A popular YouTuber has already said it before, “ prostitution is the oldest profession in the world ”. However, even today there is still a certain rejection towards the people who practice this work, and it was demonstrated with a series of comments that feminist women began to make towards a manga in Japan.
The manga in question is titled " Aoi-san Enchou Onegaishimasu ( Aoi-san, An Extension Please )" and focuses on a girl who works as a prostitute (actually her profession will be another, since prostitution is illegal in Japan , “in theory”) and whose hobby is eating all the delicious things possible . That's right, it's a manga about food with a "different" background for the protagonist. In fact, the synopsis writes:
- Aoi-san, 21, is the most popular woman in Yoshiwara's Red Light District. However, she has a strange hobby... it's all about "eating as much as she can". Looking at her figure, one would not imagine that this girl is eating all the time, whether it is at work or at her home! A slightly erotic gourmet manga about eating at delicious restaurants.
However, it was clear that the girl's profession was going to "make noise" among feminist women in Japan , as comments such as:
- « After “Kiyo in Kyoto”, now comes a gourmet manga about a prostitute who works at the Yoshiwara. I wonder why the author wants us to believe that she "enjoys" working there. She disgusts me ».
- « I suppose the goal is to justify/affirm the act of prostitution by means of a happy sex worker. If the sex worker is sad, the filthy reader can't masturbate ».
- « “Sex workers are pissed off”. There are plenty of quotes like this, but this is a 180 degree departure from what we say and do after work, and is more like the behavior of an old man on his way home from the brothel, so it implicitly says "I wonder if the workers sexual tend to be like this, I hope so” with fantasy and expectation, and the movements of the client are strange ».
- " The amount of masculine fantasies this manga expresses is disgusting ."
- « I don't understand why women are upset with this. Do they want sex workers to be depressed all the time? Or aren't they happy that a beautiful girl can eat all the time and they can't? ».
- « I know a lot of people say that, but we eat ramen and McDonald's on the way home from work (not many people know how to cook for themselves, so a lot of people prefer to just eat on the way home). I always take shampoo and hair oil with me and I always stop at a public bathroom near the restaurant when I come back from work ».
- « Feminists get pissed off with this manga, but I don't understand it, I don't know what it means, it's always the same, but come on, really ».
- " A disgusting manga about the fantasy of a man who wants to think that women who work in the sex industry have a good work-life balance ."
- « It is a mystery why they simply made the protagonist a prostitute. They don't seem to care about the reality of the description. First of all, it is very difficult to relate food and eroticism ».
