There she is, the worst mom in the world, who is even rooting against her own daughter basically.

Ah, so she got tired of Connie too? amazing...
Once again, I find myself conflicted ... If there's a new girl with bad attitude and taught by the mother too...WHY JUST WHY the anime decided to turn Connie into a bitch? oh well, doesn't matter anymore.
Thanks for the new chapter XP! look at that manspreading in the car lol that's extreme

What the actual ffff. How many children did this woman raise and throw away in the name of badminton?

I don't think she is rooting against Ayano. I think she just doesn't think she can win.

What kind of dirty crap is that geezer pulling by promising Ayano that she can meet her mother, then ambushing her with a match, and telling her "win and you can meet your mother". The whole "win and you can meet her" angle is slimy enough, but then to tell her mother to leave the arena if Ayano wins, just completely takes the cake. He is trying to mentally break her.

At this point, I am not sure if Ayano's mother is devious, or just stupid and oblivious to her daughter's suffering.

The language of her grandparents' explanation for why Uchika left seemed vague to me. I can't tell if they were saying that Uchika left because she realized she was treating Ayano like a badminton player instead of her daughter. Or if they were saying that Uchika felt she was pampering Ayano too much, and she needed to leave her to help her become a better badminton player. All of the lead up to it with Ayano having trouble making friends and having a mental break over the loss, plus her coach's words about her mother not leaving because she lost makes me think, we are to believe she left to take pressure off of Ayano, but here she is in a scheme to apply pressure to Ayano.

The language from Kaoruko in this chapter indicates that Ayano's personality change is the opposite from the anime. She said that Ayano was a soulless robot before Uchika left, but now Ayano seems like a normal person. That would almost indicate that she has become a better person since her mother left, but it's hard to tell Uchika's motivations.

As for the other girls Uchika has trained, if she just wants Ayano to become a better player, maybe she trained them specifically as rivals for Ayano. That would be completely unfair to those other girls though, especially Connie who she basically adopted.

I want to think that Uchika's intentions are pure, but going along with this geezer who tells her "I won't let her meet you yet" is pretty despicable. Who the hell is this guy to get in between a mother and her daughter? What kind of mother is Uchika to allow herself to be bait dangled in front of her daughter's face and then yanked away?

I'm astonished at how this story manages to make Uchika even worse at every new chapter. Every single time I think she can't sink lower, she outdoes herself. Also, fuck that creepy old man and Coach for not standing up to him.

What kind of mother abandons her child for losing a game? What kind of coach withholds a child's access to their parent for a sport? The mother and old man are unbelievably scummy, for such low and unimportant reasons.

Also coach should have never let some old man take his player, credentials or not.

Well according to the grandparents, she didn't abandon her for losing the game. The real reason is unclear though. The chapter that explained why her mother left made it seem like Ayano's only purpose in life was badminton though and she wasn't living as a normal child.

I am not even sure the mangaka is keeping the story straight at this point.

How does Kaouroku change from " Grr! Ayano is my nemesis! I want to crush her!" to true believer in five minutes.
