Tama and Akane should be allies as they are the same in many areas. Zanma-sensei really has a knack for endearing characters, and with Tama and Kogane being friends, I doubt it's the last we'll see of Ukano-okami-sama. Goro matter-of-factly treating Kogane as his wife has me more worried than...

Ah, another "connections" chapter. I like these. I'm a sucker for "good kid just wants to be normal" stories, so of course my heart went out to Mutsumi-chan and her desire to play with the human kids. While it was great that the adults helped her have a fun Halloween, I can still hope she...

This is a wild sentence to read when you forget sarusa put the Halloween short at the end of the chapter.

Yotsuyu on... Dangerous yokai: Should I just kill them? Dragonflies: Save me! Yotsuyu's veranda dive is one of the more dynamic panels in the series, and pon Yotsuyu is always a joy to behold. While Goro and Toda get all the blame, it was Goro's mom that wanted Kogane's shed toe beans. :slap...

Kogane absolutely knows what she is doing. She can feel Goro's resolve weaking with all the fanfur. Thanks as always to sarusa and thumper.

I gotta say, I wanted a little more from the flashback for Kogane's mom and dad. That said, it did play out kinda like I predicted, with Kogane's mom following Kogane's dad back to the village and that being the whole courtship. We did get the intriguing detail that Kogane's mom is one of...

Fluff for the Fluff God. I fully expect Tama to be told by Ukano-sama that not only is having friends ok, but Tama SHOULD make friends with mortals to help her have better perspective as a divine servant. Also, we once again see the theme of this manga, interpersonal connections. Kogane, who...

Heh, this is my favorite chapter in a little while. Goro's mother is just so... motherly. I knew the question of the shed pieces would come up somewhere, and here we are. I think the contrast between Goro and his mom really shows off how Goro's emotions are still buried. Goro's mom is free...

Exactly this, especially the idea that their relationship has suffered a bit of a reset. It's actually somewhat jarring to see Goro get so emotional at the shrine talking to Tama-chan only to see him seemingly push those emotions away during his and Kogane's six-month anniversary. I've...

Poor Akane had a bit of a busman's holiday. Now she's off again, leaving big shoes for Mugi to fill. Meanwhile, even though Goro treats Kogane well, it seems like he feels a bit more distant. This didn't feel as heartwarming as I'd expect. With Goro saying he felt completely worn out to...

:thonk: I'm on this ride to the end, confident that even if it doesn't end how I wanted, I'll understand why it ended how it did. Zanma-sensei does everything for a reason. Here's to 155 more chapters! :aquadrink:

It may be her mother's blade, but Kogane being trained by her dad is sure to be a big deal. The village is waiting for him to name a successor, and while he might not put any pressure on Kogane, I doubt the villagers will restrain themselves. Goro is already planning for the future with Kogane...

We have been told that living in the human world is hard for Kogane (and, by extension, all monster foxes). However, these past two chapters have really shown that in a meaningful way. With the curse backlash stripping away all the skills and abilities Kogane had honed to live in the human...

The new big bad is a little bigger and badder than I expected. tame yokai and grudges against the fox village? Another strong storm on the horizon, it seems. But, if Mogami-sama isn't worried, why should I worry? Thanks as always to sarusa and thumper.

You know Goro is respected in Kongo village when the leaders don't complain when he makes tons of work for them with his "reward". But, it's just like Goro to selflessly use his reward for the greater good. Goro was ruled out as unsuitable for being a "fox possessor", but that was something...
