Ori no Naka - Ch. 21 - Moyupu

[Jatopian]

Would need to go through court which may still reject it (albeit unlikely in this case, as long as she can prove abuse), meaning extra time, expenses, stress, and social stigma.

I dunno. Stressful maybe, but less stressful than physical abuse and rape by a stinky man. And if he's so violent that the wall is full of holes it should be easy to record proof - we know she's not a stranger to illicitly recording things, unfortunately.

Thanks for the TL.

That was the least impactful rape scene I've ever seen

 

[AcidVlad]

I'm starting to hate this coz it relates to people I know and used to know.

 

[Hootanic]

Gomi's going to get groomed to murder the husband, isn't he?

I'm not saying she shouldn't get divorced, I'm saying the barriers to a divorce in Japan's case make it more daunting to tackle, because you have to now dedicate a lot of your life to a lengthy and expensive legal process. She should do it, but when you're being abused any hurdle feels insurmountable. Doubly so when her support network seems nonexistent.

If Japan had no-fault divorces it would make her life a lot easier.


Though I suspect it's more so that she's in an arranged marriage she can't get out of for one reason or another we don't know yet.

The husband got an epic goon station and a wife.

 

[EchoGirl]

fuck kinda name is moyupu (unless it's some cutesy nickname)

So her husband is some shut in neet (well until the end where he appeared in a suit)

Should've taken birth control but idk how common that is in JP versus condoms, though

Be much easier to just drug him or get him too drunk and maybe have some other person 'lure' him out for some accidental or tempt him with a brother worker lol

Divorce is pretty common in most 1st world countries. Two not-so-fun facts about divorce: getting married before the age of 25 will be twice as likely for you to get a divorce and 1 out of 5 women in Japan hate their husbands.

Being seeing as a divorcee in asia i imagine is looked down upon tho this extreme example aside there's tons of 'cheating' manga that aren't necessarily NTR or whatever. or "Sexless marriage drove me to cheat" or some bs, tho maybe a handful would mention 'open marriages' like "we married outta convenience but sleep with others. Though i think there was a more wholesome? series were two aro/ace ppl got married that was also made into a jdrama

 

[pink_rabbit]

I think we're ignoring that her husband just barged in, drunk and raped her. The lack of sympathy towards the women in these stories is starting to become disgusting.

This is fiction. The mangaka is telling a story. If you don't like the story then you can create your own story about Gomi being pegged and pregnant by the female lead. Do I think that women are degraded in some media? Yeah, sure. I won't deny it. However, that is why we should push and shout out media that shows sympathy to the women in manga.

I don't know if you noticed the female lead isn't innocent. No one in the story is innocent. I like that no one is innocent because its telling a story of these selfish twisted people in what they want. Most of the comments are upset that the husband basically rapped and impregnated her. I like morally gray stories. I like twisted stories. That is why I continue to read this. I want to see what will happen in the end

Simplist might be financial dependency - she's probably not making much at her job & seems like she's at least supporting her mom (if not other deadbeat relatives).

From what I can find on the Internet, Japan allows a very limited set of contraceptions & generally the pill and IUDs are much harder to access & much more expensive than condoms.

I want to be the wall

 

[EchoGirl]

I want to be the wall

that one was nice too but i don't think it got a live action? (plus the male in that was gay and just marrying out of comphet) https://mydramalist.com/713777-koi-senu-futari this is what i meant


and yeah tho i mean, birth control/sex stuff aside i know ppl take pills to like, stop periods b/c cramps are a pain and all that , i mean, even without thinking of pregnancy if you asked most women "would you wanna never have periods again" most ppl would say yes even if they didn't get hysterectomies

Morning after pills need prescription from an ob gyne so it’s not readily available.

With this author's work history, I expect worse things to come.

Uh, I'm not sure what the case is in Japan, but in the US at least Plan B is relatively available in most pharmacies without needing a prescription (though it isn't exactly cheap), if this weren't the case, then the number of unwanted pregnancies we'd have would probably be staggering.

 

[story645]

Sure, and apparently birth control pills can be covered by insurance when used for periods. But the context being discussed here is birth control, which isn't covered by insurance and therefore generally more expensive than condoms. Plan B is also not available over the counter in Japan.

I'd say their point is most people in the comments are saying. "Oh she is pregnant", "MC got cucked." "She got creampied" instead of "damn he raped her". Just because she isn't innocent doesn't make that less true.

MC isn't innocent either, but people would still have more sympathy for him and call it out if something bad happened to him.

 

[MrKamote2025]

man i thought this was gonna continue with the husband remaining faceless and just the two having cheating sex guess the honeymoon phase is over now and we about to enter the wtf phase now.

Thanks for the update btw, please continue until this finishes.

This isn't the case in Japan. It's actually pretty bad.

Plan B requires a doctor's appointment and prescription. It's also not covered by insurance. Since the pill is only really effective in the first 24-ish hours, this makes it not a solution after the fact if you don't already have the pill with you.

Birth control pills require a prescription as well and are only covered by insurance if they are used for medical treatment (ie managing period-related symptoms). If the pills are going to be used for birth control insurance won't cover it. IUD is similarly complicated.

Abortion requires a reason: Risk to mother's life, rape, or financial problems. This makes it so on top of needing a doctor's appointment, you also need to prove why you need an abortion, lengthening the time needed to get it and possibly making the woman go over the 22 week limit (in Japan's case). Oh and no, it's not covered by insurance even in the case of rape.

And then there's the pervasive social stigma attached to abortions.

Meanwhile there are tons and tons of social programs and benefits if you have a child (definitely not enough to outweigh the burden, both physical and financial, but alas)

If you're a woman faced with this reality, it's no wonder a big majority end up simply choosing to keep the baby, and why abortions tend to happen more so under coercion.

 

[ultrabread]

my headcanon now is the husband is a day trader just to feed back into the meme, maybe even with a scene where he borrows money from the mc lol. The ending may actually be that the mc and her marry, raise 2 kids, and then awkwardly make something up about why the oldest looks like a roblox character and the youngest is idol cute. MC unironically is the type of guy to marry the single pregnant mom and step up. only manga to have a character's arc go from bathroom gooner to dad of the year.

 

[reliez]

Got pregnant by an ugly bastard, but the ugly bastard is actually her husband lmao.

Basically reverse NTR

 

[vannn]

Just caught up, that crime tag is looming menacingly. Easy odds she gets the boyfriend to kill her husband.
