I'm gonna go out on a limb here,
I actually figure the gods do exist, insofar as she gains power from them. But they don't exist as the Church claims they do, and/or the Church might have been corrupted over time and now are idol worshipers, whereas the gods still favor her personally for going around and
Just give me Ashuna but more small/flat chested but totally a flirt looking for ladies to love similar to Brock.
I would put forward the argument that, at least in terms of the clothing, it's because of who she works for.
While I did think about that, also including weird angles into the analysis is a bit of a stretch imo. Like, maybe I could understand panels where she's interacting with male characters, especially the cardinal, but the angle and her ass being pronounced on page 32 while she fights the werewolf for example don't give me the impression that they had social commentary in mind while drawing it.
I'm absolutely trying to be as charitable as I can with that explanation, yeah. The idea is fun enough that I want to not have too many non-plot-related problematic details involved that risk tainting my enjoyment of it, but I do agree that deluding oneself is also not the right answer.
So distracting! The paneling goes out of its way to highlight it too. It almost feels like intentional parody, its so nonsensical. The sleeves and bangles are the craziest part like how does she even use her arms to do anything, let alone assassinate people? The sleeves are perfectly positioned for impeding mobility of the elbow joints and cutting off circulation to the lower arms with the fastener holding them in the place. The cuffs would chafe from sweat and loose fit. The bangles would get tangled with the cuffs or slide off at the worst moment if the arms weren't held at the correct angle. Uncomfortable to fight in and wear around.
Yeah that's one aspect sure, but I mean, in general there's multiple parts of the outfit that just, wouldn't work as clothing. The sleeves/bangles would just fall off for instance. This is a terrible outfit for someone whose job is generally being an assassin, and it is needlessly complicated and delicate and therefore likely to tear or get in the way of movement. Plus it would be terrible for avoiding suspicion/being identified. They can be sexist and realistic/practical.
It would depend on whether the hero was the first ever target she was told to seduce. If the Church made a habit of forcing her to regularly use her body as a means of getting close to targets, then an outfit worthy of a Persian king's harem wouldn't be the most out of place.
Except it's implied she is used to dispose dissidents, whetever just dissident of the doctrine or also of the orthopraxis is still to be seen, and the bad people in the group are only a subset
Yeah, she is totally not a good person, she knows that she is used by them to help them keep power, and nothing is actually god's will, but she "do a better life them most". she also seems to put some importance to the vows she made (maybe when she become a nun, unclear). It's also unclear, but imho implied, if the church have some ways to force her.
Okay , I've seen you commenting the same shit somewhere else 😐just read hentai at this point
