Comic is honestly cringe but having a (jap) character look like a gorilla is a long running gag in their media. Which is why despite being a and that striking my mind first I thought it wouldn't feature too much in the discussion. Ofc that's not the case, redditors are convinced its about Africans.
Again, off the top of my head I can remember three gorilla characters in popular mangay, I've probably seen more just forgotten but it doesn't come into their mind
I don't understand how anyone can be on /r/manga and not have come across this trope in some obviously non racist context in the past. !anime

To be fair it's very weird how the comic states he's actually human. It would unironically be less weird if it did not bring attention to it

I agree. Like whats the logic behind a human literally looking like a gorilla

Its a running gag, Gintama did this for over 200 episodes, outright nicknaming the character Gori-san as in gorilla, while also making references to him looking like one. They even arrange a marriage between an actual gorilla and him. Japs just really like gorillas.

there aren't many people in this world more racist than social media liberals.
they see a gorilla and their first thought is well that's obviously a black man because that's how they see black men...

The funniest thing is how these people equate gorilla and black people and obliviously say the manga is because of Nip racism(not that they aren't), unaware of their own prejudice and premature judgements that lead to these assumptions. There's no reason to equate black people and gorillas.
I mean, a Japanese person would never date black people.

How are xenophobia and racism the same thing? Just shows where these tard's minds are at even more. They don't see other races as inferior (well, some maybe, and that would be racist), they just don't like cultural outsiders. I would even say they (begrudgingly) see white people as their superiors after getting BTFO in WWII

They always were yuroboos, Meiji reformers even tried to switch fashion to yuro style though obviously that had nothing to do with the actual hard power advantages yuros enjoyed that allowed perry's mission. Pan Asianism and assorted ideologies they came up with pre WW2 reek of the same sort of cope neo paganism does, same as Russia's eurasianism.

They have an interesting history in respect to western powers for sure. I suspect the main problem is that their women have always craved white men and they have to design their foreign policy around the issue.
