Harapeko Oyako to Motokare Yanushi - Ch. 4

[Superpeanut]

The comments are honestly weirding me out. I totally get someone not wanting to be taken advantage of, but on the other side of that coin… it’s this dude’s life. He’s supposed to be early 30’s, and clearly isn’t being “tricked”. He shows more awareness of the situation than either the mother or the daughter.

So, who cares? If the dude wants to help someone, then that’s that. It’s his choice to do so, he isn’t being “forced” by this woman and her kid. We all know this will likely be a romance story but even if it was just a pleasant friendship then that’s not a bad reason to have people around. A lot of the world outside of the USA has mixed-family homes.

TL;DR I don’t feel like I understand the vitriol people have against the guy, or the mother. If he wants to help someone, that shouldn’t be a big deal. It’s his life.

Only spaghetti and ketchup would be a bit much, but spaghetti with ketchup and a few fried/cooked eggs makes a very filling low-budget meal...

Or add a little cheese and it's a full meal too

He's giving a place to stay to his ex he hasn't seen in 17 years and her daughter.
Sure MC not being more curious about this whole situation and giving the ok pretty much immediately is unrealistic but the people going on about NTR, "cuck" etc sure are something....
He's just letting them stay temporarily until they find something else. Maybe chill a little.
And even if he was to let them stay indefinitely (which is very likely) cause he liked the company for example, that's fine too.

I mean honestly, if I had someone I knew really well from high school just show up at my place, with their kid, and ask to stay… I might say yes just to see what the crap was going on. Like, it’s so out of left-field that I’d want to let it play out and hear what’s going on lol. If I didn’t think they were a danger, nor did they seem to be trying to trick me, then yeah. Why not. There’s a spare bedroom upstairs. This will make for a good story to tell at work.

They're a bunch of fucked up losers dawg, nothing to really understand. The idea that he may be using his RESOURCES to SHELTER A FEMALE who has ALREADY REPRODUCED WITH ANOTHER MALE is somehow triggering them to act like some sort of orc and scream about being cucked. A nice story about an old flame showing up and the two of you restarting your lives together even though lots of time has passed and things have happened? No can do, bud. That's cuckoldry and abuse and she's taking advantage of him the way all women do.

If they had the courage, they wouldn't be here anymore. But they don't. So we get to read their thoughts.

I've never seen people this upset about a slice of life manga, it's kinda scary

Oyakodon vibes caused it.
Many still will not nor will forgive Usagi Drop manga.

It is a breach of trust between a parent and a child.

This manga would be way more wholesome if the mom, I don't know, did it for a better reason. If she did this because she liked the guy all along and this was her backward way of trying to hook up with him, maybe the manga wouldn't be so divisive. So far, there is no inkling of those feelings and it just looks like she is using him.

Daughter package is a big minus considering the cases of these in Japan. Well even in reported.

That's me when i found femboy H, no homo tho i only like it in manga not RL

RL rapes you in one glance FR.

🍿
Hope he actually got the ball to kick them out

The fried mash potatoes is a reflection of his patience.

This manga has to have the most controversial comments section out of all the manga here

I think they are assuming too much just from the fact that they broke up

 

[Stezargit]

I really hope the author fleshes out their past and relationship in the next few chapters

People deffending the mom like she isn't leeching of the dude conveniently ignoring that they don't have any contact for 17 years which is pretty much half of his life and there is NO confirmation she's helping with money, cuz at least with chores we know she isn't doing shit
Even her daughter is more of a help than her, at least the dude pretended to put some limits to that lazyass mf though it's obvious he is too much of a pushover to actually make her cook her own food

 

[bourbonil]

The amount of incel salt in this comment section is enough to turn a whole herd into jerky, holy shit. If you dislike the premise so much, go read something else.

 

[Soliquidsnake]

You as the adult you are of course chose to shame or insult them when their opinion differ from yours, of course. That's called being a hypocrite.

Supposedly adults who place themselves in higher moral grounds to demerit other people's opinions are no better than those "children" to be real.

I guess there is no “higher moral” ground than to call her a “bitch” and a “whore” and to say that the MC should groom the daughter, I suppose. Those are the people I’m talking about and those are the people you are defending. Get real and grow up.

 

[Soliquidsnake]

Good for you. Be grateful to have parents that coddled and sheltered you from the harsh realities of the world.

What a brain dead assumption to make just because things are different from your own perception of things.

you’re confusing defending the mom with treating her like a human being. All it takes is to read a few comments in here to see how some people take things way too far. The mom has plenty of baggage and is doing wrong, that doesn’t mean that people are free to dehumanize her.

 

[FloorRoof]

I like how there's a mixture of cuck comments and cook comments here.

 

[INBERUN]

Ok so she is basically a parasite who left him - find another dude, then bang, got a child and come back after 17 years!!! To eat for free and don't searching for home.....
If u read u can see she called him Heartless as a "joke" but ma'am.. who rly is heartless here?

 

[Tonikill1]

cuckkkkkkk

 

[lowarctic]

this series is pretty cute but the comment section is a dumpster fire of weird incels and insecure people

why even read this if you can’t handle step-parenting
