I like first half of page 16. It's like me and all other readers already perfectly know what Hizumi says there.
I sort of also want Hizumi doll. Is cute.
What do I think about mom? Well, despite being a manga character, her final verdict is of a sane person from a real world. That's kinda refreshing, but also very very sad. Looks like the only way for MC to be happy is to graduate from being a loser and start slaving at full-time job, earning goddamn money. Reality you heartless bitch!

Thank you very much for the translation, gentlemen.

Why I'm not surprised. Well, aside of her antiques, her perspective is pretty normal for a mother. Albeit a bit... warped, if not perfectionist. She must have had a bad time with her husband, who's probably as loser as her "future" son-in-law.

Well, we've reached it. The final boss of our duo's romance trial. We are finally entering the arc where Hizumi's other half of character progression will be fulfilled. Honestly I was waiting for this moment. Even shinba's fidgeting as he doesn't understand the meaning or actions of others while we, the audience know dang well what these 2 want. I don't expect some overly dramatic re-telling of Hizumi's past but I hope we can get to know if her mom was also apart of why she doesn't want to be with a competent man. Genuinely excited to see what's next ngl.

Maybe the dad died and the mother loved him and MC reminds her too much of her late husband?
It could be. The dad is the same loser as Shinba is. Probably much worse than Shinba. But, the moment dad finally became butterfly, breaking up his own chrysalis, that's also the moment where it takes his own life. Maybe to protect mom, or even Hizumi in the past?
And the bad doll that her mom has, probably also a gift from dad. Similar to Hizumi's dull scarf and toy ring from Shinba. And last, two symbolize things (Hizumi's doll inside the bag and small plant inside a cage) can be interpreted as how she, as the owner of chrysalises, does not want both of them turn into butterfly.

When will her past be revealed anyway? I want to know now at this point then just have the story continue with SoL chapters, character development for both. It's becoming like Okaeri Papa manga where the mystery gets dragged on forever that you don't care anymore

Reading through page 11 was rough, it was like watching him pick the worst dialogue option. At least he managed to follow it up perfectly except for the kiss fumble.:pout:

So the mom wants to get between their love to prevent hizumi going through the same thing she went through, wonder how similar shinba is to her husband to make her think that way. She's not even going to try threatening shinba or something but intends to "teach" hizumi, whatever that means. But shinba's come this far! Don't underestimate his resolve to be the perfect man for hizumi!:win:

Aaah, codependency, so romantic.
The chrysalis pages were perfectly creepy in just the right way.
Sooo... We finally get confirmation, only for it to be immediately turned on its head.
Out of all the possible usual suspects, that her father might have been the loser she loved and traumatized her, was certainly not on my bingo card.

Mother Dearest ALMOST convinced me that she would be actually supportive but you don't pull out wearing funeral clothes when you're sane of mind... then again, sadly, I can't blame her too much either on this one : from a realistic POV, Shinba is indeed still a pathetic loser who could use a pair of balls transplant.

HOWEVER, her daughter is an accomplished grown-ass woman !! So, kindly back the fuck off, Ma'am or we'll be throwing hands !!
