Toudou’s Girlboss/Girlfailure duality rizz is getting stronger each time she evolves! And what an adventure it is, seeing them trying to use a ferry and explore the world on their own is just bliss, character dynamic moments, getting to show everyone and what they’re all about.
Ive wondered what the
final panel here was about for years. Looks like I might finally be getting an answer?
Holy hell, that’s one heck of a callback! Mochi Au Lait isn’t the type to conduct these uncalled tragedies, so we’ll probably see that resolved sometime in the near future (or as near as it gets in the story arc, because we as the audience only get one chapter per month).
But like others have said, it’s just worrying that a person has been missing for two years straight. The only crazy theory I have for this insanity that can somehow tie things together, is either she‘s now an anomaly around the Inn, or she’s somehow responsible for the sex manipulation potion Toudou acquired from the start.
The longer this series goes on, the more I wonder when the shoe will drop and her past will come out.
She drugged and raped so many girls, and there was no comeuppance at all.
I know the series stopped being lewd and dropped all sexual stuff in the dodgeball arc, but this is a different character. And even if she changed and had character growth, at some point, someone needs to acknowledge the fact that she willingly drugged everyone with Tea. It makes these emotional moments, so weird to me.
I think it was established that every single girl (and man, since she actually managed to get the teacher she used to have a crush on to get in a gay dude relationship or something) remembers everything they did during the potion’s effects. So if consequences arise, she would have gotten it way before it happens. The fact that she’s here proves that the others have gotten over it.
I mean I would like to see the potion callback again at some point, either mentioned by a character or some kind of crisis pushing her to utilize its powers again, but for now we’re focusing on the character and story arc.
And it may just be a matter of different perspective, but I think it’s important to keep in mind that if we don’t count “drugging other girls” as the condition of “raping” … then she never raped anyone. If anything, every girl she managed to get on with before had their ways with her, and it’s been a long time before she actively pursued. I mean, how do you define “rape” when the supposedly mind-controlling device in every erotic Doujinshi ever actually makes the one taking it start to force the one delivering the potion into consent? Usually it just makes the person vulnerable and more subjective to others’ desires, but in this case, Toudou wasn’t interested in having sex most of the time before. The others were just … very greedy during the effects.
