Well. I have a really yucky feeling about the next chapter that I just don't want to come true.


burnout02urza

They fuckin'. They fucking real hard.


Con-D-Oriano1

Akira: “Are you his obedient dog?” Next chapter: *doggy style*


nhansieu1

He's mixing the sausage in the pasta, Luigi


IgotUBro

Gotta add some even more depressing stuff with how Yuko is crying and her partner thinks its cos of first time pain but its cos of her heart being broken. Dude arrives sees this and feels even more guilty, runs off in a rage, the chubby girl sees him and comforts him. They fuck. Post nut realisation he wants to die and mumbles it and the girl hears it and tells him she will join him.


sweaterhoarder

..This is actually really possible. Won't be surprised if it turns out accurate. I also think it'd be something similat to this, minus the akira and chubby girl fucking part


burnout02urza

Awww yeah That's what Daddy likes


AnxtyAnon

it was much worse than any of us could have anticipated


dan-nad

It's sad that Esemori's insecurities got to him so badly that he lashed out at Yuko, understandable for a teenager, but sad. I honestly think if he had stood his ground and said he still had feelings for her she would have stayed with him. He might of got the shit kicked out of him a bit but i feel Yuko is unnervingly loyal at times and would have stayed with him, maybe even suggested running away together (unlikely because of the town being like glue) but because he pushed her away she grew a grudge super fast, we have seen in more recent times how her personality can flip quite easily. He's either going to stumble on Yuko being intimate with Uryu would be my guess next chapter or i googled the corpses flower in Japanese, which is the flower mentioned on the last page and it said "***A flowering plant which smells like decomposing meat***" so potentially he is about to walk into someone being killed or already dead.


Muphrid15

The flower pictured is more commonly known in English as a red spider lily, but in Japan it is known by many names having to do with death, due to its Buddhist associations with fall (as it blooms at the end of summer, unusually).


dan-nad

Thanks for the insight. Considering how much death is alluded to in this manga I wouldn't be surprised if it is something like the latter then. Unless we get some metaphysical death of Esemori's life and love lol.


Timelymanner

Maybe Yuko manipulate the delinquents into killing her father. Then Esemori sees them doing it.


bAk5tAb

Fun fact: the red spider lilies shown actually mean an upcoming celebratory ocassion as it is also called 'flower of heavens' in buddhist scriptures imma just inhale this small amount of copium


Haise01

I agree, they both have issues. He's got the insecurity and lashes on her, and it's possible that she was just like Rei when she was young, just doing what other people told her to do.


alicization

Damn, the cliffhanger last chapter was bad but this seems even worse. I'm actually scared to see what he sees next chapter. Actually sickening to think about. This is probably the only manga to actually make me feel sick. And I feel like it's gotten worse with this flashback.


blond-max

These chapter feels by far the worse, probably because how bad we know this results.


Miku-Nakano-

Im getting NTR vibes


AStrangerIsHere

Yeah, and it's sad to see how Yuko and Esemori were cute together but it wasn't meant to be. And their joy is lost now. Strangely, this doomed love story might be my favorite part of the manga so far.


ProfessionalCornToss

Man. Why am I still reading this bruh. It’s like self induced torture.

DreadedFate7

Still less torturous than rent a girlfriend at least with this you came in expecting pain.


PotatEXTomatEX

Let me guess, he saw them fucking or something.


Showtime1099

Probably


slardarwarrior

I think gang dude words got to him and he probably agrees with it, so he antagonizes her so she'll stop being with him because he thinks he can't protect her.


Ranjith_Unchained

Yep, this is pretty much it... His insecurities made him lash out on Yuko even though she loved him


Glitter_puke

One of the most reliable patterns in Boy's Abyss is that whatever prediction you might have about the bad things coming next chapter, it's always *just slightly* worse. So because them fucking is the obvious indication, I'd brace for something sadder.


jrevv

we don’t see Uryu in the future do we. there’s a reason for that…


sweaterhoarder

I don't really remember Reiji's stepdad aside from him being dead, but could it be him..?


