regarding your previous anon i’d say that it’s pretty obvious that griffith is intentionally and overtly in love with guts. the relationship is loosely based on devilman and if u read one summer day(a side chapter) you’ll realize that ryo seething in jealousy watching miki & akira silently is exactly the same as post-torture griffith. miura’s numerous influences had gay content too. i don’t think he’d ever admit it in public but it’s pretty obvious that the narrative fully supports that reading

yeah, like idk if miura ever cited devilman directly as an influence but i know he cited go nagai and let’s be real, guts/griffith is extremely akira/ryo

and yeah even if he never admits it the narrative absolutely supports it and imo completely encourages it as a reading. to the point where i think it’s the most straightforward reading of their relationship – like to argue there’s no attraction between them you have to ignore or explain away a lot of suggestive moments.
