Why

he's supposed to be black ?? they usually draw such good lucking tanned characters, heck they doin to black ones , thought he was that way cause he was sick ( rejection syndrom or whatever that dr was talking about)

So many cases like this happen... black characters somehow end up hella ashy, even if they're part of the main cast.
This one is straight up GREY, notice how everyone behave like it's normal?

Whether it’s in anime or in manga/wha/hua, most of these artists just can’t do black characters any justice. Whenever I c tanned characters with straight hair, I claim them as brown bcs at least then how they’re drawn makes more sense lmao

The fact that they can give brown ppl, Indian characters proper skintone but never black ppl is so baffling to me.
Like they come in many shades, BUT NEVER GREY so why tf they always end up ashy

I thought he was a ghost at first @.@

at first i assumed they wanted to give him a cool toned skin bcs he's ill and all but he genuinely is just gray. unless we see more darkskinned characters in the manhwa with proper skintones, bcs then him being gray was entirely a (kinda odd) stylistic choice. but if we dont see any then yeah... yikes

I don't know what ethnicity he is supposed to be but I do think he is grey because of the health issue. He's eating bugs and scratching himself and has dark circles around his eyes bro is clearly unwell. Doc clearly said he was gonna die if he didn't have medical attention soon

You don't turn grey just because you eat bugs. By your logic, what abt all the cultures where they also eat bugs?

I want you guys to learn to read please! PLEASE!

We did and no one addressed the skin being grey as a medical condition

THEY LITERALLY DID BRO OMG

I didn't mean he turned grey BECAUSE he ate bugs #－.－) it was just one example of his mental instability caused by the health issues. Scratching his skin also didn't turn it grey. These are all symptoms of the problem not necessarily things turning his grey. Idk dude im just saying based on context its more plausible to assume the reason he is grey is due to the health issues than designating the author as problematic by assuming they depict pwople of color as grey. I just don't think we have enough information yet but to each their own i guess believe what you want

Show me the panel where they talked abt being grey is a medical issue. They mostly explain the psychological issues like:
"Experience withdrawal symptoms or severe emotional instability"

Or you racist ass want to talk abt:
"The physical scars can be concealed to some extent w cosmetic surgery"
WHEN HE STILL HAS RED SCARS ON HIS NECK. EVEN IF HE DOES HOW COSMETIC SURGERY, WHY TF IS IT THE WHOLE BODY TURNING GREY

“Your racist ass” the same person who assumed that the character was BLACK because he’s grey??? I don’t even understand how where you got the inclination that he was black in the first place, but we do know from very obvious context that he’s mentally and physically ILL!!!! The doctor explains why he acts the he does, but the skin most likely has something to do with it.. like “he’s lost his color since he’s been abandoned”, not “OHHH HOW DARE THIS CHARACTER PORTRAY BLK PPL AS GREY” we know he’s not black are you fkin kidding me???

So you're unable to show any proper evidence. I had to phrased the exact words for you racist ass

they didn't though? they said he has 'emotional instability' and yes he is affected physically as well (though they never specified what exactly) but they never stated anything about it affecting his skintone. and even if he was meant to look 'pale' because of his illness it was poorly done because it shoudnt look THAT grey. we can acknowledge that it may have something to do with his illness and still understand that it was poorly done regardless because its so common in asian media for people to portray darkskinned characters as grey. And you're "But he's not black!" argument is stupid because regardless of his entnicity it still shouldn't be that gray! idk what you're trying to argue here?

Keep on calling me racist, it’s gonna make my dark skin turn white evennnb faster OH NOOOO. Fuck outta here weirdo, I’m not gonna buckle my knees 4 ppl who think grey skin = black skin. This isn’t even the type of grey ppl use to make it seem like they’re portraying blk people.

I don’t know what you cunts are arguing either because there was never a specification that he was black, but there was one singular thing: can you guess what it is?? That he’s fucking sick. Hello?? Do you guys read with bricks in your heads… :|

"Not even the type of grey ppl use to make it seem like they're portraying blk ppl" girl you r sick n denial af

And you a big dummy I’m not gonna keep arguing with a ho named Tina, esp on a yaoi/pirating site wtf
