people can still dislike a character regardless of anything. Hikaru does things that are questionable and weird but it’s also a huge part of the story but i totally agree with everything else
i’m addressing people who ‘dislike’ a character so much that they disregard and misunderstand the contribution that the character has to the story, so much so they wish death on a fictional being whose role is the main experience in the manga. disliking a character is totally fine for sure! its just baffling seeing team get rid of ‘hikaru’ and then they proceed to mischaracterize his entire point of existence.
i see it as a good thing though this is a horror psychological anime so your supposed to feel the hate and disgust of a character to me it means the author did a good job on his character if people hate him that bad
oo, this is a very nice perspective! because ‘hikaru’ is a being who represents the things we normally don’t have our morals align to — we naturally tend to feel uneasy or disgusted by their character because how different they are.. thank you for this input ~
it is genuinely baffling that people can’t grip that ‘hikaru’ is an entirely different being, he has the instincts of what he originally was. he doesn’t realize the weight of ‘human’ morals and acts on his impulsivity and the behaviors he’s done before taking on a human body. he’s a fake in an entirely different world with species whose perspective on life is far different than how he’s always processed the meaning of life. remember it is a fictional manga, ‘hikaru’ and yoshiki are the experience. kindly read something else if you can not comprehend his importance to this psychological horror with queer representation. it is hard reading many people going insane about wanting a main fictional character gone while also lacking the intelligence to understand the story and what it is conveying to the readers.
