R15+ Ja Dame Desuka? - Vol. 4 Ch. 34 - Fourth-rate Man

Now that you called him a fake director, kill him or report him. Both would be good too

Thanks for the chapter

I think the worst part about this for me is how they portrayed his arguments/logic as strong in the last chapter, where you see neither Akane nor Senpai could argue against him despite that being so stupidly easy to do.

This also kinda harms the entire portrayal of the female cast because it essentially made it so they're too incompetent until Fuyumine steps up. Because of this, this entire arc can kinda be summarized into a damsel in distress story, where Fuyumine swoops in to save Ena who can't fend for herself, and later Akane who can't give a single argument.

Imagine how much different it could have been if they all ganged up together on Umeki and it culminated with Ena stepping out of her shell and giving him a proper piece of her mind. Instead Fuyumine does everything, and Ena's only input is saying no to being sexually exploited, and the rest of the cast also doesn't get to do anything but react.

And even then all Fuyumine accomplished was to say "using people bad" and then left it at that. He had so many arguments he could have used that would directly invalidate Umeki, but instead he just calls him names and tells him to grow some balls. And you're supposed to cheer him on because Umeki is portrayed as so comically evil you have no other choice (and I think that's part of why he's so evil, so there doesn't have to be much thought put into his take down, because he's so evil any take down is seen as good).

This entire arc is just really poorly written imo. For a series so focused on movies and the industry in general, it leaves so much to be desired when the characters don't properly address a director exploiting his staff/cast. I'm honestly glad this is over.

Could have also been a good opportunity to show that "no." is a complete sentence. Ena doesn't have to explain; none of them do.

That said, still think they should have gotten the school admin and police involved.

again, umeki's club was never part of a school.
for some reason people keep misunderstanding this

That doesn't make the plot any better. There is a reason while school clubs are under supervision, and Japan especially doesn't do the "if it doesn't happen in the school, we're not responsible and students can do as they please", as numerous and often bullshit school laws prove, for example barring students from legally working part-time or driving with license, or even playing games at arcade. Recording - especially female - school student acting nude in a movie is obviously much more dangerous for the school image.

They can just go to school, and explain that one student tried to circumvent the school supervision by creating movie club outside of school, and trying to make a movie when one of female student actors would be nude, and guy would be utterly fucked.

oh yeah, i forgot about that. but he's still a student there, right? still no reason why they can't just take his script and report him and his friends for inappropriate behavior. i suppose ena might feel bad about it, but thats really the only hurdle

FOURTH RATE DIRECTOR WITH A THIRD RATE MOVIE

 

[davidna]

W MC!
Also, it’s “invincible” for the movie’s page, typo

 

[Probably123]

Okay guys. I have a wild theory.
Remember in chapter 16, Ena's mom told Fuyumine something? And well the guy tried to touch her and Fuyumine immediately stopped him, what if it is related to that? Like something really bad...

I think you confused Amou with Ena 😅

 

[Cluracan]

I'm assuming it's illegal to film underage girls in the nude in Japan. They should just haul his ass to the police and show them the script.

 

[Kushikime]

Thanks for the chapter

 

[ryuumajin]

That's a good point.
If he actually has confidence in his script, he wouldn't do to a kohai, let alone a girl. Guess he's still an ass to even randomly asking other girl right away, but with such approach, no wonder no girls want to have such part.

But for Fuyumine to show him that he himself has feminine quality, I dunno if it's just "On Your Face!" or "You're actually pretty yourself. Wanna try that out?"

 

[ahoy555]

LET'S GO FUYUMINEEEE!!! THAT'S WHY HE'S MY GOAT!!!

 

[davidna]

Also, filming abuse student is basically cp, so he’d get arrested anyways

 

[talathar]

I think theres some missing the point here.

Yes, having everyone else just be unable to argue against him is lame.

But the goal in the argument wasn't to defeat him on general principles. Clearly, the manga and characters were aiming to win the argument on the basis that he was wrong even if we accepted that the only thing that mattered was filmmaking. Thats why it was more difficult and why the MC was the best person for the job. Its also the only way the argument could have two sides or be interesting.

Now given the characters fascinations and the mangas theme and tone I think thats a perfectly appropriate direction. If you disagree no problem, but its not because the author didn't think to write the more obvious arguments (that was when the love interests mother banned all films for no reason...).

SO THIS MANGA ALSO MENTIONS CROSSDRESSING OUT OF NOWHERE SEVERAL VOLUMES IN AND IT WAS ORIGINALLY PICKED UP BY DANKE FÜRS LESEN, HUH

You can't make this shit up, chat, that group has a fucking superpower.

I wondered about protagonist's spiky hairstyle but turns out we were in a shared universe with Ace Attorney.
