Glad this breakup didn't get dragged out in a volume-long misunderstanding as most of these situations do.

Oh Sorawo you complete idiot....

I forgot how.... nice this was to read. Not that the subject matter isn't heavy or anything, but something about the way things are framed and written works so perfectly well for me.

I hope the author can catch a break, though. As someone who has also been struggling with mental health for a long, long time, I really wish there was ... well, anything anyone could do, really.

Oh god Ema please don't resign yourself to this being all you're going to get, augh.

She's awakening!

I too like tall women~ (Are most women also taller than me, yes.)

Author knows what's good

How come "a lesbian hostess is a scam"? Isn't it still just empty compliments for those guys anyway? Or because now there is no chance of hooking up? Even if the woman is straight, do they for real believe they can pull her on? While having to pay her so she can give them a few minutes of atention, she would still be lying about liking them clients

I feel like this is the same kind of dynamic as with idols. They can't date even off-show because their fans live in a delusion, and their company sells that delusion rather than just the concerts.

It’s crazy how quick people are to label a woman as a villain for having a messy relationship. The possibility of a sort of psuedo beard type relationship with her husband is tantalizing, but seems unlikely. Ema was in love with Takara as a kid but got abandoned out of nowhere during a time when she was the only person who Ema could open up to, which left her alone and adrift while dealing with her shit mom.

Hario comes into the picture as someone who is kind to her and willing to support her, and he offers her a way away from her horrible mom and is able to “protect” her from her mom in some ways. They got married when they graduated college and then there was a decade or more until she reunited with Takara. Even if she’s a lesbian who never felt love for Hario, they still have a decade of marriage together and that whole time presumably he was her support to stand against her mom and have freedom.

Of course she’s still relying on him while also behaving ambiguously with Takara! She’s got basically no fucking support network outside of her husband, and now suddenly her childhood friend who she’s in love with too! Clearly she’s still not in a place where she can just say “I’m gonna change everything around me and leave behind the husband who cherishes me and who I’ve become dependant on for the last decade”. That’s not how any of this works.

And to put it in simple terms, none of this is her fault, she did the best she could in the situations she was forced into, and it just so happens that she’s gotten into a really difficult set of relationships because of it.

Yea reading some of the other posts here is absolutely wild.
