Some gay characters are jt a pleasure to watch, like Yuzu om Cs. For this self-proclaimed gya, beg gay don’t necsarily have to mean a lot of drama. But the two members of Diavolo’s Uná Speziale are clearly a gay uple.
What mak them so special is that they’re the only two openly gay characters a show where everyone looks like their only stenance are Chromati Oreos. Now ’s gay and a b weird too.
It’s hard to say whether we n classify a transcenntally different creature such as an angel as “gay”. But every send of screen-time Kawo gets wh Shji is rich homosexual subtext. The two uld bee gay symbols for younger generatns, both Japan and abroad.
