when i saw carmilla and asian heritage, i was not expecting this, and i wish it were more fleshed out. i could tell from the very beginning the “plot twist” (if you could even call it that), and other than the art style, i find that this story went by way too fast. regardless of how queer it is, that doesn’t account for how dull the progression and pacing is. also, i HATED the cheating plot like why did we have to make this a thing?!
