@Odoritomaki I greatly appreciate the recommendation. It’s not that it’s so dark I can’t handle it, I love me some dark tragedy. I think I’m just in a state in my life right now where I gotta ask once in a while: “what am I really getting out of this?”. Not that anything requires some inherent moral to be enjoyed, but lord knows I have consumed so much vapid manga and other kinds of media that if something is going to be dark and sad, I want it to invoke some more artistic appreciation from me. I will resume in a couple chapters then.
@Superoniichan I probably shouldn’t have said dark, nothing is too morose for me to watch. I just don’t enjoy things that are dark without reason or as some kind of statement. It makes it feel kinda vapid, but I mean shit, I’m reading manga instead of doing exams right now so that’s kinda the pinnacle of vapidness.
@WAustinJH No, everything is fine. I understand you. I personally can read about many immoral things as a ridiculous black comedy or cruel drama, but when it is used to justify the problematic things or something like that, it immediately crosses the line for me.
We've had so many goofy, campy chapters lately that I completely forgot this manga started with Misora getting tricked into the AV industry and pitted against a bunch of guys who wanted to rape her. Looking forward to Gen-chan hopefully getting his ass kicked.
@BestBoy Don’t worry when the yuri arc is over, it will turn into a yuri version of Baki and the topic with the AV industry or males will practically disappear altogether. Although so far no one except Beruko or Akira knows Misora is bisexual,
all future sexual harassment will be limited to women for some reason. And as you probably already guessed, she will only formally resist. Apparently, the fact that all the queer women in this manga are perverted weirdo played a some role.
. I can endlessly whine about how much was rushed in future two arcs, but it's easier to wait until these 16-17 chapters are translated.

@SuperOniichan No worries here. I never expect manga to have decent representation of anything except straight relationships. Especially true in horny manga like this one. Though, it was a nice change of pace for Yajima to get harassed by Kurisu.
@BestBoy Well, there is a difference between a poor representation and the moment when all premise and messages fly into the trash. For example,
after 2-3 volumes, he added a female trans character, whose whole purpose will be to satisfy the futanari fetish and, as I understand it, futa on female pairing with a new straight girl in their company. This will even lead to the first and probably the only chapter in this manga, when male masturbation will be shown as a fan service. Do you think this is normal?
I will not be hypocritical and say that I have problems with this due to the toxic representation of queer women. But I just can’t understand how someone could start a manga about how cool girl fights against rape and immorality and turn this into an illegal child of Baki and Ikkitousen.
@Yggdraseed This is a hint to the fact that this girl found her love interest. In the future, they will be something like a token normal couple, because Rui for some reason believes that lesbian couples are too lewd.
So obviously Misora is going to beat the ever-loving shit out of that fat asshole, yes? Can't wait until she turns his balls into paste, and not in the sexy way.
