is it just me or do the characters change hairstyles in almost every episode? Not that I mind lol, it's just a question
I really like the drawing, the undertones and the very soft colors of the pages are really magnificent! I really want Danwoo to end up with Woori though!! Not with the main guy.
wouuwhuu our queen jujucat is back!!!
i really love this story can't wait to see the end
HEY everyone! I do have a question about ai no kusabi : it's been many years since I watched and read the novels, but it's only now (since I recently rewatched the anime) I'm asking myself : why there is no women in this world or where are they lol? why there is so many men in the slurs and in the low city like ceres? is it because men control everything? does riki have parents, since we rarely see women?
and how the blondies are ...created? selected? (is there a school, are they genitically modified to be better human?)
there is many things that are weird and mysterious for me In Ai no Kusabi, But I REALLY love this anime and novel so I need answers!
i went back to look cause i realised i had no idea either the book has lots of stats about the sex ratio in ceres, that being 9:1, but nothing about why. id probably chalk it up to genetic alteration that reduces the chance of females after the creation of guardian, to prevent ceres from having a large population. although the ceres independence movement failed, should they have a freely growing population they could likely try again and that wouldn't benefit Jupiter.
in guardian only approved bloodlines can have children, all naturally born, as only midas citizens have the possibility of artificial wombs ("[Ceres] ought to be using artificial insemination. Men and women are born in Midas using artificial wombs, right?"). guardians main purpose is to control the population of ceres, and part of that is reducing the female population to prevent those living there from being able to have children.
and i went to look at what the wiki had to day and they said this "The number of blessed children whom women bore were limited in number for population control. The accursed law of Ceres said, "You don't have to kill what you never let live in the first place." (V4 p103)" which is like exactly what i had to say but more concise
idk if u want me to answer any of ur other questions if ur curious the wiki is really quite good if u wanna browse

The og novels explained the gender ratios, there are women in the rich areas but they just aren’t really talked about. Among the blondies the ai that controls the planet created them and didn’t want anything to taint the perfect beings it created, so there are no female blondies, and they are created sterile so they can’t breed with any female of any race. So that’s why there aren’t any women mentioned in relation to the blondies (there are a small few in the og novel).
As for the slums, Ceres, there’s a political reason that area became the slums (read the novel if ur interested). But the political system wanted to ensure that area didn’t grow or have any control of its population. So all children are born in a nice area, raised until a certain point, then the boys are sent out into the slums and the girls are kept and given a “good” life.
The world building in the og novels is really interesting, I wish there had been a little more focus on it. Particularly how Ceres became what it was, there where hints of interesting backstories all over the place that really didn’t get fleshed out.
Hello.
Would you mind to share the og novel links, please? I really love to know more details of the setting and story. (☆▽☆)
I think I've write this comment when there was only 12 or 15 chapters so Im reposting it :
gosh I've waited so long for this manwha to come -w- now I can die happy...
I'm sure/hope there will be a story between the coach jeon joseph and hwang yong-gu aka potato, because they're well drawn and sexy as F*ck, so I Hope something will happen between the two of them >u<, I think potato love jaekyung or something like this! I'm also really impatient to see Dan tell Jaekyung that he didn't chose to live in poverty and that he didn't had the choice, he's doing all of this to pay hospital's bills for his grandma, and I really Hope that there will be scene/chapters he's gonna get Bully/beat by the loan sharks and Jaekyung gonna go crazy and beat all of them because they dare to touch Dan.
And for those who put 1star I really don't Get you, do you know how mingwa create stories and how she develop characters ?? obviously you don't, she always shows the worst in them and then, make them realize theirs mistakes and wrong behaviors.
Some are Saying ''red flag, Jaekyung is an asshole, it's rape, he's violent, etc etc" but this is only the begining of the story, if you don't remember : Jiwon, from Bj alex, was the same type of guy at the begining of the manwha and nobody said anything about it, plus Dan agree to have sex/to make this deal with him, so this is not rape, he was not physically force to have sex with jaekyung, for those who are saying this is shitty, I really don't get you I absolutly adore mingwa manwha, style and characters, if you want to read some lovey dovey sweet and non violent manwha go ahead, but life is not all sweet and pinky, I don't romantize Jaekyung behaviors what he's doing to Dan is sometime nasty and not really kind, but he could do much worst things like beating or strangle him (I think that he's pretty nice in comparison with others manga/manhwa or hentai that I read -_-')
And if I was insulted like he was,in chapter 2, I would also had smash this Guy head in the wall!
Since the upload I think potato going to ends up with this Guy in chapter 29, woth pink hair. Ho and a funny fact: Dan is 29 so that's means is born in 1993 and jaekyung is 26 so he is born in 1996 lol (I just did 2022-their ages)
