i totes get how you feel, but back in those times any extra mouth to feed was a nuisance. esp for the head of the house, if you don't bring any money to the table (as in customers) then you’re useless and worthless. Still it’s weird how she’s on this power-trip
Maybe I'm misunderstanding it but the way I interpreted it is that Mitsueda wants to send her away because he loves or cares about her and wants her to be able to live her own life away from the corrupt island.
I've wondered about that too! It is likely that he thinks that way. However, it still sounds unfair for asagiri. Since it may be quite rare for a good man to *buy* her out of the island.
Even if mitsueda's intentions are out of "love", the possible consequences (on asagiri, if his little plan succeeds) is out of his control. Why sacrifice her freedom for a gamble?
That's why i think this turn in the story doesn't make sense. at least, to me. :") but well. Let's see how it'll turn out!
That I agree but she didn't have to burn that paper (nothing to do with her)
Oh yeah, it was definitely that kind of system huh.
She is bringing in money, she just refuses to be controlled, that's why she is a bother to mitsueda
Asagiri's got her own form of *freedom*. She became powerful enough to make decisions of her own volition and yet some mitsueda guy wants to send her off just because she's a disturbance to the island? (bc she's not accepting any customers or whtvr)
Wow! Name me another nonsense plot device!! Now people hating on her bc she's acting like a *bitch*. UH?? Yes she is and rightfully so??? Imagine just enjoying ur freedom after being a prosti for so long then some teenagers ganging up on you so u can be bought off to some sleazy rich mf. Again, shackled to a man.
But then everyone have their reasons right?? I'm personally annoyed with Satoko's mindset. But even that is valid bc of the context of her life story.
