Glad I started reading before I posted. Didn’t realize she was supposed to be a New Yorker who “fell through the cracks”

I thought this was purely based in fantasy.
Nah they wrong for not having no black writers.

sounds like it some white folks putting together what they think a black personality is.

Yup if it was just a fantasy setting with a brown skinned character it wouldn’t matter.

But they tried to give her a “black” background or what they assume is one.

Even the shyt about magical abilities being customizable through nail polish/designs came off as kinda weird to me.

At first I was like that’s kinda cool thinking maybe some young women/girls would relate to that and really be into the game. But considering the whole package that shyt is cringy as fukk too.:smh:

You guys are expecting way too much from a Japanese company. They just randomly picked big names that were available to write it obviously. Lets see how it is before we cancel it.
