Akari-chan is Sorta Really Stupid

A fair warning: While nothing is explicitly stated or shown in the chapter, the story comes with some potentially very dark implications. While it might leave room for some interpretation, don't go into this expecting a happy outcome.

I'm used to doing this when I mess up...A man can't stay mad when you do this...I don't know, I'm too stupid to tell.

That right there is a girl who has suffered under years of sexual and mental abuse.

It sounds like her mom might have suspected something was going on but couldn't prove it, and her husband and Akari would both deny anything was going on between them. Him because he's a effing jerk and her because she was probably told that her stupidity would break up the family if she told anybody.

Even if by beating around the bush Ikkun told his mom about Akari thinking that because she's stupid and messes up all the time that she feels the only way she can not make a man get mad at her is by having sex and that it seems that she is used to having sex all the time, probably helped remove any lingering doubt about what was happening to her.

It's a shame that these scenarios don't usually get found out for quite some time and the life long damage is already done.

God , this is dark

Nothing like a little lighthearted reading on a Sunday morning. Boy, I think I read this before but for some reason I didn't comment on it. I'm not going to comment [about the actual content of the story] now but I will say that this is why after reading a title like this, sometimes I start watching something on WE or the Lifetime network.

I loved the end, it makes it feel more realistic. Poor Akari.

My meat when I started the comic: :)
My meat when I finished the comic :’)

T_T

I didn't read the comments and now I have depression.

Came here to fap left here with sadness instead

Dark indeedy

The title and tags threw me off. I didn’t read the comments.. regret.

Yep going in the dark folder. I applauded Bareisho for having a out of blue twist like that.

much darker than expected. I feel a sequel should be made to at least give it a better coclusion. Its pretty clear the other guys is not that bad and deep down he cares for her.

In the final panel, Ikkun is nostalgically reading "Shonen Chump"
(which Akari enjoyed), and he looks rather pensive.  He probably
feels guilty and wishes he had been kinder to Akari.

Bruh!

That was a lot heavier than what I was expecting. Poor girl :(

i know i'm a broken record but needs forced tag

Jesus, she's not stupid, she's just broken.

To borrow from Hunter S. Thompson...

There she goes. Some lust god's own prototypes. A dim, sexy-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production.

holy hell first 3 pages this was all happy and cute and then BOOMB MOTHER FUCKER ITS REALITY TIME!!!!!!

Holy shit. that ending is just fucked up.

Don't mind me. I'll just be facing the wall in that corner over there...

well that some serious U-turn drift to shitsville.....population: a very fucked up father and company.

its just me or the fact that she says "men cant stay mad with me when i do thiss" implies that, while the father might be the pricipal culprit, other people took advantage of her?

i'm cryin in the club rn

40 / 50

The Big Clues have already been pointed out by Bandit35, Sogeking79,
and AssasinZAssasin, so I have little to add except this:

Akari actually isn't stupid; she's ADDLED---driven half-crazy by severe
psychological abuse, meted out by a father who's apparently a sadistic,
hyper-critical monster.  Thanks to him, she's convinced that she's hope-
lessly stupid, that everything is her fault, and that the only way she can
atone for her failures and shortcomings is by having sex with her father,
in order to placate him.

With that in mind, Akari's sexual encounter with Ikkun becomes down
right disturbing.  Since he's angry with her, she feels compelled to give
him sex (in the same way she tries to mollify her father), but it doesn't
work.  Even during sex Ikkun becomes angrier and angrier, until poor
Akari has no idea what's wrong or what to do about it, except to keep
apologizing over and over, for anything and everything, because some-
how it must be her fault.

Her utter misery is enough to make a strong man cry.  I can understand
why YQII issued a special warning.  In its subtle, understated way, this
chapter is extremely dark and disturbing---all the more so since Ikkun
winds up treating Akari just as badly as her father does (if not worse).

At first it’s silly and normal, but that last panel. don’t do it.

At least, MC knew what shit happened and tell mom to notice it. But overall, he is still in it anyway.

Also PSA: Check everything after had sex before its too late if someone ended up like this such as STD, STI, HIV etc. whatever as soon as possible.

Only sequel will tell her fate afterward if artist want to continue.....

Quite the title. Coupled with the warning in the comments, well, it doesn't sound like a very happy release.
"I'm used to doing this when I mess up", huh. I guess she must have done this countless times whenever men get mad at her. Almost like...It's ingrained into her that 'this is what to do in a situation like this'.
Dark implications indeed. Considering that ending and her dead eyes when she mentioned she's 'too stupid to tell', coupled with the fact that apparently her mother got a divorce afterwards probably implies some kind of sexual abuse, perhaps?
At least our protagonist decided to tell someone about it to try and help her...Well, get some help. One can hope she eventually recovers, and still have the chance for a happy life in the future.

Can we please get a sequel where she ends up happy and ok. Please.

Things definitely took a turn for the "WTF" on Page 5, when Akari showed up at Ikkun's house and proceed to strip off her clothing.

And regarding the potential implications conveyed by the dialogue on the last page .....

"DAYUM!"

This story takes a turn. The characters make me angry. Angry that the protagonist would be that upset with her, angry that she would do that as some pavlov effect, and angry at the father for what he did.

A good story like this makes me angry with all the characters, but for different reasons. It's good art and masterful storytelling.

A good story incites emotion, a great story twists those emotions up and up and up.

Came for the osananajimi, stayed for the... tears? Hella heartbreaking, yo.
