What if these women just have resting sus face and it's just a slice of life romance story that feels stressful but nothing actually happens
RIGHT i think this ALL the time. this would be a perfectly normal chapter if not for the psychotic expressions

"Nothing Ever Happens: The Manga©", but the Nothing is so good

Except that one school friend who "disappeared" when that fan found her on the streets at night. Yurika was her name.

Hopefully she is fine, and living much better life if this manga is nothingburger as it hints it is... :meguuusad:

Man, with what little backstory they gave about her so far, i cant really feel bad for kirari right now.

It seems she has a good family at least? They didnt reveal anything aside from her aspiring to be an author which can be frowned upon by trad asians.

Being so embarrassed by her mom is normal, but hers seemed more like she just projects every negative thing to her. Like what was so embarassing of handmade stuff to show appreciation (and lowkey bribe really lmao) to the only friend she has? Thats better than nothing.

So i can only see her problems as a result of her own insecurities and really low self esteem... and with that shes so easily manipulated. The type to become a blind follower in cults.

Could be the wrong environment, hasnt found any normal and good comrades that share her hobby, having a solitary school life,

Right??

We're 4 years and 40 chapters into this story, but no motive has been established yet.

I don't even feel any suspense or anxiety which the author has been building up, because we have no idea what the stakes even are, lol
I think there are pieces of intrigue set up:
  • Mom was groomed by her father, which led to Touko
  • The duo set out for vulnerable men to do the same for Touko
  • Seems like they're searching for the right one, given how many times they've done this
  • Our protagonist is being groomed for Touko to conceive.
  • They are doing everything to ensure their plan goes through, with the bully being gone, his sister being under their thumb, and seemingly a way to eliminate the last potential dad

maybe some voodoo magic to give birth to her real papa, they just need the current papa as seed or vessel. hence the title welcome back papa

she's just a pawn. Touko probably only had that 1 time she needed her. but since she keeps coming back and is devoted to her, might as well not waste a good minion
