Ok first topic: The implications of age in this series-
Ok so I was wondering if anyone else has thought about the aspect of the rosemyne and Wilfried romance and the rosemyne and Ferdinand romance story lines. On one hand on matches her physical age while the other matches her mental age. I feel like in a lot of these reincarnation stories this is always a conundrum. Our society says both storylines are wrong but would you agree with that opinion and damn those in this situation a loveless life or candon the age gap? Personally I think the mental age is important in this kind of situation. I feel more comfortable with her and Ferdinand versus her and Wilfried. How about you?
(spoiler) Oh this topic lol ngl first few volumes i was set in stone with Lutz. Then i heard a spoiler who she ends up with and i was kinda mad and buffled, and i was like i aint reading more lol. But then i continued cuz i love it so much and Ferdinand just kept getting better and i see why she would end up with him. Wilfred no. Just hated him so much im sorry 😂😭 any time he got better he doubled down, i was so annoyed and i can't see him more than just an annoying kid even if he a teen. And i just wanted Ferdinand and her to be together even if romantic or not i don't care.

Topic 2: Show versus Series versus Manga-
To start off all these mediums do an amazing job at telling this story. I personally love the OG novel due to,
A: complete and easy access. This is the only medium that can be said to be finished. Yes Miya is making a side series but it’s not the many people of this story.
B: I get SO MUCH MORE information with this medium. Side stories, character art, character thoughts. Everything.
I love the manga due to the art and easy storytelling medium. Its easier and sometimes more fun to read a manga compared to a novel. Con though is that this medium is in no way finished. Most things we can access (as an English speaker) is not correctly or completely translated.
Finally the Show: This holds a special place in my heart. I was first introduced to this series through the amazing show, so this will always be a medium I adore. That being said how do you all feel about the new season? I’m currently rewatching the series so that I can watch the lastest season. I’m already a little sad about the art change but hopefully the stories is still well done. Either way I hope they complete this series through the anime as well.
Hiiii, I love the idea of having a sort of series forum for AoaB, but maybe you could add that there are spoilers in the comments here? Maybe in the List blurb and at the beginning of your first comment? ❤️
Welcome!!!! So happy to add a AoaB fan!!
I understand where you’re coming from. Sadly, I cannot blur an already published post. Though with that being said, I wasn’t actually talking about any future romances that could potentially happen. The character “rosemyne ” doesn’t get introduced until later and soon after she is introduced, marriage talks with her and other potential people are VERY soon discussed, I was just focusing on the two male characters that those discuss discussions focused 😉. I wasn’t really talking about any end relationships. I was mostly talking about the implications that the age gap.
But again I understand where you’re coming from. Currently, I’ve only invited people that seem to like and has finished this series. So I think I’ll keep it up for a little while longer. Just to see the discussions cause I do wanna know other peoples answers.
