Ningen Fushin no Boukenshatachi ga Sekai o Sukuu Youdesu - Vol. 2 Ch. 13 - Taking a day off

[Sheruff6]

Yeah that idol's too suspiciously kind

 

[need4speedrazor6]

idol is a yikes

 

[xboxbam]

Anyone else notice that the idol is blatantly asking him to do the same thing his (fake) ex-girlfriend did? How would that not be triggering his trauma? Well, maybe he got sucked into his idol addiction BECAUSE it was having him relive those events. The same can be said for the other 3.

The priest got falsely accused of sexually assaulting a minor and now he gave up his priesthood to lay with a bunch of women.

The noble sorcerer got her nobility (and her lover) taken away from her, leaving her penniless. Now she's taken up gambling (making her live through the loss of her wealth over and over)

The dragon girl got left for dead by her party and would have been eaten by monsters had that amulet not protected her. Now she became a glutton that spends all her money on food.

Those 4 have quite the twisted addictions there...

@xboxbam I think the author did that purposefully, it's not a coincidence that all four of them have addictions that are ironic and related to their traumas. I sincerely hope that the author does a lot of character development and progression as this manga goes on. As real as it is to see characters with such flaws and addictions, I'd also love to see them getting better and one day being able to kick their addictions as well and progress as a person.

@xboxbam
i mean the idol isn't giving him any pretense of a romantic relationship and she actually helped him quite a bit

[0ro2tsu]

Since this manga is about "TRUST"
I can't trust that Id-ol

 

[arirnarukami]

[greatninja3]

@Kampfarsch not buying tickets or chips for gambling is also as easy as not buying a whore.

Anyone who needs to understand addiction can go watch Trainspotting, or even just its very beginning few minutes with the "choose life" speech, which is what basically made it "click" for me. It's basically about how certain paths to ruin are so fun for certain people that even when they realize they're on such a path, they don't want to stop walking it. Sometimes, that walk is so much fun that even after they stop walking it they realize that a long, stable, healthy life just isn't worth giving up on feeding that addiction. It's a whisper that stays in your head forever and intensifies during moments of weakness, which is why those 12-step programs are permanently ongoing affairs with a "sponsor" assigned to you to help you discourage even after it might seem like you're "cured" to outside observers.

Considering how big an issue addiction is in pretty much any given part of the world, it's probably important for everyone to understand at the very least that addiction is a fully distinct thing from chemical dependency, if only to avoid sounding ignorant in public. Probably avoid even remotely sounding like you're blaming them too, since that'll just get people to shame you as a group, whether you're right or not.