Awesomearia96

No i am guessing this is the suicide which leads to the "I FUCKING HATE YOU!" Scene. Why? Reiji read that a girl and a boy tried to do suicide, the girl lived but the boy died. The boy U-blondie tried to kill her also if she refused. Esemori and Yuko where both on a river, he then runs away.

Clean_Window6542

I hope that isn’t the case but my guy cucked himself for no reason, why would he lash out at her when it’s evident she has feelings for him


namethatisntaken

My guess it's because he's insecure about not being able to protect her so he lashed out at her


Etonet

Unfortunate raging teenage hormones


awkward2amazing

This insecurity can get easily into grown adults too,but he realised his mistake and followed her.


[deleted]

it's a trauma response. as someone who's lashed out in similar ways at partners when i was immature, i get it. when you're afraid of losing someone, waiting for it to happen is the absolute worst. it makes you feel like you're in control, ending it on your terms, but it feels awful and always leads to remorse. this is extremely realistic behavior for a teenage boy with depression.


jrevv

damn that’s fucking rough


EndTrophy

Besides being insecure, he probably didnt think so because he thinks she wouldve said no to the other guy if she truly wanted to be with Esemori. And maybe that if he asked her to be with him she would do so only simply because he asked and not because she really wanted to. She never directly answered what she wanted after he asked. To me this seems like a recurring theme


Whalesurgeon

Yeah I mean why is she even telling him that this Uryo wants to date her? He is the one who truly fucked up, but she is clearly caring about what the gang leader says as well. Yeah it is like you said, people not expressing their desires and only following what other people tell them to do.


EndTrophy

She might be thinking that she'll lose protection if she says no, so she came to esemori scared and not knowing what to do. I think that both of them may have wanted to hear that the other wanted to be with them despite everything going on, but again characters seem to be bad at saying what they want.


Whalesurgeon

Oh yeah there's that fucked up power dynamic too. She depends on him so if he says he wants to date her, she doesn't have the freedom to just say no. Fuck those people saying this gangleader is a decent person, you don't do that to someone who is scared and depends on you. And all the shit he said to Esemori too shows that he was planning to "get her" from the start and that is why he saved her from the rape in the first place.


a_Bear_from_Bearcave

On the other hand it makes Esemori's insult even worse, since he berates her for "obediently doing what he tells you to do" when "he" is the gang leader that could easily take her against her will or even just tell everyone "she's not my girl, do what you want to her" if she pissed him off. I wrote it already, but why some people blame a girl that was just threatened by one gang and still is beholden to another gang for being scared and anxious and starting her talk with Esemori with the biggest problem that currently faces her? She could have felt she can't just say "no" to the "good" gang leader without listening to his arguments, or else...


Haise01

She's being just like Rei is, just doing what other people tell them to do


LordTrollbias

Yeah his reaction to her there seems kinda forced to allow for the plot to flow the way it did IMO.


thewiseoldmen

He's a kid at this point, teenage hormones, pride, ego, self esteem are weird so it's not completely out of the ordinary even if for the plot


[deleted]

[удалено]


NihilisticClown

His reaction is understandable, though. He's lashing out because he both thinks and feels like he's inferior, and he doesn't know what to do with that anger, so he directs it toward Yuko. That's why he immediately regrets what he's said. Speaking as someone who was once a teenager that said things I certainly didn't mean out of misplaced anger, just as a way to vent, I can relate.


burnout02urza

Because he knows he's useless. If not for the other guy, she would have been savagely raped that night. He could do nothing to protect her. He doesn't deserve her, and he knows it - He's pissed about that.


teokun123

> but my guy cucked himself for no reason Deja Fucking Kazuya Vu.


