IDK if I like this orientalist direction the manga has been on

Chihiro is way too precious man

Man I still can't get over how sweet Yamada is, the way she's always so thoughtful and caring for Kyo is pushing my diabetes into overdrive. 140+ chapters in and that stuff still doesn't get old

Ok but why does Amira have 3 hands on page 17?

Dude I'd kill for something like that, also for the thing that Amira and Karluk have

Wait, JORUK WAS A MAN???!!!

Women wouldn't be naked like this in a Persian bath, they'd still be covered. The only thing closest to this I could find was Post-Ataturk Turkish women in a bath which is what I guess Mori used as reference

The thing about them being half-naked in the bath isn't remotely true though

Public baths, yes. Public baths with bare chests and naked ladies, no. Unless there were individual and private baths, the women would be wearing clothes

Dude not again with this orientalist bullshit idea of women being bare chested and naked in a bathhouse. This is not how they work, not to mention that Mori has already said that this is for fanservice. Seriously dude, other cultures and their women are not something for you to gawk it. It's...

I think it was a mix of it all. His life, his family, his achievements, his Hajj, all of it set in stone. Tangible and touchable, there for all to see

I remember father telling me that it took my grandfather a year or so from when he left to come back from Hajj. It's a massive undertaking even now with all the comforts but I can't imagine the patience, commitment and faith one would need to complete Hajj. Mind you my grandfather went sometime...

Poly wouldn't fit in at all with the cultural dynamics of Persia or Islam but the author's not too shy about shoehorning yuri into the story regardless. There was even the whole thing with the nude ladies in the bathhouse which is just ahistorical and a really orientalist interpretation of the...

They're probably just close friends but there's definitely strong yuri undertones to the whole story and it's not like the author's shy about it too. Shame that everything has to be turned into a hidden romance like this

Ooh didn't knew Abe Lincoln would be in Ankara but should brush up how to address people with knighthood. You're always supposed to address them by either their first name or their full name when using Sir. You may only use their last name when you're addressing them by Mr, by a professional...

I dunno why the author had to pull that oriental bullshit with Anis and Shireen. Why the hell can't they just be friends and why did she have to have that bathhouse nudity stuff too. It's fucking shameful and disgusting to make mockery of another culture and religion to appease your dirty-minded...

Man I want a waifu who will hold me like that in her lap too

Precisely how I think about it too, while the whole idea is cute and what not the yuri subtext that seems to have been shoehorned into it is just so out of place. Especially when this type of thing wasn't present in the culture and the author is using Religion and cherished historical practices...

These wedding chapters were so cute and nostalgic man, they don't hold weddings like these anymore. I remember wedding like these from my childhood, they were such a hoot especially for the little kids. And the best part was always the food and the people fighting for it

Amira has to be a former tengri since there's no way she'd be able to marry into a Muslim family if she was one
