everyone wants toxic yuri except when the yuri is actually toxic... i see you my toxic yuri enjoyers in the comments...
love the central asian-inspired clothing, jewellery, and setting. the art is phenomenal. however, for the story it wants to tell about immortals and living, i do wish the pacing is slowed down a bit
despite the fact that kunon's outward personality (aka the principles he chooses to live by of being a gentlemen as opposed to his innate passion for magic) where he flirts with every woman, this is the most normal a manga like this has been about women. there is not a single character lusting after this 12 year old even when he flirts with them they just go "this kid is so weird". there is a trans character whose identity is explicitly discussed and kunon fixes his mistake and completely respects her as a woman. there is no one dimensional villain, every 'antagonist' goes through character development. no harem or hint of harem which i cannot stress how unusual it is for manga of this genre. i love it.
traumatised characters who do bad things and lash out at the world song of the summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
elitism and classism presented as BadAss GirlBoss TakeDown.
body horror + sidewound pussy + framing the removal of adam's rib to form eve as a sexual violation wherein god put his finger inside of adam and took something that can never be returned? it's like this was made for me.
anyways. fucked up stuff forever and ever just for me please ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
i would love to see it more freaky tbh. and also for the mc to dominate for real and not just like sometimes (hoping for character dev maybe? but the mc isn't completely into it he is just being the dom for his partner which is valid) like i know it's yaoi conventions that uke=sub and seme=dom but i don't like that mc keeps letting ml get away with stuff. PUT THAT SUB IN HIS PLACE!!! (his place being bent over your knees ready to get spanked for disobeying a dom's commands)
fiona is my favourite character i love fucked up women. i know she said she hated leti but i think she also loved her in her own twisted and fucked up way.
