Futari Bus - Ch. 44 - Fluttering Hair

[Chronigan]

Ann saw Shunpei running and realized he is a guy?
Is this a Juno reference?

Talk about obscure.

Why is Shunpei low-key aura farming this chapter

Mama Hinoki isn't trying to tease them, but damn does this feel a bit like bullying.

Classic oblivious mum moment, she still sees them both as little kids, rather than the awkward not-quite-kids, not-quite-adults that they are, and everything that entails.

Mom doing the lord's work here.

The main problem in parents understanding of such situations is that they don't realize that the scale of person's feelings, memories, problems is relative to their age. As an example to illustrate the issue: the fourth birthday party of a child is 25% of all of their birthday parties, but to a 33 year old, it's only 3%. Older people's birthday parties can be memorable, but they won't be as novel to them as they are to young children.

A child's romantic relationships and interactions are cute for parents because they feel it from their much longer life's experience. Even if the parent only had one or two people they liked romantically, these feelings are stretched over a longer time span. To the teenager, it is often the biggest feeling they felt in their very short (compared to a parent's) life. Even the lightest teasing can feel like mocking and belittlement. It ends up invalidating a child's feelings in a situation, where they could really use support of safe people in their life. The children feel embarrassed, they can start hiding it, and in extreme cases, even stop sharing any of their feelings with the parents.

They are in fact the cutest of things...

And I can totally relate with Shunpei's inability to see change after a woman has her hair cut, just can't see it, have tried my best.

And thanks for the translation, this is a lovely, lovely manga

Completely wrong take conflating teasing and bullying, typical of this muh safe zone era. People who were never teased during their childhood and teen years are typically the most hypersensitive people you can find on this planet, with an excessively fragile coddled ego and the narrowest comfort zone. None of the mom's comments made fun of their actual feelings and calling an awkward moment awkward is a typical way to defuse said awkwardness by making light fun of it. Grow a thicker skin.
I can't be assed to respond to all the feelings scaling with age and other nonsense so I'll just call you a retard instead.

I'm aware. Hence why I said it felt like, even though it was no such thing.

For a second there, Shunpei seemed disappointed thinking An-chan was going to get short hair. But having her hair down and just slightly trimmed actually makes her MILF aura so much stronger. She looks way prettier and more mature now 💕

thank you for translation

"Milf" aura...? What dat mean

 

[FGRayz]

[EnFiveFour]

When someone comes from afar and gets bigger in the process — it's not because he's a guy, it's because of perspective, you know?

This is an incredibly infantile response, and uncalled for. There is an extremely thin line between fun teasing and bullying, and teenagers in particular are sensitive to it.

My response to your "grow a thicker skin" = Don't be an asshole.
