It's great man, it's your decision , we are lucky enough that you're doing this for free , I should be grateful
It IS fun, I have to say. I LOOOVE languages (believe it or not, even more than I love femdom or netorare), so the chance to get more involved with Japanese is very tempting all by itself; and when we get stories with the kind of fetishes that make me go awwww and doe-eyed, then it's win-win. I just wished I could do this faster, but I have a lot of other things to do, so I'm spending only one or two hours per day on this.
In PBMW1 it's a heavy ntr, and I don't think husband is happy about what happened but in this game it's pure netorase because Mariko will not cheat anymore if MC doesn't want to anymore in PBMW1 Mariko is having an affair with her boss without MC's consent and refusing her husband to have sex, it's very heavy for me (Imagine your wife refusing you all the time with many excuses but the truth is she just want to have sex with someone else Ouch
) and in this sequel it's like Mariko is changed
I saw it somewhat differently. Mariko did cheat on Yasushi without him knowing, and all the little signs about him not satisfying her and she kind of avoiding sex with him are sad to watch; I also had a feeling of anguish and hoped something would happen... And then something did happen! When we get to the confession scene, Mariko is very apologetic, almost cries, asks for forgiveness... and then finds out, much to her surprise, that Yasushi is turned on by what happened, by the details she tells. Her tone shifts, she becomes much more playful, and Yasushi has a kind of revelation: he actually likes what she did! He's happy she's having an affair with her boss! It takes him some time to understand that, but eventually he comes to accept it. By the end, Mariko is not only having sex with her boss, she's also having sex with her husband, and their communication has improved a lot. He forgives her, and supports her affair, much to everybody's happiness.
All in all, I find this very heartwarming. You see, what makes me sad at the beginning is not that she's having sex with her boss, but that she and her husband don't talk. At first it's like they're two fish in separate aquariums: they see and talk to each other, but not about what's really important. Every time they failed to understand obvious signs, I felt really bad for them. But then... everything changed! They did find a common language, a tunnel between the aquariums, and changed what was wrong: the secrecy, the hiding, the lack of trust.
After that, Mariko has sex with her boss right in front of him (he's actually shackled to some kind of BDSM contraption). It's a scene full of passion, and in which she even makes Yasushi come so that she can have her lover come inside her (he had promised he would let her do that if he, Yasushi, also came) -- wicked and cruel, right? But as her lover leaves, he tells Yasushi she was on the pill... which shows her consideration for her husband. She did it because she knew it would please his fetish. I was deeply moved when, after Mariko's lover left and she fell asleep, tired after so much sex, her husband Yasushi sat next to her bed and started stroking her hair, looking at her face and admiring how beautiful she looked. He recognized her love for him, and expressed his love for her. This just felt so right, so awwww! to me...
(In fact, what I found a little bad about the beginning of PBMW2 is that they kind of reset this situation. Apparently they abandoned the NTR play, so Yasushi hadn't really accepted it as well as PBMW1 made me think. So again Yasushi and Mariko aren't communicating well -- even though this time she tries to ask him what he'd like to do, and suggests several fetish options... but he's like, nah, it'll be fine. So again Mariko is unsatisfied, and they don't talk about it... as if they had learned nothing about each other in PBMW1.)
