Can mangakas stop making the female characters so useless? Like only 3 girls are able to protect themselves. Aoi's defenselessness makes no sense either. If she was kidnapped or went missing at 14 wouldn't she have made it her priority to be able to defend herself???? Like its degrading. I don't think its too much to ask to have some of the female cast being proactive in saving themselves.
Take for example the girl Tachibana is protecting, in the flashback she sees the opposing team members surround Tachibana in the bathroom, instead of getting help, she storms in there and offers herself up in exchange for Tachibana's safety!? What!???
The guys are problematic too. Except for like Tachibana and Eiji, most of them are impulsive and don't think. How does it make sense to charge into a stronghold made up of 100s of people with no plan???? It'd be nice for the characters to think for once.
A simple and effective plan would tp set that entire village and forest ablaze and within the chaos rescue their classmates and other friends. Take the clothing of the islanders that ambushed them before to blend in and continue the plan. Its only the strong vs. the weak because of how simple-minded the islanders are, but the tides can turn int the favor of the survivors if they use their heads.
Found a plantation??? Destroy it. See the main water supply, poison it with the decaying bodies they found in the cave. A storehouse for food? Burn it to the ground. Remember that the island doesn't have doctors, use that information to your advantage!?? Get weapons and soak them in the blood of the dead bodies they found in that cave. I was honestly in awe(in a bad way) how not a single person thought to arm themselves with any makeshift weapon they could find on the ship once they figured out the islanders were hostile.
Like a lot of shit that's happening in the manga is for literal shock value. When the blond kid was fighting the dude that tried to rape and ended killing his friend, I didn't understand why he didn't kick him in the dick, stomp on it, then on his head!? His dick was out like a literal target and never aimed for it!? Tachibana was actually killing them, which is basically why he's one of the few characters names I remember.
Honestly, the kids need to start taking the weapons and the hides of the islanders they kill. And the girls need clothes. Why are they (the ones not captured) walking around with so little clothing while the boys are all dressed? Again, take the clothes for dead, wash em, and use them. This is getting ridiculous.
Honestly this is really well put, i totally agree, its always damsel in distress and its getting kinda old
Agreed 100%. I find it lazy writing to make the characters weak when they shouldn't be instead of just upping the obstacles in their path. This manga is totally about shock which has its merit, and the art is good, but the views expressed in this series whether they are intentional or how the writer sees the world, are not my taste
FUCK FINALLY SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS! If the girls dont have the muscle to do something, like god damn they need to use their brains to survive not stand there and act all sexual and pretty.
This story was amazing. It was short but had such an effective plot where only a few things that you could guess if you were paying attention. I read this in one sitting so there was no need for me to theorize, but as I said the plot is very effective. Nothing seems forced in, all the characters are enjoyable and well written. The secondary plots don't overtake the main story. The romantic relationships don't take up the main story either which I think takes great attention to detail. The adventures the characters go on are fun and the planets they go are truly unique. The story is nothing short of incredible.
Not to sure with the recurring theme of rape to love that seems so typical in yaoi, they should honestly stop with that. (that's beside the point tho)
Aki is the only redeeming character in this story tho. He minded his own business lived his truth, and his trash ass friend went and got him bullied to the point he developed a communication disorder. Said friend had the audacity to admit to Yoshida that he felt guilty about his actions but seconds before that he's calling Aki and harassing him?? Make it make sense.
Yoshida isn't even a good character either. He has sex with everyone that's will (that's the only good thing about him) and then forces himself on Aki because he thought he'd be interesting to play with, and uses the fact that Aki is gay,information he knows that Aki is terrified with people knowing because of the bullying he endured in middle school and forces Aki into a sexual relationship. He only finds out he 'loves' Aki when Hayato (the trash friend) tells him to stop playing with Aki's feelings because Aki was most likely in love with Yoshida. (Like this 2 faced fool)
I was uncomfortable with Aki falling in love with Yoshida because their relationship was built on rape and coercion, but I understood that all he wanted was someone to love him and to love someone back without judgment. I only wish that Aki has a better love interest because Yoshida was mad problematic.
Looks like wattpad fan fics and kdrama writing came together and made this tomfoolery.
I don't understand the fascination with harems, it always makes the story feel cheap. There is not a problem with the MC being surrounded by girls if only one was a love interest and the rest were his actual friends. But almost all the time I see a harem, the girls all manage to have feelings for the MC and that becomes their entire personality. Why?
Sure Aria ended up with the Hero instead of him, but that shouldn't have broken him to the point that he felt the need to go on a journey. Its okay for him to be hurt, but after reading the flashback, my reaction was "That's it?". Why did the goddess give him her blessing, it's not like something tragic happened to him. If he went on a journey to find a true friend instead of to build a harem it'd be better.
"Its every man's dream to have a harem." Really? There's nothing wrong with a poly relationship but again, why does the mangaka think this is the solution to Wazu's problem of feeling lonely? Again, could've been better. Also not a fan of the trope where the girl instantly falls in love with the guy that saves her. Not realistic and makes her one dimensional.
I think most people have trouble with one partner so having multiple would be a nightmare.
Workplace sexual harassment. Sis just sue and get your coins.
And with all that money she can buy herself a house instead of renting an apartment (●￣(ｴ)￣●)
But Minoru shouldn't have died since he sold the death note before the rule was added
