"I emotionally tormented my daughter so much she freezes in fear when she just looks at me. clearly thats her fault."
Come on now.

She was definitely under pressure because of the stakes, but it's not like he was "emotionally tormenting" her. It was a fair deal, though I think it was a bit unfair for him to sit where he was visible given the circumstances.

I believe MC won't just sit back and do nothing. He's definitely going to do something to fully support Rei :chad:

Thank you for the upload!

She deadass just indirectly confessed to him in one of the coolest ways and I think MC subconsciously knows it too, at least his heart does, let’s see if his brain is willing to comprehend that (most likely won’t because author needs to pay the bills somehow).

My hypothesis is that the father is going to point out something reasonable. He acts like a dickhead, but his reasoning for why he doesn’t want Rei to be an idol is not hard to understand. He cares about his daughter’s safety and wellbeing. He’s just being stubborn and hardheaded where finding compromise is hard for him. I genuinely think he cares about her, he’s just running roughshod over her desires in the name of protecting her.

yeah, ruin your kid's career when she can hold her own at fucking 16 years old already (or however old she is atm) without ever being sure she can get a foothold in another job or not. single digit iq move that.
wish we didn't have to read this bullshit about parental pride (?) - or whatever the fuck this brainrot is supposed to be - in every manga featuring kids and their parents.

I'm not sure "If you make one mistake, you have to quit" is a sustainable life lesson, old man. Not when she's already made it farther into the idol business than 99% of other idols. They should make sure to point out every time he makes a mistake, make him eat his mustache, and completely start over in a new field.

yeah she made made me proud but Im a pragmatic asshole so I am gonna use technicality of our promise instead of looking at the big picture and forbid my daughter to peruse her dream
bum ass
i.webp

to elaborate on big picture a bit, imo its much harder to come back from a mistake live on stage than not to make one at all, those are the moments that show who the actual stars are

It was supposed to be a test of her ability to deal with a predatory industry and perform despite the difficulty, trying to drag it down after things went well is just being a petty, sore loser. It does not make practical sense either: yes, the idol industry is horrible and it's honestly better not to tie your future to it as a source of income. However, it's not like she's working class, according to the story, her family is loaded. There is zero pressure on her getting some other job skills instead, since even if something were to happen to her parents, she'd be inheriting the family's wealth. Might as well let her try what she fancies. What's even the point of great wealth if not to let your children have the lives they want without worry?

Did you hear me? ... There's no way voice could have reached Rei. And yet, somehow, I felt like she understood me. My voice, which shouldn't have been able to reach her, did
i know youre supposed to assume he meant it figuratively but the words he said literally was "What the hell are you looking at, Rei?!" :LOL:

Well... Honestly? This is nothing compared to a bad real day in the life of an idol, one slip and it can be way WAY worse than anything.
Yeah, I get the drama but honestly, Idol Culture is shit and I don't disagree with her father

well yeah, obviously there is a difference between a mostly fluffy rom-com/slice of life manga and the real life toxic idol culture.

just because I think the father fills a villain role in this manga for trying to stop his daughter becoming an idol doesn't mean I think the actual atrocities happening due to the idol culture are somehow ok.
