@Awesomelyyyyyyy my pal u r so strong

@aries.frog yooo enjoy ur summer break!! the tldr is i argued that eve is of age when he met gozu thus no grooming occured lol

@I want a life pls listen i wrote all that on a whim so it's totally up to y'all if u wanna read or not so pls don't feel sorry...maybe one day u'll feel like reading. then we can have a convo☺️

@Adyst no it's a wip

@gae asf y'know what that's fair. and thks for clicking the kissy face!<3

@leinn_ he's our love n eve's love🥺❤️

@cats4 asya the maleyuri exists n it is wonderful💖

@Awesomelyyyyyyy ...and yet u left 2 identical comments under it. perhaps u shud reconsider the "uncaring, unbothered" schtick bc it screams of manufactured dismissiveness (but i actually care A Lot). cheers💕

@Tsukiyomi evegozu already communicate a mountain's worth more than the average BL couple n they still have things they could work on.....truly telling on how problematic the average BL couple is🥲🥲

@hyou解 lastly, some ppl have pointed out that they watched the anime n got icked when they saw gozu call eve "kid". this isn't definitive, but i think that's mostly due to the nuances of translating smth from japanese to english. the japanese language has smth called gobi[語尾], which roughly translates to "the inflection one uses to end their sentences", like daze[だぜ], desune[ですね], desuyo[ですよ], dabe[だべ], etc, but the english language doesn't have that. translators often (but not always) make up for the lack of gobi by making the character call the name or nickname of their scene partner at the end of their sentences. in this case, perhaps gozu's use of gobi is often translated into "kid" bc it fits gozu's character n at first glance, eve does look childish compared to gozu. to my knowledge, gozu has never called eve a literal kid by referring to him as bouzu[坊主] or bouya[坊や] in the japanese version. he did call eve gaki[ガキ] once, and the closest translation to that is "brat", but that's not smth u exclusively say to someone underage. again, not definitive, so pls take this explanation w/ a grain of salt.

to conclude: i know that for some ppl these reasons don't justify how eve is presented (and the author does admit that she prefers smaller, dainty tops), so if the lore behind his appearance still makes u uncomfortable, then pls curate ur media consumption n don't read this manga. for those staying: happy reading! may the force of the antichrist be w/ u🙏🏼

cheers luv!

@adwb y'know what.....i'm so tired of this question. every single week we get a flavor of this question, so maybe it's time to engage in this discourse. i hope everyone's asking in good faith, coz i'm gonna try to lay down my arguments in good faith.

first of all, we're never explicitly told eve's age. all we know is that according to the standard of his world, eve is a grownup who's old enough to drink n get married. eve told gozu this in chapter 80.

now, the matter of eve's appearance. eve said that his physical growth is stinted due to his magic (see: chapter 35). he was made fun of a lot bc of his small physique - ppl told him he was all bones n that he looked like a corpse - and that made him very self-conscious n insecure.

@........... ikr i'm so glad the casting is literal perfection🤌🏼💋  idk what went thru satotaku's head when they were recording but it was most likely along the lines of "this is for the girls n the gays✨"

@Sx7sp7defender LISTEN I HEAR U,,,,,i know they're only here for exposition n to appreciate eve's cuteness (their Taste honestly🤌🏼) but i can't help but to look at them they're so beautiful.......so glad they're alive honestly thanks eve

@Kimini_minimi_ni it's not just u luv!! i also see it👀   eve's emotionally matured so much throughout their journey that it kinda shows on his face n demeanor. that's why i find the comments complaining abt his appearance funny coz at this point, he's more adult-like than most of the BL tops i know lmao
