"The children of darkness have nothing to do with the children of the Light."

Well they are running out of kids so eventually the problem will end by sheer lack of supply



It is illegal, but Japan has a particular obsession with high school girls to such a degree I think they are the foremost country when it comes to sexualizing teenagers

It is crazy that their society considers their peak of marketeability to be around 17, by 20 they are already on their way out, and by 25 they should retire or marry, and if they reach 30 while single they may as well be dead and buried

These rules around the consumerism of entertainment also extends to regular daily life interactions, a woman being hired into a company is only expected to last a couple of years, because of the social imaginary that they will be there only to find a husband and transition into becoming a housewife, so things like a career advancement or employment benefits for women are rarely considered

Marital life itself also follows that dynamic, after the first 2 children, which coincides with the wife reaching their 30s, the father pretty much distances himself from the family, between living at work and confiding into young mistresses, it is the mother who now has to be in charge of raising the kids, maintaining the house, and managing the finances (acting as family accountant)

This broken dynamic was highly dependent of the historical economic bubbles that Japan had enjoyed, in which a family could be sustained by just one money earner, and in which company loyalty was highly rewarded, neither of those things are true today, there's less money and less job security, the market offer is lower, and people end with lower earning jobs, however the household dynamics remain the same

This in consequence makes it so that people are less likely to get together and start a family, because the economic landscape can't accommodate the social expectations


Less new families lead to less children, which leads to Lee's teenagers, which then feeds directly into their obsession with teenagers, which now also become rare priced goods, women historically have always been seen as things to be owned by their husbands within patriarchal societies, but in this case in the absence of the marriage institution, they morph into becoming publicly traded goods, things that can be rented, rather than as fellow human beings

Thus girls will try to make use of their assets while they can earn them the most money while they are on the socially perceived peak of attractiveness

All of that and in the reality people are just horny and acting on a whim, simply motivated by emotion rather than logic. In several countries, even those with high birth rates, similar things are happening right now. Humans are just animals.

The balls on the author to touch this topic this directly. Interested in how the teach resolve this, because this is deeply rooted stuff

Interesting.. Yet I fail to see a situation where he could solve this, this is a rampant issue across big cities in Japan after all. However, I'm welcome to be proven wrong.

young girls look at adults like black pubes.

Ethics teacher will end at that and a new student will be on the next chapter. This is not like the gal in chapter 1 that fell head over heels for him.

So something I've noticed that's been glossed over is that she says

"I have to earn my daily meal money by myself every day."

Which implies, that not only is she doing this because of personal issues but because of external financial ones too.

 

[RexNemorensis]

Sure, you can hate her and call her a slut, but that says more about you than about her.

Yeah? What does it say about me? I know it's not that I'm wrong.

 

[tobias5678]

U

So something I've noticed that's been glossed over is that she says

Which implies, that not only is she doing this because of personal issues but because of external financial ones too.

Look at her stuffed toy and you can see she is not using those money.

She is doing it because of peer pressure. She admits it does not feel good.

Hence, the cloud of darkness.

 

[tobias5678]

Made for the streets.

Due to BAD company. Misery loves company.

 

[yun1que]

Damn

 

[Disguised22]

Thanks for the chapter

i think when she says that she's talking about her friend earlier, hence the words "that seems tough"
(also her mom is clearly on other room watching tv)

I love other teachers also getting depicted as good hearted and well meaning people that want to help their students,
after all that evil teacher that hate their students from other manga, its a nice change.

 

[ColorlessBoy]

Not only that, but she had an abusive upringing with her biological parents, which probably decimated her self esteem. It's a recipe for self destructive behavior like prostitution. Even when she reached out to the nice lady teacher, the idea of a young girl being promiscuous is repulsive to most adults and difficult to address, which is why a weird brooding ethics teacher is needed.

That wasn't her, that was her friend. She was comparing herself to the friend and saying "yeah, she has these reasons why she got into this kind of thing, I understand that, but so what if my life wasn't messy like hers, I still got my reasons"

 

[oedon]

Japan is a really fucked up society huh

 

[TheTenk]

Judgemental people tend to be hypocrites so not surprised by this girl. No sympathy though.
