Aisai no Ura Aka

[UdenEmpati]

Does the author really need to introduce a new character? Are there no two characters who can play this role? Terauchi and Morosato.

Do you also want to know why Rika trusts this subscriber? He could have appeared during a difficult period of her life, for example, when Rika lost Soske (student years). That would explain why Rika changed then. This man brought new impressions to Rika's life, he gave advice that brought Rika fun and pleasure. Rika may love Soska, but she can listen to another person.

But that's still 101 chapters with no hint or foreshadowing that such an event would transpire. And characters can only reprise multiple roles if it makes actual sense for them to embody both roles, so you'd have to make a convincing argument that someone in the story can also be an anonymous digital confidant for Rika in the manner you described.

And if Rika can have someone important aside from Sousuke, but she refuses to allow Sousuke the same, then she's a hypocrite and definitely a villain who deserves destruction in the end, because she's demanding something detrimental of the protagonist while claiming it's fine for herself. That level of imbalance is not congruent with a healthy relationship between them, at least, and she should lose Sousuke at the end as a result.

Terauchi is 4 years younger than Rika. If they met, and he did all that, during her college years, that means a 14 years old boy managed to screw the head of a 18 years old "within psycopathy spectrum" girl. To make matters worse, during her school years she was already plotting to backstab Misato. It's really out of the question.

As for Morosato Mitsuhiko, his only worth was getting along and comitting adultery with Higo Naoko. He's 4 years older than Rika, but his role is simply to be discarded from the list earlier on.

In both cases a change like coming out of the blue doesn't seem to reliable in storytelling. What i mean is: if said character does exist, they'll get shot down within her flashback, because it doesn't serve anything from her college years onward.

When did I say that Rika and her follower had sex? I only said that the subscriber could give her advice and thus manipulate her. Rika could communicate with the subscriber only through a social network, she could not even know who was hiding behind the identity of the subscriber.

[Kalimaman]

Where?

Here

Are you OK?!
Where, in any of this sentence, is there ANYTHING remotely close to imply any sort of sexual relationship?!

Could it be a translation issue, maybe? "screw the head" is similar to "messing with the head", andd somehow the translator pointed you to "screw = sex"?

[Litreara]

I'm kinda out of words... This is just so... meh. And is Rika really playing the "I'm gonna kill myself if you leave me" card? Gonna check out the Japanese readers' comments.

 

[Jhon1617]

I hope Rika commits suicide, let's see if she has the guts, and I hope Sousuke doesn't fall for her manipulation.

 

[Kalimaman]

Summarry in instants, but out of the blue, there's already one important thing happening on this chapter: the account partially fits Rika's perspective, but it does not fit her side of the story. There's still something she's not letting go publicly.

 

[janakete]

So, the truth isn't really difficult to understand in the end.
Rika is loveless > found a good man (Iwabuchi) but he is to possessive > she remebered a person opposite with him and also like her, (Sousuke) > She choose give all her love to Sousuke and wanted to feel love back no matter how dirty and bad her.

The story jump 8years. From their married then meet with mori. But i litterally agree sometimes a good story don't need to told everything.

That mean stream ura aka is just like a medium to her feel love from Sousuke. Then what will Sousuke do ? As we know Sousuke couldn't accept about another side Rika, but his d*ck told different 😌

Would my feeling about the end become true ? 🗿

but i always get the feeling Sousuke and Rika will back together in the end

Remember Rika had said the ura aka bussiness has been fulfilled the purpose, and she end that with pregnant with Sousuke child. i think that mean Rika wouldn't doing any further after all this. So i think, in the end she doing it all just to test Sousuke and fulfilled her "ultimate love".

Also i think this chapter told Rika is not did it (sex) than with mori, because if she did without Sousuke known it that not meaning for her.

So what do you think maybe that is ?

