Harapeko Oyako to Motokare Yanushi - Ch. 23

[FearlessDawg]

"I guess she likes cats." Yes, but also bro she loves her papa. God this manga's so good, can't help but smile ear to ear when I read it

 

[UdenEmpati]

Pretty sure she blushed because she was embarrassed hopefully

It was absolutely because she was embarrassed at Natsuki seeing her smiling at Takaharu's praising her artwork.

People going on about Oyakodon nonsense have spent too much time on the Internet.

Falling for artist runs in the family I see

previous chapters kinda confirms it he's not the father ?

 

[UdenEmpati]

No "kinda" about it

Takaharu is not Minori's father.

 

[Kaito57]

Curious how Mama would react here lol

 

[finalm]

He's talking about her mother.

 

[KappaDvorak]

he really become her adoptive dad

 

[Statyc]

Yes, but the mother fell for an artist. And now the daughter is falling for another artist.

Nice to see the kiddo letting her walls down some!

Thank you for the translation!

This really reinforces just how "safe" Minori feels in Takaharu's home. Takaharu would call it "being too naive/defenseless", but thanks to her friend's POV, we see that--no, she really puts up walls around everyone when she's off at places like school.
But that home is her safety zone, and where she opens up and becomes much more expressive.

Just nice to see. And, it's nice seeing Minori and Takaharu bounce off one another like this, independent of Kyou - again, reinforcing that Minori sees Takaharu as someone trustworthy and that Takaharu sees Minori as a fixture of his household now. (Even if he's just her cook for the most part.)
I hope Natsuki sticks around. Another potential anchor point for Minori to grow even more, expanding her base of friends and those she comes to trust. He seems pretty okay for the most part, and no one thus far in this series has been "villainous", so I'm not really expecting a straight-up "bad guy" to pop up, at least for Minori of all people.

And of course, any chapter with Naako is a good chapter. Objectively speaking.

hmm actually great point you bring up, havent considered that

 

[silencers]

oh, we're developing his dad instincts are we? fine, ive been sold from day one anyway

 

[ShiitakeCat]

Thanks for the chapter!

 

[Trevoga]

Why does it feel like half of the commenters were fucking cheering out loud during the later parts of Usagi Drop

 

[MaCl0wSt]

Thanks for the chapter!

I would also not expect any bad guy to show.

I think it's a story about. Like repairing things that once been broken, or bonds in this case. Like kintsugi.

My theory is life simply got in the way of Kyou and MC. Her family broken up, she dropped out of school. With her more livelier outlook, she moved on and eventually met with Minori's dad. But once again, life happened, making Minori her last family member. For MC, with more brooding look, he also moved on somewhat (we saw him being productive in general: cooking, painting, making a living out of his craft), but still could not forget Kyou. Now both of them have the chance to mend their broken bond.
