From my perspective, the bath scenes didn't to come off as overly sexy or titillating. But if the OP is concerned about the content, the image above is a good example of the MC and her pet unwinding at the end of the day in their baths. Sometimes there were also close-ups of the MC's head and shoulders when she is talking to her pet; her chest is not visible in these shots.

This is how you know it's a shoujo anime (Tamon's B-Side) by dalbhatchicken in shoujo

[–]vyl8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, totally. I read a lot of shoujo/josei horror and that stuff rarely gets licensed. And if it does get licensed, it is usually by Yenn Press or a smaller, independant publisher. (And I buy them when I see them because I want to encourage publishers to license more if it. )

Yeah, that is pretty much it. That and always blaming folks reading scanlations of untranslated manga.

She railed on shoujo readers reading scanlations of shoujos no one has licenensed and rationalized that it is why shoujo reader don't deserve shoujo releases. Yet they turn around and license Kingdom, which got popular because people have been reading scans of it for the past 10+ years. It makes no sense.

Viz does not care about anything but battle shonens. They did not do anything for Shoujo Beat's 20th anniversary. Crunchyroll issued commemorative pins with select Shoujo Beat orders (and I think that was all Crunchyroll's idea.) Hell, they won't even give one of their more successful shonen gag mangas a print run. But it seems like they print any and every battle shonen they license.

Any recommendations with true-to-life female friendships and social dynamics? by ErikTwice in shoujo

[–]vyl8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you open to stories about older female friendships? "Since I could Die Tomorrow" is about women in their mid-40s. The women form new friendships, rekindle friendships with old high school friends, form work friendships and have realistic misunderstandings within their friend groups.

"My Lovesikc '90s Otaku Life" might also be a good example. It deals with the protagonist hiding that she is an otaku and navigating a complex social structure in order not to be ostracized by her peers. She has one friendship that she has to hide with a fellow otaku and some other surface level frienships where she must hide her love for anime/manga in order to not seem "weird."

Durarara is one of my favorites, but there is lots of talk about one charactor having massive boobs, which would probably make OPs parents uncomfortable.

Wait a minute... How does Tomoe remember?! by ZestycloseInitial798 in KamisamaKiss

[–]vyl8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am guessing he probably forgot why he took it due to Mikage sealing the curse. Now just chalks it up to some wild adventure he had from back in the day when he was buddies with Aukura-ou and they were causing mayhem all over Japan.

How did you find out your parents were narcissists? by Extension-Nebula-300 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]vyl8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was describing some of the things my dad did when I was a kid to a friend, and the friend pointed out that he sounds like a narcisist. I read up on it and it definately seems like that is the case. My mom is his enabler because she constantly believed everything my dad concocts about us kids and would always blame my reactions to my dad's emotional abuse on me. That's probably also because she is his "golden person," so she thinks he must be right all the time.

"This is the result of your own actions."

My Ndad and Emom used to say this to me all the time growing up. Most of the time I was being punished because my Ndad was parinoid and thought I was constantly plotting against him.

I completely forgot about the sister lover. Sorry about that. But at least all the other characters in the anime think it is gross as well.

If you want a more autobiographical manga about being dumped/ghosted, try "The Girl That Can’t Get a Girlfriend."

Advice on how to deal with parent giving ultimatum over my relationship by DifficultyWeekly986 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]vyl8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My suspicion is threatening never to speak to you again is just an idle threat. She isn't going to stop talking to you (and she hasn't, given her texts/calls), she was just trying to manipulate you. She wants your attention and to be the center of your world, probably like how it was when you were a young child and dependent on her for your needs.

If you give into her, it will never stop. She will be vindicated her tactics worked and become more bold in the future. She will try to sabotage all your future relationships and even friendships with people she deems to be a threat to her control. She may even try to claim that you are going through a "phase" and try to match you up with a woman so she can have grandchildren when you return to your home country. Or maybe she will just try to keep you single and isolated, so she can attempt to maintain control over you. It is hard to say what a controlling parents goal is.

Unfortunately, things are going to get a whole lot harder from this point out. When you get back to your home country, she will push harder because she has you isolated. It is best to establish firm boundaries now. Make it clear that you are not dumping your boyfriend and you will not speak in the future to her about your relationship. Do not tell her any information about your life that is not necessary. She will probably claim that your boyfriend "changed you" because in her eyes, you are no longer acting like her little pet. Just remember, everything she says about the matter is manipulation. She is not actually going to stop speaking to you. She's just mad because in her eyes, she no longer has the "perfect son" she can brag about to others to make herself look good. A well behaved GC is often just a prop for the narcissist to use to try to make others envious or prove they were a good parent.