For me this flashback is enough, and for breaking this state need 3rd person join. I think akiba should join this conversation and cornered Rika even more. Made her realize about all have been she did it just a crime not love

I'm writing the summary, in case anyone wants to read it later on, but basically: this account telling just partialy shows Rika's perspective in an attempt to make her look simpathetic. Misato's blackmailing( which is also the reason Rika started dating Iwabuchi) was dismissed entirely, and that's just a little part from what i've seen.

And Sousuke probably will remember all talks from Misato, Sena, Mitsuri, Tsutsumi and Megumi and will say Rika's suicide threat is bullshit.

Or, he will about Shiho and the unborn child too

Here are some comments from Japanese readers:

まさか…そんな底の浅い話…なのか？…マジか？

---

Don't tell me... Is it really something that shallow...? Seriously?

---

回想で同情の余地が入るかと思いきや さらっと売春のくだりが流されて より理解の範疇を超えた動機になってて草

---

I thought the flashback would give us some reason to sympathize with her, but instead, the prostitution part is just casually glossed over, making her motives even harder to understand. Lmao.

---

結論：リカはただの変態でした

---

Conclusion: Rika was just a pervert.

---

やっぱりやりまくってたのか…残念

---

So she really was sleeping around after all... What a shame.

---

シホが全く出てこない。少なくとも母じゃないよリカ

---

Shiho doesn't show up at all. At least you're not like your mother, Rika.

---

ヤバい、最終回近そう。
終わってほしくない。
リカちゃんもっとがんばれ〜

---

Oh no, it feels like the final chapter is coming soon.
I don't want it to end.
Keep going, Rika-chan! You can do it!

---

もう、そんなん知っても戻れんよ…
そんなん愛じゃない…

---

Geez, even if you know that now, you can't go back...
That's not love...

---

今まで好き勝手やって裏切ってたのに全てバレたら死を盾にするのはズルいぞリカ

---

You spent all this time doing whatever you wanted and betraying everyone, and now that everything's been exposed, you're using your own death as a shield. That's not fair, Rika.

---

リカの愛情表現は、ある意味凄い癖だと思った。

秋葉先生に対する行動は完全に僻みと嫉妬からの復讐だったのは間違えない！

一緒に食事した時は最終警告だったのだろうね。

ソウスケはどの様にリカの最後の言葉に対応するのか？

結局、森シンゴはソウスケを試すコマだったと言う事が分かる内容でした！

---

I thought Rika's way of expressing affection was quite an unusual fetish, in a sense.

There's no doubt that her actions toward Akiba-sensei were entirely driven by resentment and jealousy, as a form of revenge!

I suppose the meal they shared was her final warning.

How will Sousuke respond to Rika's final words?

Ultimately, this chapter made it clear that Shingo Mori's role was to test Sousuke!

---

同情はないだろうか
ラストの発言も嘘だろうなぁ
かなり狂ってる。

---

Is there really no reason to sympathize with her?
Her final statement was probably a lie, too.
She's seriously messed up.

---

どんなに堕ちても、愛してくれると思いたかったのだろうか…

---

There is no curse more twisted than love.

---

実質的には開き直ってるようにしか聞こえない…「これからも浮気や不倫するけど、ソウスケ君は常に私だけを観て、一途に愛して！」…もうね…豆腐の角に頭ブツケて成仏して下さい。

---

Honestly, all I hear is her doubling down... 'I'll keep cheating on you and having affairs, but you, Sousuke-kun, have to keep your eyes on me alone and love me faithfully!' ...Seriously... Just bang your head against the corner of a tofu block and go rest in peace.

---

リカちゃん、愛を浮気エッチでしか感じられないなんて虚無だよ。
いくら家庭環境に問題が有ってもソウスケ裏切ってやりまくってたらそりゃ～
終るよ…ソウスケの決意は…
どうするのかな？

---

Rika-chan, it's so empty that the only way you can feel loved is through cheating and sex.
No matter how troubled your family background was, if you kept betraying Sousuke and sleeping around, of course things were going to end...
What about Sousuke's resolve...?
I wonder what he'll do now?

