that woman literally just went "you need more dick in your life" to a woman she doesn't even know

no, she needs that water critter her son brought house to live; and then probably that too

Hello, Melancholic, vol 2, by Yayoi Ohsawa - Fun band lesbians; love this.

Frieren, vol 5, by Kanehito Yamada and Tsukasa Abe - Rigged exam time, with OP magic. Not what I came to this manga for, but there's still some bits of character work here, and I do like seeing her be protective in her awkward way.

Beauty and the Feast, vol 3, by Satomi U - Food and family; I liked meeting her friend.

Sensei's Pious Lie, vol 1, by Akane Torikai - Teachers, students, sexual assault. Heavy stuff, drama.

The Conditions of Paradise, Azure Dreams, by Akiko Morishima - Collection of Yuri shorts, cute art.

My Next Life as a Villainess, Girl's Patch - Anthology featuring the girls interacting and loving each other. This is what I've been following the story for; shame that the main story is so focused on the two worst guys.

A Galaxy Next Door, vol 2, by Gido Amagakure - Cute romance, interstellar accidental marriage, looking forward to more.

Akane Torikai, "Oltre l'arcobaleno e altre storie ", @dynit_srl . Fisionomie perfettamente delineate e riconoscibili, realistiche e iperdettagliate, ma prive di compiacimento. Perfettibile l'edizione, che penalizza le doppie pagine. #manga #josei #akanetorikai #femminismo https://www.instagram.com/p/ClCF3EmKqk8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sensei’s Pious Lie - Volume 3 Omnibus

“If you’re going to call this feeling something like love, you might as well call it what it is: power. Impossibly foolish, ferocious, an unstoppable juggernaut.”

Love just got messier with the 3rd omnibus edition of Sensei’s Pious Lie and it all ends with a brutal cliffhanger that speaks to Akane Torikai’s willingness to show taboo subjects in all of their glory.

Huge spoilers and talks about sexual violence after the jump.

Misuzu Hara continues to struggle with accepting that she too can be happy in some way with regards to love. Even after her student, Niizuma, tries to comfort her in some way and the two kiss, Misuzu still feels lost. Meanwhile, her abuser, Hayafuji, is struggling with the fact that his wife, Minako, is pregnant. The victim starts to gain more confidence than the rapist and the omnibus ends with a violent exchange that feels way too realistic to those who have experienced sexual abuse.

I’m going to focus first on a scene where readers finally see Hayafuji in a very vulnerable state. Hayafuji decides to see one of his side girls, Reina, in an attempt to ignore his own situation with Minako. When the two of them are on a drive at the mountainside, Reina explains that she feels happy. Hayafuji becomes angry and then starts to yell at Reina for being a love-sick “idiot.” He doesn’t understand why women put themselves out there to be taken advantage of for the sake of “love.” Reina explains that love does make people stupid and if they experience violence, it’s worth it because Hayafuji made her felt wanted. Hayafuji breaks down in tears and admits that he’s not ready for the responsibility of raising a child. This leads to Reina to attempt murder on Minako out of love for Hayafuji, which thankfully was stopped.

This was terrifying and sad to see. Hayafuji is a horrible person and I don’t think he will gain any sympathy points. But damn, it’s refreshing to see a man being vulnerable about the consequences of his actions. It’s rare to see this in a lot of media.

On the other side of the male department, Niizuma gets more character development as he tries out a casual sex encounter with a high school girl due to peer pressure. It doesn’t get really far, but he ends up not liking it. Niizuma calls Misuzu and asks for her forgiveness out of guilt. There’s a scene where Niizuma shows his displeasure after the encounter in graphic detail. 

What I like about the scenes for both Hayafuji and Niizuma is that while they have different personalities, they’re both similar as that they are males who feel trapped by a world that doesn’t mind praising men for touting their sexual prowess. A long while back, I’ve read many stories about casual sex and why people take part in it. I get that having one partner doesn’t solve all of life’s problems and there’s been somewhat more of a greater acceptance of casual sex. I just think that emotions are hard to turn off when it comes to sex. There’s always some kind of intimacy involved. People will always be messy. I do applaud people who partake in casual sex and feel fine about it because they appear to be emotionally resilient. After all, it takes a certain comfort level within yourself to be able to do so.

And that’s probably the lesson here - trying to use sex as a way to solve your vulnerabilities isn’t going to end well. People who encourage that as a solution to personal insecurities may not have your best interests at heart.

The penultimate part of the omnibus comes when a frustrated Hayafuji decides to end his abuse on Misuzu - with an ultimatum. Either he screws her in front of Niizuma or vice versa. Misuzu is unsure of what to do and talks to Niizuma about the situation. She then starts her path to face her sexual trauma head-on. Due to her body being taken by force, Misuzu’s afraid of her own genital area. Misuzu confronts Hayafuji about her vagina and tells him that even though she was afraid of his hatred due to the allure of her privates, she also saw that hope can come out of that allure due to Minako’s birth. Misuzu then says that she forgives Hayafuji so that he can love Minako’s child. A flabbergasted Hayafuji reacts by punching Misuzu in the face repeatedly and he replies that a woman doesn’t get to forgive a man no matter what.

I have no words about what happened in the end. Or more like, it made me think about how little we’re taught about the significance of our private areas. They have the power to give pleasure that can become addicting and the power to give life. I also know that genital shame is a huge thing - especially towards women. As an Asian man, there’s always talks that having a small penis makes you a terrible partner according to stereotypes. I know for women, it’s a lot worse due to female bodies being politicized for all kinds of reasons. Taking some power and ownership of our bodies should be a right for mental health’s sake.

And about what Hayafuji said - it’s arguably a reaction based on something he’s probably witnessed involving a past relationship and the continued loss of his power over the women in his life. So much trauma all coming from an intense feeling that’s supposed to bind us all together. And that’s the beauty of what makes Sensei’s Pious Lie a gritty and vivid look at both sides of the picture for better or worse.

Onwards to the conclusion of it all soon!
