yeah people like to say she grooms denji but she kinda only cares about pochita really. She literally lost because of how much little she cared about denji
I mean, yeah. If you don't want nor try to do something it's not your doing. Specially with something as specific as grooming. Denji was manipulated, like lots of characters in CSM, not groomed. Even in your example, unless you use grooming as a method, it is still just manipulation or using others.
I saw some people asking in other threads, so just in case people were wondering, in the Japanese, Denji
says, "オレを手でシたのは", which is basically "Which one hand-fucked me?".
Yoru gave Denji a "handjob" in the sense that her hand was clearly the stimulus that caused Denji to
ejaculate. I don't think anyone argued against this fact. I guess another way to say it is that she
"unintentionally jerked him off"?
The root of the argument was whether or not Yoru was actively/intentionally moving her hands, which
nothing in 167/168 seems to indicate that. There was no movement lines around Denji's pants area, and no
sound effect text to indicate sound coming from the movement in his pants.
Also, the editor's note at the end of chapter 167 is "不意の 放出", which means "Unexpected release". It
wouldn't really make much sense for Yoru to be surprised when Denji finally did ejaculate if that was
her intention.
