Status Updates From The Dilemmas of Working Women

i really do see parts of myself in every character and their lives. mito-san is not shit unfortunately, but i really do understand her and her hesitations. not knowing what she truly wants in life, she lives idly with asaoka, as it “makes the most sense” for her to be with him. they’re not really in love, mito-san has just lived her whole life under the control of men so she doesn’t know what SHE truly wants.

ngl, i’m so glad maho-san punched her son in the face-like he really deserved it. living such a physically and emotionally taxing day to day life and being walked on by your own children?? i would’ve put my hands on them sooner! she needed to lash out to bring her family closer together instead of enduring everything quietly. i felt satisfaction when she got angry and actually expressed it bc she deserves to!

Enjoying this! Written really well.
