Chainsaw man manga spoilers ahead! Chapter 168
The reaction of both Denji and Asa to what happened in 167 were so honest and real that I honestly didn't see it coming. It was such a raw and normal response, it wasn't on my CSM Bingo Card. No semen swords, no freak outs, no exuberant celebration, and frankly I'm relieved. It was just the way a heavy topic like what was covered in 167 needed.
Denji felt rejected and exhausted and confused. Maybe even embarrassed and shy and used. He still looks depressed and empty. He doesn't know why, because he's a kid and he doesn't understand.
Asa turned to "beating herself up". She is traumatized by the scenario and is slut shaming herself. Even though her words are directed at Yuro, it's clear in her expression and body language that she's internalizing some of this shame. As a woman who grew up in a purity culture scenario, where girls were supposed to be "sex repulsed", this panel resonated with me.
She's yelling at Yuro, that she's a slut. But that's the face of a girl who is broken. Who can't put a name on the brokenness. Because she's a kid.
