Is that a real society quirk? In my mind shunning someone like that is a good way to encourage them to violence.

 

[l0ner]

I've always hated this trope, no matter how realistic it is. It's like no person in these universes has any form of critical thinking to think "huh, this guy's a murderer, but his child is a completely different person, so let's treat him as such" and shun a kid for almost no reason.

That was a great start. Looking forward to read the next chapter.
Thank you for the translation!

genuinely one of the stupidest things to think. fucking Victorian, Social-Darwanist bullshit still infecting minds today

 

[matcap]

I kinda wanna see all the people who gave him shit for such a stupid reason get what's coming to them...but I know that isn't going to happen.

Because that would be too satisfying. And we wouldn't want to satisfy the readers now would we, author-san?

idk i can't really take this seriously, let's be real no one would shun someone for being the son of a murderer this is too far stretched

Well, as it's quite common trope in mangas, now I really wonder if it really happen commonly in Japanese society. Anyone who lives there can tell ?

 

[SomeGuy10002]

I definitely saw this prejudice happen in Japan like a good 10 years ago and in Taiwana and Korea as well. But I barely see people care about it now in Taiwan. Is it still a problem in Japanese society?

irl at least, no shot. id have to see more of where this goes to know if i feel icky about it in this specific case or not tho

 

[jakasetan]

The prejudice... And it's trope... really got my nerf. Eastern society like this is what I'm hate the most.

Gonna follow and see where the author going to brought this.

Spoiler

"us treating him like a criminal just because his father was a criminal isn't prejudice, right?"

 

[kuro-tan]

i was waiting to see what "the incident" was but man…maybe cuz i live in the states, that just seems like such a silly premise. also why does she have to be as young as possible 😭 i wouldn’t feel weird about it if she was like 17 but no, gotta be a fresh high school girl

Food for thought: If he's going to be treated like a menace when he's done absolutely nothing wrong, then maybe he should just be a menace while finding some happiness.

I think it is not a strange concept that in reality, descendants of a criminal often misjudged because of their forebearers. But that coworker reaction surely is exaggerated.

All the people living there are around 20 and they drunk partied and made a spectacle out of a poor schmuck, gambling on him delivering pizza in deep winter.

Call me crazy but a 15 year old living alone with these people seems infinitely worse than her getting to know a hardworking proper human being (absolutely doesn't have to be romantic (for now))
