[KazeRosetai]

Honestly I don’t know how to feel
Like I wanna punch and hug her at the same time

 

[BigChunga6969]

Nah that's it she's catching these hands

 

[Mangamoz]

This is the bad ending of Takagi and Nishikata if she had grown up to be just pure toxicity without any of the dere moments.

 

[fulani]

uhhhh

Yeah, in an alternative universe where red pills were for women. The author is capturing very well the toxicity in reverse.

What is a red pill? I'm a foreigner whose native tongue is spanish and I had never heard of this term before.

I apologize if this is supposed to be an obvious thing for english speakers

In simple terms, it's a movement of pick up artists whose techniques only work if their target doesn't have any sense of self-worth, much like the ones used by the girlfriend in this story.
They took the term red pill from the Matrix movies as a metaphor for enlightenment, because they see their techniques as the only way to be successful with women.

Oh that explains a lot, since I never saw the Matrix franshice(not my thing).

Anyway, yeah this red pill tactic does sound very toxic to do.

Almost emotionally predatory you could say.

I imagine this will soon result in her shit-talking us in bed while doing the deed. That is if it ever gets to that point in the date their having.

Then again, if you think about it, it could lead to the greatest night of angry sex ever to be had!

 

[Alex646]

Is it some japanese thing? Because it actually takes a lot of time and effort from girls to make such mess from euro- or american guy in such short time.

 

[Elma_]

bruh that molly move ain't cool , it can be terrifying if the girl had no idea that she's tripping

 

[Amer]

She's so toxic it's honestly amusing

 

[EarlofMillenium]

This ain't healthy.

 

[Kind_Nesz]

Yeahh... no

The (gender neutral! lol) term for what she's doing is negging, the misogynistic red pill ideology isn't even necessary for this.

It has nothing to do with the original movie series it references. The Matrix' concept of taking the red pill means waking up to and accepting reality as it is, rather than taking the blue pill and continue living in fantasy land. If you want, you can read about the misogynistic red pill ideology as spread by various groups of misogynists and bigots on wikipedia (manosphere, MGTOW etc.) or use a search engine and look for a proper article. You can read what the creator of the Matrix thinks of this kind of bigot over here.

Here's the legendary quote from The Matrix:

Morpheus: This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

 

[Fukinweeb]

I need her 😞

I know, I've been talking about negging in the comments of this manga's chapters since it started. I'm curious to see how far the author takes this and if they're tempted to give her a redemption ark.

 

[agtra]

My self-worth is so low I am okay with being treated like in chapters 2 to 4
I think I need help fams

Petition to isekai the translator into this manga, he clearly knows what to do here
