One look at Geopolitics Boys ch. 62 and that's how I knew not to trust the mangaka.
#yes it's a chapter ft. the philippines#his character design is giving elitist college student and i hate it lol#tbh everyone is a typical bishounen so they all come off as flat#and so do their personalities#geopol ph is also a hardcore Christian and it's such an annoying trait#the manga acknowledge the tensions between china and#vietnam and the philippines#i'm not surprised by the us-ph relations#it's jp-ph that got me suspicious#the govt sure likes to milk off of them too#but their embassy was the one who requested the removal of#the statue honoring comfort women#it hasn't been back up since#i haven't read the other chapters so i don't want to call this a review#but the manga does deliver on its premise of gijinka countries as average salarymen#it props up the status quo. nothing more.#The US may be the core of global imperialism but at least his Hetalia incarnation had one of the most fucking heartwrenching arcs#meanwhile geopol US is just a white man cosplaying as a bousouzoku#btw there are more ethical ways of experiencing whalesharks and cebu is just...not that
