Save Your Fingers

But it still feels unsettling you know?

Not really because it happens all the time. Majority of people are putting themselves in the wife's shoes and sympathizing her. Look at her clearly at the end of this chapter, she doesn't look bothered and she seems to know what is going on.

I dont think cheating happens all the time - but I disagree with you as I find this unsettling

Actually you're wrong. In reality, people cheating on each other does happen all the time. You'd be surprised and run away crying if you only knew how often these kinds of things happen (to both men and women).

The person is stating that cheating is common in a lot of stories and real life. It's not that unnerving. The person isn't wrong...millions of people cheat on their spouse. They didn't say it was good or bad, majority of us believe that cheating is bad...just more commonly done in society.

Uhhhh mate I don't think I'll "run away crying" alright - cheating doesn't happen all the time - that is partially true - I think you're trying to say it happens "often" or "regularly" not "all the time" which is debatable depending on the countries we are talking about - Since this manga takes place in Japan - its a pretty conservative country from the looks of it so I would assume something extreme like cheating doesn't happen as often in other countries like the west

Wrong again. A lot of people assume that because a country may 'seem conservative' that things like cheating don't happen there. The only difference with Japan is that they do not always talk about their private lives to others and that their way of thinking is different which goes for most Asian countries and for them what westerns may consider cheating may not be considered cheating to them etc. Don't let the word conservative fool you.

There was this video I watched about Japan and cheating and you would be very surprised that the majority of the people that were questioned cheated on their partner or some did not consider it cheating or the person was outed by their best friend(s). Japan and other Asian countries cheat just as much as the west. Cheating happens all over the world. Asians I would assume just knows how to keep their dirty laundry hidden.

Ah how interesting

I see it more like, Akitora’s cheating but that’s how yakuza guys are. Like usually yakuza guys see women as status and having lots of them is no shame. That’s how they are and that’s what yakuza wives expect from their yakuza husband. We can’t judge their morality the same way ordinary people do.

↑By the way, I’m Japanese and I think I’m more familiar with the image of goku-zuma(yakuza wife) than most. Their mentality is a bit different from most women in Japan. And also I’ve seen the raw for the next chapter, and she seemed to be the yakuza wife who has it all figured out. I have a lot more to say about this, but it would be spoilers, so I’ll stop here.

Thank you Anonymous person. Yakuza have plenty of mistresses for sexual release. And I'm not implying that cheating is bad or good, it IS common, but I'm not taking a stance on the morals. I literally said, "save your fingers", yet here people are typing away-
Yes, it can feel unsettling at first to see that Rogi is just walking out butt-naked to greet what happens to be Akitora's wife and young son, but it wasn't intentional. Also, Akitora's wife probably already knows about it, I'm sure she heard about the bounty, and Akitora's right hand man might have told her. But the whole point was just to clear that up and move on, not start an education of the complexities of human relationships and how there is no "standard". No matter what your sexual orientation, there are power dynamics, methods of communication, and levels of intimacy to be considered. Boundaries. I'm sure people will always see both sides of the current situation for as long as new people read the story.
