![]() Įustia has a very specific and fictional religion in its universe. Spoiler Disclaimer: The below post contains numerous spoilers about the visual novel Aiyoku no Eustia. How often are things like personal faith and the details of the religious beliefs actually important to the story? Almost always, they are but a tool or excuse to tell a story that doesn’t really have anything to do with belief in a god. However, these stories are always incredibly superficial with their inclusion of religion. ![]() Perhaps this is not entirely unique as there many examples where the “church” battles “demons” or something of that nature. Indeed, many of the plot reveals revolve around the church (of a fictional religion) and personal faith is challenged in multiple characters. What I mean by this is that religion itself plays an incredibly large role in the story. Eustia is definitely one of the most religious stories I’ve seen in otaku culture. ![]() ![]() While most people praise it for things like world-building and a character driven story, what I found most interesting about Eustia was its commentary on religion and faith. Aiyoku no Eustia is a fantastic visual novel (I initially thought it was only “great” but the more I thought about this post, the more I liked what it did) that still has yet to receive an English translation (a partial patch is available).
