Aisai no Ura Aka

[eren760]

I've been hitting on this for a while.
The first arc was Sousuke's negative character development arc. By believing in a lie that blinded him from the World, Sousuke ended up in a worse place than the one he started. Mainly, until the end, he believed Rika was "stolen" from him, so when he cornered Shingo, and we learn Shingo was approached by her, it finnaly showed what the truth was. She escaped and left him in a dire predicment.

This arc will be his positive character development arc, he will break the lie that's her image, and end up in a better place than the one he started with, with Iwabuchi being a potential stepping stone to that goal.

In both instances( this being also a conjecture of the current affairs), i see a DABDA like situation, where people underestimate Sousuke's mind. During Shingo's pursuit, Shingo thought Sousuke was in anger/denial. Iwabuchi MAY BE thinking Sousuke's bargaining for Rika's sake. In both instances, Sousuke's shown he's already past acceptance, and just wants closure. So maybe the party will shock him, but not affect him the intended way.

What's dabda?
Sousuke has to be ultra pro Max blind to not be able to see rika

What's dabda?

DABDA is an acronym for the five stages of grief: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance.

It's the image she has given him. The perfect, smiling wife, who always sets the positive mood in their house, caring mother, loves SNS, would never cheat...those sorts of things.

 

[Litreara]

Yeah, I feel like Rika is playing with Iwabuchi and he knows it. So the real question is, what is Rika trying to achieve by doing all this? What’s her endgame?

Chapter 73 dropped. She's back.

Spoiler

• Following the last chapter, Iwabuchi mocks Sousuke over how he meddled in an engaged couple's relationship, crushed his( Iwabuchi) heart and should die for it;
• Misato presses the Motorhome horn and says Sousuke isn't bad/in the wrong, if Rika did not tell him, there was no way of him knowing. If he did not know, that would make him innocent;
• Iwabuchi approaches her and say that, since he was somewhat also hurt by not knowing Rika was married, that would make him forgive him as well( sarcasm). He then proceeds to ask Misato if, in this scenario, if he had sex with Rika, it would be OK;
• Misato asks if the document is still valid in the first place, to wich Iwabuchi responds that yes, it's a public record. Then, when Misato counters by saying the blame would befall Rika, Sousuke asks her to stop, saying "it's enough";
• Sousuke Says that, from Iwabuchi's Point of View, his( Sousuke) relationship may be cheating, and he( Sousuke) can't prove he didn't know about the engagement. When Iwabuchi repeated that he should hang himself, Sousuke begins to talk...
• That it was Iwabuchi, the person who was in the video with Rika( the one she said she wanted to become pregnant with another man's child). According to Sousuke, Shingo said they always used contraception in every shoot he had with her;
• If she became pregnant, they wouldn't be able to shoot more videos. And when Sousuke asked him about her pregnancy, he said he didn't know about it. So Sousuke asks Iwabuchi if it's his( Iwabuchi)'s;

- Iwabuchi confirms he is the child's father;

• Sousuke thinks to himself that now makes sense, Iwabuchi is Rika's true lover, and his number one enemy;
• Sousuke then proceeds to say that, although unaware of the engagement, he( Sousuke) is her husband. From a direct view, Iwabuchi is the affair partner. Meaning, Sousuke should hang him by the neck;
• Iwabuchi laughs and asks what's he talking about, saying that he thinks they're similar and Sousuke will drag him down to hell as well( sorry problem with my understanding in htis part);
• Iwabuchi says he now understands Sousuke's personality and will take his leave. Sousuke tries to stop him and demands to see Rika and hear her side of the story, to wich Iwabuchi denies;
• Sousuke says that it's a couples talk, so he doesn't need Iwabuchi's permission, open the car door and doesn't find her, thinking she got away while they were talking;
• Iwabuchi then delivers a message from Rika. "It's still not the time to talk, but if he wants to talk no matter what, then go to this place", and delivers him a card, before departing himself with the car;
• Misato approaches Sousuke and asks if he's OK. Sousuke and her look at the card, seeing that's a couple invitation to a place called "Orgia Paradise";
• In the car, Iwabuchi asks Rika if she saw everything now, talking about Sousuke's face of regret for not finding her, and how awesome his face was;
• Emerging from the back seat, from a cover, Rika appears, now with a noticeable pregnant belly, saying that indeed, it was a nice face;
• Saying that Sousuke was so desperate to meet her he went to this place, she asks what would have happenned if he had indeed met her...while making a most sadistic lascivous face;
• Iwabuchi frowns and bite his lip while she doesn't notice. She then thanks him for coming this far for her( arigatou, iwabuchi-kun). He said it's not a problem, since it's easy and cheap money;
• Iwabuchi proceeds to say that, next, they( Rika and Iwabuchi) will meet him( Sousuke) in the party;
• It's there that his( Sousuke) heart will be crushed, and he( Iwabuchi) hopes it doesn't get to crumpled.

I just search what does "Orgia" meaning.. I must say that, I'm a bit afraid of this invitation to "Orgia Paradise"...

Did you read it all ?
I remember you asking if you should give it a try, how are you feeling RN?

Eh… I went through the raws. I don’t think it’s a pleasant read and I don’t think it’s meant to be, but it’s intriguing. I’m really curious to know what’s the deal with Rika.

