Miyai's back story just reminds me again of how different Japan "culture" is compared to the one from where I live. I remember being confused as a high-schooler reading echi mangas for the first time:
"Why is everyone making fun of the virgin protagonist? Aren't they also high school students? Are all of the protagonist classmates not a virgin anymore?"
And then there's that occasional insult(?) of characters being too pure for not having their first kiss yet even though they are already in high school, and characters experiencing their first love in kindergarten, I was like, "What? Isn’t that too early?" But then, things were turned out to be much, much worse in h***ai...
I'm not saying that this represents Japan as a whole, but the fact that this kind of relationship exists in a lot of Japanese fiction, then there must be truth that inspired it. It's just sad...
