@AugustusR yes, it's technically incest, but it is legal in Japan. And in a lot of the rest of the world (including parts of the US). 1st cousins are OK to marry. Frankly, it's rarer to see their family making a big deal out of it than anything else.
@pihip the key difference isn't that the uncle didn't hate him, it's that he didn't ABANDON him
So she’s also an elder God (I think)?! I did not expect that! She called herself a “stray dog”, Who / what in the name of lovecraft is she? I know that the big sister is Shub-Niggurath (a.k.a “The Black goat of the woods with a Thousand young” a dark fertility goddess), but who is this new girl or “stray dog” in Lovecraft lore?
@pihip Yog-Sothoth also has tendrils and eyeballs as a common motif in his appearance and I personally lean towards it being him as the Hounds of Tindalos are associated with pursuing time travellers (which the uncle seems to have attempted) and Yog-Sothoth is the manifestation of the space-time continuum.
Oof, this chapter. 😟 Two things: first, yeah Ryou, I doubt you're going to do much to Haru trying to strangle an eldritch being like her. Second, looks like we're going to see how far gone Ryou's mind truly is, very soon.
Also, the source for the first bonus art at the end of the chapter is this: https://twitter.com/kawa_sandaime/status/1217062522756288512 ; this was not done by Pochi. The artist made this as response to the announcement of the Ane Naru Mono OVA.
Go, summon up the Dead Ones,
Chanting the rites of Yog-Sothoth!
Go, summon up the Dead Ones,
From essential salts!
Yes, go summon up the Dead Ones,
From the pits of black N'Kai!
Yes, go summon up the Dead Ones,
But don't let it go awry!
