They are not Mongolian but anon could be forgiven for thinking so since the plot so far has basically been a rip off of the life story of Mandukhai Khatun and her husband Dayan Khan who Mandukhai adopted at age 7 when she was 19 and then married 12 years later after he became the Great Khan.
Why the author felt the need to move the story 500 years in time and 2000 miles west I have no idea. The real story is fascinating enough.

Yes, very. Dayan Khan was the last surviving male heir in direct line from Chengis Khan. Mandukhai, saved him, raised him, trained him to be a warrior, helped him form a coalition that elected him great khan, then had 9 children with him.
Mandukhai was herself descended from Chengis Khan, she was a third or fourth cousin to Dayan Khan..

I agree, I'd love to see Mori tackle a couple like that because she's so good at working with traditional marriage in a way that deals with it on its own terms instead of incessantly trying to subvert tradition the way many creators love to do.

I guess that sort of thing might be taboo even in Japan.

>>143517325
Taboo or not, it takes a skilled author to pull something like that. It has been seen for quite a while for a much older man with a relationship with a much younger girl as being somewhat more aggressive. There can be and was in many cases love but the balance of expectations to fantasy is tough. While it wasn't unusual to see it at all in much earlier times, I can't see the relationships being quite as cozy as Amira's situation. In contrast an older woman with a young boy is seen as more nurturing and loving if not that we really feel envious towards the guy, even today. One good example is Tommen and Margaery in Game of Thrones when she snuck into his room and seduced him. Flip that around and that would get creepy.

It could work but again, would be a hard one to tackle.

>>143518308
Historically speaking though older men with younger women, in some cases young girls, is not that uncommon. Otoyomegatari can deal with some interesting relationships because of its historical setting and Mori's commitment to it so if there's anyone who could portray an older man with a much younger girl I think it would be Mori or someone with similar sensibilities.

Btw Leon the Professional teased a sexual undertone to the relationship between Portman and Reneau's characters and a deleted scene implied it even more. Admittedly it was removed because a test audience found it weird but that's a fairly big budget film so I don't see why a mangaka couldn't at least attempt to pull it off.

Well, if I'm not mistaken, the manga took place in mid 19th century, as soon as these footage 60-70 years later. I don't think that camera at 1850s were able to took good quality photos (I know that at there were already some experiment with taking color photo in 1850s).

>>143535585
Its not like the romances she writes have any relation to modern marriage in Japan. Emma is about a maid in Emma and Otoyomegatari are set in the 19th century in Victorian London and Central Asia respectively. Both settings have vast differences with marriage in the modern world generally and marriage in modern Japan specifically.

The mangaka who insist on having self insert beta-kun as their main character seem more influenced by ignorance of romance, either on the part of the author or the audience or both.

He must've assumed the Arabs had some sort of presence because of the spread of Islam to the region but that's a mistake. The Arabs were able to penetrate and conquer the Levant and the Maghreb and spread Islam with them but in Central Asia Islam spread more so through conversion, not conquest, via the Sufis. This is why central Asia has a much, much weaker tradition of Sharia and why they retain many of their own traditions; The Sufis were the exact opposite of the strict Sharia jurists and were not at all antagonistic towards local traditions and in fact assimilated them within an Islamic framework which made them effective at converting the peoples of Southeast and Central Asia who were beyond the reach of the Islamic empires.

When conquest did play a role it was in the opposite direction; the Central Asian steppe nomads fucking the Arab and greater Muslim world thoroughly through the Mongol conquests which eventually lead to many of them converting to religion of the conquered.

>>143538892
>in Central Asia Islam spread more so through conversion
>not conquest
Who are the Mughals

>>143538925
I could've worded that better. Islamic empires did reach both Central and deep into South Asia so you've got a point but Islam spread even further beyond their reach through the Sufis. A lot of the peoples of those lands were hard to convert because they were nomadic and independent making them harder to influence through a state apparatus where as the Sufis, with their emphasis on spiritual practices and their openness to local tradition, were more effective at converting those peoples.

Not to mention many were still outside the reach of these empires. Mughals didn't go far past modern day Afghanistan so this manga takes place a bit north of the northernmost parts of the Mughal Empire at its height. So the peoples of this manga, with the possible exception of the Tajik twins, don't live in lands that were part of the Muhgal Empire.

>>143501987
I haven't read that manga, but I'd pound the hell out of Taras and Karluk. Maybe the twins, too.

It doesn't seem to align with the setting of the manga but to be fair it s a Muslim empire of the Steppe. Wiki says its the northernmost Muslim state in recorded history, how neat. Obviously I was wrong in saying Muslim empires did not reach deep into the Steppe because that is pretty fucking deep. I still think some of my points stand though. Imposing religion on nomadic and independent peoples is a lot harder than imposing it on settled peoples who are more integrated.

The Muslim conquerors of the Levant and Maghreb didn't even force too many people to convert so that they could collect the Jizyah(a tax on non-Muslim monotheists which was basically most of the people under Muslim rule back then) and many people who did convert to Islam under their rule probably did so to raise their status and to break into the bureaucracy and imperial structure which shut out most non-Muslims.

Its pretty clear the imperial Islamic presence is much deeper and rooted in the Middle East than in the Central Asian Steppe but I probably down played the role of empire in the spread of Islam in the Steppe. In my defense I did mention the conversion of the Mongols as part of the spread of Islam though.

They were basically an offshoot of the Mongol Empire who ruled over Indians. Northwest India has a long history of being conquered by various peoples, the ruling class has ranged from Greco-Buddhist descendants of Alexander the Great's veterans who brought Buddhism to China via the Silk Road, to steppe nomads like the Kushans and Sakans, and Iranic peoples like the zoroastrian Indo-Parthians. Mughals were persianized, muslim Turco-Mongols, and Babur, their first emperor, was a descendant of Tamerlane, the second greatest Mongol warlord.
