[edit: spelling, punctuation and general cleaning up]
Glad to see the demand of blood. Will remember this chapter later and still be mad.
Diaclaimer: what follows is not entirely written towards the quote. I may have gone on a bit of a rant.
People are way too sensitive about cheating. I actually don't mind it...this series is pretty good.
I agree
I cannot understand. Do you mean being cheated on, being the cheater or both is wrong? i may be weird but discovering that i was cheated on and lied to for a number of months really cut deep. And when given the opportunity i always declined because it would mean breaking someone's trust and hurting them.
And if you meant for the story, that the cheating in the story was fine for the storyline; yes. Otherwise we have no story. But people empathise with the characters. More seem sympathetic towards the dad or the daughter because they have less relative control over the situation compared to the friend and mom. The cheating works for much of the first chapter because we see the mom's perspective and understood what it does for her. but there's more wrong with this situation than just cheating now we see through the daughter. The cheating is, though not the root cause, certainly exacerbating things.
This notion of the mother feeling neglected and she's cheating because, though the husband provides financial support, he gives nothing else. I have seen no evidence that the wife is any better. He goes to work, does his job, comes home (maybe goes out but in these examples he is sober and home early enough to see his daughter). She's doing a Fucking terrible job raising her child in a home where she cheats on her husband in front of her daugher with an underage child. Read that sentence again. He doesn't speak to her, compliment her or notice her? Did she even speak to him? Ask him how his day was? Say anything nice to or about him at all?
No. Their marriage has gone to shit not because of him but both of them. It was stable but unfulfilling. Not perfect but more than what a lot of people get. She wanted attention and the moment someone gave it to her, she let them do as they wanted.
Next, the love thing. The mother certainly doesn't love the girl which is besides the point. The child may be in love with the mother but it's the adult's responsibility to stop that. This whole notion of forbidden love is nonsense. It makes it sound more romantic than it should. 2 men/woman? 3 people? A harem? One man and his right hand? Who cares as long as it involves consenting adults. There are certain laws in place for damn good reason. Does a pedophile love a child? Maybe. doesn't make it fine even if it is love from both sides.
Lastly, that cliché end. Daughter is inlove with friend? I don't see where that was alluded to. the friend turns out to be a smug little bitch anyway. And finish it off with the worst bit of 'i'm rooting for you' crap. You're supporting the 'friend' that's only close to you now to get to your mom, who is cheating on your dad. You SUPPORT that? The girl you like nonetheless - though who knows why, the friends you were chatting with earlier were prettier and less bitch-like.
Sorry. I'll return to my cave now.
^^^^This ×100000000. Especially the part where her 'friend' is like "I'm fucking your mom and I bet you wish that were you" and I got so angry I got goosebumps Jesus that's so smug. The worst part is that we don't actually know how neglectful the husband because we never actually saw him so we can't make any assumptions. Cheating is never justified to me, especially not on the grounds that 'my partner isn't paying attention to me'. Obviously that's bad, but it takes two to dance, especially in this manga's case since we never saw the mother and father interacting and we don't know how much effort they each put in. But even if the husband is neglectful and a bad dude, that doesn't excuse Sayuri's undeserving smug attitude, ESPECIALLY after Daughter got mad about her mother not being nice to her. How far does your head need to be up your own behind to say that to someone who doesn't turn their nose up at your awful, toxic choices? She said she accepts you and you go and say something like that? I'm not saint, but I could never imagine saying something as awful as that to someone who embraces my faults and supports me regardless, especially if those flaws included dating my friend's married mom. Smh. Smh. Smh
