Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Kakuriyo puts narrative and folklore first, keeping its supernatural romance grounded in character growth and traditional Japanese mythology. There is minimal emphasis on forced identity politics or representation for its own sake. Aoi, the heroine, is well-rounded but not flawless.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The story respectfully incorporates Japanese cultural themes, family ties, and spirituality, upholding rather than subverting tradition. Masculine and feminine roles are presented naturally within the context of Japanese folklore, no heavy-handed modern messaging detected.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is no ideological monoculture here. The series primarily explores a fantastical world that values tradition and folklore, without using caricatures to mock dissenting views or push contemporary ideologies. Plurality and nuance are maintained.
