Nettle want to read (All 180)
beta
Ouch that looks like it hurt…. What’s the bet it magically gets it back!? They’re not even taking a grievous injury seriously at all so I have no suspense about it being permanent
I don’t remember the name but I have screenshots from the series and I just wanna reread it. It’s a Manga rather than a manhwa /manhua. From what I remember it’s about an s rank mage becoming a teacher as a favour and he doesn’t tell the class his true identity. The mc was a man with close cropped hair and a pirate-y looking jacket. The only screenshot I have with a character name is the mc addressing a girl with pigtails as ‘Akris’
If anyone recognises the series I would be very grateful

This? Just search up akris on Google and this one poof
Ohh I love this one , I guess this is my sign to reread it (◍•ᴗ•◍)
It was that! Thank you’
It was about a pair of guys who were in a jazz group. I think they were also a switch couple but usually the darker haired one bottomed. Pretty sure the dark haired one played saxophone
Nvm I found it it was Iki Dekinai no wa kimi no sei
I love this series. But. This new arc is already giving me bad vibes. Why is it pitting marginalised communities against each other. Why is the girl wearing a dreads wig. I cannot for the life of me imagine the rap as being good (although that might be it translating poorly). It’s kinda reading as racist against the black community so far, although I don’t think it was intentional #－.－)
Having said that I’m not Asian, American or black so I may be reading this wrong culturally ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I’m black, that loc wig made me giggle daguq is this shit, they’re trying to do an 8 mile but I’m not feeling her yet. Also the spirit being Tupac is crazy.
Definitely not liking the depiction of rap fans but I’m gonna keep reading and see where it goes
It’s most likely because we (international) were not the target audience to begin with. It feels like it’s written by Korean for Koreans who’ve barely interacted with anyone who isn’t Korean, so nobody but those who are multiculturally aware or are actually a part of said culture will point shit out. From how the comic is written, the author probably didn’t do the proper research of the complexities of the rap scene when it comes to the involvement of non black/brown people participating in the rap scene. Like even watching 8 mile would’ve been a good way to learn (but I bet the author never watched 8 mile lol). I’m saying this because I’m East Asian myself that has lived in both eastern and western societies with friends of other ethnicities, and honestly it’s really not that hard to ask, learn, and do research with how the internet is nowadays. We are all reading this illegally anyways so the author will just remain blissfully unaware of our opinions lmao.
But it is pretty interesting to see how Korean comics depict other countries, because you can definitely start to tell whether the author did their due diligence on the research aspect.
