Ok guys…. I have a major problem with the whole Edwin X Zelda thing. First of all, isn’t Edwin in his 50’s at LEAST? He’s the exact same age as Regis, being his twin and all. I assume he dyed his hair so no gray shows but that doesn’t change the fact that Zelda looks maybe 30 at the oldest?
She definitely looks way younger than him, right? I’m not going crazy?
I feel like in some panels they do make him look a TAD younger like this one here but that could be entirely coincidental.
Aside from this, though, my other and perhaps bigger issue is just how….. (and this is gonna sound terrible I’m sure) frankly, *horny*, this story seems to be? Especially on Zelda’s side? 😅
Why is she giving him bedroom eyes like this? And it’s not just these panels, it’s throughout. And she could just be teasing cause it’s funny or whatever but THIS ART IS WILD. They use that pink light a lot and I remember it really catching me off guard 😅
Also, not to mention the actual story is questionable with Edwin learning to have to show her basic respect and that being the biggest reason he doesn’t pursue her. Like hello?? That’s horrible?? Is there not anything else you like in her? They do bond over theatre i THINK but that is SO BASIC 😭😭 they have such forced chemistry it’s crazy.
I have a feeling the only reason they did this is to “stop” people from shipping Edwin and Shakespeare- but this whole forced romance is sooo uncomfortable.
Does anyone else feel this way or have anything else to add? Am I totally off base? I’ll admit it’s been a while since I’ve read it but I just remember feeling super icky the whole time 😭
