It’s weird how much mail this got.

Apparently, the idea of an young Asian male being extremely sexually attractive to women was pretty rare in American comics, so we got mail from Asian readers by the bucketload, happy to see Ryan portrayed that way. 

I really miss Ryan, he’s one of the characters I would write again in a heartbeat, if it was allowed!

As an Asian Male, I can verify that it’s unusual to be portrayed as attractive in media. Like: Asian guys in general, we’re told that pretty much the only women that find us attractive are Asian women, and women who just have a weird thing for Asian guys.

Urgh, that’s horrid.

I don’t know what it is with people who need to make others feel like less than they truly are. Screw them, they are awful.
