Bumping in, bumping in--

To one above: Your argument would have been valid if that was the case in this matter. Aura's problem wasn't her age and fact that Japanese men wouldn't want her due to being too old.

As it was stated, she is the one who decided to stay single for life. It was not that it as impossible for her to find someone, it is that she never wanted anyone. Not that there is a thing wrong with it, but I think what others are pointing out is how redundant this info was, especially when taken into account how an author has treated female characters throughout series and what was most "worthy" aspect about them to be noted.

I ain't now gonna repeat words that have been said regarding Miza, Touka, Hinami, Itori, Rize, Eto and so on, but I agree with points of original post and ones below him, which is that representation of females in this series is far from great, and even completely disgusting with some.

Hate to be that guy, but-- even shounen doesn't tend to have the representation of females this bad. Even though shouen is type of genre that treats females as nothing more than just prizes for male characters and their potential baby-popping machines at end, they don't go out of their way to completely abuse females that didn't follow and/or wanted to follow this trope (ie. Eto and Rize for example).

I don't even like Rize, or cared for her much as she was just plot-device, but it's disgusting what was done to her. She was no saint, but to say that she deserved to be brought back from the dead only to be abused in every single way further and on and ON! Only for her to be killed as some "evil villain" at the end while MC who messed everything up in the first place is giving some crappy "deep" speech-- is complete disgusting garbage! Especially so when those that abused her went out on their own terms. The story even tries to make her most disgusting abuser as "victim" to be sympathized with, while Rize, who was an actual victim of it all, was shown in bad light and off-ed as garbage for a thing she was forced in just so MC can have his forced happy ending that was done shounen style, ironically enough.
