[ cw for talking about the implications of incest of the last arc v manga chapter, and also a cw for talking about the possible pedophilia in the last chapter too]
Hey, so, I’m not really one to go out and talk about these sort of things openly on the internet. But I’ve always had my stance on them that I have no intention of changing. And when it comes to where it’s at now, and how unfortunately the content of the arc v manga has ended in a very poor and disgusting way that should not have been. And how I’ve been the main poster of this content. I feel it really needs to be said and addressed
Basically, if you don’t know, at the end of chapter 45 it was heavily implied that Yuzu is going to be the future parent of all the yuuboys.. and do to how yoshida handled her “relationship” with yuya and the other yuuboys, and how they interacted, that would turn how they interacted, into incest. Which in any situation, is wrong, and disgusting, and has no reason to be in a manga directed at teens and young adults. Especially when the writers write it in a way that gives the message that they don’t have a problem with it. I could go on about how horrible of a choice this was for them to make, and all the other problems with the treatment of certain characters, and how it all could have been written so much better. But I mostly just want to get to the main points right now.
if I had known that this was how the manga was going to turn out, I would not have started posting it. I do not condone incest nor do I want to be associated with it. And if the Vrains manga (if it becomes a thing), has anything to do with yoshida, I will not be posting it. (Because he is the main writer of the arc v manga and stuff like this has been a trend with him(there are many examples), which I can only assume to get worse in the Vrains manga if he writes it, possibly as bad or worse than how the arc v manga got to in the end)
That being said, you may have noticed that I did add to these posts with how you can support the manga / Shonen Jump who translate it, if you wanted to. Which at the time seemed like a fair thing to do as I was paying for the manga and then posting it for everyone for free. But now with the flat out confirmation of these incestuous implications, I feel disgusted by SJ for allowing it to be published like this. Even if they didn’t have any say on how the manga played out. I still think it should be their job to take this down off their website, or at the very least warn people. Now, I don’t know how much money would have actually gone the manga creators if you did support it through SJ.(might have gone more towards the english publishers) But ultimately it’s yoshida’s fault for writing it this way, but I also see Konami, V-Jump, and Shonen Jump at fault for allowing it to be published under them, so that’s why I no longer want to promote the arc v manga on the SJ website.
I’m not sure as to what the best ways to tell them about these concerns are. But SJ does have a twitter, so you could try contacting them that way if you wish too. Or if sales of this manga (in any language really) suddenly go down because of the last chapter, that would show the publishers that people are not willing to buy it as much as they were.
Anyway, after this I’m going to edit all of the chapter posts and take out any links to shonen jump, and I will be writing a full warning about the incest at the beginning of each chapter for future readers who don’t know. (while linking to this post as well) And with keeping these chapters up but adding to them a clear warning, that would prevent people from having to buy the manga in order to read it, also it would be giving them a proper warning so they’re aware of what’s in it before they decide to read or buy it. Which I think is the best thing to do with the chapters as of now.
I have nothing against shipping Yuya and Yuzu in the anime or shipping her with the other yuuboys in the anime in a healthy way.(those ships in the anime have nothing to do with incest) But for these ships in the manga, whether you know yet or not, all the “ship-y” content for them that happens in this manga is now confirmed to be incest, because Yuzu is heavily implied to be the yuuboys mother in the future, so if you wish to ship these characters, please keep it to anime-only. And be very aware of the context of how this is implied in the manga before engaging with these manga ships and defiantly before reading it too if that’s something you’d want to do. (but if you do read it, I seriously hope it’s not because of these gross reasons.. I wouldn’t want you on my page if it was for that)
It’s also worth saying that at the end of chapter 45, when they showed a younger Yusho meeting Yuzu, while he does look younger, Yusho doesn’t really look to be as young as Yuzu, or very close to her age. That part is not really a for sure thing like the last issue.(we don’t know his age) But going with how yoshida has already written a confirmed pairing like this before in the Zexal anime( Akari Tsukumo and Charlie McCoy, Akari being a minor while McCoy was an adult friend of her dad’s), it could be easily taken as pedophilia when you’re aware of that. And to make things worse, Yuzu does call Yusho her uncle in the anime, which by it’s self in the anime isn’t bad, but knowing yoshida wrote for the Zexal anime and manga, along with the Arc v manga, it doesn’t really sit well with me. So yeah, that should also be warned about. I also ask you to take the possibility of that into consideration, and think it over, before you decide engage with that pairing.
This may not even need to be stated at this point but, I do not condone pedophilia nor do I want to be associated with it.
I understand if you still enjoyed the manga or still like some parts of it (I like parts of it too), and it’s not your fault for shipping something that you had no idea of how it really was (yoshida’s fault there). I’m not going after anyone for that. But when it comes to a serious issues like incest or pedophilia, those parts should not be taken lightly or just brushed aside, it can be very triggering for people (which is why there should have been a warning when this manga started, or yah know, they could have just not put it in there in to begin with), and I know it might be hard to know what to think of the manga as a whole after this, but please if you’re uninformed of all the terrible things that incest and pedophilia create, please look it over in a safe manner and think about it all seriously before you go to defend these types of ships or this type of content
(if you’re already aware and don’t have a problem with it, then well, I ask you to not interact with me, as I and I’m sure a majority would not want any form of acceptance to the incest and pedophilia, anywhere near them)
TL;DR : The ending to the Arc v manga has heavily implied that Yuzu is the yuuboys future mother which would make the interactions of previous chapters between them to be incestuous, there could also be possible pedophilia with Yuzu and the younger Yusho she meets at the end.(no confirmed age for him, but he looks to be a lot older then her). I’m basically just wanting to warn everyone about these things to anyone who wants to or has engaged with the manga before. It’s ok to have liked the manga for the good parts of it, and it’s not your fault if you liked a ship before you knew of this. Just be cautious and careful going forward. Think seriously about these issues before you defend it. And if you’re not very informed on those matters, do so in a safe way. I do not condone any of this incest nor pedophilia content, and I wouldn’t have started posting the manga if i knew it would end up this way. (also if you are well informed and dont mind this content, I don’t want you to interact with me) If yoshida has anything to do with the vrains manga I will not be posting it. I will also be reformatting how I have posted the chapters, including all the proper warnings and taking out any promoting to SJ as they’re partly to blame for allowing it to be published.
