Ori no Naka - Ch. 13 - Answering Your Own Questions

[Mangamoz]

What context? She just put the camera to film how all her male coworkers going to the toilet. Also hidden camera is the very delicate thing. I don't know about Japan but in some countries judges refuse to use the evidence get in such way. If our guy was caught on CCTV or similar that would be completely legal. Hidden filming is the serious crime itself. I think any enough qualified attorney will press the matter about wrong evidence. But we are in manga, so...

As for his job. Yea, it will be very humilating but we live in the modern world. The pace of the news is extremely fast. His 'crime' will be forgotten on the next day. Go to other prefecture, find apartments and job. Nobody will care about you.

Have you never heard of japanese black companies?

TLDR, some japanese companies work around the same logic as petty schoolgirl gossip.

You piss off one of the bigwigs up top and they will spread word around so you can't get hired easily in other places just out of spite.

A famous example being Konami.

 

[Late_Komei]

imagine how funny it would be if they start and she screams "RAAAPE" to put the nail on the coffin lol

Lol, don't pull this shit author.

I would expect more from Gomi to not get it up due to anxiety or something to that nature.

 

[Late_Komei]

Whatever your justification is Gomi, just go along with it until she ask you to kill her husband or something equally crazy that's not worth keeping your reputation intact.

 

[Weoooo]

This is a really interesting exploration of his inner turmoil. Because, like... there IS a path forward here. They both know the darkest things about each other, and yet they both are still pulled together. Just... pursue this honestly. Go at this honestly. Reveal your pain, ask about hers, try and figure out where to go from there.
That he has one of his shadow selves telling him this and he shouts that down too is a fascinating portrayal of indecision; it's not that he can't find the way forward, it's that he is even unsure if he can take it.
He's a really interesting character for this sort of thing, because he's sympathetic but also self-centered and self-involved in a way that causes him to implode. I'm sure people call that some sort of narcissism, but I don't like that diagnosis cause everyone's pathologizing goddamn everything these days and I didn't fuckin' go to school for this shit to watch autistic kids decide that they're the only ones who like to solve fuckin' puzzles.

Instead, this reads as him internalizing narratives without understanding them, never confronting that, and developing a fear of himself that stops him from actually trying to learn about anyone else. Shit dude, he's been at that company for eight years, yet his interactions and relationships there mean nothing. He barely cares about his work, even though he's been at it for eight years. It's not active disinterest, we see him act as a decent guy with empathy for others. He's just wallowing in shame and fear all the time so self-criticism does nothing, hence why he stole and masturbated to pads. Since he's wallowing in shame and fear all the time he also doesn't have time to have interests in anything other than stuff that either feeds or allows him to ignore those things; porn to feed his shame, the unreality of anime to hide from anything that reminds him of the real world and thus shelter him from his constant negative thoughts.

Honestly, go 4 it, they've got chemistry, she clearly hates her husband, she's nuts but functions in society, he's nuts but functions in society, they both have deeply poisoned self-images... they're perfect for each other and all their cards are on the table.

 

[tunicul]

I think she will turn yandere lmao

 

[orochijes]

"Every part of this story is so awful it borders on criminal."
Yeah I know, can't wait for the next chapter.

 

[sanshoku]

The MC is dumb to call her despicable instead of just saying he's deranged by the morals of the situation.

Even then, if he's thinking clearly, he should try his best to pacify her, go along that and ask her to delete the video after getting close enough to her. Chances are she wont sadly.

 

[Jatopian]

I hope the readers who complained about the gap in the release schedule are happy with the recent days. I sure am.

imagine how funny it would be if they start and she screams "RAAAPE" to put the nail on the coffin lol

Would be funny but would end the fun too soon, waste of potential.

if ur gonna be nuts, why not be nuts together?

 

[Ninja]

He rationalized everything.

 

[Yeetmeister1111]

This may sound like cope, but my theory is that he is going to try to help FMC out of her marriage through a divorce. Or possibly just run away with her even if they are not "married" anymore. With this comic/artist the worst will happen, but this is my way of coping for the better

 

[Shibanova]

This man by somewhere mid way or close to the end might need a call to Arkham Asylum for a long and nice vacation

 

[EonNite]

I'm just guessing here but.... From how the chapter ended.... I'd guess he turned her down with some finality.... And she might not take no for an answer. Again, just guessing, but I feel like he chose NOT to have an affair with her.

 

[danbellucci]

Thanks so much for the quick chapters! what a run!

no way did he tell his workmate??????
"answering your own questions" , gomi saying he really wants to tell someone , the weird way this chapter showed his workmate multiple times even though he's been basically absent for ages and isn't important...

If this manga turns into an NTR manga because he told his workmate what happened and his workmate uses that to either threaten or seduce ( to be honest, she probably wouldn't take much convincing) Yumezora to bed I'll be furious and disgusted.

I don't automatically hate NTR stories. The punch in the gut you feel on behalf of the MC can be a good dramatic pull , like in Boys on the Run. It was crafted very carefully , it made complete sense.
But what I hate is unnecessary NTR. I'd hate if this story, which still has an interesting trajectory it would naturally play out, decided to suddenly , unnecessarily become an NTR story based on an unnecessary decision that the antisocial MC clearly wouldn't do.

If it's an NTR bait-storyline, like the workmate becomes an antagonist who tries to cuck the MC and pressure Yumezora but doesn't succeed , that would be ok but if he really cucks the MC then I'm dropping the manga for 6 months

 

[danbellucci]

I need high IQ readers to tell me if they got the vibe that Gomi told his blond work friend about Yumezora after he received the black garlic? Is there any other reason to include that scene and the picture of Gomi tearing up afterwards?

If Gomi did tell his work friend, there's a good chance we won't find out until much later so we won't even be mentally prepared for what's going to happen.
It could all be revealed in simultaneous flashback , like the ending of Saw, as we find out about the cuckening. the author is an adversary

Gomi turning her down then finding out that that her and the blond guy started banging afterwards for maximum audience torture.

 

[ijontichy]

Don't crack your stick in dizzy.

 

[fazzaki]

Your dark side I right, dear virgin mc kun, you masturbate to some loli rape shit, steal bloody pads and masturbate with them and now you’re worried about cheating ? Just bang her, she already knows about how shitty u are and is still willing to bang you, wtf are you waiting for ? She could as well leak the video on twitter and you would be dead anyway, just bang her ffs
Thanks for the translation

Bro this author draws aikatsu corn

 

[EchoGirl]

The worst out come is these 2 messed up people get together and have kids, there's no way they will be good parents and not raise even weirder people

Considering the focus on period pads she’s clearly not on the pill so I’d expect at least one pregnancy scare lol

Or maybe a flash forward of a kid realizing how fucked up they are and running away at like 11 or so lol, but maybe it’ll end like that one assassin series where they both die and the kid survives and has both their traits or so

 

[Weoooo]

if ur gonna be nuts, why not be nuts together?

You look at that arcade teasing scene and not see something there
