I think Styrk is more at risk of doing something rash during negotiations than Einar is. Styrk almost certainly holds Ga'aoqi as being primarily responsible for Ivar's death (even if he didn't personally kill Ivar, Ga'aoqi cutting off Ivar's hand and taking his sword basically locked Ivar into...

It’s not a four month hiatus. The May 2025 issue gets released in March 2025. It’s a standard one extra month break. It’s standard practice for many magazines to have cover dates two months ahead of their actual release date.

Oh it’s that too (even primarily that), but it also almost certainly kinky imagery at the same time as well.

Oh I know the King of Despair is an anime-only character and may not even be considered “canon” to Nightow personally. The point that I was making was that despite being anime-only material, the King of Despair’s comments on how Klaus was basically the current incarnation of hope, and thus...

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...
