and that I love seeing non-romantic parent/child and brother/sister relationships in manga.
And this is why a very large part of me hates the bulk of the anime/manga community(ok, not really "hates" on a person-to-person level, but...)
It seems you can't have any such relationship without people trying to sexualize it...Yachiro/Kenpachi, Yukimura/Sasuke, Sanzo/Goku, Roy Mustang/Edward Elric(FMA) and Tsume/Toboe(Wolf's Rain) are the ones that immediately come to mind, though there are others...those are just the ones I come across the most frequently. It's like the mass fandom goes "Oh, a relationship where an older character is protective of and cares about a younger character...THEY MUST BE LUVAHS!"
I did manage to pick up other manga that traumatized me in other ways. Some of which I shall scan and share when the box gets here, because I MUST SHARE THE PAIN.
Like a large amount of what comes from your fingers, the idea of this both fascinates and terrifies me...out of curiosity, what fandoms?
