I agree... I get Sakoto's side, but ita super selfish to ask this of someone. I'd be pissed too, and whats up with that guy? Are they romantically involved? Looks one sided that love turned to hate thing seemed to have happened
Please a little louder to the people in the back ┗( T﹏T )┛
You explained it perfectly, I was pretty conflicted about it since Asagiri just burned Satoko's important paper bc of that old man, but ever since Satoko entered the brothel she felt so selfish to me, like, she's nice but she's willing to go home at the cost of others and not even feel guilty or realize it...
What she said:
Yall, we can still hate ppl even if they are complex characters. You all really be attacking ppl over how they feel. Kinda sounds similar to many cough*conservatives* to just name one. And honestly, me to, Idc how complex she is, right now she is annoying and it's okay to hate. I don't have to bring her whole character to judge her on the actions she's doing right now. That's why even if I disagreed I leave ppl alone or explain, but it seems the same level of peace or patience can not be said for yall. This is honestly the first time I've seen a comment section so hateful towards the readers.
Bye now
Wait, this comment replys?? I thought it was pretty calm...
Hey, I did see your comment and others like it, but nowhere did I attack you or others for your viewpoint. In fact, I didn't write this comment for/ because of you, I wrote it, because I enjoy this manga and I enjoy talking about it. I didn't mention anyone and the comment section was full of people disliking this character at the time of commenting, so this is a bit absurd to me.
With that said, some opinions are more valid than others."The Great Gatsby is about how the rich are better at partying, than the poor" and "The Great Gatsby is about how being upper class means, that you're connections or moral character will inevitably deteriorate and will never be genuine for as long as you are in that space" are both technically true, but one is more valid than the other.
I actually don't mind the comments disliking her at all. I don't think that the author did such a great job with her, that someone interpreting her differently is foolish. Plus, this story is ongoing. She could kick a puppy in the next chapter and alas, I'd be totally wrong about her character. Your comment is, however extremely annoying.
Comparing me to "a conservative" for *having a nuanced take on a fictional female character from a manga* is insane. Ignoring that those guys are usually those, who only want female characters to be an eye-candy, did you even think about what you said? That I'm the sort of person who wants to criminalize trans and gay people, for what, liking a character you don't like?
Dislike all the characters in the world if you like, I have no issue with that, but maybe don't call people names for no reason. Because that is what you did, call me names (i.e. attacked me lol) for commenting my feelings.
I'm not going to call you a conservative or anything else, because that's silly, as I can't deduce anything about your character from this short comment, and also, because I think forcing you to sit through this long ass comment is enough of a punishment for anyone haha
Idk man, I support women's rights and women's wrongs
Ok, ok, to expand on that, I find it difficult to dislike her. We, as the readers, are familiar with romance manga tropes and shoujo manga tropes, so our FL isn't really that strange to us. Fls are usually pretty naive in shoujo manga, even if it's not actually their character trait and just a plot device.
That's not the case here however, our protagonist is an extremely naive (even for a noble) shut off girl and the story constantly acknowledges it. And now, she finds herself in a place, where people can only survive by scheming and plotting.
Imagine this: You've spent most of your life in what is basically a brothel. Here, you are not a person, you are a merchandise. Everyday there are men coming and going trying to own you and your only choice is to stay valuable enough that no one can afford you. Your beauty comes with a time limit and with it does the power that gives you your freedom.
In the middle of this, a noble naive girl comes in, that (as far as you know) has been living in paradise all her life. She's effortlessly beautiful, yet she's surrounded by men who'd respect her no, and protect her anyway. She comes to you and asks you, to sell yourself, so that she can go back to her nice life as a noble. You make your living entertaining men, who'd buy your body if they could and have to listen to her demurely talking about her first love. And she wants you, to stick out her neck for her?
!!!HER, ASKING SATOKO TO HAVE SEX ISN'T WRONG OF HER, because Satoko basically told her the same thing. Satoko asked her to let herself be bought out (be forced to have sex) without thinking through what it'd imply, which makes sense, because this simply isn't Satoko's world. Satoko is kindhearted, but she's still a noble. Kissing the man she wants to marry is outrageous, but asking another woman to sell herself is not.
