Zarita's manga / #Manipulation(9)

ch 45

Don't like how her boss exploits her every chance he gets. He traces her work phone hen she misses one day of work and calls in to let him know she wont be in. He tries to rape her when he finds out she was at a guys place, and he manipulates actual serious psychological phenomenon to try and force her to leave the guy she likes even when it doesn't apply to their situation. Yes, it was wrong for her main love interest to lock her in that first time, and yes... he did lie to her. But in no way was the situation a type that could result in either Stockholm syndrome or the suspension bridge effect like he tried to claim so she would leave him.

The overall story is BS. Seriously, she should have made a deal with the debtors to pretend like the debt wasn't paid off so her mother would learn her lesson. Also, what was her mom doing throughout everything? Also how did they know the exact amount she owed every time? I could understand it a bit more if it was her mom and his dads method of matchmaking them together, minus the sex of course. But seriously f'ed up.

Seriously... the story is about a brothel... there are enough built in reasons for sex that you don't have to make a female lead who would let her employees do anything to her under the premise of business. She's not kind, she's just weak willed and stupid. There is no growth, no development of characters... Just stuff to try and hide how incomplete this story really is. The main female has no backbone. She says she's in a relationship but lets a guy do whatever he wants after only knowing him for 2 days because he says he loves her. Ugh...

The only reason this gets 3* is because she made up her own mind, but seriously I would normally give a manga so steeped in harassment, manipulation, and assault 1*.

Another manipulation/assault/rape manga. She goes on a trip with her boss to try and keep her column from being removed. While there he takes soft core photos, assaults her under the premise of getting her to relax, then later gets her drunk and records a vide of him ravishing her. I don't care if she does like him, their first time is when she couldn't make an informed decision and was at his mercy.
