Why are corsets described as women's hell when historically speaking literally EVERYONE (women AND men) were wearing them ?! And they weren't just for aristocrats/rich people/etc... but for everyone including the working class so now tell me how you're supposed to work if you're incapable of breathing ? And apparently, our ancestors were SOO stupid they couldn't figure that no breathing meant big big troubles by everyone standards... (same ancestors that however could survive with no electricity, informatics, automated stuff and others modern world's technologies ; when most of US clearly can't survive without social media)
It's infuriating to see how no research on a subject can create so much misinformation and even more when you learn how this "corset is hell, a woman shouldn't wear it" was created by men trying to control the few powers that women were gaining at this time by not allowing them to create stuff they liked and as always jugging them by how they dressed/wanted to feel with their body (men's corsets were made by men and women's corsets by women, so "women's corsets are hell" = "come on girl, stop working and gaining money, I'll tell you how to dress and I'll keep you dependent on my money and my standards")

As said below, well-adjusted corsets were super comfortable because they were made FOR and ON you, they were worn on top of a thin cloth (which was in fact well shown in the manga, to my surprise), a corset (and its ancestor the stray) was the premice to our bras so why would we shame a woman for wearing it if she wants to ? And lastly, of course, a corset tightly laced as described in this manga or in some caricatural pictures of this time (yes people knew what humor and exaggeration were, even back then) would create some changes in the body but archeology showed us that it's more of a myth than a real fact that every woman was crippled by her corsetry. In fact, even nowadays corsets are used in the medical field to prevent troubles caused by pathologies (scoliosis, spondylolisthesis... name it or ask our friend : google).

If we're sooo worried by body's deformities caused by what we wear, let's talk about high heeled shoes or normal high healed ones that almost never follow the biomechanics of the foot and the human body in general, and cause incredible dysmorphisms and pain (of course mostly to women because they're the ones who HAS TO wear them)...

I may sound rude and bitchy, but I'm just trying to do my part by informing, stopping misinformation by giving everyone most of the whole picture. I was also ignorant at some points in my life, and I still am on some topics BUT NOT on this one so please let's keep our mind open and clear IRL (=・ω・=)
