THEYRE SO SWEET AND NICE AND-
Like, I’m not used to seeing such progressive talk in any media, let alone Japanese manga (which I’ve always just told myself ‘it’s whatever, they have a different culture of course they’re not going to exactly recognize all of LGBT+’ blah blah) but this manga successfully does something that global media has failed to do for so long; and that’s simple acknowledgement.
Maybe it’s the bare minimum and I’m just getting excited but they even talked about DEMISEXUALITY AND DEMIROMANTICS AND AND !!!!!!!
in the review for the previous volume i was keeping my guard on a little bit because i thought it might cross into BL fetishization but the manga acknowledges it and (in my opinion) by doing that also said ‘this isn’t what we’re trying to do here’
Just one chapter from this manga made me feel so much, they’re just so sweet it’s so comforting it’s insane.
Can’t wait for other volumes!!!
