Wasn't that basically implied by the King of Despair in the finale of the anime original plot in season 1 of the anime?

And she also loved her dog, which the story was also pretty clear about, hence her subsequent actions to prevent her dog from being put down by authorities. And she wasn't nonchalant in her attitude when she first encountered her father's corpse, she was in shock.

Especially with author comment from Paru Itagaki at the end of this debut chapter. And the cover art with the handcuffs acting as a collar is definitely kinky imagery.

Should be fixed now.

No, both of those tropes include examples of shirtless male characters in non-sexualized situations and/or said male characters aren't framed as "super attractive". Anyways, I would like to hear your examples of instances where a female character in Japanese media becomes flustered by a male...

You can take a look at the various entries for non-Anime/Manga media for these tropes https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PleasePutSomeClothesOn https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShirtlessScene Plenty of them involve shirtless guys who aren't framed as being some sort of...

That's not what "enemy" implies in the original quote, which Thors defines as someone you want to/need to/are supposed to/will hurt. Someone with so much hubris that they see everyone beneath them is definitely a kind of person who is perfectly willing to hurt other people, that person wouldn't...

It happens in Western media even when the male character isn't built like Dwayne Johnson, characters be attracted to other characters even they are built normally, like prudishness is not exclusive to non-Western cultures.

I did not specify that the men had to be handsome though. And female characters in Japanese media who react flustered to men undressing and getting shirtless are usually doing so because there's typically an element of attraction involved between the characters (regardless of how handsome the...

Yes, media having female characters get characters flustered by undressing topless male characters isn't uniquely Japanese. While yes it's shitposters/trolls doing their shtick, the whole story-line with Maru and Kiruko has actually only been about a month and a half so far. The first chapters...

This isn't a instance of that though, this is a case where one character thinks another character is coming on to them. And regardless women simply getting flustered by a man getting undressed and shirtless isn't particularly unique to Japanese media either. Why would they? Kiruko is a normal...

Yes, I have seen that kind of stuff in plenty of media from non-Japanese countries. Someone getting embarrassed and flustered at another person undressing because they think said person is coming on to them isn't an unusual sight in many works of fiction in general.

Well your original comment seemed to be implying that it was something unique to Japanese media. Which I am arguing that it isn't.

It's hardly unique to Japanese media, getting embarrassed and flustered by a guy coming on to you and taking their top off is a common trope in plenty of non-Japanese media.

No, Kiruko is not pregnant, Ishiguro literally confirmed on his Twitter that Kiruko had their period when they left the Ministry of Reconstruction in Nara with his own in-universe calendar. https://x.com/masakazuishi/status/1713242006355665083 I don't think being Japanese has anything to do...

The island they are on is located in modern day Canada, not the USA. The short-term plan is still likely for the Nords to evacuate and leave Prince Edward Island/Epekwitk and return to Greenland and Iceland, the long-term "thousand year voyage" is likely something that will be more of a...

Only the first source refers to violence/abuse committed by a female partner towards another female partner, and the range is 17%-45%, the lower range being less and the upper range being greater, than the statistical rate of domestic violence that heterosexual women report. What the wikipedia...

I mean that's almost certainly an intentional explored theme and concept of the story, i.e. Thors and Thorfinn being "true warriors" and/or "a true warrior needs no sword", that a truly strong and great warrior is one who is a capable of not having to kill/inflict egregious violence. Part of why...

I mean the women and children have already been evacuated, and I doubt the Lnu warriors would have that much interest in continuing to pursue them. So I think total extermination is already off the table. Anyways, we already have real life history to tell us the overall fate, which is that the...

Iceland isn't so low on food productivity that it wouldn't be able to handle the return of less total people than who originally left Iceland only a year or two ago. While returning and readjustment certainly wouldn't be a comfortable or easy process, none of the Norse settlers' very survival...
