I’ve been rereading the ln recently and wondered how the manga was going bc I remembered it adding in stuff but….this is just a completely different story???? wtf??? I get that the ln takes a much darker turn especially in volume 3 but that’s what makes it GOOD especially the parts covering violette’s complex relationship with her gender & body as a result of the abuse she endured from her mother and yet…this “adaptation” seems to be flattening those parts while adding in more parts for Claudia (who very wisely GIVES UP in ln3 aka around where the updates for this manga are at) and adding in love triangle drama for the sake of it??? if the light novel is violette’s story as a survivor of what was essentially csa then this manga is,,,a poor imitation of a romantic drama…just read the light novel it’s officially licensed and the translation is complete and you can definitely find it on like, zlib
so at this point you should know that her mother was absolutely obsessed with her father yeah? and that when violette was younger she was essentially raised as a boy because she looks so much like him. put two and two together, and you have this hellish environment where violette was being subjected to her mother’s…fantasies, shall we say. the ln never quite goes into the extent of the abuse, but it was enough to scar both violette AND Marin (who was just a witness a few handful of times) for life. its never elaborated as to how far bellrose went either, but violette was definitely not able to wear short sleeves because of her mother’s nails. even if it never went further than her face and arms I would argue it’s still molestation and thus csa and of course it was 1000% emotional incest
