Renge to Naruto! - Ch. 33 - I'm Sorry!

[JJTheWeeb]

That would get a suggestive tag tho right? Erotica is basically soft core porn in terms of ratings. A few nipples can stay PG-13 for example.

that one was a tame one, we did get like 3 actual sex/attempted sex scenes (2 imagined by surgeon and then the librarian stuff (there was nudity there).

age rating is always the highest found in the series, so even if most is only suggestive, if there's one that borders into erotica, then the whole series gets it

I mean with that attitude and a desire for money she should just go into business with Shiori-san for the dudes with serious mommy issues.

 

[Nightazakus]

Yeah, but the shit system and shittier situation should never be a reason or an excuse to shit on your own kid his whole life.
There are parents out there in the same shitty situation, but they do double shifts, do fucking backflips and shit blood just to be able to give their kids a chance in having a better life than theirs.

What you say is true, but what we have here is an example (even if "fake") of a MOTHER that belittles HER SON since he was a kid, calling him stupid and saying that everything he did and does is a waste of time. And from here, you can go back to the first line.

Well nobody has a guide to how to parent. And if you have unresolved trauma as a parent you will most likely pass it down to your kid. The amount of unhealed parents outnumbers the healed ones by a lot. The parent you describe is one that doesn’t have trauma or way less than the one in this story or has possibly healed/resolved to push through those circumstances but not everyone will do that in time to provide the best for their kids.

I’d say the moms gotta die but she’d probably leave behind a bunch of debt he’d be responsible for…

True that nobody know how to parent at first. But the rest is your opinion. Because, in my opinion, if you have trauma, don't have kids.
It's sadly true that are way too many parents with problems/trauma than not, but, again in my opinion, it's all people that shouldn't have kids to begin with. It's unfair to push your trauma on a new life just because "everyone has kids, that's how society works".
If your parents were shitty, either work to be the opposite or just don't be a parent yourself

This isn't even just a japanese thing. Toxic parents are everywhere regardless of the country. Many children fail to cut that relationship off growing up because the parent has such an emotional and mental grasp over them

 

[UselessRaccoon5073]

This series does not deserve the Erotica or Sexual Violence tag at all. The “Sexual Violence” is heavily implied to be a lie to manipulate people by a known manipulator. Her accusing someone of Molesting her, and the very next panel being her setting someone up… you do the math.

Also erotica? Where? There is no nudity

I suggest you read chapters 30 and 31 again, AFAIK the Sexual Violence tag was added by the mods after those chapters were published, I assume because of the mention of Shiori's SA when she was in school, and her later behavior towards Naruto which could be considered SA too even if she ended up backing off.

don't really care about drama backstory if it makes the other bits worse, and it does. this is turning into something different than what was promised at the beginning. ecchi gyaru slice of life comedy now is psychological drama. "

that is the whole point of slice of life, to be "boring".

I was gonna say the series isn't SoL but it does have the tag, sorry. I'm not sure exactly how the author want to make the story progress, but I'm not sure the SoL tag is a good fit anymore.

Is there no pension system?

There is one but depending on what jobs the mom had in her life or what age she stopped working due to her condition, she might not be getting a full pension (you can read more about it here: https://www.nippon.com/en/in-depth/a08702/)

Shiori's "Sexual Assault" is based on her words, and the next panel shows her setting someone up and seducing them. If you believe her fine, but it's clear she lied based on the panels to me.

But I know there is no point trying to convince you this and you'll probably just call me something mean.

 

[Lewd_Beast]

Such a miserable chapter... Why does Japanese story telling have to be so binary, black and white? Why do tropes have to always be extreme? At least she didn't stub out cigarettes on his skin, eh? Let's give her the benefit of the doubt and say she has depression, but also, he did mess up in the job he wanted, so she may have more of an understanding of his nature that we do. Hard to tell if him messing up his new role is post meeting her, or if it was just too much for him from the start. I mean he is messing up basic stuff, he may well have low intelligence and she may have a point. Either way, bloody miserable chapter.

