Parental advisory:
Explicit sexual situations.
I hope Gilbert seeks his revenge against Bonnard.
This man is truly evil.
I worry that Gilbert might be killed by one of his obsessed admirers in the future volumes.
I can't believe children read manga like this in the 1970s.
This story has explicit sexual situations and the only reason it isn't insufferable for me for the most part is because the art style isn't very realistic.
I skipped the scenes I hated and tried to enjoy the actual story but the story has really fallen off this volume.
This arc is somewhat more annoying than Berserk's explicit scenes because it happens so often.
I noticed this pattern in Keiko Takemiya's Kaze no ki uta whenever Gilbert is involved in a scene.
I can understand why her works are mostly translated into French and Italian and not English.
Though her artwork is beautiful and her use of poetic speech is often entertaining her constant depictions of rape,incest and pedophilia ruins her writings for me,mainly because the victims are never helped and are blamed for their abuse.
Kaze no ki uta volumes 4-6 had many scenes of Gilbert being abused by his uncle and his uncle's enemy,Bonnard.
Bonnard is never arrested for his actions in the volumes I've read and Gilbert is blamed for his androgynous appearance as if it's his fault he has been abused and r worded.
I haven't seen one gay relationship in her works so far where a gay character isn't a r*pist,a CSA victim or a pervert.
I didn't expect Kaze no ki uta to have such violent scenes in it and now I'm skeptical of reading anything else from her.
Shojo manga isn't perfect and has the same issues as seinen manga yet feminist pretend only male oriented manga written by men has this issue.
I can't think of one shonen series I've read where sex and rape is constantly mention,reference or shown.
I can't believe this is what little girls and teenagers read in the 1970s.
Good God.
