I think these past few pages have driven home that Piko REALLY don't know shit about yukkuri. Giving a yukkuri a toy shaped like another species is almost guaranteed to lead to it fucking said toy. I'm also getting the vibe that Piko's got issues. The guys in her class are annoying, yeah, but for her to be this distraught over Reimu's behavior makes me wonder if there's more than simple ignorance of yukkuri behavior behind it.
Piko was raped or molested. In the first page, she said she didn't have an interest in owning a pet until recently. And we all know how contemptuous she is of the boys at her school looking at porn. Seeing the thing she had put trust into raping a doll sent her over the edge.
At the end of the story, come back here and feel free to tell me how I predicted the "mindfuck".
Well at least piko got a scummy one to learn the dark side of yuhood first and unleash her anger and dissapointment to. It could had been worse! she could be snapping with a nice yu!
It's like that comic series of the anon training and trying pet caring techniques with strays and scums, making sure to learn every aspect (both positive and negative) so when he would have a real yu pet he would be ready for anything.

All those bodily fluids.
Yeah I noticed that, more in house yu's, but on that one I always thought it was to make the point of "house yu = dirty rats/cockroaches" more obvious, but now that Shell shows it as well, it maybe that Kiri really is making his yu's more disgusting.
Darroth said: Tweak and YukkurisMustDie called it. No one normal goes from tears to rage this quickly.
Actually it's quite the opposite, is a very normal thing for someone to go from tears to rage if the source of his or her tears also makes him or her rage.
SPECIALLY with yukkuris, we had seen many cases of strays and scums killing a beloved pet and having the owner crying over the pet and then smashing the yu's in a fit of pure rage. Though in this case it's a pet that makes the owner cry and then rage.

I wouldn't say 'almost guaranteed'; I personally think this ko-reimu is kind of scummy, and 'advanced' for her age, since we don't often see ko-yukkuri doing 'refreshing' unless some outside event has significantly aroused them(I.E. shaking, some kind of yukkuri aphrodisiac applied, etc.).
That would certainly be an incredibly dark and unexpected turn. Although that wouldn't be the first time for kiriraitaa to a protagonist with serious issues (see Between Studies).
that may be just to go against their moeblob appearance
Piko was molested
I consider it very unlikely to be and agree with FunkSoul. Mayebe she just wants to look at yukkuri the same way she would look at any other pet. This might be a reason why she finds it disgusting how the boys in her classroom like yukkuri porn. Maybe she percieves it as a horrible mixture of furry/zoophilic/pedophile/somethingelse porn. Taking a long shot, considering how bodied yukkuri are treated; she might be mixing it with objectifying women and/or girls.
When she discovered Reimu, she might have cried over the thought of "I tried so hard to see you as a pet and now you are reminding me of those bastards" or something along those lines. Yes, she might be yukkuri-ignorant but again, considering she is trying to look at it as a nice, cute pet; I'll take another long shot and say she will just break the doll (a reason for taking the sheers) in front of Reimu, both will sob and cry themselves to sleep, buying a couple more abuse-free pages

She's already sheared off Reimu's penipeni. Reimu's going to be doing a lot more than sobbing.

I wonder if she'll go on to further abyuse Weimu or let her slide into anti-yukkuritis now that her peni peni is gone.
I still think there is a shocking twist coming up. Like Piko's friends finding out. Or peni-peniless Reimu becoming a model citizen. Or Piko feeling sorry for the dumb shit as it slides into torpor.
I'm sure whatever happens next will be better than anything I can think of.
I'm with YukkurisMustDie on this one, for sure. She's been sexually assaulted. This had been in the back of my mind ever since she saw the guys looking at porn in the classroom, and heightened when she talked about feeding them filth (certainly far from a typical reaction), but I didn't feel there was enough evidence to say one way or the other until this panel... but finding out that one's pet is a sexual creature... If she were just immature, I'd understand a little anger, but that face in Panel 8... those are tears of anguish, not rage. Nobody who is psychologically undamaged NEEDS the innocence of their pet that much, immature or otherwise.
I also think her classmates were meant to highlight her erotophobia via contrast.
Or this whole strip is a metaphor for the usual yukkuri fan that started LOVING THE SHIT OUT of yukkuris while sneering against abyuse and sex work thinking it's exploiting innocent creatures. . .until they see the loads and loads of works on which yukkuris aren't innocent creatures but vile ones that make the life of other miserable until violently stopped and many times the good and nice yu's are more victims of fellow yukkuris than the "mean uneasy humans".
The ultimate betrayal for a naive but well meaning fan.
I agree with justice. There doesn't need to be any tragic backstory to explain piko's reaction.
She's a straight-laced girl who thought yukkuri were wonderful, innocent creatures that didn't so much as pee or poop. Now she's watching a toddler of the species fuck the shit out of what was supposed to be the equivalent of a teddy bear. It's downright grotesque, and for someone unused to the yukkuri world, her reaction is completely normal.
I don't really understand Piko's problem... All yukkuri, like a normal pet, want to refresh, so i don't really get it. I mean, it's not a deibu, it's a little Reimu who is learning about things. I really like yukkuri abuse, but this one is just getting me "?????????", because Piko is a good girl and she wants to love Reimu and suddenly she is all "OH MY GOD, SHE REFRESHED! UUUUUUUU, I HATE REIMUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!", I can't see the reason there... Before someone says something about "But there are a lot of works about nice yukkuri being killed even if they are ok", in this kind of storie the Anons usually hate already yukkuri or don't care or something like that, it's really the first time I'm seeing a yukkuri lover doing something bad to yukkuri without a good reason (remember i'm not considering the refreshing here as something bad since reimu is not acting like deibu or alice, she's just a kid who discovered something new and SHE EVEN WANT TO TEACH PIKO BECAUSE SHE THINKS PIKO WILL LIKE IT TOO!)
Err nabs, this isn't a nice Reimu, it was already hinted she may have a scum streak ready to surface at any moment, her stupidity, her comments about owning the place and "letting" piko be in her own bedroom and all that already hints this yu may not be as nice as it may look.
And read my comment about the theory of this being a metaphor of those people who start liking yukkuris only to find their dark and disgusting side. And having an oversexed Ko humping and shizzing all over a doll is pretty much a very dark thing for a yukkuri to do, specially for someone who was grow to believe that yu's are "doll like" magical pure creatures.

dark?
niqqa, you don't know shit about animals then. can count the times a dog has humped on my leg, and that's not exactly the best thing in the world, but not grimdark
And you don't know shit about the fandom and some people early expectations about yukkuris, and let me tell you, the majority of the FF only lovers outright claim "NO CANON!" to piss, shit and anything like that because they prefer to see yu's as perfect "cute critters".
Besides, it is a VERY dark thing when the paralel of a cub/puppy/kitty is humping and cumming on some plushie, because one thing is an adult doing it, another is the cub, there is a problem when the cub does it, and in this case we have a koyukkuri, not an adult yukkuri.
Well at least piko got a scummy one to learn the dark side of yuhood first and unleash her anger and dissapointment to. It could had been worse! she could be snapping with a nice yu!
