply a wrong idea not to say that they are excluding the idea that romance and sex don´t go hand in hand, perhaps the author wants to teach japanese readers that there are many types of specters and sexualities.
And it seemed to me that the protagonist is only talking about experience, perhaps she changes her mind or perhaps it turns out that she is demisexual (which is also an asexual sexuality), and since she hadn´t fallen in love before, she didn´t know.
PS: In my opinion, this sexuality isn´t something that you decide once and cannot change again in your life, rather it is a process of self-discovery while you grow up, and you can surprise yourself (In the same way that something that you liked when you were young and you don't like when you are older and vice versa).
In these things you have to be flexible and not too hard on yourself.
I don't think you understand me either. What I'm saying is that JAPANESE AND WESTERN LGBT CULTURE DONT USE THE SAME TERMINOLOGY. The Japanese equivalent of asexuals who aren't aro are NONSEXUALS (非性愛), which is different from the Japanese term ASEXUAL (無性愛) which ONLY refers to aroace people. UNLIKE WESTERN CULTURE WHERE BOTH ORIENTATIONS GO UNDER 'ASEXUAL', THEY DO NOT OVERLAP IN JAPANESE CULTURE.
I know that sexuality is fluid, but it is not fluid for everyone and can send harmful messages when portraying the idea of fluidity. Imagine writing a lesbian protagonist and she ends up with a man in the end. She could be discover she's bi, but it honestly really reeks of erasure and sends the idea that being a same-sex attraction is a 'phase'. Same applies to asexuality.
I truly hope this is not gonna happen. I also like that she’s self reflected and still self reflecting without just continually being ‚swept away‘ by the, uh how to say, typical romance plot of general manga? AND what sells it for me is that she’s really missing those ‚cues‘ because she’s plainly just not feeling the / thinking about/ in sexual innuendo some of her actions have or others might have towards her (which also makes her suspicious of others intentions and put her a bit on edge) the manga is really interesting and absolutely refreshing.
Beside the not so impressive face of the king (I guess people that likes when a 27 years old dude look like a 15 years old pre-puberty teen its fine for them) Its actually funny to check all the reference the author took some. Its sad she didn't take toothless with her in the castle of the Lady of the lake. They would have had fun with Lancelot.
I agree he looks younger than he is, but he's not 27 he's 22. Since he was 15 when they both met and 7 years have passed, 15+7=22. Just to let you know ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~
He’s 22 lmao
Yup and also the only thing that makes me so mad is even though he’s 22 why does he lookYounger on his face when he did when he was younger like 15 why do you look like that it looks stupid I don’t like it give him some jawline but he still cute as fuck though
Right lmao new other of their faces changed, but they still look amazing
