Why is cutting hair always so forced like this. Never seen this happen irl with my friends who decided to move on with their love lives...

It's a manga thing I guess

Def doesn't make me wanna read the LN or the rest

Fortunately (Actually unfortunately since I've been meaning to sit down and read it) since the LN was licensed CClaw took the translated LN chapters off their site so you can't even if you wanted to.

Unless there's a reupload somewhere anyways.

Everything. Not understanding the impact of your actions is what denotes the exact lack of maturity proper of teens. It comes with time and empathy, so you'll get there eventually

I can understand that it's bad to date your step-sibling if you're not 100% serious about it (Just to mess around) but that's not what I meant so let's see, impact of the actions of seriously dating a step-sibling
1. The parents disagree with it or are uncomfortable with it: if it isn't a toxic relationships and both of the step-siblings truly love each other, then learn to accept it (Personally if I remarried and my kid and my partners kid were truly in love with each other I would support them)
2. Other people shame them for being indecent or whatever: That's truthfully none of their business
3. If what you're talking about that it's just a teenager fling (Kinda like a fling that goes over when the teenager matures more): I can understand if the step-siblings break up after it might be awkward but the circumstance I was talking about was that it was true love and not just a teenager fling

Now please elaborate on this circumstance and why it would have an negative impact on their lives and/or the lives around them:

Two step-siblings (Teenagers) are in love with each other (And they will likely be together a long time since their love is very strong) they may have been together since birth or not, this information is not important and you can choose to respond to each situation individually

Now I ask, why do you think this is a problem and has a negative impact?

Also another thing, why are you assuming I'm a teen just because I think it's fine for step-siblings to date and that the parents don't have a say in that?
With a quick google search most people agree (adults included) that it's completely fine for step-siblings to date, so stop with the "teens lack the understanding of the impact of their actions" stuff

Thanks for the tl !
So bittersweet...
I can only hope they can end together without hurting their parents... While as a westerner i don't see what's the big issue, since they're not related by blood in any way.

then theres the people saying that teens are immature because we think this lmao

My god so many immature teens in the comments. People this story is set in Japan for the Japanese audience keeping Japanese society in mind. They could not just"date because you are not blood related" as societal views and reputation are quite important in places like Japan. If you have a bad rumour about you,you are shunned by everyone. I am quite worried about you people if you think dating your step sister is ok even in western society. Y'all have definitely been reading and watching too much step sibling stuff that you have lost a grasp on what is actually normal and abnormal. Also this "trope" of cutting hair is not a trope but quite a common thing. Whenever someone goes through a breakup or wants to overcome their feelings they change their appearance-dressing more flashily, dyeing your hair, cutting your hair is quite common. While cutting hair is often seen in manga, it's because it is the most obvious change that can be visible in manga format as well as artworks.

Immature teens? Yeah no bud, if you're completely serious about dating your step-sibling why shouldn't you be allowed to date him/her? Worried about us? Oh come on you're tryna act mature without a single ounce of reason, I've always thought dating your step-sibling is completely fine before I even read/watched step-sibling mangas/animes, if I am lucky to find someone that I have insanely high compatibility with, I fit perfectly with and the love is mutual, I will not let her go just because she's my step-sibling and others are against it, that's their problem not mine why would I care about that? We're basically strangers, and the only thing that relates us is our parents being married and a piece of paper. (This is an example btw, this hasn't happened to me)
If the only thing you can respond to what I said is that I'm being "immature" and not actually give an actual example on why it's not okay to date your step-sibling then I call bs (Oh and before you say that it will "ruin" the family, no, no it won't, if they're good parents they will accept their childrens happiness)
