Maaaaaan I really wish this series could be better. Stories about people who have low self worth related to trauma from sexual exploitation are so rare so it makes me sad that this one is going off the rails.
The drama is so unnecessary and forces the plot on a goal-driven path to avoid the hassle of actually writing good characters. It sucks even more since the story itself doesn't lend well to a goal-driven plot, and will just lead to repeated forced drama to create short-term goals with no good payoff. Like right now the goal is: Sayu Don't Get Raped. After she Doesn't Get Raped, maybe it'll be Sayu Don't Get Reported to the Police by Creepy Coworker Senpai. Forced short term drama over and over again because character arcs and writing about human emotion is actually difficult wow who would have guessed.
It's not like a shounen where the goal is Beat the Bad Guy or something, it's a story about trauma with no definitive end goal. Like what could the goal even be, Sayu Stop Fucking Random Men? I'm joking, but like that wouldn't even solve the issue.
I hope the story gets back on track eventually, because it's rare that a manga comments on female sexual activity and sexual exploitation and trauma without making it the butt of a joke or just demonizing it without making any sort of intelligent commentary.
