stressedpenguin's manga / #mother and daughter(2)

Wow. That made my heart ache in a way I wasn't prepared for. The manga is generally about the lives and struggles of various women. The stories are tied together by the women's connection to Yukko (Yukiko?), our focus character, one way or another. And it's just raw. Like it's just so...human. and so its messy and raw and painful at times but highly cathartic. Warning for chapter two (?). It's definitely a story of its time. One of the male characters is sexually assaulted by a female student, and the story doesnt even recognize that its sexual assault. It was pretty rough to get through. Though the manga isnt ABOUT misogyny or the patriarchy or living as a women in a man's world, those things have a tangible impact on these women's lives. This story is about showing you the women as people, and the problems a misogynist society are just there because they're there. I'm struggling to articulate my thoughts, but hopefully I got it out clear enough that you'll understand. 8/10

Short oneshot of a daughter getting to see her mother again for just a night after. It's an old style murder mystery ball with a bittersweet story 7/10