---

リカも大概だけど…高校生ソウスケ、それで…タツんかい（笑）結婚までの展開早すぎて…理解出来ん。この夫婦。

---

Rika is pretty messed up too, but... Sousuke was still in high school, and he got... hard from that? (lol) The story rushes through everything leading up to their marriage way too quickly... I just can't understand this couple.

---

ざまぁ展開で終わらてほしいなぁ

---

I really hope she gets what's coming to her in the end.

---

ソースケもリカも自己否定する癖が強いのが共通してる。
ソースケは自分の良さを自覚出来ず、短所にばかり意識が向いて、劣等感を持ってる。
リカは他人から愛された経験がないから、嫌われる事や、性的な魅力で他人から注目を集める以外に術を知らない。
汚れてるという、悪い事をしてる本音から目を逸らしてる。ホントはこんなことしたくなかった。ただ愛されたかっただけ。
シホに自分が親にされた事と同じことをしなかった。そこに答えがある様に思うがね。

---

Sousuke and Rika have one thing in common: they both have a strong tendency to put themselves down.
Sousuke is unable to recognize his own good qualities. He focuses almost entirely on his shortcomings and suffers from an inferiority complex.
Rika has never experienced being loved by someone, so she doesn't know any other way to attract people's attention than being disliked or relying on her sexual appeal.
She keeps telling herself that she's become 'tainted,' turning a blind eye to the fact that she's actually doing something wrong. Deep down, she probably feels that she never really wanted to do any of this. She just wanted to be loved.
The fact that she didn't do to Shiho what her own parents did to her seems to hold the answer, in a way.

Okay, pause. This is some serious coping. "Deep down, she probably feels that she never really wanted to do any of this." Rika was literally sex trafficking people. Give me a break.

---

マジで予想通りの真相だったからガッカリ

---

Honestly, I’m disappointed because the truth turned out exactly as I expected.

---

早く正妻のところ行こうぜ

---

Let's hurry up and go see the rightful wife.

---

毒親とのやり取りが、中途半端？

---

Wasn't the whole thing with her toxic parent a bit half-baked?

Yep.

---

汚れた自分でも愛してくれるかを試していたってのは分かるし、死ぬしかないってセリフもカシスの花言葉が伏線になってるんだが…

感じたことがない未知数の“愛”になぜそこまで拘ってるのかの理由付けが一切ない
おまけに買春させてたってだけなら村人普通に話してくれるだろ

このままでは自分が愛を感じる為なら周りを不幸にしても、自分の子どもが不幸せでもOKなただのメンヘラ女の浅い話になってしまうな

---

I understand that she was testing whether he would still love her even if she became tainted, and that the line about having no choice but to die was foreshadowed by the language of flowers associated with cassis, but...

There's absolutely no explanation for why she's so obsessed with this unknown concept of 'love,' something she's never even experienced.
On top of that, if all she did was arrange for people to buy sex from her, the villagers would probably just talk to her normally.

At this rate, the story risks becoming a shallow tale about a woman who's simply mentally unstable and thinks it's perfectly fine to make everyone around her miserable, even her own child, as long as she can feel loved.

---

死ぬしかないよな…(社会的に)

---

She has no choice but to die... (in the social sense).

---

ずっと不貞妻のせいって勘違いしてたけど、ソースケ学生の頃からの性癖やんか 笑
なんかソースケとリカって同類感あるし、たしかに先生といっしょになったところで幸せなれんくない？
まあ先生もだいぶ異常だけど

---

I always thought it was all because of his unfaithful wife, but Sousuke's had that fetish since he was a student, hasn't he? lol
Somehow, Sousuke and Rika seem like they're cut from the same cloth. And honestly, even if he ended up with the teacher, could he really be happy?
Well, the teacher is pretty messed up herself, too.

