I see it as the reverse. If Yuzu wants to continue dressing as a girl, she'll need to learn the tactics to manage in society. Being confrontational is clearly not the way to achieve the outcome of convincing that teacher; the mom knows the path to her win con and presents an example to Yuzu.... Man, that teacher was disgusting. Like, woaw, let me do some victim blaming here.
... Tho there is an interesting parallele with the mom.
Teach won’t allow ''him'' to dress like a girl when ''he's a boy'' forcing his view onto a poor lost soul... while Mom is progressive... to a fault, enforcing the ''smile more'' tactic onto her teen because to her "Girls don't fight back openly". It's kinda funny because in the car, while MC wants some Karaage after getting bullied by an asshole, Mom says "Mushroom stew", again ignoring her own child.
Or maybe I'm reading too much into it. I do like to overanalyze
Yeah, Mom played him like a fiddleI see it as the reverse. If Yuzu wants to continue dressing as a girl, she'll need to learn the tactics to manage in society. Being confrontational is clearly not the way to achieve the outcome of convincing that teacher; the mom knows the path to her win con and presents an example to Yuzu.
Idk about the mushroom stew. Maybe she already had the ingredients prepared and would be wasting it if she switched to karaage. Overanalyzing would say that’s a lesson in how you can’t always get what you want.
Yeah I just read it as a cute moment.I think the "I want karaage" / "no, were having mushroom stew" is just a cute moment.
Also: I'm curious as to what Japanese mushroom stew is like.
Anyway, thank you for your continuing work on translation this series!
