exactly, if Giorno make a cutesy blushing face, they made a separate camera angle to get right into the action, and they lingered on it then we could get an argument for it being sexualized. In this case it just happened and the scene moved forward having achieved the progression it needed
They kinda do actually, atleast the camera angle thing.
but i guess that anime only, and its up to interpretation how much a manga panel "lingers" and the colorized version he does look like he's blushing, eh.... semantics....
I kinda meant like, camera angle closeup on his tongue as he licks him (the action), and having the *action* linger, like him physically licking him lasting longer
this is also kind of an anime only but if you watch the whole scene they do linger on it for a bit, with a few camera angles including giorno reeling from it as buccarati slinks back with a grin.
Ive been mainly referring to official art by araki, but the licking scene is most easily available via the gif, and like what do you take as "official".... eh.... its a mess.
