SO GOOD SO GOOD SO GOOD!!!
It's sweet, it's fun, it's cute and the art style is very pretty!!!
Even though I'm wlw I find it hard to enjoy gl mangas, because they often just don't "feel" right, BUT!
We've been getting so many genuinely good ones lately! "She loves to cook, she loves to eat" "The got the she liked, wasn't a guy at all" and now this! The future is looking bright and lesbian!

Idk man, I support women's rights and women's wrongs
Ok, ok, to expand on that, I find it difficult to dislike her. We, as the readers, are familiar with romance manga tropes and shoujo manga tropes, so our FL isn't really that strange to us. Fls are usually pretty naive in shoujo manga, even if it's not actually their character trait and just a plot device.
That's not the case here however, our protagonist is an extremely naive (even for a noble) shut off girl and the story constantly acknowledges it. And now, she finds herself in a place, where people can only survive by scheming and plotting.
Imagine this: You've spent most of your life in what is basically a brothel. Here, you are not a person, you are a merchandise. Everyday there are men coming and going trying to own you and your only choice is to stay valuable enough that no one can afford you. Your beauty comes with a time limit and with it does the power that gives you your freedom.
In the middle of this, a noble naive girl comes in, that (as far as you know) has been living in paradise all her life. She's effortlessly beautiful, yet she's surrounded by men who'd respect her no, and protect her anyway. She comes to you and asks you, to sell yourself, so that she can go back to her nice life as a noble. You make your living entertaining men, who'd buy your body if they could and have to listen to her demurely talking about her first love. And she wants you, to stick out her neck for her?
!!!HER, ASKING SATOKO TO HAVE SEX ISN'T WRONG OF HER, because Satoko basically told her the same thing. Satoko asked her to let herself be bought out (be forced to have sex) without thinking through what it'd imply, which makes sense, because this simply isn't Satoko's world. Satoko is kindhearted, but she's still a noble. Kissing the man she wants to marry is outrageous, but asking another woman to sell herself is not.

You explained it perfectly, I was pretty conflicted about it since Asagiri just burned Satoko's important paper bc of that old man, but ever since Satoko entered the brothel she felt so selfish to me, like, she's nice but she's willing to go home at the cost of others and not even feel guilty or realize it...

What she said:
Yall, we can still hate ppl even if they are complex characters. You all really be attacking ppl over how they feel. Kinda sounds similar to many cough*conservatives* to just name one. And honestly, me to, Idc how complex she is, right now she is annoying and it's okay to hate. I don't have to bring her whole character to judge her on the actions she's doing right now. That's why even if I disagreed I leave ppl alone or explain, but it seems the same level of peace or patience can not be said for yall. This is honestly the first time I've seen a comment section so hateful towards the readers.
Bye now

Hey, I did see your comment and others like it, but nowhere did I attack you or others for your viewpoint. In fact, I didn't write this comment for/ because of you, I wrote it, because I enjoy this manga and I enjoy talking about it. I didn't mention anyone and the comment section was full of people disliking this character at the time of commenting, so this is a bit absurd to me.
With that said, some opinions are more valid than others."The Great Gatsby is about how the rich are better at partying, than the poor" and "The Great Gatsby is about how being upper class means, that you're connections or moral character will inevitably deteriorate and will never be genuine for as long as you are in that space" are both technically true, but one is more valid than the other.
I actually don't mind the comments disliking her at all. I don't think that the author did such a great job with her, that someone interpreting her differently is foolish. Plus, this story is ongoing. She could kick a puppy in the next chapter and alas, I'd be totally wrong about her character. Your comment is, however extremely annoying.
Comparing me to "a conservative" for *having a nuanced take on a fictional female character from a manga* is insane. Ignoring that those guys are usually those, who only want female characters to be an eye-candy, did you even think about what you said? That I'm the sort of person who wants to criminalize trans and gay people, for what, liking a character you don't like?
Dislike all the characters in the world if you like, I have no issue with that, but maybe don't call people names for no reason. Because that is what you did, call me names (i.e. attacked me lol) for commenting my feelings.
I'm not going to call you a conservative or anything else, because that's silly, as I can't deduce anything about your character from this short comment, and also, because I think forcing you to sit through this long ass comment is enough of a punishment for anyone haha

I don't really understand the criticism to be honest. It's one thing, even in a middle of a tame wholesome romance a ml starts being abusive for no reason, or when a story about BDSM doesn't understand the rules of BDSM, but this doesn't claim to be any of that. I think it's like picking up a revenge manga and complaining, that the mc didn't go to the police haha.
After rereading it, it seems apparent, that the dynamic is "a tame, but secretly masochistic guy meets violent (but not sadistic), but secretly lovey-dovey guy" (sidenote: if there's any doubt about whether or not the mc is an actual masochist or slowly became one, reread the first chapter. The introduction explicitly states, that he started to seek the violence out). It's a story about how these characters develop and yeah, if he were real, he'd be an abusive ass in the first series, but he's not. You're not going to get interesting stories, if you demand moral purity out of all the main characters.
I really like that we get to see them grow together as people and the story wouldn't be nearly as good without the violent start. I also like how despite the wild premise, the story feels very grounded in it's world. Our main characters have worries outside of their romance. They're all adults and they feel like it!
To sum up:
S1- About them getting together. It's violent and dark, but it evolves into something resembling a partnership
S2- About them growing together. They realize, what they thought they wanted was completely different from what they actually wanted. Relapse of violence, which they swear off afterwards.They find support within one another.
S3- Discussing licking buttholes with the bros

I sort of miss the older, less detailed art style. It's technically prettier now, but Dorothy just looks so cute and childish. She's a person that's lived an entire life already. She's a person capable of great cruelty. She's not some innocent heroine, that should blush at every moment.

The reason she’s “blushing” it every moment - it’s because she has severe guilt and she doesn’t really know how to react because she’s literally been a tyrant that kills people be fr - they’re not making her childlike and fetishizing her. They’re simply just trying to express her emotion in the proper way - children aren’t necessarily extremely serious and angry, because they were once in empress be fr bruh
MF better get all the money he was promised, leave the jail in time and unscathed, have all of his family survive and live a happy life with them
IKRRR if ever he didn't get that im srsly gonna km/s
