Mii-chan to Yamada-san

It really feels like the Japanese have no concept of attention deficit disorder. Her friend shows obvious signs of it. I've literally never heard of "cant sit still" being a sign of low IQ

I would guess that it's less literally "can't sit still" and more a sign of "poor motor control". Plus I'm pretty sure that scene is meant to show it's just one thing along with "doesn't understand commonly accepted social cues" - "doesn't know where to look", "doesn't understand how to respond to another person", "can't hold a conversation" etc., etc. ("Her reactions are all off" was my attempt at shortening... it was something like "She doesn't know how and when to come in with the next line", which IMO sorta ties in with how Muu-chan just abruptly walks out of the sushi place at the end of that chapter.)

Not to sneer at you or anything, so apologies if it sounds like I'm trying to do that. It's a fair point to raise - I think the mangaka's obviously done some level of research, but I don't want to ignore the possibility she might have got some things "wrong". Plus while I'm not remotely an expert and I'm relatively neurotypical myself, I know enough to be aware a lot of conventional wisdom about this stuff is often thought to be on very shaky grounds, and/or held up as "true" in large part just because "well, that's what we've always believed, so it must be correct". But I still feel like any problems with that sequence are more likely to be me phrasing the English poorly.

really hard to read for me, personally. I mean about the theme. Same feeling I felt when reading Asper Girl...

Totally understandable, yeah. I don't blame anyone for nope-ing out. I don't think it's outright misery-porn like some titles with the "tragedy" tag (which is one reason I wanted to try translating it), but I can totally see how some people would still find it too much.

this manga hits me where it hurts, but i cant stop reading.

 

[Kanade0021]

so this is a story telling about Mii chan through Yamada san POV

 

[darkia1416]

This hurts man 😢

 

[ryuu83]

Ohh no... I need to stop reading, even the first chapter already hit me so hard, but I want to know what really happens

 

[flashwhat]

This is hard to read especially when she’s sleeping with customers cause she feels wanted and needed and feels like an adult.

 

[tsumeme]

🥲

 

[Dreamaker]

Whereee

 

[bradboy102]

This whole purge business has truly done a number on some amazing manga, but I think this one hurts the worst.

 

[Emi_Ice]

Really sad this one got purged. Does anyone know where else I can find it?

 

[bastek66]

Why even comments links were removed?

that mean you havent read Kairaku no Rou

 

[detarameMangadex]

Yeah, what happened to the 'Show unavailable chapters' button for this manga? Was the nuking method different?

 

[SpunkyDragon]

So, japanese people will create these kind of works about "pitiful women", and go on an about how sex works is because they're desperate and lonely, like Emergence and whatnot; then go an be violent and misogynistic irl.
The otaku and the showbiz executive that make an idol shave their head, and the chicken on the train are two sides of the same coin: neither of them see women as human beings. Just how many mangas like these are already?

I do think this counts as misery porn; but honestly the most depressing part of this manga is not the story, is knowing that otaku will argue to defend reading it, specially now that is getting an anime adaptation, while they can't even pretend to care about real women.
Is this manga sad? I mean yeah, but I think is sadder how people will care more about fictional women that real ones.