I don't see it that way, I just see the off-screen assault as the trigger for her accepting the lewd body her mother tells her she has. Also, what was the assault? A hand on her arse cheek? Her boobs being touched? I doubt this is hentai world and she got gangbanged by the whole train. I think her lifestyle is more down to her rubbish mother blaming her for her norks. This story does indeed have it's fair share of crap parenting. I think the writer would have indicated if the SA claim was bogus. I think you may just be a bit more clever than the writer ;-)

Honestly I'd say that the MC is someone who doesn't do well under stress or pressure. Ordinarily he does his job well, with some chapters his boss even praising him on his work. However once he decided to cut back even more (he was already doing this to accommodate his intent to go to grad school) and take on more shifts (in order to send his mother money), he started making mistakes again.

Considering that we haven't seen him make mistakes like this before until his mother showed up and we got a look at his backstory, I'd say a lot of it is his mother's fault. Even in the flashback, he was able to get by for a bit, until he got his new job. But the moment he spoke to his mother, he started messing up, and it got too much for him. Whether it was intentional or not, his mother planted that seed of doubt in him ever since he was a child, whenever she makes her presence known, that seed sprouts and messes things up for him.

Sadly I don't see this changing unless, he either cuts things off with his mother for good, or his mother realizes what she's doing is harmful to him and apologizes and backs off, and let him live his life.

I don't think he will have the confidence to do either. I would have put money on him giving her money. No matter how bad your parents are, most people can't escape them. Especially someone like our poor MC

yeah maybe do everyone a favor and remove the SoL tag and add the psychological. I would have filtered this out entirely and not wasted my time.

 

[BlargET]

Naruto deserves better is an understatement. Anyone who puts in the effort to better themselves and their surroundings don't deserve these parasitic pieces of shit.

 

[YamiryuuZero]

If you keep telling your kids they can't do well in life, HOW DO YOU THINK THEY'LL END UP?!

 

[raze2012]

kinda hope his mom gets run over by a truck or some shit

truck-kun should isekai her as a weed on a roadside somewhere

She said it's getting harder to move, so nature might take its course instead.

If she wants a sugar daddy, she shoulda just got that instead of being a gigantic anchor on her son's entire life.

Also note we saw none of the father. I'm guessijg he left the picture early and the mom's just pushing all the regret and hate onto the son instead of encouraging a better life. Either way, real trashy to ask your grown son to take care of you after he had to put all his money into setting up his own career.

 

[raze2012]

Ya'll act like it would be easy being a single mom raising a kid in Japan or something. Yeah, she's a shit parent, but my guess is she's probably so burned out from trying to raise a kid by herself, and depressed, and not getting any help, that I doubt any of you would be any better of a parent in her place either.

I can't say I'd be a better parent myself. I'll just say I'm glad my mom was 20x the woman this one was. I sure wouldn't have gone through college and gotten a good career if she acted like this. She instead went out of her way to get me into extended learning programs, encouraged and helped me find scholarships, and overall encouraged me when things were tough.

Soketimes even some false encouragement can go miles farther than blatant cynicism. Especially for a small child trying to figure out what they want to do in life.

Either way; you definitely do not tell your grown child how to speak the money they work for.

 

[Graywing]

I think he will need to speak up for himself for him to move forward. His mother may have had hard times but that's no excuse. There have been people that came from really rough environments to do better for their children (like refugees). At this point he may need to let her go for him to grow. Thanks for the chapter!!!

Was your mom a single mom in a country where they get very little support, working herself to exhaustion trying to raise a child with seemingly zero support systems including family?

I'm not saying that someone can't be in that situation and still be a good parent. But from people I've known who have been through that it's way harder than people are pretending it is. Ultimately parents are still humans, trying to get through it, and if they are worked to death and depressed all the time, they aren't going to be good people to anyone around them, including their kids.

But again, he's an adult, and has every right to protect himself at this point and cut ties if he can't get her to snap out of it.

But all these stories about people in terrible situations who made great parents and raised successful children are 100% stories of survivorship bias, and there are WAY more people who are left in the mud generation after generation than stories would tell you.
