I found your zine interesting because I didn't expect it to still be so complicated to write black characters.
Personally, I think Desscaras from Ichi the Witch (manga), Neoma from High Spirits Neoma (webtoon), and Bridgette from This Isekai Maid is Forming a Union! (webtoon) are cool characters. I highly recommend the mangas.
It’s because of a long history of black people being humanized. those depictions influence other regions in how they depict us which is why it’s an issue everywhere (simplification obvi but)!!! I’ve been waiting for Ichi the Witch to be further along but I’d like to read it! I’ve liked Desscares’ design for a long time!! I can check out the other as well!!
