This isn't even toxic anymore, this is downright abusive. Io's not able to say "no" because she's been an industry where saying "no" is not even an option so she's been essentially raised? groomed? to be a bit of a doormat. But she's really stuck between a rock and a hard place unless someone can remove her manager from the position. Misa is like a lesser of two evils kind of thing but unless they both evaluate how their relationship would be, it's not going to be beneficial for either party.

Manager Hase has clearly let her power over Io get to her head. But how she views Io is like Misa said, "a pet", which is a bit more dehumanizing than being Misa's "sexfriend".

But what do I know? I'm just saying things.

God Misa needs to swoop in asap and remove the manager physically. The abuse ends here. It's interesting that the manga seems to parallel the Manager's possessive feelings with Misa's, but of course the fundamental difference is that Misa respects Io as a person and her agency as such.

Now this is the Flowerchild everyone was waiting for! Yuri should be fought with yuri after all, but the manager doesn't have any redeeming quality. The Misa x Io roleplay has been delightful, but Hase is simply slaving her, even though I hate smoking that scene of Misa blowing smoke on her face was well deserved.

Ooooo things are heating up! I was definitely not expecting things to escalate this way this quickly.

Thanks for the translation!

True if her manager is removed it would remove many problems. But I feel like she’d still have many restraints as long as she’s famous and the more popular she becomes, so her in a relationship with Misa wouldn’t work out….

UNLESS she quits. honestly she should quit this celebrity life, disregarding her famous parents influence, and be a happy doormat that can chose her ONE master (and learn to be wholesome too, and not onlyyyy submissive)

Yup exactly as expected. Though the people that have read prior work of Flowerchild (and liked it, like me) already knew this was going to happen. I didn't read most of the comments this time, but I'm still going to say this...This is a fictional story, you don't need to come up with RL logics. It has no place in this manga. And be glad, most of the behavior in this manga I sure as hell wouldn't accept in my own life. That's why I love manga's a nice escape from the hellscape of reality. 🤣

Meh. I love toxic yuri, but why does the MC always have to be a boring doormat? It's just annoying.
Because Japan society? Have you ever read how the workplace of an average salaryman is? Or Japanese society in general. Speaking out is a not the norm. I translate that in not really saying what you mean. If you grow up in an environment like that you're bound to be passive as fuck. Though yeah, it is indeed extremely annoying. Doesn't help that Io is hardcore into being a sub... 🤣
