Kodama sensei is pointing out that the JP society is harsh towards women.
So in order to survive, they are forced to be bound with marriage and men.
Not that Gotou san did not attempt to find jobs to survive on her own, but the jobs that she tries to apply for didn't find her to be the suitable candidate for it.
Aside from that, reading CH01 , it seems that Gotou san wanted to have kids but couldn't.
Is there really no way of helping them to become what they want?
It's sad that this happens to them because they wanted but they couldn't.
Not that it's related to the story at all.
Been more than 3 months since the last update. Has the translator dropped this? Anyone know the status of the raws?
This one popped into my mind after seeing this Reddit thread on another upcoming manga about a cheating wife: https://reddit.com/r/yuri_manga/comments/1exr7p3/how_we_feeling_about_the_premise_for_irumas/
This is when it reminds me of the preface I read about "The picture of Dorian Gray" , where it says
"There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.
The moral life of man forms part of the subject-matter of the artist, but the morality of art consists in the perfect use of an imperfect medium.
No artist has ethical sympathies. An unethical sympathy in an artist is an unpardonable mannerism of style.
No artist is ever morbid. The artist can express everything.
Thought and language are to the artist instrument of an art.
Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril.
Those who read the symbol do so at their peril.
It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors."
Something something (yes, just reminded of, went and search the book and wrote parts of it)
But I think that's what I had on mind when I see people give their comments about the author's work.
So yes, aside from judging the book whether it will corrupt the person who reads it, I think people who appreciate the works of Hitoma sensei will still support sensei no matter how because, again, excerpt from the preface of "The picture of Dorian Gray", it goes
"Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things (created by the artist) are corrupt without being charming; and those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated.. something something.."
