Would you throw 10 cents at a peasant for him to stop clinging to you ? That's what Nagi just did. You shouldn't ever relate to billionaires, nothing good comes from it

Honestly? I reckon I would've just skipped to blackmailing the scumbag ex (without paying him anything) to get him out of there. Then after he left, ordered a hitman for 5 cents to take care of him :P

But I guess the whole point of Nagi throwing money around was to get to the 'She's the daughter of a conglomerate' revelation more quickly.

Can't believe she just threaten his social life and gave him money to leave, fucking stupid!
If she's a daughter of a rich family there's plenty of ways to remove him!
500000 yen is a significant amount of money then wasted 1 million with a weak threat about his social life Urgh!!

Nagi gave her rotten ex boyfriend ten thousand dollars, even though she was the one with the notebook full of his dirty little secrets? Someone needs to explain to her how blackmail works.

ch9 p12... so I get the whole "ha ha making fun of insecurities of women with smaller boobs funny hilarious tasteful" part of that, but what's with the implication that being mistaken for a trans woman is insulting, in the year twenty nineteen

I mean, the dude's not "mistaking her for a trans woman". He's just being a dickhead. His statement effectively equates to "you're just a man pretending to be a woman". I feel like any woman, trans or not, would be pretty offended by that.

To me, the notion that he thought of a trans woman as a valid answer to "Why woman but no boobs???" is somehow vaguely affirming?

Like, in his mind, it seems like trans women are a real thing that are valid. And he doesn't really offer any further judgement on the matter once he reaches that (bad) conclusion. So maybe I'm just being super generous because I'm tired and shit, but I didn't really have a problem with the whole thing.

But my thoughts certainly don't invalidate anyone else's takeaway from it.

Would you appreciate being referred to as being a gender you are not? Because that is the long and short of what’s happening here. The dude mistakes Chihiro for a boy, and when she corrects him, he determines that she must be a man who is in the process of transitioning simply because he can’t see her boobs, which means she couldn’t simply be a woman. That’s pretty damn insulting if you ask me. The whole trans thing is just being used to give the joke a modern twist.

It's a manga about healing, and Nagi picked the option that would give her master the least to worry about. Just sending him away would mean he'd eventually come back later, and literal murder would hurt Chi-chan more. Spending a mil to send him away for good is just like how she sprang for the priciest room at the love hotel. There's logically no need to spend that much even if you are rich. That's simply how much she cares for Chi-chan.

Should we ask if Nagi will disappear as suddenly from Chihiro's life as she did Scumbag's?

I feel like they are both healing each other. Throwing money at the scumbag might seem weird, but it's a small sacrifice if he stops bothering them. The secret notes are a good fallback - "you have what you want, don't show up again, or else"

I think the point of this character was mostly to show that Nagi had tons of bad experiences and needs a lot of healing herself.

Anime/Manga. Where option to just not let him in doesn't exist.

It's mostly the stupid Japanese mentality. Public image is the most important > someone causing problems in front of your door draws attention and people will gossip > it's better to let them in and deal with it in private, so nobody knows what's going on.

That's exactly how I understood that too. There's no way she can be a woman looking like that. The only explanation is, it's a man who wants to be a woman, so he's pre-op (no boobs) transsexual. He still see her as a man, not a woman and tries to rationale why man would call himself a woman. The insult is that he can't see Chihiro, a biological woman, as nothing other than a man.

It doesn't help that Japanese architecture still seems to equate 'wall' with 'a paper-thin surface that separates space'. If someone were banging on my neighbors door ... I might hear it if I was absolutely quiet, but probably not otherwise. In Japan, the entire neighborhood inevitably hears the argument ;)

"Chapter 9: Stalker vs Scumbag!"

I was hoping Stalker would win by KO.

Instead, it was a draw.

The biggest problem with just giving him money to go away is that he has no reason to believe that she won't just give him money again he if comes and bothers her again. Yeah, she threatened him, but if threatening him was enough to make him stay away, then why give him money in the first place?

In his eyes, nothing bad actually happened. She hasn't actually deterred him in any meaningful sense. If anything, she's just encouraged him to come back, because he's learned that she'd rather do what he says and pay up than resist and cause trouble, even though she absolutely has enough money and power to cause him infinite trouble. Realistically, he'd just burn through all that cash, and come banging on the door for more. If she was going to throw that money away, she'd have been better off hiring a bodyguard.

Even the toughest gangsta threats come with a "I'll make it worth your while" clause. Something to incentivise them to choose the "not die horribly" option. He has still lost substantially more than he's received and, give or take the slim chance of him going crazy and seeking revenge, he won't be coming back, particularly since all the money he's been taking from Nagi is to fund his music career, which Nagi's secrets would destroy in an instant.

So....is it just me, or did pretty much nothing of any significance happen this chapter? Just: dude shows up, inconsequential thing happens, dude leaves. The most notable thing that happened was we found out that Nagi is a mafia princess, and even that was more or less an afterthought.

Chihiro stands up for her pet, which she certainly wouldn't have been able to at the start of the series. Nagi gets closure on a part of her dark past that she probably couldn't have done on her own. Scumbag gets put in his place and utterly humiliated. I'd say those are pretty significant things.
