I'm surprised at the stupid rendition of that corporal. Why would he have a problem with punishing a rapist? By doing so, he is also blowing his cover as investigator of the sergeants seriously problematic behavior.

People like him is why I would hope I'd have the courage to shoot him in the back of the head. If enough regular people did that to the a**holes and the sh*tty leaders, then mankind would be better off.

Exactly - people should google the Swedish product Svinto. That is the obvious choice for this sort of cleaning!!!

Did you see the animated gif on the last page (13/13) of vol 2 chapter 24? :D

Consider all the manga (or manwha) where a high school student is depicted as living alone, while parents are working (or whatever) abroad. Clearly Sayu could have been provided a life apart from her sick mother. The family company is shown to be rich and powerful, so it should even have been...

First - cultures will be cultures. They can change over time, but it usually isn't a fast process. Also, they aren't monolithic, so it's not like "this is how Japan is", but rather "this is a facet of how things might be viewed in some Japanese circles". I would recommend 3 films by Yasujiro...

The mother should actually have been sent of to some sort of psychiatric institution long ago. She's clearly needed help to move on from the abandonment, and in the absence of that, she took out her grief and anger on the daughter. And the brother isn't strong enough to do anything about it...

You're right, so far as it goes, but the risk is that the mother will fall back into old patterns, since she hasn't accepted (at least openly) that she was at fault, for not just abandoning her daughter, but actively mistreating her by laying the blame for the bad relationship of mother and...

Another reading is that (like he says, actually) he didn't want to start a family yet, based on his world view (when he was with Kanda). In that case, the thing does not become her call at all. Of course, if she wants to take the risk/wants to have a baby/doesn't mind using abortion as...

Sort of "exactly", but I'd say (in the case of Kanda) that she is saying he's wrong in living according to his own ethics/morals, just to get him to use hers. That's just insane. What sort of person has lived almost 30 years, only to then say "Oh, you think this is how I should think - then I...

I actually think Mishima is the female who tries to communicate the clearest with Yoshida. (Sayu is a different case, of course. As long as she doesn't tell Yoshida more about herself, nothing can happen, really.) The others are either trying to manipulate others, or hide behind seeming...

When you say say people shouldn't push themselves on others, that's partly fine, but the main problem is when information/knowledge/awareness isn't there 100% for everyone. In this case, Yoshida simply doesn't understand people around him (or himself, quite often). In such a situation...

THAT was a good translation.
