Utsushicha Dame-na Kao - Vol. 2 Ch. 9 - It's Obviously A Problem

Just disgusting I hope this "manager" gets what is coming to her.

Where's the psychological tag to go with this dumpster fire?

I need that woman killed

I need that woman killed

I mean shes still a manager in japan, if Io can take her to court her career is over. I wonder if Misa recorded the phonecall. Problem is Io is still a doormat and its japan where power dynamics are quite fucked (See Nintendo vs Pocketpals in the social climate, even though Nintendo literally has no legal grounds to stand on since Unity vs Unreal.)

Dating Misa is bad for Io because no one actually knows what demographic Io appeals to, they just have general ideas and if shes outed, they can hope they can pivot her into a lesbian icon. Dating the manager is career murder-suicide. Misa is of course the one really threatened by being outed though since her career ends if management actually learns that shes a raging lesbian.

Io is being raped by her manager what are you even trying to say? Why did you even bring Misa up?

 

[Mashii52]

Murder is morally acceptable now right?

Because they have reading comprehension skills and can/are willing to discuss the plot further besides saying “rape bad” because well DUH

im reminding people that Misa isnt exactly just some bystander in any controversy Io has happen to her and that right now she would be the only witness able to call in front of a jury or present evidence against the manager.

the reason i had to make the giant If is that Japanese work-culture power dynamic is fucked. Actually getting the manager into court and winning in california would be very difficult, let alone in Japan.

Well dating Misa is bad for Io for many reasons; first of all Io is like a famous idol so any relationship is already a no no. Plus with a woman?! A double scandal. her audience would freak out regardless if she’s going for her sexy or innocent appeal. There’s no such thing as successful “lesbian icon” besides those idol that do obvsious fake yuri shipping with other idols. Which won’t fly here.


So yeahhh TLDR I wonder how Io and Misa would work out as an actual relationship. Only answer I can see is if Io leaves the fame she gained.

But I bet she’ll get exposed instead of just disappearing from the scene

Io is a model/actress, not an Idol, so shes not as intensively held to the purity standards of idols, at least. Hence the "can theoretically survive" rather then "Definitely screwed by implicit existence of a nonprofessional relationship". Playing off her relationship as Misa as a Bit would likely blunt the damage to her career if it gets out as long as someone isnt getting photos of Misa actually doing it.

Its not really Io's relationship with Misa i have an issue seeing, shes clearly attached her mommy complex to Misa. the question is beyond some submissive fuckmeat, what is Misa getting out of this relationship at all.

 

[hi2gr]

woah.

 

[Lonbomb]

The toxic yuri is getting even more toxic

 

[Hayashi_Aiko]

I wonder if this will get the sv tag next chapter

Well just to be clear I didn’t say Io is an idol, just that’s she’s a bit like one due to her whole innocent appeal shtick that’s been going on (but recently changed). But I see what you’re saying. It could survive publicly perhaps if no pics were revealed.

But yeaaah I do wonder about Misa too. She seems to be possessive of Io as well. So I wonder how come she got attached to her so much. Maybe cuz she’s the first REALLY REALLY submissive down bad girl she’s met. Who knows maybe her lustful and dominant feeling towards her are twisting into love

This is not a series that is going to be big on logic. So, everything you write makes sense. But it does not apply to this series.
