Is there a problem with this manga?

Well, according to some SJWs the racist depiction of the seme is a problem. But that's bullshit.

Nice manga btw. Impatiently waiting for chapter 3 to be translated.

Wait, manga can be not approved based on racism? Umm, that doesn't make any sense. You can't just not approve based on content. I've seen way more controversial stuff approved. And this isn't even close my first Japanese uke with a foreigner/jungle man. All of the other manga that are like this get approved.

i really like this manga a lot and i was able to read all of it in japanese because enzou's manga has, for some reason, furigana on it. i don't see it as racist (but i understand if someone sees it that way), but rather that it plays into the "foreigner kink" (that of course some people may see as problematic), if i can say. there's countless of other bl manga out there that have similar topics to this, and usually they're not romanticizing a race but rather how love can overcome cultural differences and different languages, as cheesy as it sounds. and i find that quite sweet.

there are tons of problematic things in this manga as is the case in most bl manga, but i think it's crucial to understand that bl manga nowadays is very heavily dependent on different kinks (like s/m, crossdressing, etc.), and i think there are far more problematic kinks out there than this "foreigner kink".

but seriously, i'm baffled if the reason this manga has not yet been approved is because of racism. it has got to be some other reason, there are all kinds of manga and anime with fucked up stories in the database already so there is no reason not to add something in the database because of its subject matter.

btw, i think the exact name of the manga is mother's spirit, not mother spirit, because the title in japanese is マザーズ スピリット and isn't "mother" usually written as マザー(without the "zu" at the end) in japanese? i could be wrong tho.
