Not wrong. I decided to drop this just because it does such a poor job hanging together. While they spent more time on the lead in than the novel did, I didn't feel nearly as much hatred towards her family. Mostly I really don't care about them and the revenge is meh. Karen just doesn't have...
The whole dynamics here are just strange. Karen is juggling a bomb, Ethel/Stella really does hold the cards but she has completely lost control of the path. I do like she has apparently been willing to completely set aside her personal feelings and realize that no she doesn't have full freedom...
Why hasn't she fed that cane to her gran through her anus already? Nah why hasn't she gone full Lizzie Borden on that whole family. At the very least she should have hightailed it out of dodge long ago.

The cheating is once again how she refers to...
Is there any reason she is perpetually dressed as a maid?
I mean I don't walk around with a multimeter, oscilloscope or a computer (well development system). Send I have never worn a pocket protector or a slide rule. You don't see doctors wearing a speculum or a stethoscope or lawyers wearing...

I think the neighbor is the stand in for the western readers wondering WTF is going on with this manga
Also the way the cake was drawn I first thought it was bacon.
