In rereading some chapters to find the citation for Akane's fiance, I came across something else that may be relevant to this chapter. Chiaki, Akane and Kogane's mom, once (chapter 43) told Goro, "There is no need for a human to force himself to fight against non-humans, okay?" Zanma-sensei...

Akane: "Goro-kun is... the second, huh..." It is also important to remember that Akane was a fox bride, but her husband died shortly (one day?) after their wedding. (EDIT: Akane mentions this in chapter 60.2, however, her fiance died the day after he proposed and they were never married.) Looks...

Oh, SNAP! It was GORO, not Akane, who big timed Megane-Tama with his power of salaryman business etiquette. You love to see it. The beneficence of the gods we've met in the work is a nice contrast to the day-to-day hassle of working with intermediaries. It was nice to see that Akane's...

Didn't expect this to turn into a Mieruko chapter all of a sudden. Another reminder that yokai and the supernatural are not always friendly fox wives. Goro gets to flex the dogged determination of a salaryman as he cares for Kogane and looks for a cure for her curse. I wonder if Akane will get...

I always say "thanks as always to sarusa," and I mean it. Who knows if this manga will ever be licensed, if I'll ever learn enough Japanese to read it myself, or if I ever would have found it without this scan. Thank you, sarusa (and thumper) for everything you do to bring us this work which...

It's a shame Kogane has to suffer such backlash for cursing Glasses to live the life he would have lived if he hadn't lucked into a monster servant. I really like that Zanma-sensei already showed us in chapter 75 that Goro isn't gonna be dissuaded by a slightly beastly Kogane. I never thought...

Yeah, the imagery used when Kogane shlorped him definitely had "snatched his soul" vibes.

Akane dresses down Glasses as the pathetic, dumb loser he has consistently shown himself to be. Akane best girl. Even after his flashback to his more innocent black company slaryman days, Glasses doubles down on running away from his crimes, but Truck-kun is not always so benevolent. Maybe...

Exactly my point. Glasses presents himself as this superior guy who gets ahead through cunning, but he can't conceive of anything outside his own experiences. I know this is cliche to say, but he's like the Dunning–Kruger effect personified.

More like furutsuBAKA, amirite? Love Zanma-sensei being self-aware about the villain choice. I also want to call out that Glasses was so dumb he didn't even account for Goro having more than only Kogane for support. I like that Zanma-sensei is establishing a theme that evil is pathetic. Both...

Everything Glasses says is the stupidest, least interesting thing ever said. But, I guess what else do you expect from someone who uses a yokai to cheat his way through life? Thanks as always to sarusa.

Granny really shows how the bonds between people ("strands", as Kojima would call them) are really central to this manga. I won't lie, I picked Alraune partly because one shows up in Plus Sized Elf, so I figure they must be a type of monster girl Japan is familiar with.

Alraune? Maybe? Glasses and Yandere-chan pull the laziest plan and it works because of Goro's indulgent politeness. Deep Fried Stalker-kun worked harder than this and didn't get half as close. Better to be lucky than good, I guess. I would be remiss if I didn't point out that normal life...

That thought never crossed my mind. Instead, I feel like Yandere-chan may be secretly in control or just playing Glasses. Glasses just seems too dim to be the real lead in whatever dark business this is. I feel like Goro staying home is gonna push things in a new, more extreme/dark direction...

Happy New Year to all. here's to another year of fox wives.

Ah, we get a nice dark reflection of Goro and Kogane with Glasses and Yandere-chan (I won't be bothering to learn their names). We'll see the contrast between the selfish and lazy Glasses and the selfless and diligent Goro and between the amoral doormat Yandere-chan and the principled and...

Yuurei-chan may be scary, but I know someone scarier... "Should I just kill them?" Zanma-sensei has really gone from 0 to 100. I have a feeling that this won't be as simple as dipping a bad fox in some oil. I also have a feeling that this will be a big character moment for Goro where he gets...

So, Goro got important at work, took on more work, and had all the credit stolen by a scheming loser. It's not just Japan that has this problem.

"This will be make or break. I'm trusting your judgment." Man! I did not expect an extra to be so meaningful. For all the criticism Goro receives for being cautious and thinking things through and being slow to act, this upcoming arc comes down to Goro's judgment. I can't wait. And the...

What a rollercoaster of a chapter. The serious moments with Goro-mama really hit home, and it shows how serious Goro's depression was. And for all the cries of "Goro's a monk", seeing that his parents tell him, even as an adult, not to play around with women, feels very natural. This is the...
