WILL SK8 THE INFY BEE A GAY ROMANCE?
Sk8 the Infy is the latt homoerotic h om director Hiroko Utsumi, but will go beyond queerbag and bee a gay romance? Had plenty of homoeroticism but no nonil romance between s athletic leads, whereas Banana Fish featured multiple non queer characters. All the homoeroticism ultimately beme tratg to many fans when, over and over, the characters end up engagg heteronormative behavr.
It n swerve to a gay romance or keep gog straight down s path of close bt iends. He is NOT queer-”d”, he is straight-up gay as he explicly talks about marryg dus and lls Langa his "Eve". In sence, “S” is an unrground gay club lol.
If you substute “skatg” wh “beg gay”, his arguments bee eerily siar to typil ‘ncerned’ homophobic relativ who own upon the “gay liftyle”, or the homophobic stereotype of gay men all beg predators. Of urse, sce Tadashi is a skateboarr himself, he’s meant to be read as a queer person wh ternalized homophobia. It’s a classic BL trope where a gay guy feels like he’s “rptg” his love tert who uld’ve had a “normal” life stead.
CHERRY BLOSSOM ANIME CHARACTER SK8 / IS SK8 THE INFY GAY
To rentextualise , Adam’s homophobic father found out that he was gay, and his gay iend (or boyiend) not only ni that he is gay to save his own sk, but also do nothg to support Adam who is beg abed by his fay. There's no way you n "no homo" out of this one. It ti to how beg gay is monly seen as jt “a phase” and they should get to “normal” relatnships as they step to adulthood.
The police even raids “S” episo 4, which is siar to how police ed to raid gay clubs. They even announce they want to skate wh each other fely which basilly translat to “I want to be gay wh you forever”, takg to acunt that this happened the exact same episo as Tadashi’s ternalised homophobia rant on skatg.
So yeah, Sk8 is gay as fuck. Joe is typilly seen as bisexual as he often flirts wh women and is seen kissg them non while Cherry is ually terpreted as gay sce he has shown no tert women and only displayed possible romantic feelgs towards Adam the past.
