Yancha Gal no Anjou-san - Ch. 206 - Dad's Way of Apologising

[iamsean]

about to talk about the swimsuit stuff?

Guessing by the preface of the father apologising, authors going to make seto bend the knee and apologise for getting jealous. Cop out if true.

 

[Joseki]

I hope mom and dad can get back together. They seem like a good couple put mom needs to work on her over-jealousy.

 

[statflow]

Amazing chapter. So dad isn't a scumbag, just turns out mom is a Yandere. I like this developent lol

 

[no_name65]

Damn, mom's fine but a bit of a psycho.

So now we're set up for a situation where putting up videos with girls in bathing suits to inflate viewer and subscriber counts is OK, since otherwise the boyfriend is overly jealous and clingy?
Yeah no, that doesn't fly.
Sure, people in relations (or friendships, etc.) don't own one another. There is freedom, and personal integrity, etc.
But.
Where's the limit? Is it OK if the girlfriend is nude in published images/videos?
Sex?
I'd find it deeply problematic if my girlfriend (in swimwear) was in a video where clearly the intent is to "sell her", whether that is through direct money, or by inflating viewer/subscriber counts (which also leads to more money, if you think about it).
It is definitely something that needs to be discussed by the two.
And anyone who brings up arguments on the lines of "freedom", "boyfriends/girlfriends who try to control their partners", etc.?
The exploitation here is not from Seto's side. It's Chita who's doing it.
Also, being in a relationship means you can't do just whatever to your partner, with the excuse/argument of "personal freedom", or whatever. You need to be clear about what being together means.
And I'm not saying women should be prohibited from driving cars, voting, etc., or have to wear clothing that covers everything except their hands, or something insane like that.
What I'm saying is that a couple needs to be clear about what things belong only to that couple, whether the limit is physical closeness (hugs? kisses? (on the cheek? mouth?) pats? (on the head? ass?), sex? or other things).
I've seen relationships break because of things like these, and saying Seto is overly possessive is NOT fair here.
So. That's a starting point for me.
Also, I'm a feminist, so eff off, trolls. Furthermore, I'm an old school feminist, and a cis male. Check the definition of the word, not what some idiots on either side of the culture wars are saying/writing. It means that everyone should have the same rights, and possibilities, i.e. a level playing field - and if anyone even THINKS "Peterson", I'll come and crush your ignorant balls for you. You should know better than to take his lies for truths.

Dad's probably been flirty (or appeared to be flirty) a few too many times, so mom got triggered, and it got worse, and now it's so bad that she gets blamed, when it's actually both who should have talked about these things at an earlier stage - him laying off the flirty approach to girls, and her learning to say something NOT super hostile when he slips up, rather than bottling it up, and then going ballistic.

Very good chapter.

We're seeing progress in the Seto/Anjou relationship at the same time we get exposition on Anjou's mom and dad.

 

[JaxunHero]

Parents are having make up fun huh?

Dude calm down... Like we will see were the author goes with it but comparing nude images and sex to swimsuits is wild to me. Sure like if they talked about it would make it better and see that they both understand.

Dad's probably been flirty (or appeared to be flirty) a few too many times, so mom got triggered, and it got worse, and now it's so bad that she gets blamed, when it's actually both who should have talked about these things at an earlier stage - him laying off the flirty approach to girls, and her learning to say something NOT super hostile when he slips up, rather than bottling it up, and then going ballistic.

We have Anna saying in this chapter that "Dad having a coworker who was a woman" was the whole of the trigger for her mom's jealousy. Nothing about him actually flirting with people; just that her mom has "seemingly unrealistic" expectations of what is reasonable to ask of one's partner.
We also have that example where she's asking Dad to "message me every ten minutes", to which Dad replies "but then I won't have any time to actually work", which I assume is meant to portray that Mom has ...taken things a bit far, where her neediness and overall possessiveness is concerned.

From that, I think the inference is that Dad's not a scumbag or unfaithful or even an absentee father toward Anna, but that he's just doing his best with an overly-attached and easily-jealous woman that he loves.

That's not to say that they don't maybe need better communication, but every relationship could always used improved communication, so.

 

[UdenEmpati]

Guessing by the preface of the father apologising, authors going to make seto bend the knee and apologise for getting jealous. Cop out if true.

I actually think it'll be something different.

Anna herself is critiquing her parents' behavior in her talk with Seto up in her room. Seto is the one who says he "understands" where Anna's mom is coming from, because he sees his weird jealousy in the way Mom is acting.

So yes, Seto might try to make it entirely his own fault and problem and apologise, but I kinda suspect that Anna will interrupt him, and point out that they'd just be like her own parents; and given Anna's criticism of them just before, I feel like that setup wouldn't work for her.

Which would lead to actual communication and a validation of and working-out of Seto's feelings so that the two of them can find a solution that isn't unbalanced or a denial of one or the other.

At least that's my hope.

**Also tacking on that I think the comparison being made isn't between Seto and Anna's father, but Seto and Anna's mother. And while Seto might think he's in the wrong, after hearing Anna's gripes about how her mother acts, I don't think Anna will apply the same sentiment or critique to their relationship/Seto's behavior.

Boyo needs hugs, stat!

 

[gggadget]

Hopefully the walls at the Anjou residence aren't too thin

 

[story645]

Nothing about him actually flirting with people;

Anjou says that her dad can get overly friendly/clingy so she understands why her mom is worried before she critiques how her mom acts on those feelings, but I think that supports your point that this is setup for a conversation where his feelings get validated and then they hash out boundaries.

So that's why she always dripped out, Seto's gonna have one hell of a closet after meeting the dad