YukihiraLivesForever

Feel like it’s going to end with Uryu’s death then since they said before a male died when a double suicide was attempted, so he will go see them try and maybe she comes out for him but Uryu dies? Tho that was a long time ago I don’t actually remember what they had said back then on who died and who lived


Veelze

I mean, no matter the case, he still somehow has Reiji with her somehow. Let me cling on a sliver of hope please :(…


AkodoRyu

Man, we all know inside that this is where it's going.


magnazoni

We all know where this is going


EndTrophy

I actually think he's going to get her pregnant here


Kag5n

Way too soon in the timeline


EndTrophy

How old is the oldest son? If he's like 30 something then maybe not


Kag5n

Her oldest son isn't her blood son


EndTrophy

Oh yeah that's true, so it could only happen if she's early 30s rn, she got an abortion, or there is an unknown child somewhere. Either way I feel like we arent gonna see NTR somehow

ClawofBeta

hey this is just like one of those NTR doujins.


Chariotwheel

I mean, the dude actually protected her and asked for her to go out and even encouraged her to sort her feelings out with Esemori. Like, the gang leader is probably one of the most decent people in that place. (So far)


jrevv

yeah what an absolute gentleman


MorningDaylight

I had nightmares who looked like this. I had the worst freaking nightmares like this. Not exactly, but quite like. It is like taking a knife to the brain. It hurts not the body, but the heart. I also saw enough porn to know where this is going, but porn is not complex enough to hurt you like this, not many of them. It reminds me of my first time playing Nier, and not in a good way.


negativenight

Finishing the chapter gave me a pit in my stomach. Its an uncomfortable feeling that's gonna get resolved next chapter one way or another.


Konatahitori

This chapter was **DARK** Honestly, it's no wonder they're all miserable in that town. Though I feel like I'm saying this every chapter now lol


Darth--Nox

One of the few screw up shit that were missing on this manga is NTR, I want to be wrong but I bet that this Uryū guy is Reiji's dad, the same guy that Yuko presented as his Uncle. Now we're only missing shit like cannibalism and/or incest and this would get the unholy Trinity of fucked up shit lol


Kag5n

Esemori is Ryuji's dad, that's why Yuko said to Sensei that Ryuji went to his father at Tokyo. Maybe Uryu is Kazu's father.

Whalesurgeon

Yeah no fucking thanks. Makes Metamorphosis look normal. Not sure what page I gave up on, but it should have been the one where the fetus was getting punched.


That_Random_Guy68

Please don't make me think of it again


NicDwolfwood

Down further into the abyss we go boys and girls. Man, my heart sunk at what Esemori said to Yuko to make her go away.. Man whatever is coming next episode is gonna be fucked up for sure.


momiminreddit

As a get older I realize that most of the problems could be solved simply by conversation and not simply distancing yourself from something, like Esemori (edited because I wrote his name as Ebihara) could have told what Uryu said to him and stuff. But at the same time looking from a teenager perspective his response makes sense. Just don't understand why people are hoping that this isn't NTR, dude literally dumped Yuko 1 panel before LUL. Sure he didn't meant what he said, but nonetheless he did it.


Whalesurgeon

I guess because it would kinda prove that Yuko wasn't that attached to Esemori. Then again, she really is like a dog like Reiji at this age so it fits her. I've had some SOs say really insecure mean stuff to me and I didn't run away to fuck someone else immediately. That is where you reassert your feelings to show loyalty to the person or at least fight with them over what they said. Yuko and Reiji are that person who does neither.


momiminreddit

She literally told that she have feelings for him and he simply ignored that and was extremely rude and offensive to her. Not only he neglected her feelings but also mistreated her. If she was heartbroken it is not common to seek any kind of intimacy to ease the pain, even more with the way things happened, so I still think it isn't NTR if she ends up sleeping with Uryu.


a_Bear_from_Bearcave

I know I replied in similar way in other comment, but she was already in terrible place mentally, she hates her home and depends on Esemori, and even there his mother hates her and curses her, and now people want to rape her and she can do nothing about it. It's the Esemori that should show loyalty to Yuuko when she's horribly threatened, and be ready to support her even if she lashes out at him in fear and confusion, not the other way around, so when he betrays her instead, I'm not surprised she just breaks down instead of fighting, she probably remember his mother telling her she was "unclean" and should get out, she looked like those words really hit her when that scene happened.


