He was suprresing his true feelings, or pretending not to see things around, but now it all came out. Poor Maki, hopefully Umi will cheer him up in the next part pf this chapter

Emotional... I don't get it, but emotional nonetheless.

Dad was a deadbeat as a father figure.

 

[monkymeet]

Awkward for the in-laws but I'm sure they'll be understanding

Thanks for the update

That moment the convenient, my parents are never around during a romcom so I can conveniently bring my not girlfriend to my home, actually comes with emotional baggage and not something we just hand wave away. I think it was a gag earlier on with My Dress Up Darling as well when the author felt bad that the anime had the main characters pray for his parents when he just had them be dead so it’ll be convenient for the romcom.

 

[shinshom]

when u figure out your unhappyness is not THAT normal...

Its so harsh... he managed to surpress everything till now.... but experiencing again a happy family is breaking him apart ..

My parents divorced when I was in like 5th grade lel

I was like 4 when it happened, it woulda been been even worse the older I got.

It’s been handled really well here, it’s been clear he’s not really processed it for a while. It’s also great that we can see that there’s a place he can go and witness the positives of having a household at least.

so it really the dad who distance himself first

poor boy. he's clearly papa boy before

im not sure if it will show his perspective, but the dad rly was just overworking himself to provide more for the family.

In the end they drifted apart but everyone there still liked each other... its even more sad in my book.

the couple still love eachother but cant stand anymore living like this... Mostly because the dad dont communicate that great (similar to Maki) and Mom is just lonely.... and Dad trying to provide....

 

[tekkenshu7]

Hot damn. Umi's father and brother won't be able to wait to have Maki join their family because of this.

As someone whose parents divorced while I was in high school too, this does hit home and is very well portrayed.

Of course it's different for everyone. Many folks end up divorced due to cheating, abuse or worse, rather than just a couple drifing apart. But the ever increasing rift between the family was something I felt a lot too during high school (it was probably there in middle school as well I just didn't pay much attention). Idk when it started but eventually you notice your parents just aren't the same anymore, they're out doing their own thing and the interactions between themselves and with you all feel off in subtle ways, until the inevitable notice of divorce comes in.

In my case I was pretty jaded by the time my parents announced their divorce, since it had been years of us drifting apart and me interacting less with them, it just felt more like "Yeah figures". If anything I just wish they had told me sooner instead of pretending to be a married couple for years to "preserve" the family. Though looking back on it now, it probably screwed me up emotionally in ways I didn't and maybe still don't grasp.

I feel for you Maki.

I have a strong inclination Maki's father here isnt loyal. From Maki telling him you're a stranger now, you have your own family and new children to him starting to date a younger chick from his work near immediately after the divorce and him admitting he doesnt love Maki's mom anymore while she cant answer well and most likely still does harbor feelings...

His father barely tried to stop maki or anything when told to go away during their last interview. Dude was checked the fuck out emotionally from his family. He barely cared and did everything to distance himself.

Maybe he didnt shag the new girlbefore the divorce, but he certainly was seeing her more often than his wife and kid. Gonna be nigh impossible to redeem his character from what we've been given

They were never shown to have been in hard times throughout the story, plus the dad getting a new girl soon after the divorce is just sketchy as fuck. If he really did care about his wife still he wouldve struggled more instead of just shacking up with a new chick soon after.

Maybe in the light novel we get some more and different details, but as the manga goes, the dad is looking real shit right now

 

[magnetsmangadex]

I don't even remember the previous chapter

Yeah i read too many different series, had to go back like 2-3 chapters.

In the manga will show u more in depth what "happened" but it is mostly how it looks like.

Dad just wanted to overwork to provide.
Mom was getting stressed cause husband doesnt come back
Son starts to feel the pressure of their relationship going ot the sink.

Now about the new relationship of the Dad... well it will be explained on the story but it sjust confirming, he was not cheating, that can be said.

This is some projection going on here XDDDD....

The new girl is from the work so yeah I guess he was seeing more her, but they are clear they are quite professional and the girl only makes a move after he says he is going to get divorced.

Sorry for the spoiler but this is such a small topic on the grand scheme XDDDD

it is diff for other people, they might have not taken their parent's divorce well and probs even lived a shit life afterward.
although i was quite unhappy at the beginning, the more time passed, the happier i am that they divorced. they seem to be doing better without the ex-partner (although now i feel like my birth was a mistake but that's ok since i have two christmas lmao)

well Maki is still on his first year dealing with the divorce so theres that as well.

and in Japan is quite a different tone because the parent without the custody usually sees almost never the kid....
