i read the manga a few years ago and loved it, but there was one part that was deeply unsettling that never got brought up or resolved again. tw: ed, disordered eating.
aoi's eating. its straight up disordered. i know he is a lizard and "naturally 'slower metabolism'" but in no world is that enough for him. this is further evident in scenes where he looks, well, thin. i wonder whyyy...
ive seen nothing about this anywhere, and it was never brought up again in the manga.. its almost like nagabe added this in here because eating less is a trope and being 'polar opposites' to hachi is the whole theme.
i read this manga while deep in my ed myself, which only feeded into the horrible mindset i refused to stray from for so long.
please prove me wrong, im more than happy to hear thoughts about this.
