WHA manga made my boyfriend who isn't fond of manga cry
After years of begging my boyfriend to finally read WHA, the anime intrigued him enough to start reading. After he blasted through all my physical volumes he caught up Qifrey's flashback arc online last week and I got home to him crying. He's a big empath, so I knew the story would tug on his heart strings, but even i didn't expect that! I can't bring myself to feel bad about it though because misery loves company and now he can suffer monthly with me.
Boyfriend is a comic book fan and doesn't watch/read a lot of manga or anime besides the basics so this series has definitely been something unusual for him but I've gotten some of his thoughts out of him as he's read:
-He immediately found all the girls very endearing, even Agott.
-He was very excited that Olruggio had a beard. He asked me why I swoon over Qifrey when Olruggio is right there lol.
-"Alaira is the best"
-He fears that the witches in the Great Hall may start to become inbred one day
-He was excited over the idea that the one with the revenge plot isn't the protagonist or antagonist but instead the mentor figure.
-"Dagda is the best"
-He binge read all of the Silver Eve and Leech arc in one sitting
-Said that the consequence of the truth of magic being exposed keeps him up at night.
-Was disappointed that Qifrey wasn't as selfish as he thought
-"Man now I can't even shit on Qifrey for doing that to Olruggio".
He hasn't said it but his favorite character is definitely Olly, he immediately clocked that he was probably the most soft-hearted person in the series even before the Silver Eve arc, and given the type of selfless characters he likes in comics, Olruggio fits that bill to a T lol.
I've converted an unlikely ally guys! He has a lot of thoughts and theories that I hope I can convince him to rant about here, so just in case he does I've posted this on my alt so hopefully he doesn't find it immediately...
