Satoko's grandfather was doing something bad to her, yes. They knew it because of what little Satoko said, that…
No it's not about sleeping per se. It was the way Satako commented that girls are only supposed to sleep with their grandfathers that was a red herring. She was shocked that Yuri could sleep on her own & didn't need to sleep with her grandfather. Also, what Satako said was not a normal thing to say. Like you would say I do sleep with my grandfather sometimes, but you wouldn't say that you're supposed to sleep with your grandfather. That phrasing adds a whole new dimension to it.
Also, in Japan many older men are known to be into school girls.. like it's a kink (though I'm not sure if girls of Satako's age, she was very small, do constitute that)
I DID :( But before 2020 I just watched J dramas/movies on & off.. so maybe even if I passed by her I wouldn't really have bothered lol. But now I'm like SHITTTT. HAHAHA!
E1. Wow what a strong first episode. Watching Kanzaki spiral was uncomfortable & this is just the start. Suzuki Anne, as always, was lovely. She's such a fine actress who is unfortunately very underrated. Matsuzaka Tori, as always, was great.
Initially, he was a man who said nothing out of his own will (and apprehension). Then he became a man who was coerced into action by the board (doing what others wanted him to do using his own words). And finally he became a man who couldn't even express what he might have wanted to. Quite a psychological game that people in power play with those who are lesser / weaker than them. (though I did wonder at points whether Kanzaki truly has a voice or not)
All in all, it was a great commentary & satire about the kind of world we live in where freedom of expression appears to be a fancy ideal that is bogged down by all sorts of repercussions & societal shunning.
What a well-researched & well written article! Thank you so much for that insight. I will definitely check out the movies you've listed & get back to you with my thoughts. Stay safe!
Scroll down to read the commentary on the Japanese legal system & why the female judge's perspective is constantly…
Ahh I see what you mean. I did find it a little too idealistic in the beginning but I think the tone has shifted slightly in the 3rd/4th episode to being more balanced like it's less preachier, & more about action (if you get what I'm saying).. and a lot of it has to do with toning down Iruma's character. But yeah that's just my opinion.

More people need to watch this.
Also Kataro is one petty man. XDDDD
It's even more sad because he's trying so hard.
