What are your left wing manga/anime recommendations? I only got Ninpu Kamui Gaiden, because it is communist and ninjaic? You may shrug you shoulders, but a communist created all the ninja cliches, like a dude named Sasuke and the "Izuna Drop"! Unfortunately, the manga is from 1969, when the United States still had not erased all left-wing presence in Japan.
That's always something
Just started the I'm In Love With the Villainess manga and holy shit is she down horrendous
Which one?
Main girl Rae of course.
The politics seem to start around chapter 16 and while I don't love the "rioting commoners were part of a shadowy plot" beat, the overall structure of how the magic system affects the material conditions is interesting.
Oh lol I see I had misunderstood what you had said. I think it felt more like the shadowy plot taking advantage of public anger to me which is why I felt like it works, since the agency is still with the populace at large. I'm glad you think it's interesting though!
It's a somewhat common trope to have a particular character behind a riot, because it gives the main character someone to face off against and talk to, but I think it misrepresents how riots actually form and function, and tends to resemble right wing "outside agitator" narratives.
Yeah no that's completely fair, it's been like a year since I've read the story so I could totally be off-kilter, I think your issues are pretty valid
