Not to derail the hype train for the plot finally happening, but what was the reason for this whole brothel binge in the first place? She knew Mai as a kid right? Was there a reason given as to why she couldn't just call her mom or something?
I don't recall a reason being given (though it has been a while since I read from the beginning). I guess I just assumed she lost contact with Mai's family as well. It certainly wouldn't be the most unbelievable thing I've come across. People move, change phone numbers, etc.
edit: just double checked, chapter 1 says Mai's family moved away and Asumi's mom didn't know their new address. That'd be the reason.
