Have You Tried Not Being a Monster?: The story takes place in a magical society where men become shapeshifters and women become witches, but the protagonist Aster is a boy who cannot transform and secretly tries to study witchery. It is easily read as a metaphor for discrimination in gender roles, with men being pushed toward violent activities and women towards domestic ones. Though Aster never displays explicit discomfort specifically with being assigned male, it's shown his preference for magic isn't merely personality when Mikasi tastes his soul and discovers it is that of a witch.

Also, it had no apparent purpose of working as a mystical link between Klarion and the mortal plane.
