Rifujin na Magonote joined the discussion and reconsidered his position.

Rifujin na Magonote responded on X to the actively discussed opinion in the Japanese internet about the intentional absence of sexual subtext in "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End" and "SPY×FAMILY."The writer reasoned that sensual scenes are not a mandatory sign of quality, but their complete exclusion can create a feeling among the audience of something important missing. According to him, there is no correct balance — each author decides for themselves how appropriate certain content is.Rifujin suggested that the discussion was not about explicit content, but about the absence of even indirect references to the characters' personal lives, and drew a parallel with Dragon Quest — but immediately refuted it, admitting that the game does contain such hints.After rereading the manga, he softened his initial thesis: there is no absolute absence of subtext in "Frieren," it's just that male characters rarely show romantic interest.In conclusion, the author admitted that getting involved in someone else's dispute was unwise, and concluded: praising one work by belittling another is a bad strategy for all participants in the comparison.
