I quite enjoy this series but I dont like that she lied about what the shoot would entail, promised they would not be shown, and then gives the photos out to others. If a lover shared your sex photos they promised to never show others you'd dump their ass.

The manager didn't lie. She said the photos would be for private use (i.e. not being marketed), but she didn't say whose private use. The whole photo shoot is still morally grey, since it's abusing authority to pressure Asumi into an uncomfortable situation, but Asumi wasn't too uncomfortable for long so it's okay to me. I like to think that if Asumi really disliked it and wanted the photo shoot to stop, it would've.

Asumi will be pressured into prostitution at this rate.

@echoblaze Maybe she didnt technically lie- but Im sure asumi thought she meant just for the people there.. not given out to others- even if not 'sold' publicly en mass.. Hiding them behind her back as she did tells me they didnt want her to know about it.

Holy shit, I have no idea what to think of this chapter. It's so many layers of both amazing and shady at the same time.

Yeah I'm with you on this one. Even if she technically didn't lie, it's still lying by omission.

I still enjoy the series, but I didn't like the lack of consent in this chapter. Just because Asumi ended up enjoying the photoshoot doesn't make it not shady.

And yeah yeah fiction is fiction, and I myself do read all the hard-core and morally wrong stuff all the time, but I think I just don't like how they're portraying it as something that is okay to do and that it's no biggie. The first two chapters were really wholesome, consensual experiences so ch 3 just came out of left field for me.

What Asumi-chan needs to start doing is asking at least some questions. But I guess if she did, we would have already been done.

With that in mind, this series definitely requires a certain level of suspension of disbelief to be enjoyed. You more or less have to accept, that this world works on something close to hentai logic.

y'know, i'm thinking that if asumi just said she needed money to hire sex workers... it's not a given that it wouldn't have worked

some women just want to give money to their favourite little hornball

Poor Asumin, but she must keep trudging on!

Asumi is such a chick magnet, cant do anything without being hit on, as long as she gets paid I guess.

This just falls into the creepy hentai trope of as long as they climax or seem to somewhat it enjoy then anything is fine. Not really an enjoyable chapter at all.

Same. It made me uncomfortable.

It looked like a basic NTR hentai, where a girl is led to a "photoshoot", then raped on site by several old men and they keep the video to blackmail her.

But in a "good" hentai, she ends up liking it and her s/o is shown the video.

It plays a little bit too much into the Japanese tropes that lesbians are somehow horny all the time and are sleeping around.

I'd warrant that 90% of lesbians in Japanese media are schoolgirls in denial about their own feelings who couldn't make a confession if their lives depended on it, and the remaining 10% are depressed OLs who fester in heteronormative workplaces and either cry themselves to sleep at night or frantically conceal their one existing relationship. There are barely any manga that demonstrate lesbians hitting up bars, sleeping around with random chicks and flouncing off in the morning with zero angst about the road not taken. If anything, Japanese media seems intent on veiling lesbians behind tons and tons of ambiguity, or fetishizing them for straight men. This manga is one of the few works I've seen that actually represents lesbians enjoying active sex lives instead of waiting for that one perfect relationship that lasts throughout adulthood and old age. As skeevy as the implications in this chapter might've been, I'd argue that this series as a whole is an important work, because it shows intelligent, adult women enjoying sex without being actively pornographic. It's not pure yuri (ugh) or a tribbing exhibition for dudes, but a work that puts women foremost and emphasizes their freedom to indulge in casual sexual pleasure. I'd say we need tons more stuff like this and Shuninta's I Wouldn't Mind Being Loved.

This is going to end with Asumi and her childhood friend running a lesbian sex club together.

I wasn't talking about manga, but about the perception Japanese people at large, even outside of media, have of lesbians. See note at the bottom here: https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/liberty_ch15#5

It's not specific to manga. It's a more general stereotype.