---

なんてこった

---

Good grief...

---

体のバランスどうなっとるんや…
１コマ目のソウスケの手、玉壺やん

---

What the hell is going on with the body proportions...?
Sousuke's hand in the first panel looks like Gyokko.

Yess i also think like that, but i choose to accept what author serve 😌 and i think that is enough, because sometime good story don't need told everything.

Hmm about make her look sympathetic i'm not trully agree, because from begining that ura aka mean not to be found by anyone. So that no merit to make her look sympathetic. Instead with that ura aka, it's a clever way to told about Rika's true felling and told Sousuke she is trully love him. Because if the flasback just as ussually in character mind then Rika just told Sousuke that she is trully love him i feel that would be so lame and Sousuke just answer that also a lie

Except if the ura aka is also part of Rika plan and she let it to be found by Sousuke. But we are in the close with the end i think it hard to think if this is another layer of her plan 🤔

 

[Kalimaman]

Chapter 102 summary

Spoiler

• The chapters starts back at the reteling, with Rika saying that her first impression of Sousuke was just "an ordinary person". No humor, not entertaining, nothing aside from being a "pretty boy". For her, who had already joined the world of adults, he was a boring companion. That's why, even if noticing his kind attemps, she kept brushing him off;
• That's why, one day( when forgotting her phone), she manages to see him on the classroom, practicing talking to her. Even though she always brushed him off, he was still there, practicing talking to her, and taking all his guts in an attempt to do it. Most people would find it gross, bu since she doesn't understand what love is, but at that moment, she felt a thrill through her;
• But that was the end of it. She became a college student and started dating Iwabuchi(with Iwabuchi's dialogue implying a woman sold for a good price). At the time, she was desperate to feel love, so she started scouting men, and Iwabuchi was the top contender, maybe he would instill ove into her...but she still wasn't fulfilled;
• When arriving home one day, her mother says she heard about Rika involving her classmates in prostitution, with people start calling their house "whore's house" as a result. When trying to explain, her mother says it's useless, and to never see her face again. Rika asks when did she heard it, and her mother says their neighbors told them just yesterday. Rika asks her mother if she ever loved her, to which she answers no. She's also moving away, without telling Rika where, and to not go looking for her;
• She thanks her mother and leaves. She wonders why she herself can't feel love. So, calling Iwabuchi abruptally, she thinks he's not her father or mother. And even knowing she's a piece-of-shit woman, he still loved her. And it's only in those moments she's able to feel loved. That's when she decided, if it means to feel love, she'll stoop to anything, no matter how dirty or vile;
• As she wants to be loved by Iwabuchi, they begin intercourse...but Iwabuchi can't get hard, remembering Rika talking with a guy from college, but another time, surely he...but on her mind, she understands that Iwabuchi is very sensitive when it comes to someone touching what belongs to him. It's not enough. Until...
• Sousuke appears to her, again. At the time, she remembered that, once, she saw it. In their high school years, once, when he was talking to her, a classmate appeared and invited her to an arcade. And simply because said classmate asked her out, Sousuke became hard. So maybe, this person could love every version of her;
• She rented her parents, and even when they're fake, she's still sleeping with other men around. It went on until she approached Shingo to make Momonga. In her thoughts, she asks Sousuke to truly love her, no matter how soiled she becomes. This is the only way she can feel truly loved. As she keeps repeating, over and over how much she loves him, we see her standing outside the bathroom's door, when he was watching Momonga, saying that, no matter how much stained and sullied she becomes, she stills wants to be loved by him;
• Back at the present, in Sousuke's thoughts, he's perplexed that Rika loved him so much. Rika says that, yes, that's her secret account. With that, she's going to lose everyones favor;
• Chapter ends with her saying she has no choice but to die.

 

[Wyrm666]

So, "True Love" for Rika is a cuck. Deep.

 

[Wyrm666]

Rika could find True Love by pulling a rando out of r/netorare....
