She probably doesn't have any plan. I think she was so miserable that she sought a companion to share the pain, that's what her son is for her, a tool to relieve pain by dragging him to her world. But after awhile she just wants it to end, hence her wanting the truth about her crime to come out in the past chapters. In prison, she escapes all the hardship, she no longer see her husband's family that isolates her, she no longer has to see her own husband whom she seems to not love anymore, and finally her own child, her son whose life she destroyed. If anything, those she left behind are the one seeking closure from her.

somehow, even though this is a slow manga, it's never boring

 

[Eruyan]

Pretty slow but it always makes me stay interested

 

[Irrsinn]

Can't help but feel there's something crucial missing.

When I first started this series, I'm not gonna lie, I thought there was gonna be incest. It's a dark series, so anything could happen.

@Rare_Peanuts It got added once he started remembering that scene more clearly when the aunt picked him off with her car.

I wonder how the lawyer is looking at seichi, can’t tell if it’s annoyance because his confession hurts his case, pity, or if she’s skeptical. This author is great at conveying these confusing facial expressions and unsaid things. Also I think this is the only manga I’ve read with themes of incest where the other things that happen actually seem worse than the incest.

 

[Weezer]

it feels like exactly 1 thing happens every chapter, but that 1 thing is always so captivating...

You just sent your mother to lifetime prision.. Merry Christmas

 

[bigtiddyoneesan]

Officer-san is the most likeable character in this manga so far

 

[bambou1991]

Incredible what a positive authority figure can do to a boy.

 

[kpakane]

Agree with @bigtiddyonresan, so far at least. He knows that Seiko is abusive.

 

[mhmdizvn]

"I am my own person." This affirmation is the most powerful one coming from one struggling out of abusive narcissist parental relationship.

 

[Chair_6010]

Idk if we are out of the woods yet.

See now why this author had such an identity crisis and align so much with the trans community. Bro can't even affirm who he is as a person, has to have other people tell him. Even then, can he even draw his own conclusion? Mental illness
