Uesugi-kun wa Onnanoko o Yametai - Vol. 3 Ch. 20

[AccForManga]

ew, victim blaming
well I really hope Eito loses now. I was at least on team thruple before but that's orange flag behavior to me

He wasnt really victim blaming?

Theres a difference between victim blaming and making sure someone be aware of the dangers of being alone with an adult stranger. He never said it was Kei's fault but it WAS stupid to go off with a stranger all the same.

Saying "because you're cute" seemed more a call back to Keisuke wanting Eito to say that than saying "its your fault for being cute you were almost SA'ed"...which is def not what he meant.

Being aware of dangers because you are the type these creeps go after =/= its your fault they go after you because you're cute

HAHAHHA

 

[SkyVentus]

For anyone wanting yuri route, it doesnt get any much better

 

[Monstrengo]

Good. We need to keep this gender-bending story clean and straight.

Good. We need to keep this gender-bending story clean and straight.

Well...no?

Keisuke is still a boy on the inside, which he explicitly says in this chapter(twice even), so its a B/B pairing.

 

[cplsmash]

Wouldn’t be a gender bender manga without a scene where the character gets sexually assaulted by a man to remind them how weak and in need of protection they are.

 

[JasonRed]

Alright Eito, way to protect your woman. Also, thank you for picking this up.

 

[Nekotofu]

Oh no, not the yandere eyes! EITO RUN—

 

[Harusame]

Damn, I don't think I like any of the non-Uesugi characters...

Edit: I figured out why I don't even like Eito in this. The only reason him pulling Uesugi away at the end is considered "cute" is the blushing. It's fundamentally the same bullshit Noelle has going on in this chapter.

Noelle: I want to monopolize Uesugi. (seen as yandere)
Eito: I want to monopolize Uesugi. (seen as protective and cute)

Noelle: Let's go watch fireworks.
Eito: He's tired. He's going to rest.

How fucking tiring can watching fireworks be? Just suggest that you go watch fireworks with Noelle as a group or something.

I really don't know if I hate the characters or the author. They're clearly trying to set the Eito ship to sail, but they're doing a fucking awful job of making this ship palatable.

I thought this series died, im so happy its back. Genuinely one of my fav genderbender manga!

 

[TheGrandMugwump]

I think it's a worthwhile experience for men to read about women's self defense. There are things women have to be wary of to prevent bad situations, and a lot of men don't think about those flags when interacting with them.

 

[lenovoaxioo]

It's baack

I agree that there is a difference, but "you idiot", "you're always running around recklessly", and "you're way too defenseless" are phrases that have implied fault at hand

victim blaming doesn't require explicitly laying of fault at the victim's feet to count, and certainly from Kei's perspective, this will result in him internalizing the situation as something he caused by being unaware of his cuteness

at the very least when I put myself into Kei's shoes here, I'd be furious with Eito. the "because you're cute" would feel patronizing to me
then again, I'm not straight, so what do I know about what makes boys seem romantic
