So Chapter 88 introduces the president as a threat and maybe the actual final boss, and also brings back dance class senpai, and also just does away with my coping notion that she has largely stepped away from many of her sex friends as a result of master. It still might be true for characters who aren't named, since Sasha is prone to getting around, but these guys are still elements in her life.
Master is repeatedly framed as 'the one she's closest with', and there are several occasions where she opts to hang out with master instead of another sex friend - even before her and Fujiwara were doing it - but these two are named as current things. So I think i was just mostly wrong, not totally wrong, and I think the why is in the way that Sasha and her buddy talk about dance-senpai both in chapter 30-ish and in this one.
Chapter 88 looks like it's mostly about the contrast with her relationship with dance senpai versus Fujiwara, even though we don't meet him proper yet. Like she's still having sex, at least with these other particular men who are in effect love rivals, but Intimacy with Fujiwara extends past sex, it extends into the little dates, the way they just like hanging out with each other, it extends into the way that they talk about eromanga, how they like each other's nerdy weird interest, the way they both take authorship of it by having sex and talking about it and drawing it and getting excited about it with each other. She got butterflies when they both jumped around and hugged about his art way back in chapter 30 - something she said doesn't happen to her.
Sasha talks about how porn brained she is, and it wraps around with her talking about how sex is communicative, how it's about vulnerability and showing each other every part of you. That talk about the emotional aspect of sex is pretty different from the way that she talks about dance-senpai and how they would use each other for their bodies.
Or at least that's my understanding of it, i have to rely on less than ideal translation options, so i'm looking forward to the care and style and tone and quality that the team puts up.
I'm always typing too much about these, at least this new chapter has 13 pages, lmao.
she's got a cool ass outfit on too.
