As an Asian woman around similar age as Wako(the main character), this was extremely frustrating to watch. Wako is a 32 year old who's got nothing (no backbone) but the hots for a 15 year old high schooler. I found her behavior in the beginning when she seduces Iko, very off putting. What a pedo. I know the actor IRL is an adult but he looks like a kid with peach fuzz still on his cheeks and I couldn't possibly imagine taking such intentional steps to seduce a boy like Wako did. Her behavior throughout the entire series is so annoying and infuriating to watch but I live in the US where gender and age discrimination isn't as prevalent as it is in Japan. However, I can't help but feel the series justifies her lies, cheating, and unassertiveness by blaming society and her partner. I really wish the series went on differently, with Wako alone as neither Iko nor Fu are right for her.
