Redraw and colouring of the panel from Volume 8 of Vanitas no Carte where Vanitas has a whole crisis about reciprocal romance. Coloured in Lithromantic pride week colours for @aggressivelyarospec 2026!
Vanitas cannot fathom being loved back. Defining what romance itself means comes up frequently enough in manga, and Vanitas explicitly states at one point that he entertains the possibility of 'romantic' pursuit only when he knows the other person won't entertain his pursuit and won't reciprocate it back to him.
That's Lithromantic/Akoiromantic to a T! He falls sick when he is faced with the prospect of reciprocal romance. He sweats profusely, looks like the spooked Tails meme simply thinking of reciprocal romance. The label fits him like a glove!