What keep me reading all this mess is the image that if have in my mind of sousuke's final confrontation with Rika, what excuses and manipulations she will use to try persuade him and, obviously, the sweet downfall that we all are waiting for

 

[janakete]

In the end we had never known how Misato could approach Sousuke in Shinkansen in right time and make it look like coincidence. We had never known how iwabuchi got raw nude photo misato back then. Back to some prevous chapter, we also had never known how Rika swap/deleted content inside the SD card mori brought with his life. We had never known how rika known about mori obsession and without hesitation approach him and ask to made secret account . And so on.. a lot plot hole author not reveals in the end. Author not really give a fuck about detail the plot. Author goal just to made the emotional of story reach the readers. So, in orgy party next arc, that not impossible we may found akiba has been in leash of rika and rika force her to join in orgy with another character we had meet in PTA and Sousuke there focus besides take down iwabuchi he will be save akiba. In after that we found about the rika true goal and take down and revenge her. I had a quick read about MITA another work before. "Tokyo Neon Scandal". There has slight similarity how the MITA treat the story "Tokyo Neon Scandal" and "Aisai no ura aka". Interesting how Sousuke will drag rika into the hell, like what MC tokyo neon scandal doing to main antagonist there

Yeah, they'll probably try to emotionally trap him with a tactic in the orgy party. Probably Akiba and someone else known to him, to point out how much of a pawn he is, and how much controllable in the game is his position.

And the only counter he has is the same he did with Shingo: surprise Iwabuchi with the fact that he's already accepted Rika's behavior, is way past the broken point, and the blackmail against him can only reach so far with him caring. That's the only weapon he has that's actually a show of poetic/dramatic irony and somewhat character development.

It is clear that at the party they will try to break Soska emotionally. And it will probably happen in several stages. The first stage will be showing Rika's secret account, where there will be many videos with her participation. The men who starred in it will also be present at the party.
One of the stages will be the choice between Rika and Akiba. Here Iwabuchi will tell that Akiba betrayed Soska.
And the last stage will be the disclosure of the "truth" that Siho is not Soske's daughter. Soske will be ready for this stage because he will do a DNA test in advance, which will confirm that Siho is his daughter. Soska will show the result of the test, which makes Iwabuchi angry. This is the beginning of the fall of Iwabuchi.
After that, they will go to Rika, where it turns out that Rika is pregnant with Soska. This will infuriate Iwabuchi even more. After that, Rika will be given a choice for either Soska or Iwabuchi. Where Rika will choose Soska. In the end, there will be a dialogue between Rika and Soske, where they will tell why Rika has become like this. The reason will be trivial and related to Soske's actions at school. It will also be said that Iwabuchi, taking advantage of this, broke Rika in the same way as Misato.

Yah i also think shiho will be one of variable for Sousuke happy ending. After all betrayal and dishonest in this story. The truth Shiho is biological daughter of Sousuke, make she is the only thing Sousuke has who never betrayed him and always give him sincerity and support

If it turns out that Rika is pregnant with Soska, there will be no strong punishment for Rika. The most that will be a divorce. And seeing how Soska punishes everyone, I assume that he will forgive Rika as well. This will happen because one of the reasons why Rika became like this was related to Soske's actions.

Whoa, easy there! Slow down! Too much stuff happening in a short time( About 6 hours) span of an orgy party 😅


Sousuke has not been too much of a proactive character, but more of a reactive character. Having a DNA test ready before( as much logical as it sounds) really doesn't sound like him.


And also, just like Shingo, we can't point Iwabuchi as a culprit for "breaking" Rika. It may even turn out she was the one who approached him in the first place( again, just like Shingo).

However, "Rika became like this due to something Sousuke said/did to her during their school life"...it's cliche and stupid. And i like it. And seems aligned with how the story has been conducted so far, going as far a saying that it would be a "trigger" to her entire behavior( though we'll only know for sure after we learn her backstory).

No one broke her, stop with that bro, that would suck so bad, a psycho is born a psycho

What i have been learn from this story so far and MITA (the author) another work "Tokyo Neon Scandal". MITA seems always try to give a fair conclusion for the characters. Bad got bad karma, good got good karma. As we has been seen so far, every character doing awfull things with their own will, they got sousuke punishment, but not for Misato after we knows she doing it not because of her will, sousuke help and set her free. So i think if shiho is trully sousuke daughter, it will be good for sousuke and Shiho herself, but also i doubt as long as in this story Sousuke almost never brought up about shiho, maybe MITA will make this also as plot hole 😑. And because this reason also that a low chance Sousuke will forgive rika. Offcourse maybe we will be see Sousuke hesitation in this moment. but MITA will write something so all the readers will agree rika isn't deserve to be forgiven

I want to say that there will be no punishment for Ricky as such. I mean she won't be killed or anything like that. The greatest punishment is Soska's indifference. When Soske meets Rika at the end, he will say something like this with a face without emotions: "After you have fun here, come home, we have a serious conversation, I want to sue for divorce." These words will finish her off. As they say: the opposite of love is not hatred, but indifference.

That would not break a psycho like her, sousuke was acting cold and indifferent towards her since the BAR event, and he became even more cold when he saw the videos on the SD, he was acting so indifferent towards her that she had to come with that "if you are struggling to believe, you can make a DNA test" bullshit, sousuke's indifference may impact a little bit, what i really think will impact her is her own daughter indifference and disgusting looks towards her

Ricky's fall will happen only after she loses all her pawns. And most likely Iwabuchi will fall at the party, I think the police will come to it. We know that Sosuke has a recording of Iwabuchi blackmailing Misato. During the party, Rika will probably run away, because he will take care of meeting Soska. I think Ricky's fall will happen six months or a year after the party. She'll see Sosuke, Siho and Akiba having fun. Where Siho calls Akiba mom, or something like that.

Yap i agree. If we see how rika personality so far she look like will not easily down just because Sousuke being cold to her or anything Sousuke say. We need to know first what the true goal rika and what she's "weak point"
