Good question, Sunako. ^___^ I've never thought of that before. *hehe*
Shao, I believe in Scripture it also speaks wonders about how we should not be underhanded in our comments, meaning one thing and in our mind thinking another, and thus
challenging our brethren in their walk. (Galatians 5:22-26;6:1-7)
It is funny how you brought up your true feelings toward those here who happen to be fans of J-rock, Gothic Lolita and Mana. I, myself, am not into this type of look, but
whoa to me if I ever count another's spirituality against mine for enjoying the music of Mana or his style of clothing. I think we've lost the point of Christ if this is all we can consider through our day.
You really need to tread with caution here, Shao, and let us get back to the subject of Bremen and why you originally made this thread.
Now, I've never read Bremen - haven't wanted to because it has this cross-dressing guy that "freaks" me out - Haha. I hate when I'm not sure of the gender of a character - it's my own bias. It didn't bother me in Fruits Basket, when Ayame wore that dress-like outfit. I think Ayame is just one of those very effeminate characters that mangaka's like to make in Japan. However, I've heard Bremen is a reallly enjoyable manga and a very original one. It also has some beautiful art. My daughter and son have bugged me to check it out and maybe I should. I just really don't have the time. I barely have the time to read the mangas I truly WANT to read. ^___^;;
I found this overview of the manga, Bremen, that you might want to check out, Shao.
I think this will give you the information you are looking for:
