Interesting premise. Very interesting.

 

[Lucas852m]

I guess they don't have roles for older women characters anymore then, uh?

 

[19801980]

Interesting, though the ending is super bittersweet—still, it’s actually quite good in the end.

 

[Rezael]

Ohhh this one looks interesting.

Also I could be reading too much into it but why do I feel like the best friend also chose choice 2 despite what she said

 

[KatouEgao]

The burden of expectations...

nothing says people who chose Course II can't also go on to be actors, though I guess with how seemingly-superficial people are portrayed around the idea of youth and beauty this early in, maybe it's become the norm that Course I is the only way to access those sorts of careers.

Perhaps our protagonist here will have a part in changing the perceptions of those around her. (though I haven't read the source material, so.)

I understand idol career requiring the choice I since idols irl already have short careers but for acting it seemed very weird from everyone around MC expecting her to go with the first choice as if female roles for older characters don't exist anymore

More like "do you want to be Japan's ideal for magazines or a baking factory?", the only emphasis is on pregnancy right now.

Seems interesting. Would you live forever 18 (till 45) or live normally twice longer?

I get that it's because of the social commentary, but is there any in-universe reason why this is only for women? Is it just some quirk of the anti-aging drug that makes it not work on men?

The inventor had a salt-and-pepper fetish.

They mentioned that the drug developed from one that was made to extend the range of womens fertility, so it wasn't made to be compatible with men originally. It's wierd that they haven't been able to develop one for men later, but it's possible that it's just too hard to rework it to work for men.

It also could be because there isn't as much sociotal pressure for men to stay "young and beautiful," so they just haven't put as much urgency to develop it.

It's funny to me because I feel like i peaked in looks at like 26 lmfao

I looked like a straight up child at 18 so I can't imagine picking course 1. Id ask them if I can decide later lol
