Shin'yuu no Otto wo Ubatta no wa, Watashi deshita - Ch. 2

[MangaDex]

 

[gum_rummy]

The existence of straight women is proof that sexuality is not a choice.

 

[NeverAnother]

MAN! The author really knows how to make you sympathize for a character but still not forgive them.

 

[Rewdy]

Cool backstory, still doesn't redeem you for taunting your friend

 

[HawkGoggles]

hmmm all of those friends and people she knows might have just been her. Just like your classic rom-com heroine. "so, about my friend"

 

[Justking14]

Cool backstory, still doesn't redeem you for taunting your friend

Well, we’ve still got nine chapters to go lol

 

[Vicic]

Turns out Rio is the author self-insert

 

[Miskatonic81]

It's not trying to redeem her. She's making so many mistakes, like not divorcing Itsuki. She's deeply flawed. It's just showing us why.

 

[aa11bb]

idc about the spoilers, but does the ending have the answers to what happened to Rio in Chapter 50?

 

[FiddlePop]

While writing Rio's husband, I subconsciously made him more and more like my ex as the story progressed.

The author doesn't stop dropping the afterword nukes

Also "as the story progressed", this is just chapter 2.

 

[BobBob]

RIP the author, damn. Wild how Rei exhibiting basic human kindness instantly criticaled Rio. Itsuki destroying her belongings is pretty unhinged.

 

[Vmpslushie]

Damn. What a psycho.

- reads author's note

Shit! He's real!

 

[RakshaJaeger]

Da hell you choose to stay with a dude who cut a dress cuz u didn’t want to wear it I hope author left asap when that shit happened irl to her

 

[Deoxyribo9]

Man I'm worried about the mangaka's social circle. I just hope things are better now.

Rio gave her reason in the chapter.

You would be amazed what humans will put up with if they have some semblance of perceived stability and comfort.

Not to mention possible social and societal stigma. Shit is different HERE AND NOW in the US, but to assume it applies universally is very naive. It wasn't that long ago that a response to your husband beating you would be, "Maybe you did something wrong" or "Maybe he had a bad day and was stressed" and truly heinous things like marital rape were only made illegal in the early 90's.

 

[Lucas852m]

Author-san are you ok?

 

[EulBassist]

Thanks for the chapter!

Also "as the story progressed", this is just chapter.

I think she means Itsuki got progressively more unhinged from what she had intended at the start of Mahoro's story.

Not to mention possible social and societal stigma

Especially since, as Rio says, Itsuki appears to be the perfect husband. Nosebleed mentioned this in the first chapter, but Itsuki is very intentional in his abuse/manipulation such that to the outside world a divorce would 100% read as her fault and therefore basically impossible to get w/o Itsuki's consent.

 

[ghostkun]

I would have just watched him cut it up and shrugged, "suit yourself, dumbass, i didn't pay for it lol what a drama queen."

and then presumably be broken down over several months of psychological torture if i'm reading itsuki correctly.
