Man... this chapter... ugh. On one hand, the author finely depicted a dark side of working in the AV industry and how degrading it can be for an AV actress—especially if she's a stupid girl who signs a contract without fully considering whether she's truly willing to do everything it demands. But on the other hand, everything that was shown gets downplayed and framed as "hard work."

And Kaori "learned a lot" from this... learned a lot about what? About hard work and doing your best? She could have learned that anywhere.

Thanks for the chapter!

like where is this even going? hard focusing on the girl who dumped him and watch her work in the porn industry while she didn't stay in touch with either her ex or her school friend at all. there's literally no point to this lol
if they at least showed that both sides are working in the same industry and could meet again through work or something, then i'd understand. but this is some wannabe porn industry documentary mixed with slice of life/first work expeirence stuff.

⚠️This post was made using MTL, so keep that in mind while reading. The purpose is to provide the MangaDex community with some insight into Japanese audience opinions—not to fish for internet points. So, please refrain from giving a 'like' or any other reaction. ⚠️

Here are some comments from the Japanese public on the Weekly Shōnen Magazine app:

お仕事漫画に変わった?

Has it changed to a work-related manga?

吉岡さん あ> 吉岡さん 吉岡さん

Yoshioka-san, ah... Yoshioka-san, Yoshioka-san.

彼女の友達を出してくれ

Please bring out her friend.
He’s referring to Yoshioka.

マンガの内容が変わってないかい...(・_・;

Hasn't the manga's content changed...?(・_・;

モブが多すぎて感情移入できんのよ

There are too many background characters, so I can't get emotionally invested.

これは何の前振りなんだろう?

I wonder what this is foreshadowing?

上が海苔で下がモザイクって斬新だな

Seaweed on top and a mosaic on the bottom—now that's innovative.

どこに着陸するのこれ

Where is this going to land?

俺たちは何を読まされてるんだ...?

What are we being made to read...?

やっと更新されたから前回の内容忘れちまったよ!

It finally got updated, so I totally forgot what happened last time!

そろそろクズメガネを見たいですぅ

I’m starting to want to see the worthless glasses guy.

野郎が多過ぎると画面が汚くて嫌なんだよな

When there are too many guys, the screen looks messy and I don't like it.

この手のVは一部に刺さるだけでヒットはしない印象

This type of AV seems like it only appeals to a certain group and doesn't make a big hit.

ちょっとだけ業界齧ってるけど、実際はこんなに熱くない。もっと淡々してる。女優さんは大切な商品だし、こんな雑に扱うわけない。あとこんなにしっかり芯のあって向上心のある女優さんは稀。

I've had a little experience in the industry, but in reality, it's not this intense. It's more subdued. Actresses are valuable assets, so there's no way they'd be treated this roughly. Also, actresses with this strong sense of purpose and ambition are rare.
For someone who claims to have experience in the industry, it seems like they haven't actually watched many JAVs... Maybe they've only worked with vanilla ones...

確かに複数対1の奴って大変そうだよね...

You're right, it seems like the ones with multiple against one must be tough...

AVが出来るまでの舞台裏漫画でしたっけ?

Is this a behind-the-scenes manga of how AV is made?

P5mmKDV.png

何漫画だっけ

What kind of manga is this again?

3XPux0j.png

見る人はそんなに真面目に見てないのだが

People who watch it aren't really watching it that seriously.

ROpqQu4.png

この漫画どこに向かってるの?笑

Where is this manga going? Lol.

迷走してんのならとりあえずメガネをバッドエンドにして終わらしてくれ

If it's just going to keep going off track, then just give the glasses guy a bad ending and wrap it up already.


Reading these comments makes me feel validated.

On a different note, I’m back from my vacation, and comments from the Japanese public are back on the menu! For the past three weeks, I’ve basically only had my phone to post with. I don’t know how young people manage to do everything on just their phones.

We must put our heart and soul into our work, to properly honor the coomers.
