| I swear to god... That mother is.... Pure evil |
 |
| Sayu's mother is a complete piece of shit. It's ridiculous how they all keep apologising to her tf? |
| You may not understand what Japanese think and how they act, but in fact, many people with lower status really hold their emotions toward people with higher status, no matter how evil they are. They tend not to cause chaos or disrespect the higher status, and this is one of the biggest social problems among the Japanese that leads the nation to a high suicidal rate. Imagine what would happen to Yoshida if he slapped or threw the tea to that sh*t? He probably will be reported to the police and got imprisoned because that sh*t has a higher status, and that pretty much won't solve anything regarding Sayu. Also, yeah, I agree that the brother is partially garbage too. But in everything that Sayu and Yoshida did, they had really done their best. Not every problem could be done in the way you think is the best. If you open your mind, you'll know in some situations you can't do that "best" solution. 4/5 for this episode. |
| Yoshida-san is a chad! he even begged for her to raise Sayu, that in the first place he didn't even need to do. because it's her mother duty to raise and protect her child! |
 |
| Did he really get on his knees and even apologize to that b*tch after the awful things she said? Yoshida definitely lost some respect there. |
| Mommy needs to be internalized in some mental facility... Oh what am I saying, of course she's probably the head of some conglomerate, psychotic and sociopathic is how they want em! No wonder hubby dropped the bitch lmao, not like he's any better than her... |
 |
| Her mother doesn't even seem mentally capable of raising a child. Still, I have nothing but respect for Yoshida for remaining so calm through all of this. |
Undefeated  Bahamut |
| wow.. family complex.. a mother that blame her own child for the divorce and fails, what an emotional damaged in denial mother who cannot move on, speaking of experience of my own buddy.. lol |
こんにちは！私の名前はマルハザクです！  こんにちは！私の名前はマルハザクです！ |
| Damn, the mom really projecting her own issues. Can clearly make out that she can't handle the fact that a stranger is willing to go so far for Sayu when her own husband left her for someone else. Damn it mom, you ain't gonna solve shit like this. |
 |
| That was a bloodbath, or so I thought. Yes, we need to calm and assess the situation beforehand. Or else, hate will overcome our sanity, and the problems would just get worse. Nice of this series to actually portray such a thing in a meaningful way. But, Yoshida's monologues could've been said out loud, because it gives more punch than what he said. P.S. Sayu and Yoshida, holding hands... like a couple... or so the norm goes. 🤔 P.S. looks like people are watching this series with bad subtitles... that's probably why they don't comprehend it, probably... Here is the real reason why Sayu and Yoshida cried.  Her mother said one of the taboos in life. |

| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| Maybe I've got bad taste in writing and I don't know how reality works, but to me the writing isn't garbage nor was the dialogue in this episode unrealistic. The older brother I don't think is a garbage guy either. We don't know his context. Sure, could he have done more, of course. But there are clearly limits to where he is comfortable to act and when he is not, he is still in charge of a business and it probably affects family life. Plus, he did a good deed by helping support MC's case by getting down on the ground and bowing. Sayu's mother I don't think is an unrealistic character. Of course, she is still a fictional character after all, but I am pretty sure there are people like this in the world and there are all sorts of reasons that lead them to behave/say things that many may consider bad. It is also clear that Sayu's mother is not in the right mental state/mental health. Admittedly, she had 13-15 years to improve it and it's difficult to view her anything close to a saint, but her actions and reasoning are nevertheless realistic. Especially considering the culture of being in the upper class, living in a capitalistic corporate society, having interacted with supposedly terrible people in the past, and so on. As soon as Sayu got slapped and her mother's face quickly transformed from hostile anger to forced calmness/robotic expression, it was obvious that this character was made for viewers to dislike. So, I could see how other commentators saying that this episode had a lot of forced drama are indeed onto something, but was this forced drama well done or truly poor? I'm not sure. It was clearly dramatic, but I think the anime handled the drama well and kept it from being boring. So yeah: I don't think the writing is terrible. At least, not as terrible as one of the characters in this episode. |
ow + nw = 90-2000s |
| I just love the mugs and glass on the table. Glass for Yoshida. |
| Haha, I criticized this anime for bullshit suicide drama that came out of nowhere to create drama, but the writer went overboard with the mother here as well. The only thing this anime had going for it was the name of the anime, that sounds scandelous. In reality, whole shit is beyond tame and dull. Attempt to create drama that just won't work. Meh. Also, just to be clear. No one is saying that people like the mother or the beta brother doesn't exist in real life. What IS being said, is how awfully they are introduced and how the whole setup feels beyond forced for an anime that can't even do anything exciting after the first episode where characters were introduced. They even got that creep in the shop to almost rape the girl, but then suddenly everything was OK even when he admitted to trying to force her to her "bestie". Writer clearly isn't capable of creating tension or excitement. Probably the only thing that excited him was the title of his own anime/manga/whatever. |

| Refusing to take accountability for such mean spirited words is everything needed to hate this excuse of a """""""""""parent"""""""""". Yeah, why not doubling down with "i should have never given birth to you". Plus, what is up with slamming the hand on the table exactly like Sayu did before? Are you a mentally capable adult or a 7 years old spoiled kid? Wow, i didn't remember any longer Yoshida wanted to throw that glass at her, and to be honest... part of me, along with his internal speech, really wanted it to happen. It is debatable how to react to Yoshida's request and Sayu's brother joining in, but... damn, the way he reacted outside of Ogiwara's place. "We made a deal. Obviously those are just words, it's up in the air if she will actually follow them" yeah, sadly realistic. Sayu's brother hopefully will never make dumb decisions any longer and will try his best to start all over until her graduation. Even if it clearly will be painful. |
