I told you guys he'd find a "solution" quite unexpected for someone outside the Japanese culture.

Many people here are analysing the story and the dilema through the eyes of a westerner.
I am not Japanese so I can't speak for them, but there are some big cultural diferences on how family structure and relationships work that don't correlate to most of the world. (Like, kids don't leave their parents house at 18 that's 100% USA coded)
I won't say the plan is perfect, but what is Sayu to do? We already know she can't keep living with Yoshida and she can't just run away to another place because she has nowhere to run to.
She needs a home, and her mother doesn't need to turn into a good parent out of nowhere, she could just ignore Sayu for some years and be done with it.

It's a shitty situation. If the MC takes her without the mother's approval she's going to go to the police and tell them that he kidnapped her daughter and that makes things worse. The brother is also completely useless as he never considered taking his sister to live with him.

Because they're humans with all their many flaws. Plus all their own traumas they experienced. Some people get past this, some don't. The human condition is such a drama show. 😄
Though yeah this mother is super broken. Again, humans 😑

Oh and about her option. If I'm not mistaken this manga started in 2018. Depending on what year this manga takes place the age you are considered an independent adult is the age of 20. As in independent from the authority of parents. They only changed the age to 18 on april 1st 2022. Before that you as a person couldn't do jack shit without parental consent on anything. So her option are extremely limited......well just the whole running away from home or finding a family member that would take her in is it? That and the whole losing face bullshit that's in Japanese (and more cultures unfortunately) culture...one if the reasons her mom is so terrible, that's why she's so mad....oohh nood I'm losing face to the 'community'. The horror!! I hate that mentality so much. My mom always said: "fuck what other people think, as long as you are a decent human being, I don't care what you do (just don't be scum)".

I helped someone close to me get out of a toxic parent-child relationship in the past so this chapter means something to me 
I did the normal thing and suggested her to cut off the relationship once she's independent, which she did. She's doing far better compared to how she was back then but I could tell there's a part unmended within her, like a piece is lost and she's going to spend her life trying to fill the void.
Sayu got the unrealistic ideal situation where she manages to really reach acceptance, which is nice

I hated this chapter. Hated it. The reaction to such a vile, evil pronunciation by a parent needs to be violent, swift and irrecoverable.
Why's this moron begging this monster? He should have struck with that glass and drawn blood

Dude seriously FUCK this author in the ass with a rusty spike. Ends the novel with an obvious Sayu end then releases more material and just fucking yanks the rug out from everyone.
wait... is this confirmed?

I figured people would not react well to this chapter. It's very... Japanese. XD The anime was pretty much the same, perhaps a bit worse because of the hurried pacing.
I don't agree with Yoshida at all. Sometimes the parent is stripped of their rights and responsibilities because they are deemed unfit to hold them. Sometimes adoptive parents get those rights and responsibilities in their stead. Blood might be thicker than water, but it's not the be-all and end-all of everything. That being said, Yoshida has this fixation on "just being a stranger" in Sayu's family situation, so him saying this doesn't really surprise me.
And on the other hand, what Yoshida (and then Sayu's brother) does is quite a slap in the face for Sayu's mother, in a very roundabout, Japanese way. We may have become desensitized because of how often we see it in anime (especially in comedies), but the dogeza is serious business. Yoshida humiliates himself in front of her to the extent that she simply cannot say no, especially with her son joining in, and especially when Yoshida's request is something that everyone in the room knows should be her friggin' obligation as a parent. With this, she can no longer hide behind her rants about how much she has suffered blah-blah-blah. Yoshida pushed the envelope to the point that it no longer matters. No wonder she snaps (again).

Honestly it makes more sense than ….
idk about "sense" honestly =x... I just hope the author is doing what he wants and not what other ppl will accept better...

The Ln had some weird side story stuff where that happened. Even if you don't ship Sayu and Yoshida it was kind of weird because it essentially happened after the story was over.
The anime cuts that and maybe the manga will too, but I'm not sure.
yteah I heard of the side stories/alternative routes, but I thought they would go the "normal" route idk...

Author-san lacks a spine.
I absolutely agree. Making the shitshow worse by turning it into a shouting match isn't going to help anyone, nor quell the anger. Everyone is guaranteed to walk away feeling shittier. As much as the mother is a POS.
My first thought upon that statement was also a retaliatory response, but with a cool head I realise just how powerful Yoshida's action was, and just how much he was holding back to do the right thing. Even if the mother couldn't respond to it, the dogeza was so strong that Sayu could walk out of the house feeling fine. He showed that he cares for her as much as her own mother hated her. And the mother would have no good response against it because how could she? Yoshida, who she considered a stranger, suffered such humiliation for her own faults, for the sake of someone that's not even his family.
That was such a rollercoaster ride.