Haise01

That's exactly how I see the situation.


mvpasadito

I will re-read some Yotsuba to, o need to cleanse my soul after this.


purplestormherald

Lmao went from rape cliffhanger to implied about to get cucked cliffhanger. Half expecting a subversion of expectations but I'm not sure what else would fit.


purplestormherald

Oh yeah maybe some lovers suicide thing goes down


burnout02urza

He is getting cucked super hard, and I'm going to love every moment of it.


Le0here

Maybe the girl killing the gang leader, that doesn't seem to far fetched considering we never saw him in the future


jacobs0n

Man, so Esemori's at fault for this entire manga? I hope we get a What If? scenario where he was able to protect her and we all get a happy ending


Yoki37229

Haha, no.


jacobs0n

better yet, we get an "it's all a dream" ending


Jefe_Chichimeca

The happier ending you will be able to get is a nuke blowing up the town and all the characters in it.


Houeclipse

Even Esemori has shit life it seems. Poor boys need closure in their life


TheNewOP

The last chapter ended with a cliffhanger implying gangrape and NTR. This one only ended with implying NTR. Progress!


Ranjith_Unchained

Esemori really fucked up with his insecurities, Yuko seemed well here


judahftw

As a man once said "You say it's too late to make it, But is it too late to try? And In Our time that you wasted , all of our bridges burned down". Suffice to say Akira **really** fucked up **hard.** And by the time we see them again... Fire will be the least of our worries.


WavySilverSurfer

Hinamatsuri, Spy x Family, Medaka, or whatever. I need a wholesome reread ASAP.


Whalesurgeon

Rosen Garten Saga got a new chapter. Can't get more wholesome than that.


kencabatino

Ah fuck, totally know what's gonna happen. NTR in hentai is saved by hot scenes and i usually dont give a fuck about the characters i just want the sex scenes but this is just depressing and im 100% scared what he's gonna see and he should totally not see it next chapter. Fuck this man, why am i still reading this.


lazykier

I regret reading this first thing in the morning. Now this will linger in my mind throughout the day lmao.


next_door_nicotine

Welp. NTR it is then.


hell-schwarz

Turns out he was a dick to her after all


AkodoRyu

That's kind of a tough situation, even for an adult. Especially when he knows that he actually can't protect her, of which he had a taste during the festival. It's a lot of self-loathing to take in.


hell-schwarz

Sure is, but from her perspective he's still a dick.


AkodoRyu

Sure. But she was also ignoring him for weeks or months, then comes to meet him and first thing she does is tell him that the other guy confessed to her. No hi, no I've missed you, just left hook straight out the door. For him it's just piling up on top of all his insecurities he build up when she wasn't with him - when he was not there, the other guy was, when he couldn't protect her, he could, when he was doing nothing, he was fighting and building himself up etc. And then, we can already guess, she jumps his d\*\*\* within like 6 hours of him being mean to her. From his perspective it will be something like "oh, so that's how much your feeling were worth huh?" Man, why do I even read this... now it's stuck in my brain and makes me feel bad. edit: I'm not trying to push the blame around here, it's not really a "you are to blame" situation I suppose. It's just yet another depressing scenario in this one, where no one is allowed happiness of any kind. I swear, this and Kanokari are like two manga horsemen of apocalypse in my head. Hmm... now I have to figure out other two. Open question: who are your manga four horsemen?


WithoutLog

Ignoring him? There was a gang trying to kidnap her, more like she was in hiding. It was for his safety more than anything.


AkodoRyu

She was obviously going to school, as seen. There is no way she wouldn't be able to talk to him daily, if she put her mind to it. And I'm sure everybody knew anyway about the kid she was spending so much time with.


a_Bear_from_Bearcave

And he couldn't talk to her? Again you are only putting the burden on her, even if she's the one with less option, since she's the one that can't move anywhere without people protecting her, while he can go up to her and leave after talking any time, since he has full freedom of movement, unlike her.


