Hajirau Kimi ga Mitainda - Ch. 70.2 - Footprints

[TheMather1]

drama? Did I missed something. Give me the context pls.

Some "people" got really up in arms about the fact that the average reader doesn't like NTR and rape in their romcoms, and got really defensive about the fact that people were not happy said rape was just glossed over.

you should block them. ekoda didn't rape akito.
these guys just want this manga be vanilla, free of ntr and sex, and they're mixing real life stuff with in fiction, and you NEVER would change their mind.

like ranting over this would help real life victims. they're just pathetic, and honestly not one should reply them back. let them just add silly reacts to your comments and be mad screaming "rapist teacher this, rapist teacher that"

Are you playing dumb per chance? I don't need to stir anything precisely because these lunatics never stopped, as someone pointed out already. That's the problem. And I have long since given up trying to reason with them, I even had to black list the worst offenders because their mentally-ill rants clogged up the comment section every chapter ( and yes they are, proven by the fact that they spam their silly emotes on every comment of every chapter). How exactly am I invested? I wanna read this story and occasionally talk about it with the normal people, is all.

Oh please, now you're just backpedaling. You claim you're not invested, but look at how much energy you're putting into explaining yourself. Blocking people, keeping track of who's spamming, calling them 'mentally-ill'—you're clearly involved in all this way more than you're willing to admit. You say you just want to read and talk with 'normal people,' but instead, you're contributing to the same drama you're supposedly so tired of. If you're really above it, why bother calling anyone out in the first place?

If you cannot tell the difference between me who's mocking the mentally ill once in a while and the very same who are without fail talking about the same issue in very chapter since it happened ( and those statements are facts), and think we are both the same level of "invested" as you call it then you are lost. Funny how you seem to invest much energy into my comment instead of those people who never stopped. Why's that, I wonder

That's because people don't understand this is not vanilla romcom but borderline hentai* which caters to various fetishes and wild fantasies. It was sketchy from the start, continues to be sketchy and will be sketchy in future.
Also, certain people should drop this manga long time ago, yet they come back and shitpost here. It's apparently some kind entertainment for them.



*That's what 'Erotica' genre is in nutshell.

This is such a dumb take. "It's x so dont take it seriously" is probably the most bitch argument ever. That's because it's not an argument at all. It's just an excuse for you to act like you're right and everyone else is wrong. I could easily throw that line right back at you. It's a throwaway post from someone you don't know, so how about you don't take it seriously and just argue people.

Also Fate started as an erotica and still had a plot. So did the Grisaia franchise. So your whole point falls apart.

Lmao hopefully you're better at talking to people than you are typing to them. You sound like a kid so I won't be too mean to you.

Let's not forget this all started because you got assblasted because some people said sensei raped the MC. Funny how you seem to have forgotten that fact.

I was on my ipad, so it's full of mistakes because of autofill
Still, it's not worth talking to you, regardless

Keep screaming "rapist teacher" and reading something you hate.

Keep crying over someone's opinion loser. Also "something you hate"? Really? That's the issue with you people. You're so deluded in hating people that you take 1 criticism and apply it to the whole manga. Pls enlighten me to where I said I hate the manga.

Caught up after binging it all in a couple nights:

1. Looks like Author is setting up the True Harem route allowing MC to get some with all female leads, we'll see how it plays out.

2. Sensei hate is way overblown. Made a detailed post in the Ch. 59.2 thread. Yes what she did wasn't okay but pretending that Shirasawa hasn't also done multiple equally fucked up things is generous. People should calm their tits and let the author cook.

3. Kaho & Touka drama mystery is driving me crazy and I don't know who to trust. Kaho doesn't seem like the manipulator that big sis makes her out to be, yet the bad blood seems too deep to be a simple misunderstanding.

4. Shirasawa is very unclear about what his actual feelings are for Kaho and is letting things get messy between them. He originally put up a dividing wall preventing them from dating as director & actress, but then immediately violated that barrier with physical intimacy, giving her a personal gift on Christmas, etc. She obviously likes him and wants to date, what started as a filming-only relationship quickly became personal for her, she's only doing the filming stuff because it's with him. However he's too dense to realize and is valuing other director's philosophies above his own which is driving a wedge between them. By trying to follow too closely in his father & Saiga's footsteps he's not blazing his own trail based on his own thoughts and feelings.

5. The major theme driving conflict in this manga is Violation of Boundaries. Shirasawa is the main culprit in this, after all it starts with him violating the boundaries of his teachers by filming their affair and showing the entire school. He's an avant-garte thinker/director by nature and that's what led him to start his filming relationshp with Kaho. However it only continues to evolve from there, with problems establishing boundaries to begin with or blatantly pushing them past them. His inability to say no/hold back from sexual advances of Sensei & Touka when he was already intimitely involved with Kaho is a bad look, even if they're not "officially dating". Dude needs to introspect more seriously about what he personally wants, not just as a "director".

6. Lastly, the story has somewhat strayed from the original premise/driving force: Shirasawa & Kaho making avant-garte films to secretly present at the school for shock value and to fulfill their fetishist desires. They have been trying to get back into that but now that the entire situation is more messy after the involvement with Sensei, Saiga & company, and now big sis Touka. On top of that the hot springs commercial gave Kaho viral fame so that in itself throws away the chances of them making their fetish films public since it'd ruin her future career. The plot is getting a little messy and could go in any which direction at this point, but it's been entertaining thus far and the change in direction does somewhat represent the realistic notion that you can't predict how things are gonna turn out in life. I've liked what the author has cooked thus far so looking forward to what is in store.
