Don't write a yakuza romance if you're gonna be preaching 'violence is not the answer!' Y'all trying to make yakuza monks out here.
Also, Ao would have been more sympathetic if the story acknowledged the fact that the perpetrators assaulted him, were about to rape him and talked about human trafficking and Asuka rightfully put a stop to that. Instead we got some stupid ass 'both sides are bad nonsense'. We really had the seme go 'Im sorry for going too far with the attempted rapists and human traffickers and also btw this is a yakuza setting'. Not to mention Ao's indecisive ass this chapter. Asuka deserves better fr fr.
