Asumi-chan wa Les Fuuzoku ni Kyoumi ga Arimasu! - Vol. 8 Ch. 33

[raineight]

Ostensibly Mai is still the Reason for all this. Asumi is doing this Top Training Arc specifically so she can top Mai.

Which yes is crazy porn logic, but hey.

I didn’t realize that Serina from chapter 7 also has a corporate job, but also works for brothel as well?? How much of debt is she under ? Or is the brothel a side hustle? If so then it’s one hell of a side hustle!!

I like that so many people are on board with the poly ending here. Usually the comment section is full of people who can't imagine anything other than a monogamous outcome. I suppose it's thanks to the unconventional nature of this story, which also makes a poly ending more plausible to begin with. I suppose the pressure to conform to societal expectations is a bit lower when the story already involves a cast primarily made of prostitutes.

Just from a purely logical standpoint, anything other than a poly/harem *ending would be nonsensical.

And not even from a "but I wanted my fave to win" type of sentiment, but simply in terms of what Asumi's even doing here.

Asumi's a dumdum, though a loveable one--but she's not doing any of this out of romantic love for Mai, or any other woman.
And they all know what she's like. Even if Asumi does figure out romance and that three other woman (so far) do love her, it's not like she can just...stop doing what she's been doing.

Suddenly forcing Asumi to give up what is becoming a core facet of her character just to implement a monogamous pairing would kinda defeat the purpose of her entire journey up to this point, to me.

Is this really going to end with a harem? I'm down for that, and I'm sure Asumi won't mind either.

Yessss, my favorite girl Serina is back and her love for Asumi has finally exploded! She kept her call girl side job just for her so they could meet again, I'm glad to see she finally decided to move forward and pursue her love without reservations or constraints. Serina was already one of the few girls that had sex with Asumi outside of work. Now it's on our adorable but black hole dense MC how to move forward with her romantic harem.

I think the reason is also that there was emotional depth and cause and effect on these characters that made readers have emotional stakes in their story conclusion, which is why the “everyone deserves to be happy” sentiment is well deserved. Sure, the protagonist being her air head horny self is one thing, but she also isn’t a bad or malicious person. It is her activity at the end of the day and she isn’t hurting others. People support her topping training, people like her as a person. And we like the side characters. It’s so weirdly wholesome because no one is like a total villain, so while this isn’t the norm, I think as this manga proves, it is possible to get more people supporting harems. Because they’re good people.

the part that threw me at first is that there is no villain in the story.
once I squared that with myself, it all clicked and started making more sense and became actively enjoyable.
I think harem/poly endings are great when they make sense for the story being told and the characters therein--it's also just not always the case, I'd argue, that a poly ending is justified by the events of the narrative.

Here, though? There's no other way it makes sense, and it's not only because there's no villain/antagonistic force within the narrative. But the premise itself and the core aspects of the protagonist's interactions with the rest of the cast hinge on her being physically intimate with everyone else who's named in the series, to some degree.
Because that's a hard and fast rule, coupled with the fact that no other character is shown as getting jealous or possessive of the protagonist sharing intimacy with someone else, it would feel more jarring to suddenly introduce jealousy or possessiveness into any of the cast. It'd be throwing out their established characterization in favor of instilling drama that hasn't existed to now, and it would feel so contrived as to ruin the experience otherwise.
Up until now, it's just wholesome lesbian porn based around a woman making friends and (non-romantic) lovers out of sex workers. She's going at it all in a wholesome and non-malicious manner, as you stated, and no one is being hurt by her actions. If that were to change now, the entire tone of the series would shift, and it might as well be a different series at that point.

Actually, I will say that there is a villain in the series, and that is Asumi's ignorance of romantic love. But I say that tongue-in-cheek, and I do think it will be one of the 'big arcs' of her character that will come into play, likely after her Topping Training journey, wherein she ends up back at Mai and they have a Round 2 (or I guess Round 1 Redux).
And even at that point - I think a harem/poly ending makes the most sense. Maybe Asumi has a core partner or set of partners, but I think it's been well-established that she's not going to cease visiting the women she's met up to this point. Given they're all involved in the same general industry in some capacity anyway, there's no reason to believe most of them would cease, either. So Asumi becomes the axis upon which they all reside, and she simply spends her time with all of them and they all end up with her.

Maybe some retain an exclusively-physical relationship with Asumi, and some enter into an emotionally-active relationship as well. I think both have their merits, and showing that spectrum in this series and validating that spectrum is a good thing. But I just can't imagine any of the cast introduced thus far gets written out in favor of something "conventional", because that's one word I would say never applied to this series to begin with.

 

[Valle_reading_manga]

Asumi has it tough too huh

---

And so it begins

Asumi might just end up being the cause of the biggest lesbian brothel staff shortage in history

---

It's more like a reflex rather than a habit at this point

Thanks for the upload!
