The mum is a full on manipulator man. This woman is literally just stuffing her thumb on top of the poor kid making him life up to her ridiculous standards wth
@kurosaki96 absolute happiness and bliss don't come without maximum suffering. If some of you have watched the world masterpiece theater series, Homeless child, Hatchi the orphan or Demetan the frog, this plays a lot similar to those 70s anime for children.
@kipi shall the incest tag be added to this if Fumi goes full incestuous on him?? Nvm, this chapter kinda debunked a possible momcest moment, "mom of the year" wants her son to be even purer than a baby.
@Survivor454 if he goes barefoot or only in socks (impossible, because Fumi threw away all his clothes), he'll leave heavy evidence via the trail of mud, and things might go even worse.
Besides, he has zero dignity left, as the notes say🤣.
MC, being the smart person he is, decided to steal the dress instead of going for jeans, sweating pants (, or even yoga ones at that point). To be honest, if he was going to steal clothes, might as well stolen his own clothes back (they are poor so its not like mom had a safe or anything hard to break)
@avatarivn He probably took the dress because she'd just worn it and it wouldn't be out of place for it to have a slight musty smell on it(as long as he doesn't do anything strenuous, it should be fine).
I wonder how they will meet now with there meeting spot gone think they might still bump into each other
@Tamerlane@LordTrollbias it's not about keeping him a boy or its more about keeping him a pure man so he doesnt turn out like the scumbags at her work and his father.
@Starbright, @Tamerlane,@LordTrollbias keep in mind nips consider that "purity = innocence/naiveté". So, and as i said several posts below (and as another user pointed below), Fumi wants Souta to keep as a pure manbaby, bc, in her eyes, men (as of functional adult men) are all degenerates, traitors and scumbags and only puerile kids are good people. By stripping him off his clothes and throwing them away, she's basically seeing him as a baby.
Too bad this will bite her in her ass really hard once Souta sees the hard evidences he needed to connect the dots.
@SerpensR i hope you are just joking or being sarcastic about the last line. Yeah, she loves her child, but in a really twisted and fucked up way that has already gone into child abuse territory and blatant violation of a specific japanese law (google Article 220 of the japanese penal code) as of the latest chapters.
