I objectively really really like this story and couple, and recommend a 100% to read it!
But on a more serious note, the black erasure is disappointing. The author did some research on the maasai tribe, but couldn't bother to keep any black features except the skin color. Blue eyes, straight nose and straight hair, what kind of maasai is that? Even if the hair resembles dreads sometimes, it's still not textured hair. If he in turn did have those black features, he wouldn't be as attractive to a lot of people, which is tied to our worlds racist roots and white beauty standards. Every damn time there's black ppl as main characters in bl manga, they've got to have blue eyes or white/blond STRAIGHT hair to still fit to the beauty standard. I wish it changes soon.
Many stereotypes were adressed, so it's even more disappointing cause it otherwise is so good BUT, i'm still happy any factual talk of the tribe was included and i saw a black person in a manga, even if not represented that well. The bar isn't even on ground level srsly.....
