On Jae-ha's bisexuality
Jae-ha is one of my favorite characters in Akatsuki no Yona and when he first appeared, I felt such a kinship with him. Well, the treatment of his bisexuality once more got me thinking about how 'mainstream' Japanese works (works that don't want to be pigeonholed into BL or GL) still have to tip-toe around depicting same-gender attraction.
I really wish Jae-ha could've just been openly bisexual instead of his attraction to Hak being mostly played for laughs, although in a heteronormative society that also makes sense in its own way. Still, it'd have been nice if at least the narrative made it clear enough that fans couldn't deny it - because if it's not, unfortunately any same-gender attraction will be scrutinized right down to the smallest detail.
In any case, Jae-ha is bi, and I love him.
