tbh, I doubt Osako even remotely understands, all she's seen is what's written. But that doesn't cover the grooming side of it, nor does it give her any information about his emotional state, and from what was hinted at, his mother didn't particularly care for him, so his sister was probably one of his only sources of familial love growing up. Mix that in with grooming and it's gonna be a clusterfuck of a traumatic past. Because socially, it just isn't treated the same when a male is groomed by a woman. If a man grooms a young girl or boy, it's seen as sickening. But when a woman does it, well the meme "noice" often rears its ugly head.

That causes a lot of dissociation between whether it was good or bad for the victim. And this is coming from someone with personal experience of something similar. Because even now, and it's like 27 years later, whilst I know it was wrong as fuck... well I don't feel like a 'victim' so fuck knows what it would be like for someone who's in Akira's position. When it was his sister, who's now dead.

For what it's worth, sorry you had to go through that. As for Sekai, I think the deal is that she wasn't just an abuser in terms of her own satisfaction, but it's heavily implied by multiple people that she had a greater design intended to infect others to see the world as she saw it.

For an adult and a child to engage in something like they did would already be wrong in multiple levels, but I think that in her case it was somewhat worse.

Wakana seems wary if not terrified of it, and it's not even if Sekai was there with them. They treat it like her memory was an infectious disease or something, which is bizarre if you think about it. This is just a girl writing poems, if you think there's an issue, talk to her. After Ami's outbursts it's not like this research could even lead anywhere, "you managed to find out her mother may have been fucked up? wow, that could really tells us something is up, if only Ami threatening to harvest people's organs wasn't enough for that already" lol - so yeah, at this point in the story, the angle about investigating to help Ami is weak imo.

i'm curious what the deal was with Akira's family though, why did her mother dislike him? We know close to nothing about them, and it seems like he didn't like his brother either. Which would make sense as to how Sekai managed to do what she did.

“The Art of Never Knowing” Rin character event from Chapter 2. You have to be a Good Homie with Rin for them to kiss, otherwise Rin will keep texting Otoha and Sensei just leaves the room.

The mentioning of Yuno with Noriko present, made me a little nostalgic:

*Random Comparison Time*

Both Noriko from 'Lessons in Love' and Yuno Gasai from 'Future Diary' (Mirai Nikki):

Not entirely relevant, but definitely one of the more interesting possible inspirations for a character.

I may sound extremely stupid, but... Who is that another girl?

Nodoka, when she stole Yumi's clothes and then tricked Akira into going there, catching the girl naked. then Nodoka blackmailed her to get revenge for Futaba, and then sucked Akira off whilst she was huddled and trying to cover herself up. Yumi's a bit of a dick at times, but that was all sorts of wrong.

That's actually probably not that far off in retrospect. It was foreshadowed last chapter:

Albeit, I'm going to have to laugh a little if it's another Molly situation, and Sana just decided to go play splatoon or something.
