Asumi-chan is Interested in Lesbian Brothels! - Vol. 8 Ch. 32

[Eija]

oh thank god somebody told her tops are allowed to cum too so soon, was getting on my nerves already lol

 

[Manko-sensei]

I hope no one suggests her something like "you can try working in the industry to improve your skills with a training program, you'll get paid for that so you won't need a part-time job!" because with a proper pharsing she would definitely jump the gun.

Only a story like this could make “I’m brothel hopping to increase my stamina and alter my sexual role for the girl I’m in love with” oddly wholesome.

Still not even a mention of Nanao, and it's like she completely stopped existing
The hope for Asumi x Nanao ending is dying more and more with each chapter. Japanese really like to introduce the ideal romance option for MC from the get-go, and then completely gutting her just because they hate happiness or smth
I still have SOME hope, but things are looking really grim
I'll be so fucking sad and disappointed if Nanao is completely forgotten until the end, and then, after some drama, Asumi pulls an "I love Emilia" on her. If that happens, I'll lose my last shred of faith in humanity 🚬

I still have hope!

 

[Rafalga]

The title should be "Asumi-chan is addicted to lesbian brothels"

I'm genuinely wondering if a point in the story will come when she gets with Mai proper if she will be willing to stop going all together. Because at this point, she is just making excuses to go.

Nanao supremacy!! But being fr it fun seeing asumi training to be a top (something she already achieved with nanao) just so when she meets the final boss she goes straight back to her ultimate bottom tendencies. I still have hope in you nanao you are the legal wife

Thanks for the translation

This is Asumi Propaganda!!!

No way that little thang got top motions... but can she figure out the wibble to counter the wobbles? Find out next on Brothel X!

She doesn't love Mai, though, that's the thing.

She did all of this to look for Mai because Mai's her childhood friend, and she wanted to know if kissing her again after their years of separation would be as weird as it was when she was younger.

She found her, they were supposed to go on a date, Mai got too flustered to perform, and Sayaka played middlewoman between them and told Asumi that Mai lost her mojo and needed Asumi to become a top to help her.

Asumi's going back through again on a misunderstood premise, because the author needed an excuse to draw her having sex with every girl all over again.

Because romance isn't the point of the story, it's the porn based around lesbian sex work. Asumi, to this point, doesn't have romantic feelings, and possibly doesn't get romance, as a character trait.

"Oh no, I'm broke. Only one thing I can do : hire two escorts back to back !" That's quite some odd logic, here...

The story IS about romance because it seems to be aiming towards understanding what the actual value of experience and emotion adds to base sexual interaction.

Something other than a simple question is what drove Asumi to hold Mai in her mind after all this time. It was based INITIALLY in the question of “maybe it’s just something sexual” but after all of this experience with all of these women, her dedication to seeking out engagement with Mai, thinking about what will please Mai, going so far as to change her natural predilections in order for the chance to deepen her relationship with Mai: she may not realize it now but that kind of drive being present even after she has been exposed to so much is not driven just by sex.

You were so close when you said,

author needed an excuse to draw her having sex with every girl all over again.

but it’s like you're ignoring the idea that in a story, revisiting past events/situations/people allows for the crystallization of changes within the protagonist, and the reader has points of comparison for the outcome of what she’s gained each time. It’s legit a standard tool in storytelling that provides insight into character that you are trying to dismiss as “just drawing lesbian sex work”.

A major theme of this manga is finding yourself through others and the lens was chosen to be “lesbian sex work”: that’s what makes it different from something like a standard hentai where you’d be right and sex would be the point and pretty much only the point.
It’s almost like the author is making a statement that the sex, while enjoyable has a separation from romance and the main character is on a journey to discover romance since it was SO removed from the rest of her life. In that way she can assign different levels of importance when it comes to sex and thus have a greater enjoyment when she makes the link to a fulfilling romantic partner. A journey of discovery. Now, that’s the way I am reading it, i understand, yet dismissing all of the story and character aspects like you seem to be leaning towards is really misguided.

Unnecessary condescending attitude aside, I admit I mistyped when I said "romance isn't the point of the story", and I should have said "romance at this point isn't Asumi's goal in the story".

But your initial phrasing of Asumi being in love with Mai is why I said anything at all, because as of this chapter it's not true, insofar as Asumi is concerned.

 

[saredesu]

This is like megaman she goes back past bosses back to back

 

[kaptenkeren]

Thinking she solve the problem but suffer another problem. Road to became a top is hard. Any top, based on context or any competitive rank. Lol.

That "can't reach kiss" panel is so cute. Lol

 

[mikuuP]

HOORAY SESBIAN LEX TRAINING ARC YUPPPE!
I never know when the new chapters come out(is it every two months?) so I keep refreshing the page to check, and of course the one day I don't check the chapter drops 💀💀💀
BANG SENPAI PLEASE

 

[YamiryuuZero]

She's growing more skilled every day.

 

[mylovenovels]

Not great at brothel hopping, but it’s kinda cute she arrived early for asumi.

Thank you for the translation. I’m already looking forward to the next chapter！！！ ：心：

We're just here to enjoy Asoom on her bizarre lesbian adventure.

Excuse the attitude then please, it was mostly the result of feeling that you were dismissing the author’s intention/skill of being able to write the story and characters as nothing more than just smut for smut’s sake. There’s nothing wrong when it is, but this story I feel very clearly is not without some major justification as to why.

As of this chapter I would still say she is and that the author is making the evidence more and more apparent. Her being in love and not recognizing it, like previously mentioned, seems to be the point overall and this is the section of the story where it effectively bubbles to the surface through the wash of sexual satisfaction that she is entrenched in.
