There's this BL where the MC who's also the seme attracted to uke because uke has a beautiful neck, he confessed he likes uke and uke accepted. Uke knew seme's preference over neck but over the time he worries seme would no longer like him if he grows out of it (they are teenager or early 20s). I forgot the name and lost it, any clue?
This one maybe? (first story) https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/saiaku_no_jinsei/
It's crazy how the concept or orientalism is also haunting a work created in Asia regarding another Asian country, LMAO. (I was talking about how Japan was depicted here, by Korean author). Like, it's 2026, and you couldn't imagine someone from Japan wearing modern clothes?? LOL.
I believe this is done on purpose? Since his character is described as being very much into that aesthetic. Though I am confused as to why he has a manticote already, since he thirsts after Peace so MUCH. I guess we'll see!
japan is like the russia in american movies for korean webtoons. theyd depict them as stereotypical and evil as they can lol
For good reason to be fair
Who's "he"? My bad for not precisely explaining.
Because I was talking about the entire Japanese Hunter they showed. I did not talk about specific attitude of character towards another, it's the treatment this whole series gave to another country besides Western. If you notice since the start they mentioned Japan's hunters community (mayber ch. 175(?)), they always stick to the idea of Japan = only Ninja and Samurai exist, as if Japan only stuck on that idea and era. Like, if Korean Hunter could be modern while have the ideas of their culture (Dokkaebi for example), why couldn't Japan? Or any other Asian country if they decided to add another.
You literally said "...someone from Japan wearing modern clothes..." So I assumed you meant the scenes with the japanese guild and it's members and leader wearing traditional clothing.
My point is, that's his thing. The character you see on the throne (?) is the leader, who is consumed by the aesthetics of tradition. In the novel, the characters even comment on it, saying it's deeply related to his own ego. Everyone else indulges him because he is the leader of the guild, and the strongest hunter in Japan. They even have more pull than the government.
It is my understanding, this is not orientalism, but the delusions of a particularly strong individual.
I mean, even in the Hong Kong arc, people are dressed in modern clothes, except MC, but that was to make him pretty, I suppose.
That said, even if it was, I think any media from Korea gets a pass