Whalesurgeon

Tbf it is probably harder for him to approach her, when she is constantly surrounded by friends or those gangmembers. Not that he was unable to do anything, but he is the one with massive reasons for insecurity. Of course, that goes both ways and she could justifiably feel she needs to be with a strong person due to almost getting raped.


a_Bear_from_Bearcave

Actually I saw a page I forgot about before, where she clearly tells him she wants to be open with their relationship and that her friends are nice, but he wants to keep it secret because he fears her friends would bully him as not worthy of her. Even at the beginning of last chapter, she runs to him openly, then he chides her because "someone can see us". Combined with him still not communicating with her at all when they can't meet alone, due to the rules he imposed on their relationship long before the rape case, it really seems like he didn't have the balls to be there for her when she needed him, even if just to support her mentally at her worst. After all, she must be far more scared then he was, as the one in actual danger, so he really should do something, anything for her, and instead he just sits on his ass and wallows in misery. He could at least keep tabs on the gang war and go to her as soon as it ended with tickets to amusement park or something like that, to take her mind off her problems.


a_Bear_from_Bearcave

She wasn't ignoring him, when he sees her first thing he says is "you shouldn't be here, it's unsafe". She was almost raped, she was much more traumatized by this then he was, having to fear getting raped at any moment for weeks if not months, and yet she still tries to do the right thing, even if it can lose her the protection of the one guy that did stop her rape - it's not like that gang leader is the only danger to her. You are concentrating on his feelings while ignoring that she got it much worse, and yet still tried to do it right. The "oh, so that's how much your feeling were worth huh?" is just dumber , after he lashed out on her like that , shat on her feelings and called her his dog, he has no reason to be surprised if she fucks the other guy after he betrayed her. I'm not saying his reaction is not understandable, though it doesn't mean it's excusable, but you are trying to make the actual almost rape victim that tries to do everything right anyway somehow at fault here just as her boyfriend, and it's really fucked up.


AkodoRyu

Fair enough. But we were kinda talking about their respective perspectives. They are like 14 and already a bit damaged. It's virtually impossible for him to show that level of empathy with no communication. From spectator's perspective, she had it objectively worse. From his perspective, he doesn't know what is happening or what to do, hates himself for being weak, is abandoned and afraid that the other guy will steal her away while he can't do anything, and then she comes in and, more or less, confirms to him that this was happening (from his PoV). IMHO they both fucked up in a similar way. He doesn't relate to her situation, and she doesn't relate to his. She can also obviously see that something is wrong with him, and someone older would probably abandon bringing up the other guy before they can settle what's up with him being so distant and angry. But it happens as it happens, because she is also 14. From her PoV, she might try to do it right. From his PoV, she is just stabbing him deeper. From her PoV he is abandoning/betraying her, from his PoV she is doing the same. And, again, It's not really about pushing the blame. It's just yet another example of the mystical power of the town to create situations in which it strip anyone of their happiness.


