Shiunji-ke no Kodomotachi - Vol. 10 Ch. 69

I know it's chapter 69, but this is not nice. This is getting out of hand fast.

"Incest, Incest, Incest!"

 

[UdenEmpati]

Still wild that their father's just....MIA on all of this.

They're kids. They're sheltered, too--they had the truth behind the premise of the series dropped on them and then their billionaire father just Nope'd out and fucked off to Whereversville for 60 chapters and left them to figure it out on their own, when it's clear that they're not equipped or educated on how to "conduct" themselves in a way that won't see the public go apeshit every time one of the swears or gets caught with their (thankfully currently proverbial) pants down.

They should have some amount of coaching and handling and Minimal Adult Supervision that can help them figure out best practices to deal with what's quickly becoming a media catastrophe. They shouldn't have to deal with any of this bullshit, and just live their lives, but the fact is the sensationalism is only going to skyrocket and make life very, very hard for all of them now. To the point I wouldn't be surprised if they all just sit at home, stop going to school, send their maid/mom out to get supplies, and simply lock down & in.

That would honestly be the response I'd have in their shoes.
But, Reiji won't allow that, of course--but I'll be damned if this feels almost unbelievable, because of how much is being expected of a group of effectively-adolescents with zero support base.

It's great for the melodrama of it all. But this is the sort of thing that'd push one of them to suicide, as I'm amazed that all that's happened thus far is rumormongering and paparazzi-style photos being posted to the Internet. Like...Minami would have to be wary leaving the house for the corner store now, lest she get accosted and harassed for the photo that was taken of them without their consent and plastered all over the 'Web (of minors, no less).

Shit's just dumb, and they're gonna have to just weather it all on their own.

Plot armor where are u

Honestly, I’m starting to wonder what Reiji wants to do on one hand we have the unresolved plotline of the twins’ “real” mother, and now there’s another media attack because of Mami’s kiss. I feel like soon all the sisters will enter an open “war” over Arata, and we still have the mystery of room number 8, the second pair of real siblings, Arata’s confrontation with the sisters’ feelings, and the choice of the girl that Arata will fall in love with, and how does Reiji want to fit all of this into 20–25 chapters?

I’m really worried about a rushed and unsatisfying ending.

#Team Minami

 

[Makenai]

Strange theory but I wonder if Shion was the one taking the pic. He was very close but maybe I'm overinterpreting because I can't really get a good read on him.

 

[Seyclops]

Reiji, is starting page 10 witht that panel really necessary? I respect the hustle though.

 

[Ryuga05]

Man, whoever took that photo is an attention seeking dullard without a single thing in their life.

 

[SilentWInd]

She practically left right away, I'm surprised this sneaker wasn't caught.

 

[Miorioff]

Who the fuck runs away after a kiss, you finally burned some bridges, girl, you have to continue, talk for a bit. What the hell is this plot.
Man, I hate when it's nothingburger plot

 

[Magnus_Prime]

Arata, it's not your fault. Stop scapegoating yourself; it's unmanly and, frankly, insulting to Minami's agency.

 

[razorshaleh]

yeah, classic Reiji Miyajima moment. dragging the story out with all kinds of drama packed into 1 arc

thank you for translation

 

[Vaibhav01]

Very interesting chapter. As suspected someone took a picture of them while this happened and posted it on social media. A really messed up situation. I’m interested to see how their dad reacts to this.
Next Chapter prediction: With the way Ouka was passing glances at Arata and how her hair hid her eyes while she was looking at the phone I think she is going to confront Arata in person with Kotono witnessing the two of them talking. Things are gonna escalate.

Hold on is bro cooking

I was thinking Kotono did it, she is basically the ninja of the family. Always popping up when something happens emotionally.

 

[ShadowHusky]

What year is the story taking place, 2023? Just call it AI and then ignore it. Or say it's a fake as the faces are obscured, and sue people posting it for defamation.

We know it's real, but the courts do not.

 

[Sam87]

I agree. Him taking the blame is just gonna make Minami feel worse

 

[Makenai]

But Kotono is the most innocent one. I can't imagine her doing any harm to her sisters.
