Hen na Ie - Vol. 6 Ch. 26.1

[unlock_yurameki]

One last thing about the one-armed-one-legged-lady-building, I superimposed it onto the Negishi house, and the spiral/heart thing seems to (roughly) line up with where the doll was hidden (inside the closet in the Japanese-style room). Kurihara wondered whether it was placed there merely to hide it, but I wonder if the spiral and the doll are connected somehow.

Er, very fascinating, but could you use the spoiler function to cover the spoiler-y text?

hai... wtf i thought i spoiler texted it thanks for telling me

....huh. That Small little puddle of blood under the kid....? Sure a kid has less blood then an adult, but not THAT much less. Gut wounds are nasty. I think we all agree this one seems fishy, and the mother seems way more suspicious despite the circumstances. Given its a mystery series anyways lmao.

Starting a second mystery is fun, I admit!

Ngl I was confused why on earth they eat in the living room when there's a perfectly empty room beside the kitchen, then everyone says "yeah its the grandma's room" now I feel stoopid 😂

 

[Chireall]

I KNEW the small amount of doors are going to be a talking point the moment I saw it. That first floor hallway is, again, suffocating. Lesser than the previous house though.

 

[aaaaa8]

Kurihara is so hot...

It is confirmed in the chapter itself that the grandmother lived in the room beside the kitchen.
page 28: "Yeah... Especially since there was a pool of blood from the grandma's room to the kitchen."

Another thing that is odd: There are only five members of family, why do they need five rooms?
Usually the parents shared a room. Children might shared a room, but maybe they wanted separated rooms from the get go, so that's three rooms. The immobile grandmother should live in 1st floor. So there are two extra rooms that they don't really need.

Looking at the plan, if the children used the northern rooms, I don't think it would be any of a problem. That's basically a giant shared room. However, if they use all the southern rooms, [child room] [child room] [parents room], now it would lead to problems. Like, if in the middle of the night the grandma need something, then the mother have to pass all the children rooms.

Nice touch with all the police wearing masks on the year of 2020. Oh. If it happened during Covid Outbreak, I can see how the mother - grandmother's relationship get worse rapidly.

Also Tsama, did you really need to misaligned the text on the floor plan, because of the crease from the folding? /stand ovation

I didn't think about the corona thing at all, nice catch. You're right that that could really fuck up an already strained family dynamic!

i know it's the series main plot point, but everytime i see a new floor plan i can't help but think "who the hell saw this design and said 'aight, good enough. build it!'????"

 

[Babymech2]

Are these things that would make sense in Japan and nowhere else? Why does the toilet stink so bad you can smell it outside the bathroom? Why would the family members be crashing into each other? Why would somebody ever do a floor area reduction - I know Japanese houses typically depreciate instead of appreciate in value... but why speed up the loss off value?

 

[alfirizkyr]

Oh, those plans made me feel the same weird knot in my stomach as the very first plans of this manga. It's the kind of floorplan that just looks weird at first glance even before a more careful look, and the more you think about it, the more nauseating it feels.

Much stronger feeling from this one than the last.

Liking where this is going already.