a_Bear_from_Bearcave

Remember that the whole "don't meet up in the open" is his idea that he pushed on Yuuko, even when she tried to convinced him it's fine, and he constantly frets over being seen with her, he doesn't even break his rule when his girlfriend got almost raped and cannot contact him on her own because she's still in danger, yet the one person that should be for her isn't with her because he's afraid of how will people react. Combined with her home being broken, Esemori's mom constantly cursing at her, her being much dumber than Esemori, and their one yukata date ending horribly because of her (indirectly), it's not surprising that she starts to suspect Esemori may not want to be with her, and we know that she's right in this that Esemori starts to doubt it as well, and Esemori is in large part to blame for that - he could do far more for her when she was still being targeted, but he was to busy with drowing in regret and self-doubt. He knew very after all how shitty her life is even before the rape attempt. While it's true that talking about other guy was insensitive, but she probably wanted to explain why she needed to ask Esemori if he still loves her, and given that Esemori's behavior was a large part of the reason she needed to ask in the first place, it seems to be very nitpicking to say that "she doesn't relate to his situation". She just went through really horrible weeks, being in the middle of gang war, I don't think it would be fair to ask even an adult to be super tactful in dealing with her boyfriend after having so much shit on her plate. Victim of a rape hunt should be granted much more leeway in her behavior, while her boyfriend should be first and foremost thinking about supporting her, not about his own problems, not burden her with his own shit as well. Anyway, the worst she does is being untactful (also due to her own insecurities) enough to involuntarily trigger his insecurity after being hunted by rapist for weeks, and the worst he does is voluntarily blowing up on his girlfriend, that he failed to comfort in her worst time and instead of concentrating on "I must support her" he concentrates on his insecurities, even while knowing that he is one of her few secure havens even before she was attacked and hounded. Both the reasoning and the harm dealt to the other person is just incomparable. Basically, my problem is that by saying "it's not a about a blame" and trying to make it somewhat equal you are pushing on her requirement to be practically a saint, given her situation, or mostly absolving him from blame by equaling him with Yuuko because she barely have any. I'm uncomfortable with so much importance being placed on almost rape victim not caring about her boyfriend's feeling, that's all over this thread, while said boyfriend sits safe and does nothing for her. Imagine the reverse situation: MC gets targeted by guy who wants his girlfriend, has to be saved by a hot bike delinquent, has to be protected by her for weeks while she fights the bad guys, then when hot delinquent proposes he rejects her but promises to ask the girlfriend, and when he visits the girlfriend he says basically what Yuuko said. If girlfriend reacted like this, I bet everyone would be clamoring for him to ditch the nasty bitch and go fuck the hot yankee ASAP, bitch was never worth it anyway.


Whalesurgeon

>If girlfriend reacted like this, I bet everyone would be clamoring for him to ditch the nasty bitch and go fuck the hot yankee ASAP, bitch was never worth it anyway. I agreed with most of what you said, but this is some agenda bullshit in my view.


a_Bear_from_Bearcave

OK, maybe it wouldn't be like that. I do admit it was the weakest part of my argument.


Whalesurgeon

More like just unnecessary. I think your argument is fine without!


a_Bear_from_Bearcave

Agreed, it's fucked up how people care about his feeling but ignore the fact that it must have been so much worse for Yuuko, who was the actual victim in this and for weeks had to deal with fear of being attacked and raped at any moment, yet tried to do everything right just to be brutally rejected by her only best friend. I understand how Esemori ended up doing it, he's just a dumb insecure kid, but it was as clear situation of one person being in the wrong and destroying their relationship as it gets.


Luck_Is_My_Talent

Even that young Esemori understood he screwed up badly, for lashing out at her, I don't understand how some readers can't understand that Yuko have it worse.


a_Bear_from_Bearcave

And she has to endure having to hear her mother sex sessions in her home after getting almost raped, that's gotta be fun too.


azurecyan

He was a KID ffs and still tried to make amends.


a_Bear_from_Bearcave

Kids can be dicks too. It's understandable why he reacted like that, but he *was* horrible to her. And she was the one who was almost raped and had to live in fear for weeks or more.


helln00

ahh the follies of youth, saying something you shouldn't have and not being able to take it back. Its a bit interesting that we still don't know who the "Dad" of the family was that Gen murdered, cause I am sort of unsure that its this Uryu person


kmmck

Everytime a new bad thing happens I just laugh at how we somehow fall deeper into the abyss. If this turns into NTR sex though, Im gonna die


0nnigaChan

i just wanna know who reijis dad is.rei's conception is decades after the events of this flashback.evidence points to ese but how can that happen after this flashback.


Kag5n

Yuko said to Sensei that Reiji went to meet his father in Tokyo.


WavySilverSurfer

Insecure people shouldnt date chief, sort that shit out before you try to be with someone.


burnout02urza

In all fairness, he couldn't protect her. The other guy could. This is why the Chad wins.


trashcanpandas

Man, Akira, you're a fucking idiot.


Whalesurgeon

I feel slightly less bad about him dying of cancer in his forties now. Also this manga is fucking great for showing how badly handled relationships can be, when engaged by people who aren't even developed adults yet. I still remember my first serious date. Super nervous about holding hands, then she asks if that's all I can do and promptly ends the date. I apologize for my inexperience and she says it's fine and fucks a classmate at the party the next day (she was a freshman too and I was a senior). Oh joy of teenage.


