Happy Sugar Life – Episode 3 – Shio’s Desperation and Traumatic Memories

July 28, 2018 by Chikorita157 3 Comments
After being alone for so long, Shio can’t take it anymore.

Now that Satou discovered a boy that she doesn’t like, does she go through with the attack?

From last time, Satou was about to murder a boy that looks like Shio with a crowbar. At the last-minute, she decides not to kill him. Meanwhile at the appartment, Shio becomes lonely and start having flashbacks of bad memories. With that, she decides to leave the apartment to search for Satou. Her search was unsuccessful and she injures one of her foot. She eventually finds Taiyou and does a special ritual that involves head patting. Taiyou believes that Shio touching him will purify his traumatic experience of being raped by a female manager from his former job.

Meanwhile, Satou comes to terms with her feelings believing its just jealousy. This cheers her up as she heads to her apartment. When she got there, she finds out that Shio is missing and tries to go out and find her. Meanwhile, Taiyou mentions to Shio that he knows Satou and promises to bring her back to her. A bunch of gang members comes out and beats up Taiyou in retaliation. The sight of blood causes Shio to remind her of the bad memories as she cries for help.

After all that, Satou calms down believing it’s just jealousy.
Sadly, she is in for a bad surprise. Shio is missing!

One would expect Satou would kill that boy, which his name is Asahi. I think it’s because he has some kind of connection to Shio. Moreover, it would attract too much attention. What if the manager or Taiyou walked in and saw that Satou killed Asahi. Her Happy Sugar Life would end as she would be suspected of murder or an insane person. That wouldn’t be good. Thankfully she took control of her feelings before things got worse.

Shio’s and Asahi’s mother running away for safety with Shio.

As for that boy that looks like Shio, his name is apparently Asahi and is definitely related to Shio. In a dark flashback, Asahi apparently stay behind while his mother took Shio and escaped. As you would expect, his father most likely physically abused him. This can probably explain why Asahi distrusts adults.

While this scene is cute, Taiyou’s obsession for her is a bit creepy.

From this, this can explain why Shio have bad memories and don’t remember her mother’s face or even her name. However, she hallucinated thinking her mother is here and interacts with her. While we don’t know why, this can be related to the PTSD that Asahi experience with all the violence. Given that the blood from two thugs beating up Taiyou reminds Shio of the bad memories she had, this is certainly plausible.

Taiyou being beaten up reminds Shio the bad memories.

Lastly, it’s obvious that one can view Taiyou’s obsession of Shio as being well, creepy. Since he is a victim of rape, this can explain why he have severe psychological effects from his trauma. To me, there got to be a better way to cope with this than becoming a lolicon.  Hopefully, Satou won’t find out about it or otherwise, he is in big trouble.

It’s interesting how Shio hallucinates as she sees her mother without her face. There should be some meaning behind this.

Either way, with Shio in danger, it makes me wonder what will happen next. Will Satou manage to find Shio before it’s too late? We have to wait until next time to find out.

    Now we know almost everyone on the show lives a messed up life or was messed up at some point. Satou and Shio have a lot of madness to contend with to find their desired paradise.

    Pretty Danger is disgusting no matter how painful his trauma is. The solution to “purify” your mind is an uncool one. Let’s hope Satou can find Shio and calm her down. Poor dear is suffering so much. It was heart wrenching.

    Also I’m curious what will happen when the “thing” eventually finds Shio.

      It comes at no supplies that everyone is messed up in a way. But yes, Taiyou’s lolicon tendencies are disgusting and Satou will eventually find out about it. Thankfully, he didn’t get the opportunity to take her back home.

      It will be awhile until Asahi will find Shio. Satou is going to need to do a better job keeping Shio in the appartment.
