This volume deals a lot with the violent morality of gods and their shinki. It’s like a new round of set up and world building. I quite enjoyed it.
Content Warnings
Moderate: Body horror, Body shaming, Bullying, Death, Gore, Mental illness, Misogyny, Sexism, Toxic relationship, Violence, Blood, Grief, Medical trauma, Murder, Gaslighting, Toxic friendship, and Injury/Injury detail
The misogyny has to do with sexualizing and groping some female characters. The blood and violence is quite brutal. The mental illness is kind of emblematic about the nature of Shinki not knowing their names and the repercussions of if they learn them. The God master and Shinki servant dynamic is kind of like a
Toxic friendship or relationship. It’s inherently imbalanced. The gods could potentially bully all of their Shinki quite a bit. The question of who holds the power is inherent.