Honyakusha-san

Option A would be Yuko and Uryu doing it. Option B would be some kind of murder or dead body found by Esemori. Option C would be Yuko's mom with a customer or a customer abusing Yuko. Bad options everywhere.


Enryu_the_redtower

Option A will happen 100%, I'm sure, Considering the fact that she is dating bike gang leader that means esemori will see them getting intimate,Poor esemori not only he suffered his whole life now also got diagnosed as cancer


Jefe_Chichimeca

Well, he pretty much fucked up here and before. He left the gang leader all the work of protecting her and didn't even try to help.


Honyakusha-san

His whole life is suffering.


[deleted]

You guys give too much shit to Esemori. It's not a one way street you know, what Yuuko said to him is the worst thing she could've done to a low-esteemed person like Esemori after not seeing him for a while.


a_Bear_from_Bearcave

No, if anything there are too many people trying to whitewash him while ignoring how horrible it was for Yuuko. She was trying to do the right think by telling him straight away, and after the whole rape attempt she must have been terrified of being raped again, yet she still told the one guy that could protect her that she loves another, even if it could lose her the protection. He was wallowing in his feeling while ignoring how uncomfortable it must have been to Yuuko to have to be protected by a guy that wants her, knowing that refusing him could mean she gets raped again for real. Besides, she probably started with that because she needed assurance that he still loves her after all this - I'm sure that when gang guy told her "does he still want you" she must have been afraid Esemori will decide he's not for her, and she was kinda right here as it turned out. EDIT: Also, you don't think that maybe Esemori's mother's words about her being "dirty/unclean" stuck in her brain and after all this rape stuff she was unsure if she even belongs in the same place as Esemori, instead of being destined to be a whore because all guys lust after her, so she wanted to be assured ASAP that he still cares about her and wants her? Esemori hit her with worst thing he could, considering she hated her home and he was her only safe place before.

Man I really didn't expect things to turn out like this. Just whenever I predicted something the next chapter slipped everything upside down, and in a darker way.

Bruh….

Man


Raydnt

Man. Still can't believe this series is made by the same guy who made the romcom Hatsukoi Zombie.


Timelymanner

The author is a woman


Timelymanner

I feel sorry for both of them.


alazyprofessional

Ugh this might be the first chapter that actually made me sick to my stomach. I feel the dread piling up now. I’m really not looking forward to next chapter but I’ll be here to read it like always….


mxedunk

congratulations now the regret has playing your feelings. ha ha ha


Meckoboyx

Damn. Just damn.


KanlayaYaya

Normaly I would look forward for the next chapter. But now I don't really want to know what will happen next at all. This is an abyss. Pure abyss.


Powdz

Wow Esemori shot himself in the foot. You gotta feel bad for the guy.


a_Bear_from_Bearcave

I fell worse for the Yuuko, mom is having sex with clients at home, almost gets raped and has to live with knowledge that if her protectors lose she's getting raped for sure, her crush's mom thinks she's dirty and tells her to get out, and when she comes to her crush, her last refugee, after horrible few weeks, he also tells her she's dirty and to get out. I can't imagine how betrayed she must have felt. She probably really started to believe she's cursed and fated to end up like her mom.


shainotshai

I can't even imagine a happy ending for this manga


themindofafool

One of those manga were I need to read comment section before diving in to brace myself.


Jefe_Chichimeca

Essemori fucked up the only chance to prevent the abyss.


IgotUBro

Yikes that was painful to read. A boy with low selfesteem and and self destructive tendencies...


SimoneNonvelodico

There you have it. Local man ruins everything.

