I can say the artists are improving a tiny bit more because we actually have dark skin characters who are dark skin instead of a light tan
It's also when the female lead is this tiny pale blonde hair character and all the other women in the story is tanned I have to hear about how petite and how pale she is and she's so pretty and I don't know why that makes me feel uncomfortable
I get that 100%
There is a manga that's set in a where you look like the god that you were blessed by and the girl had black hair and dark skin not to mention she was blessed by darkness while the other girl who's blessed by light was blonde and blue-eyed and pale and they hated the darker one but by the end of the story the one blessed by darkness became pale because the goddess of light also decided to bless her
that one felt racially motivated
Because we will get a tan the male lead but never attend female lead and if we got it we would probably have to hear the word barbarian every chapter
