This is quite a unique way to show disparate cultural values. Usually in stories like this, I see the outsider accidentally do something that offends the local culture. It's much less common to see an outsider encounter something considered wrong or taboo and think nothing of it, but that's also been done. It's quite interesting to see him misunderstand the taboo thing in this instance and have a minor mental conflict over it, but for completely different reasons than than the locals expect, making him equally enigmatic to them.
Oh, and the art is pretty impressive, too. Sub'd!
Ooh, thank you so much for the insightful comment! <3 I don't actively try to be unique with these things; they seem to just happen that way when I let my characters be themselves. Hopefully I'll be successful with making the rest of the story interesting, too, whether it's "unique" or not.
So, I'm guessing being a plant magician is considered unmanly in this culture? Looks pretty hardcore through my cultural eyes. Poor kid. (Stunning art, btw.)
They've traditionally been a women's art for reasons I hope to explain later in the comic. :) And thank you!
