taichi ㅠㅠㅠ he's still a gremlin child even as an adult lol
ao no flag is a really special manga to me, taichi is a really important character to me so being able to see and understand how kaito crafted the story, what he wanted to convey with it, and his thought process when doing so is amazing ㅠㅠ this really made the story even better for me.
i'm really grateful for the afterword but kaito why must u make me cry every time.
i agree w the saintess, ahuin is WEAK-willed, like the dude goes about how he doesnt like the saintess actions and how he loves noelle yet he still follows whatever order hes given, like i understand he technically cant refuse but if hes are really in disagreement he should be able to do something idk even if that something leads to dead, doesnt he have his own morals??
anyways i feel so bad for leticia rn, she really believes ditrian hates her:(
Bro, if he defies to the point of death then what about Noelle? She'd be dead too. THEN he'd be replaced by an even much worse guy(you'll see him soon, he's fucking disgusting) You say you understand he why can't refuse then why are you so confused? Ahuin's been with the saintess for a hella long time, you'd think it would be so easy, just like that? You saw that one panel with the saintess, what do you think was that supposed to symbolize? That was how much influence she has on Ahuin.
Just like HOW MUCH Noelle wanted to beat the shit out of the saintess because Leticia's been hurt again but controlled herself because Leticia ordered her not to. Or how Noelle immediately swore loyalty to Leticia AND the panel on Noelle's thoughts about loving Leticia and compared it to Ahuin's loyalty to Saintess. It's imbeded deeply into their instincts and souls.
And like what Noelle said, if Ahuin will know about Leticia, he'll be lured to their side too. Which

He will be, he's one of Leticia's first few wings.







i feel so sorry for both eris & helena, both of them are constantly forced to comply w things they're not comfortable with by men or other authority figures.
like, a lot of comments are hating on helena but she really has even less agency than eris, being a commoner and a palace maid. someone in the comments said they would have liked her to look ashamed of entering w the crown prince but we don't really know how she feels or what did he said to her to get to do that. so all in all she's also just a victim.
and even though eris can do more, she still has to follow the rules and expectations that society placed upon her.
honesty this is one of my favourite stories currently bc of how realistic it is in relation to how women were historical treated, even though it makes me feel hateful lol
it would be really nice if the others reading this could try to see things differently and not to pit the eris and helena against each other bc in reality the true villains are the crown prince, the empress and society itself
also, i know this is fiction but a lot of things seen in this can also be seen in real life so please try to be a little bit empathic towards the characters that clearly just victims
nah tea because i just got called a dumb bitch and was told to stop projecting when i talked about me relating to helena as an abuse victim and i just- *pikachuu surprise face*
oh no, i'm so sorry someone said that to you, ur definitely not any of that wtf.
also, yeah I just wish ppl could mince their words more and think about it a bit more critically,,,,, a bit of kindness and empathy never hurts anyone.
hope ur in a better place now<3
