@dokidoki As far as I know, this is mostly a title about "strong emotional bonds", not romance in any form. However, perhaps the author changed something when it began to spread independently.
Someone would use an invisible loser husband as a self-instert here? Even Misora's pseudo-heterosexual poses in Hagure were a more logical source for this, lol.
Also, it seems to me, or are bishonens always assholes in the Rui manga?
@ciaohuahua Your commentary has such doses of slang that the translator could only translate "lesbians" and "we". But just in case, I'll say no, Kuromu's sexuality hasn't been confirmed in any way up to this point.
@BizarreShit This is bad because it is literally a universal answer that can...
@BizarreShit It's okay for demons to be arrogant bastards too, but why, when Azz-Azz behaved this way towards Iruma, he get an arc of redemption and personal development? Or when Iruma made Ameri more sympathetic to humans by studying shoujo manga together? With this logic, any toxic behavior in...
@Drakan In that case it will be endless unless one of the parties gets tired of it or the Mangadex guys crusade these assholes lol. But ironically, it reminded me of the Russian 90s, when pirates faked pirates.
@urtoast I understand that this manga has always made fun of toxic people, but I could not help but notice that the author loves to make sad jokes about pure characters like Medusa or Pecora, especially in those moments when they realize that their friends are assholes, but they cannot doesn't...
@parkourse These things started somewhere with Kannazuki no Miko in the 00s, where the author was forced to literally portray the male character as a saint in order to keep the audience tolerant of him, while the female was literally forgiven for . Imagine a situation where a female character...
@parkourse No, seriously, more critically? People have always perceived straight relationships as something more serious and important, so straight relationships have always received more criticism. Which, of course, is pretty homophobic. To do this, it is enough to compare what rating straight...
@immy Huh, it's quite the opposite. People take straight relationships as seriously as possible from all sides, while gay characters and plots almost always have "yuri is hot" armor. The boundaries for fictional queer relationships and ships are so low that even outright toxic and abusive...
@Rias_Gremorys_Husband I think that the problem is not so much that her whole personality is literally the archetype of "arrogant butch lesbian", but that the arc does not affect it at all and does not give her any development. Even hinting that even after losing, she still has some chance, as...
@thegoatrider To begin with, Iruma essentially only has two love interests. Second, what kind of relationship, lol? People draw too far-reaching conclusions from a minimum of information.
@Sumgui Is it gayest? Seriously? Is this the first yuri bait you've seen in the manga? Seriously, read about any friendly conflict in some Shonen Jump manga.
@Chrona This does not work with lesbians, especially in Japan, where lesbian relationships are viewed as chaste and hot at the same time. This is one of the main reasons why many all-female franchises are not afraid to combine yuri bait and waifu material with always single characters. Some...
@yaszassu Well, in my experience, the Japanese somehow think it's okay for butch lesbians to be the toxic female version of "bastard boyfriend". If Gyari were male, she would most likely receive harsh condemnation throughout the arc. But since she's a tachi, being rude is part of the type.
