"Please have more self-respect", says the guy after he finished cumming.

Seeing the large hand slowly encroaching on her until it eventually suffocates her was a beautiful representation of her emotions and how they've reached their breaking point. Even when everything outside looks fine, the hand is always there ready to pull you back in.

I swear Fumi-sensei is a master at simply yet effectively depicting mental turmoil.

cant blame this guy since hes a kid but jesus wut a thing to say after blowing ur load lol

LOL unless the leaders'/advisors of the cult told the parents to back off or if they somehow cut contact, it must be jarring for some 'abusive' parents to suddenly 'act normal'

"Please have more self-respect", says the guy after he finished cumming.

I mean, she did initiate it but i imagine he was also raised in a 'normal' household where he wouldn't think of like just taking advantage of her background. tho hopefully rumors don't spread around about her

Hopefully the dude wont be creeped out afterwards though and still be a friend to her at least.

I absolutely love how mental turmoil and anguish is depicted here. It's so visceral in a way I like.

Thank you for the translation.

I imagine even if he 'knew' about her past/backstory he'd still prolly feel awkward and keep his distance even if he never tells anyone what happened

I doubt any adults are interesting in 'saving' her but depending on how things go , I can imagine her using the money she earned to get a train ticket/hitch a ride to some far away city unless as a minor a cop would be able to apprehend/return her b/c i doubt even modern day cops can do anything if it's like "My parents are in a cult" b/c i feel like they'd prolly get victim blamed like "That's on you for falling for that scam" if not being 'respectful' of cults or so

Maybe for people who isolated themselve from outside world or somehow don't know about people having issues.

Personally, I know people like that do exist, heck was in relationship with one, gave a whole lot of TLC, understanding, we went to the professional even a couple times which helped a bit.
Sadly things went south after about three years, hiding her issues and succumbing back to alcohol addiction in secrecy, we tried rehab, it was successful but other issues came out and unfortunately we had to break up...

It's a hard "work" and takes a lot to help such people, there's probably no way to "fix" someone like that, especially if there's little to no effort when a person is depressed. But doesn't hurt to try...

Oh man, poor Endou, he gave her his mixtape and she reciprocate it with the only way she is used to... don't think shocking display of her "affection" to someone not knowing about her will keep him by her side... hope he doesn't tell anyone about what she did because she yet wasn't bullied at school...

Yeah, Tanaka was there only for sex, not relationship, confessing to him about marriage had an obvious outcome.

Thanks for the scanlation!
