Ori no Naka - Ch. 22 - Strawberry Jam

[RakshaJaeger]

Well, since she hates kids she’s probably gonna abort, since she said things about pms as an excuse for why she left last chapter, she’s probably gonna notice her pregnancy fast enough to abort it…

 

[Doomroar]

For once, having an ugly bastard blackmailing you doesn't sound too bad. Gomi would probably shake his hand afterwards.

Everything is super horrible and messed up, and yet the stakes are so damn low on this manga

Oh no she has a stalker... but that's kind of an upgrade to her situation really

 

[Mangamoz]

Yeah the MC ain't gonna live to see the end is he.

 

[killer121]

What's with that USB cable ?

 

[Cross-21-]

And here i thought he was the messed up one, oh boy...

 

[EonNite]

This whole manga has been a rollercoaster, but this chapter in particular had me so uncomfortable.
And I know shit is gonna get worse.

 

[justformangatoo]

This is showing how very different their true personalities are. Gomi is quiet but he's a pure sheep with hidden emotions while Yumezora is a manipulative person who doesn't hesitate to use any tactic for sex.

I wouldn’t really call Gomi pure sheep considering before all this shit he used to jerk it to her used pad without consent and draw r*pe loli pron.
But at least he isn’t manipulative I guess.

 

[Accelerator]

Author going down a trauma and suffering bingo list, checking if he forgot something to add to her past character development.

 

[Madbunny]

She is beyond fixing...

 

[Hootanic]

What's with that USB cable ?

Probably it is connected to something innocuous, like a power bank, but she probably didn't want him rummaging through her bag.

 

[soda_bunny]

People seriously all crying for Gomi like he didn't commit a literal crime against Yumezora in chapter 1 lol they are both grippy sock material!


The difference is the Yumezora experience has been significantly worse than Gomi's, and he is not healthy enough to support her becoming independent from her abusers. He has spent a long time in his own head, so he is actually in danger of becoming another abuser of hers, as it seems like this s the only dynamic she understands.
She is the one in real danger, like she basically tested if he could be the one to kill her. It is clear now she is severely depressed and wants to exit stage left, but for whatever reason she can't do it herself.


If Gomi was a functional person, he'd stop indulging in her hypersexuality and recognize all her serious symptoms and actually try to help, but he has continued to allow her to spiral so he can keep enjoying her, and to a lesser degree, avoid the consequences of that aforementioned crime.

 

[dsfargeg]

Damn, I literally used to date this chick. It's a vat-grown lab clone

 

[subwayanyway]

SO WHOLESOME

 

[retrocognition]

D-did I just get jumpscared?

 

[ArtzarB]

Oh... He's doomed now. From whence you came, thou shall return, foul Daemon!

 

[Robfaw]

With all the trauma-dumping she does I'm surprised she lied about the obvious self-harm scars. Maybe that's part of the manipulation though.

 

[kraize]

The mother has a bandage on her neck, so one would think she got abused by her husband.

 

[b-no]

Why fix her when you can join her in her descent to further insanity, Gomi?

 

[MrKamote2025]

Thanks for the update.

Holy moly we in for some shit this time. I really hope Gomi could fix her somehow or at least author ends this in a different manner than his other works.

Alternatively, maybe this may even work in Yumezora's favor. She can just reject the blackmail and let the photo leak, which would convince her husband to finally divorce her and she's free to do whatever she wants. Sure the lovebirds are going to face backlash and possibly be fired from their jobs, but as far as I know cheating isn't a crime and they don't have to face legal punishment for it. However with how the story has been going I just don't really see the author picking a linear and simplistic route like this, it's almost too stupidly easy of a way out.
With so many twists and turns, maybe they should have the husband fall in love with the stalker for letting him know his marriage was doomed, kick-starting a new genre of... what am I saying?
