Usotsuki Hanayome to Dousei Kekkon-ron - Vol. 2 Ch. 8 - I'm Not an Idiot.

[Machaka22]

I disagree. Prior to marriage she tried to have a career but nobody would take her seriously and she was stuck in the same tea serving loop that only seemed to have an exit towards marriage. Where she’d at least have a respectable role doing similar in serving one guy the rest of her life with all the stability perks that come with it. So she thought until she couldn’t fit the role anymore.

Which was why the MC who was somehow a self-sufficient, competent and successful person at work in comparison stood out to her so much. To me they are fellow glitches in the matrix coming from different extremes. One tried to fit in and one didn’t.

I'm pretty sure she never imagined doing a career. For her, joining a company was just a way to find a good man to marry. And she thinks that was the case for every other women.
But Nakano prouve her wrong and show her that even women can be more competent than a man in their job and self sufficient. But the price was to be ostracized by the others and mostly men. Thing that Gotou didn't want to.

Nakano is literally her antithesis.
Competent in her job, self sufficient, don't need other's approval and a Lesbian.

She just go out with what japanese society told her, be a good woman, make yourself pretty for men, don't be competent in your job, be gentle and caring for others especially men, marry a good and rich husband, make children, stay at home and take care of them and your husband and you will be happy, THE END.

They never show her another way to live, she never thinks of another way to live.

Since she lost what she was aiming for, she gets lost and didn't know what to do...

And I really hope they won't end as a couple in the last chapter. Partner in life or friends, yeah. But couple... I don't see them like that.
Also, Gotou is straight. If she magically become gay in the last chapter, that's bullshit.
Ok, there was some tension between them. But Gotou was just playing her act to not get kicked out.
At least I want some explanation.

I didn't expect it to go that way. So, no "magically turn gay at the end", or "she was a closeted bi/lesbian" or "becoming lesbian after some gay sex".
That's some improvement coming from Kodama-sensei.
But there is one chapter left, so everything can happen.

She's been shown to be bisexual. Gotou was not just playing, and that's been established by now I think. She's been presenting herself as though she were playing but there's been enough moments of clarity with her to show that's not the case.

This chapter doesn't really change that at all. She just has issues to deal with before any serious discussion about a relationship can happen and she seems to feel guilty about how dependent she's been on people.

Man... thank you for an update! Kind of a pity this is so short, but among many slice of life yuri stories I've read, this works really well within the setting it set.

 

[faaresemo]

I'm not sure if yuri-hime has to deal with cancellations in the same way other magazines do, but personally I definitely get the feeling that there's a lot more to explore and was setup

would be nice to be able to ask mangakas what their original plans going into a series included. if this was meant to be a small 9 chapter thing, then that's chill, but I am sitting here feeling like we would've gotten closer to 15

as for her leaving after that speech? its probably to go finalize the divorce proceedings

 

[ikuyoooo]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo :'((((((

Japan isn’t very high on the list of countries where people adopt a child outside of blood family. It’s extremely rare. A kid tends to either be sent to relatives or to state housing/fostering until aging out. So they are being entirely normal in not adopting. (Surprising fact is adult adoptions are in the high 90% of all adoptions.)

the thing is they want kid right, so... they have demand. and she is housewife so i dont get why you need to sent the kid out

 

[recklessribbon]

Thanks for the translations!

 

[dokidoki]

They don't have gex at the final chapter 🤡

I legit believe the author has ZERO fucking idea on how to write a Yuri series that isn't hot garbage

Really sad since art is hella cute

 

[VillxKomari]

Well that was a waste of my time. The bi love interest with the asshole boyfriend/husband trope is so boring and overused.
