Welp its a cold day in hell, never thought that would happen. Thought they would save the kiss till the end.
I feel like she’s jealous and wants to ruin her purity and innocence. Because she never got a chance to leave or love herself.
This is the most patriarchal take I’ve seen. Asagiri has gained something almost no woman has in this world and time period —power. Purity??? Really?? There’s no such thing. Asagiri is not less than because she’s a prostitue nor does she hate herself. She feels like she finally helped herself and now some man wants to come buy her off once she finally found her path and place. You all talk like this and then probably also call yourselves feminists.
Its still weird that she asked her to sleep with him. That has nothing to do with requesting that of Satako. Asagiri was wrong. And she dislikes Satako. Which is a fact. You don’t just ask a young girl to sleep around. Also never said she hated herself.
She is coming from her own world view. Do you think Asagiri wasn’t being told to have sex as a young girl? It’s her whole world view. In a time where the concept of purity was seen as a woman’s value, she was bought and sold since who knows when. So Asagiri HAD to confront the patriarchy and purity culture and her sexuality and she found freedom in it once she overcame the shame of her “purity” being stripped from her. You’re missing all of the socioeconomic aspects that set them apart and that impact their experiences of womanhood. For Asagiri, it’s safe to assume she doesn’t feel shame about sleeping with who she wants to, which is how modern women feel or strive to feel. Shes not going to actually force her. She’s playing mind games with Satako. Satako wants to kiss and be intimate with the guy she loves just like anyone, but she’s going to stop herself because she thinks her virginity (a fake concept) is owed to her father and her only worth/thing she has to offer so she can’t offer it to who she wants when she wants. THAT is what this arc is setting up to address
Also, sleeping with the guy she likes and wants to marry if she didn’t think she owes her life and body to her father is not “sleeping around”. Women can have sex with their parters and people they like. That’s not sleeping around. You’re acting like she told Satako to be a prostitute
He’s literally two timing. Like babe please stop going back and forth. If he sleeps with Tj then sleeps with Jo one more time I’m officially labeling him as unlikeable. Him and Jo seemed good and without any remorse he sleeps with Tj. Then he sleeps with Jo, then some other guy then Jo then Tj. Like DAMN stop! Im all for belonging to no one but at some point it becomes ridiculous.
Exactly. Like even though no one was official, I can’t help but feel like they are being stringed along. Although i’m not sure about TJ since Ian seems to have some type of deep feelings for him. But I really need Ian to make up his mind.
Did I just not read correctly? Why did she go with him if she just said she loved Shinpei im confused.
He forced her
He pull her
“What light through yonder window breaks? It is the East, and Juliet is the sun! Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, Who is already sick and pale with grief That thou her maid art far more fair than she.” —William Shakespeare
This was high key insane, some scenes were so quirky I chuckled. But it was also concerning. Him getting stabbed never would have crossed my mind. Loved it.
I wanna drop this so bad
WHAT why
I love the characters but it’s moving way to slow for me
The dialogue was so good this chapter
