After yesterdays chapter I had to have a talk with the council...
.
After careful review of the previous chapter, the Council has convened and reached a unanimous verdict regarding the conduct of Mai Oduka, And her actions are unforgivable, she shows a blatant exploitation of the very rules she helped establish, used to force herself upon a girl with no means to resist, and that is the key point here, Some may argue that Renako Amaori reciprocates her feelings, which negates the criticism but such claims fall apart under scrutiny as the victim is emotionally unprepared, has explicitly expressed her communication struggles, and is incapable of clearly rejecting advances she does not want or is not ready for, Consent is not something that can be assumed simply because affection exists and it's clear Mai ignored all of this the moment she resorted to assault
While parallels can be drawn to situations found in the author’s other work, “Girls × Vampire”, that comparison does not alleviate the severity here, In that story, at the very least, one party verbally rejected the advance, establishing a boundary, Here, no such boundary was even given the dignity of being spoken, the victim had neither the voice nor the strength to stop what was happening
Adding in the events of the current chapter things don't look better as the kisses aren't addressed as a bad thing, and the exact same event happens again, the offender corners the victim and steals a kiss against her wishes, how long till a new line is crossed?
Therefore, in the interest of treating the Yuri in good faith, the Council rules the following:
A narrative punishment must be delivered
Mai Oduka must be punished and face consequences within the story itself for her actions before a similar incident can occur again, This correction is required by the chapter up to the date of this ruling
Failure to administer punishment by that time will result in the Council’s direct intervention
A Melon Will Drop.
