See, you’re angry because you think the reason is heavy and real. Just think of it as what it is, some stupid shit that the author couldn’t pull out of their ass to justify the horrible things that the mother pushed to her daughter, and voila, you’ll be bothered less, only as much as I am. I think you’re giving the author too much credit to think that far.I can picture the author hunched over the script, going: "Wait, why did she ban her from movies? Crap, I can't think of anything."
Then their face just lights up. "I know!", they exclaim. "I'll make it a mysteryyyy!"
That's not what bothers me though. Well, it does bother me, but it does not make my blood boil. What does is that this lady seems to be thinking that she has to shield her fifteen-year-old, nearly adult daughter from the truth at all costs, so she spills it to a boy from her school who is the same age and can't possibly accomplish anything with this information. (Other than pass it on to her daughter, the one thing she specifically tells him not to do.) Either because boys don't experience trauma, or because he's not her kid so she doesn't care if he gets traumatized. And she insists on doing this even though her daughter already ran away from home because she can tell something's completely fucked.
You see, "the author wrote themselves into a corner and has to stall for time" is the charitable interpretation.
Could you elaborate?This chapter's fun fact: You would not believe the controversy Akine's "Woof" caused behind the scenes.
So the girl says "woof", and the others are like "Are you sure about that?". Cue a back and forth, where they think maybe I misunderstood, or maybe she meant to say something, but the word got cut off, or maybe I could use some help and I should ask around in the group for it to get to the bottom of this mystery. And I'm just like "No. She said 'woof'"Could you elaborate?
That would piss me off so much.That secret is gonna be like the brief case in pulp fiction
I mean, the only reason we didn't hear what the reason was is because of the author's deliberate move to change the scene. It's like finding out you got your pizza delivered, but the driver fed it to your dog.16 chapters into a Manga and people are already foaming at the mouth for every single little bit of information.
What boring stories you people must read where everything is revealed in chapter 5 and the entire story is done by chapter 10.
Yeah, this is my thought as well. Japan has a huge (and sometimes shady) AV industry, so some yakuza producer might have managed to talk her into getting involved with a porn movie, yet she didn't realise it's that kind of movie until it was too late. So, she was basically raped, though "legally", in front of the camera, and ever since she hasn't been able to watch movies. Let's just hope she didn't actually get pregnant, leading to Akine, under such circumstances.My guess would be that she got sexually exploited or scammed by someone who pretended to be from an filming agency or something when she was a high schooler. More on the scammed side because I doubt she'd tell him if she actually was sexually exploited, and because that'd be a bit dark for this manga.
