Zenbu Kowashite Jigoku de Aishite - Vol. 4 Ch. 18 - Strained Impurity

[tohka_la]

Love how zenwoka is just watching everything happen, truly the best characters
Now I wonder if she gonna try to but in so Koroko atk her

Well, Kurumi did reject her more than once in the beginning of the chapter until what is essentially a sexual assault happens (I like how people say variations of "Kokoro's over" every chapter but she keeps coming back to drop to newer lows lol). I did wish Kurumi put up more of a resistance but as you say, she did shut down emotionally.

I love that it's been real "Kokoro's over" hours since the start.

 

[Lowfyie]

Just leave these poor girls aloooone 😭

 

[sebaasdf]

Lol I opened p1 on the subway, I wasn't ready for that sjsjsjs. Also one user said it the previous chapter and now it is clear that Kurumi likes it rough.

 

[TanyaTheEvil]

Wow, that was one hell of a chapter, thanks for the translation

 

[calvint]

Kudou's out here giving an absolute masterclass in how, with the right mindset, you can find happiness in even the most difficult of circumstances.

Keep living your best life, masochist girl. You are an inspiration to us all.

Kurumi has been pretty consistent that her main tactics for dealing with conflicts is repressing her emotions and doing what other people want. She is learning to advocate for her needs and desires more, but it's still difficult and often more all or nothing for her. Right now she is very scared, while Kokoro is hard mode for applying this skill at the best of times. We also see that, despite everything, she still thought of Kokoro as a friend whose relationship she valued. It is Kokoro herself who rejected that this chapter.

A lot of people were wanting or expecting something different in terms of Kurumi's behavior. I find this realistic, as people don't change that quickly in general. If we compare to her behavior in previous arcs, Kurumi has been more bold and self assured, but this doesn't mean she is yet a character we could describe as bold or self assured in absolute terms.

Attacking Naoi would likely enough to get Kurumi out of her passivity and trigger the "all" angry Kurumi outburst, except Kurumi just passed out. This is a good setup for Naoi to do something knightly to save Kurumi and have Kurumi wake up next to Naoi some place safer. Though the author is good at surprise developments that defy expectations, so who knows.

Just let my girls be happy 😭

 

[Nica_S]

Who wouldn't pass out from that? Not only is Kurumi stressed asf, she's also feeling jealous

 

[Hresvelg_]

Finally some real toxic yuri. Shit's getting wild and I'm all here for it lmao

 

[emmadrew]

If Naoi's hurt enough to go to the hospital, then Kokoro's basically done. I have to wonder if that's why Naoi's dad was previously established as being so greedy. That he might try to sue Kokoro's family to get a payday for himself. Of course, he'd likely still leave Naoi to deal with the medical bills, which she couldn't afford. Which I have to wonder is a way for the story to strengthen Kudou's hold over her. Since then she'd need Kudou's money to pay off her debts.

Fairly sure that in japan, you wouldn't need to pay a medical bill for this.

 

[KitsuKyouno]

Nah, Naoi will be fine and she is the big reason to trigger all this stufff

 

[someone2795]

Kudou really out here stirring the pot for the love of the game.

 

[alanala]

FUCK KOKORO ALL MY HOMIE HATE KOKORO

 

[gold_0]

Head in hands please someone help Kurumi and Naoi

Thanks for the chapter! I'm sad about it ;-;

 

[kkakasih]

lil bro thinks shes naoi 😭💀

 

[Lustrist]

me when the low iron kicks in (big kokoro melty)

 

[Insomnia]

They're really pissing me off with just being in her goddamn house like it's a public space. Honestly, Naoi showing up was clutch and I'm happy Kokoro stopped because of it. Kokoro and the other girl need to get out of Kurumi's home though because she just wanted to sleep and be alone for once. Give her some freaking space 😅
