did he kill the wife too? dude i could've fixed her,

anyway, thanks for the the chapter, it is interesting so far

Theres another similar asshole(?) landlord series set in an apartment block. Though the introduction family here is all assholes on their own.

 

[Evans01]

Okay, domestic violence is bad. So bad. But, forcing your ideal on another is also a bad thing.

Actually like that. But what do I hope from a sick psychological manga lol? Let's just enjoy it

 

[SMAXZO]

Eh..honestly, this feels more like a one shot story in a horror anthology..

 

[danbellucci]

The genius of Mr. Natori is that he technically never committed a crime. He always gave the family a choice.

 

[JaceG13]

...I feel like, by comparison, the earlier failures were hardly that bad. Especially the 2nd to last one, the way it's worded doesn't imply that they regularly missed their son's games...

That's also what i was thinking

Never accept vague terms in a Contract. Whoever wrote it will screw you.
Or kill you.

 

[Valve]

They sent their grandmother suffering from dementia to a care home where she can live her final years with help and without feeling shes being a burden to her family... And he killed them for it.
God damn author talking shit without experience or even an attempt at understanding.

I guess that's the point? Mr Natori is so obsessed with his own interpretation of what a good perfect family should be. Even minor mistakes make him go crazy.

Yeah the "smiley" apartment one or so where everyone was forced to smile no matter what

i wonder why natori is obsessed, doesn't seem to be married himself. was he gonna find the 'ideal' family and get adopted or so? XD;

oh hey it's the funohan author. wonder if will be an easter egg/cameo lol

Typically in stories like this the characters are driven by an obsession to cure their horrible past in a sense. He wants an ideal family (whatever that means) because he never had one.
If it continues and if his past is revealed id lay money on abusive childhood as a primary motive.

i'd expect it to be like "i've seen enough, it's not possible so i'll just target bad families by luring them" but surely there'd be rumors unless no one notices any one moving out or the neighborhood is literally empty cept for his, considering all the living families there are at the beginning unless they're all paid actors if not some cult like following to him

(then again their lights were still on later at night so maybe they're 'safe' until they screw up)

Given their reactions they look scared. They are probably under the same pressure since we are told he is responsible for filling the entire neighborhood

i wonder if they've gotten 'warnings' then b/c otherwise the other reasons was a bit more petty than this family versus them seeing him kill before if not more of a public execution or so, if not "they're criminals but they hurt others for the sake of their family" and having them being accomplices or so (so i'm surprised there was even a bother with a 'missing family' photo as opposed to them getting rid of it)

This is pretty much an Asian expectation and idealogy that family must stick together and its your duty. Its why its not that abnormal for when people get married you even add your in-laws to the household, or for your adult kids to continue to live at the home.

Its not bad imo, but like all things it can be when taken to the extreme and/or the expectation is at behest of another's/your own mental wellbeing. Dealing with someone suffering from dementia is not for the faint of heart especially when it's your own family and youre ill-equipped. I wouldnt wish it on anybody and I wouldn't judge anyone having send their family to an appropriate facility for care they cant handle.

The family-abuser and animal-abuser deserve dying, but the wife is innocent.

The earlier “failures” were very mild. Sending an elderly person with dementia to a care house is not a failure. Once the dementia patient is in an advanced state, it becomes very difficult to take care of them. They could hurt themselves at any time, wander and get lost, break things, attack others, wipe their shit over the floors and walls…etc... They’d need 24/7 care like a newborn.

This is another shitty and unfair manga with edgy values.

The answer to every shitty villain story is childhood abuse.
