If violence is the fate of such women as Kirino’s protagonists in Out, its men are oppressed and almost crippled by depression. Yoshie’s husband died at a relatively young age of cirrhosis, probably brought about through alcoholism. Masako’s husband and son have immured themselves in the prisons of their own rooms to escape the pressures of the outside world. Kuniko’s live-in partner Tetsuya sleeps away any free time he can spare from the responsibilities of his full-time job at a hospital, and he eventually quits and disappears from her life.

[58] A-1 Pictures collaborated with Chiba Urban Monorail to promote the second season by making an Oreimo-themed monorail train, which remained in operation until September 30, 2013. In addition to decorating the exterior of the train, the anime characters were featured in in-train advertising to provide passengers with helpful tips about local sightseeing facilities and shops. [59] Kirino also does this to Manami in Volume 4 of the Light Novel and episode 11 of the anime. She does this by pretending to have forgotten who she is, badgering her at any opportunity, and then trapping Kyousuke by spreading his porn all around his room for her to see. Both Kirino and Kuroneko (who actually came up with the idea according to the Light Novel) realize they went way too far, and throw Kyousuke a surprise party as an apology. Keiko looked petrified. Her mother, Kirino Ayano can see that she’s dressed like a baby from head to toe. Keiko’s mother looked like an older version of her, but her hair was longer and was filled out in places Keiko wished she’d grow. Her brown hair is in a pony tail held together with a yellow ribbon and is wearing a pair of pink silk pajamas and a white robe. “Umm mom, I can explain this.”Oreimo Accepting Submissions for 2nd Season's Ending Song".

There’s no need to be embarrassed Silica-chan. I was thinking “how cute” the entire time. You remind me of Yui-chan, she acts like a baby when she wants mine or Kirito-kun’s attention.” Older Than They Look: Because of her fashion style and body type, Ruri looks younger than her peers and even characters younger than her, like Kirino and Ayase. The narrator of Grotesque is another such outsider, consigned to second-class status in Japanese society not only because she is a woman but also because she, like Out’s Kazuo Miyamori, is what Japanese call a ‘half,’ an individual who is biracial, with only one ethnic Japanese parent. It is somehow appropriate that this narrator, ignored or considered insignificant by Japanese society, remains unnamed throughout the course of the novel.

Hmm, the closet is empty, I guess there’s no one here and it was just my imagination.” Keiko heard her mother say out loud. She quietly sighed as she thought she was in the clear, but suddenly her ankle was grabbed and she was yanked from beneath the bed and dragged out into the middle of the room. “Well, well. What do we have here?” The woman asked. She looked at her daughter with an eyebrow raised, but looked rather amused to seeing her in such an adorable state. “Aren’t you a bit too old to be playing dress-up and hide-and-go-seek Kei-chan?” This is my first time acting on them mom, I swear! I’ve never done something like this in my life.” Keiko blurted out. Then maybe you should have some diapers of your own so you can go the entire night without having to get out of bed~” The next thing Keiko wanted to wear were the baby booties. She slipped her feet into them both, and pulled with all her might to tighten the Velcro around her feet so the booties wouldn’t slip up and down. They were made entirely of fleece and felt very soft against her feet and toes when she walked around in them. They were all white, but with a stitched yellow sun flower design on the toe area.

As in Out, the female characters in Grotesque have troubled relations with the male characters in their lives. The narrator freely admits that she hates her father, that she finds men physically disgusting and that she has never loved a man or had sexual relations with one (191). Kazue Sato, on the other hand, adores her father and is completely under his control, while he is jealous of any relationships she might develop with anyone else that could undermine his power over her (211). The beautiful Yuriko early develops nymphomaniac tendencies and becomes a prostitute at the tender age of fifteen, admitting that she loves sex so much she wants to “screw as many men as [she] could” (125, 143).The Mainichi Shimbun reported that the fourth volume sold the most copies of any light novel in August 2009. [71] Anime News Network (ANN) reported in April 2012 that the first nine light novels had collectively sold 3.7 million copies in Japan. [72] Don't You Dare Pity Me!: Kuroneko lashes out at Kyousuke when he seems to try too hard to help her. How many times do I have to tell that girl to stop leaving the bathroom light on at night?” Keiko’s blood ran cold when she heard her mother’s voice outside the door. “Huh? Wait a minute, why are her clothes still on the bathroom floor, and why does the hallway smell like baby powder? I thought Asuna-chan left after we ate dinner, did she change her mind and decide to stay?” Not So Above It All: In episode 2 of season 2, Ayase complains to Kyousuke that Kirino is way too obsessed with one of her newest gal game. He promises to help her snap out of it, and when he talks to Kirino later, she makes him play the game too. He starts getting into the game just as much as Kirino did, to the point where he makes the same goofy faces Kirino did, and brushes off Manami in a very rude manner. As in Out, the subtext of Grotesque is violence and, in particular, violence directed at women, who ultimately are forced to retaliate with violence of their own. In Grotesque, the two female students of an elite high school who end up becoming prostitutes inhabit a society that has been described as one in which there is ‘a highly visible mass culture of commodified female bodies, often eroticising their violation and degradation,’ with the very pervasiveness of this culture normalising the “images and practices of sexual violence” 13. It is estimated, for example, that videos whose theme is rape account for some twenty per cent of the pornography at video-rental stores in Japan 14.