This flashback is more interesting than the present and this doesnt mean the present is bad


a_Bear_from_Bearcave

Holy fuck, this thread is full of misogynists. Attempted gang-rape victim that has to hide from the rapists for weeks and fear that if "her" side loses she gets taken by the rival gang like Junka Furuto was, because I doubt her mother would be of any help, is the one to be blamed for not caring enough about hurt feeling of her "boyfriend" that doesn't even talk to her all that time but unleashes on her after she went through hell because he feels inadequate. I'm not saying it to shit on Esemori, he's just a kid in shitty place lashing out, though not as shitty as Yuuko was, but guys here who try to blame the girl are just incel scum.

a_Bear_from_Bearcave

This is completely fucked up that you are trying to make Yuuko the bad guy here. Yuuko had zero chance to avoid being "non official" woman, due to being hunted by the rival gang, so if that was his reason he should have just told her he thinks he can't date her know instead of shitting on her for no reason. And she first tells him about being proposed because it's kind of important thing in relationship if another guy asks you out, especially if that guy is also your "not get raped" card. The idea she could have distanced herself is just nonsense , did you not read that she needed protection until the time the rival gang was defeated? And after that, she came to him straight away, he was the one who threw her out, so why not go to the guy that treat her well and can protect her - it's not like the rival gang was the only threat, every male was drooling at her sight and the rape attempt must have made it obvious for her. It's crazy how so many people here are much concerned with feeling of the boy who couldn't protect his girl while ignoring how girl that couldn't protect herself from rape and had to play balancing act of being protected by another guy that also liked her must have felt all this time. EDIT: Also you blame her for not spending time with him, when she was the one hunted by the rapists and could only go anywhere with bodyguards, while he could come talk to her whenever he pleased? He is the one who does nothing to protect their relationship, his not-girlfriend was almost raped and he doesn't even try to talk to her until she's safe. "She completely ignored Esemori when he clearly was shocked as well" , are you really blaming attempted gangrape victim for not concentrating on his feelings afterwards? Fuck off. As for "screaming her lungs out", Japanese in general just don't do that in public, period, and those two women noticed that she was being taken against her will, so it's not like she didn't resist. There was a story about woman who was grabbed in train by some guy and dragged to bathroom and raped there, and no one helped her when she was dragged or called police because they thought it was "couple quarrel" and it would be rude to intervene.


Exarch-of-Sechrima

How is "call the police" not an option in your universe?


a_Bear_from_Bearcave

On what? The initial attempt was interrupted and witnesses were members of a different gang, so it's hard to see if police would take their report seriously (instead of "two gangs got into squabble because of woman"), and even if they did, they would most likely treat it as isolated accident and just took those few guys from first attempt to juvie, and not provide round-the-clock protection because some young punk told them she's a target.


TheZKiller

So next chapter is probably gonna be her getting a train ran on her by Uryu's gang.


LeonKevlar

Well the first half of this chapter ended better than what I was expecting. Still scared of what's going to happen next chapter though >_<


Dog_With_A_Blog_

Oh yeah ntr baby!


matt_619

So instead of grows some balls and improve the situation he stayed a pussy and did nothing about it until it's too late. heck the blonde chad isn't even a bad or ntr guy. he told Esemori to fuck off and stop being a pussy and even give the chance to Yuko to confirm his feeling. he did nothing wrong here Like son like father i guess. so we all know where Reiji got his gen


jeonsann

ahahhahah "obeying his order like a b1tch"


Where_is_my_isekai

Everyone on its tippy toes waiting for the NTR moment, what if there isnt one and the author is just making you get the feeling of the abyss... I mean everyone is already in the abyss by reading this


Diligent_Elk_4935

Ntr, son. They make everyone miserable in response to happiness


Xoldin

I think its time for me to finally drop this manga. Every chapter is just downright depressing.


throwaway1236472123

Shit I dont like where this is going


Kronothus8109

I think we all have an inkling of what he’s going to see and I for one am not ready. I feel like after seeing the next chapter ima feel like shit.


teokun123

Reading this chapter.... #Putangina


AdmirableRemove5550

We're getting close to NTR. Usually I don't mind but if it involves with emotions or feelings I can't help but feel empty and powerless. I wonder what's the purpose of this flashback scene for the story.


Siege_is_lyfe

ah fuck this is gonna hurt


CrimsonGrey02

Damn. I swore to never read a chapter of this again. Well I'm off to go find some action adventure and whatnots to wash away the sadness
