I’m going to puke these last couple of chapters have felt so dreadful. Like it’s wild how many little happy things have happened but none of them have done anything about the amount of dread I feel. Theo fucked up, we get it. He’s done terrible things. Jesus Christ this is a painful redemption arc for him.

Two months to lose that amount of weight can’t be healthy. I wish these comic took a more realistic approach. He did Judo in the past so it would have made sense for him to be a bit more bulky. He also could have still been chubby but with soft muscles and a smaller stomach. I get that this artist isn’t known for those types of bodies but at the same time they could have easily made him just a bit overweight at the start.
As a side note I do love how Yuzu never specifically said he wanted him to lose weight in order to be a “hot guy” and was instead focused on how to up his sex appeal via clothes. Really sweet guy. Him squeezing his tummy and getting all happy about it was nice.
Looks interesting enough, hope it doesn’t get too bogged down with “lore” related nonsense
u mean plot??
Plot ≠ Lore
And I specifically mean “lore” (air quotes). Comics like this that try to establish a new world often just lore dump instead of using the story to slowly expand on the world. The first chapter of this spent a long time setting up the world instead of the characters which is why it feels so weird when he suddenly starts sexualizing his captor. The memories of his sexual escapades feel out of place and don’t really explain who he is as a character.
Readers should be able to figure things out without the story just telling us everything (although comments these days make me wonder if they can).
