[Higehiro] Its not about Sayu but girls like her in IRL! Am i the only one getting depressed by this!

Yet Sayu wants anything but to go home. It's her choice. I can't call it a smart one but nonetheless hers. I can relate to not wanting to go home to a high degree but I made a different choice in my own life. I'm sure with the right support, Sayu will grow into a strong woman one day.

You are 100% right I will be honest I don't have a really good answer to what you are saying as to how to fix this. Just wanted to say I agree with everything you said. This world needs to fix a lot we as a species are extremely flawed. Also Japan was always a backwards country idk how many times I have seen things in published Japanese content that disturb me I mean Made in Abyss has literal child porn in the manga its disgusting. And your right we can't do anything about it which sucks.

I think stories like these do help to shed light on topics like this, that’s how I personally feel about Metamorphosis (aka 177013) because while that doujin is incredibly gruesome it really made me stop and think about the possibility things that happened to Saki have happened to people in real life, and it’s a scary thought

back to Higehiro though I think showing the backstory of her and how it mentally broke her was a good way of letting the viewers know the severity of it, and it making people uncomfortable means the scene did it’s job in my eyes at least

Well, you can't just ban something in a day. Prostitution is against the law in many countries, but it continues to exist. Corruption is a major contributor. The industry generates a great deal of revenue for the government. In addition, people who earn their daily bread by prostituting themselves would starve to death.

But it still baffles me that authorities aren't stricter about rules that involve these kind of businesses.

You should discuss it on the Higehiro forum instead of here. some people may still not watch Higehiro.

In Higehiro forum, there are some really sick people there bro! Really really sick people!

Didn't get depressed over it but this shit is disturbing. Thank god Yoshida exists. Same shit would've happened all the time if not. I wanna see if they go into more detail on her backstory. Like why she's not in her parents house, or the first time that she entered someone's house, etc.

Man , the first 30 sec of episode 3 was the most disgusting thing I have seen in my recent memory , I too can't sleep properly ,

I have said this earlier , "Japan is a good place to visit but worst place to live especially for the women and kids "

I do not find any of Higehiro sad enough to bring me even close to tears.

Exactly! I always saw japan in high regards, probably thats why it hit me hard!

How often is common of this happening?

Of course this stuff happens. Bad things happen in every single country like this.

Zean_9435 said:
Japan promoted sex and prostitution that country is really messed up , Other people who is not familiar with anime will loose there mind if they come to know that anime also promotes incest (brother x sister ) and even rape ( redo of healer )

Lguanlin92 said:
For the last part about their relationship it seems most likely, because in LN itself there is some romance between them, and also in the latest Vol it further strengthens it, they are not wrong because from the start this is also romance anime that takes a set between adult men and high school girls. I can give a spoiler about how their relationship in LN is progressing if you want.

You may not know but Japan is one of the countries that produces porn or better known as JAV and it is one of their country income, so things like that are not surprising, there are even some Japanese idols who decide to become porn stars after retiring and there are also among them are still active idols.

in Japan also provides teen prostitution, Japanese society lives in a high patriarchal culture. They consider young girls who look innocent to be attractive and more attractive, which is why there are some bars that provide teen prostitution services illegally, and most high school girls who work as prostitutes did it for the sake of a fairly high lifestyle in Japan. There are lots of strange services in Japan as you know Rent A Girlfriend is inspired by one of a service in Japan.

Kayle_x_Morgana said:


What? I believe prostitution is a thing most people are for and want legalized.

They literally have an app in Germany or France where you can call one.
Unless you just mean underaged.

I will not even visit japan , man , it's straight up nightmare

Wookim97 said:
Every country must have their own culture, likewise Japan maybe their culture looks strange to you but not to them. that's why they are such an open minded country.

NahianTusher said:
Yeah. A total shock. Even if not as a permanent resident, i'd like to visit as a tourist!

I don't know about sayu, but in real life, most of these girls are unwanted in their family or the family is abusive towards their daughter!They kick them out not even thinking where they will go! They don't even inform police about it as police would point finger at the family. (All the facts i god from news portals of japan). And about sayu, you can clearly tell from episode 3 that she sees herself as unwanted & i can only guess this came from her family. Just IMAGINE how much pain lead her to runaway from home! The smart choice would've been to go to a ngo that helps these kind of cases! Society gave her very little choice here!

take a look at this! Her parents even took her legal papers!

S5-Astraea said:


Oh I have no doubt about it. I'm speaking for the anime only though as this is mAl. There is nothing I can do for the ones IRL.

NahianTusher said:
Even without that app, do Germany/France have teen prostitution as much as japan? Do parents abandon their child like that there? and have many runaways that are unreported by their parents? If you don't see the topic here, gently leave this forum!

And about legalizing prostitution, i don't think most people want that! They have tinder like sites for adults. No dating, just meet & fuck!
