Harapeko Oyako to Motokare Yanushi - Ch. 4

[GrumpyGizmo]

She's being kinda lazy, that's all. It's not like she's selling his kidney on the black market. Calm the fuck down

No you calm the fuck down mf. I wasn't talking to you and that's not even the point.

 

[GrumpyGizmo]

Compared to what I expected from reading the comments, yeah, is basically nothing, she barely appeared in the chapter and it was just a nothing joke about she staying in the home to eat MC cooking that MC counter by telling that if she didn't find a place he will stop cooking for her.

Relatively sure. Objectively no, because in fact she just brushed it off and that would not be "doing nothing wrong". It's a matter of perspectives.

Actually not a bad chapter. Other than the mom's annoying presence and behavior, the daughter and dude cooking together was wholesomely SoL. Dude also told the mom off on her hidden expectation to stay there forever. As long as i can ignore the mom and the hidden background story, this thing not that bad.

I dunno why I am typing this but romance novel that featuring pregnant heroine or with children pair with hot stud sell really well in my country.

I guess woman also need wish fulfillment in their fiction.
Sorry for my rambling. I guess I will go and find new romcom slop to consume now.

i got a feeling the mom is going to abandon her kid and leave him to deal with her while she goes and chases some money

No it makes sense. Reminds me of the women on tiktok, fb, etc. Demanding 1.90m tall fit men with handsome face and good job but they are some 1.50M tall 200pound blobs with kids and no education or jobs.

Of course these stories will sell.

I guess. She isn't exactly the best guest to have, but compared to the image that coments painted, when I read the thing and noticed that she barely was in the chapter I felt like wasn't that big of a deal since it was just some gimmicky comedy troupe that barely had any relevance to chapter besides showing the daughter that the mom is happy

Problem is this was her daughter's chapter. With just her and the MC cooking the chapter was actually wholesome, chill and interesting. But the mom ruined by showing the same negligent attitude.

 

[Iwashiii]

I read the comments before reading the chapter and thought the mom did some really fucked up thing, then I read the chapter and basically nothing happened

Just weebs being angry over nothing, lmao.
No, like seriously. How much of a basement dweller does one have to be to think this is cuck/ntr. 🤣

Christ, people need to grow the fuck up. Everyone thinks he's being spineless letting her move in with him, but even the story itself is pointing out that yeah, it's a bit of a concerning set of circumstances that he needs to be careful navigating. His friend even outright told him, just last chapter, to make sure he isn't being taken advantage of.

Setting aside what is clearly meant to be a plot point that develops and/or comes back around in the future, the chapters establish that she's out there actively working a job. Which means she is presumably doing her share while living under his roof. And as this chapter has just revealed, even before their apartment got wrecked she was working herself well past what is healthy, coming home half-dead with instant dinner. Why?

Oh I dunno maybe it has something to do with providing for her daughter as a single mother.

We don't know all the details. We don't know why she chose to go to him after seven years apart. That's called telling a story. We will eventually learn more as the story and the characters develop. But she clearly has a job, and she is clearly working to provide for her daughter. So she isn't some scumfuck freeloader living at his house doing absolutely nothing.

So many manga out there- hell, so many works of fiction in general- focusing on the importance of kindness and empathy and helping your fellow man, and yet people scorn this manga and its MC for daring to open up his house and home to a person in need. Y'all really need to reconsider the media and/or people you're surrounding yourself with if this is what sets you off.

Let's be realistic here. If an acquaintance I haven't met for 17 years asked me to stay at my place all of a sudden, I would've pointed them out to the nearest homeless shelter. Now, that's a different story if it were family and friends though, but acquaintances can manage themselves in homeless shelters.

Since manga a wack anyway, imma add wack theories.

1. MC and the mom are actually blood related siblings separated by parents divorce. Inbreeding are risky, but they're too much in incestuous love they refused to touch on the subject of them being siblings. Ahh abeautifulabama forbidden love 😚😆

2. Daughter are adopted from relatives. Boring but safe 😞

3. NTR but not really 😵

 

[AmericanJedi]

To all the people getting so uptight and fuming over this manga. I recommend therapy over reading this.

I made a friend stay and all the pocket changes disappeared in a day. I wonder why.

Cuccing is so common in Japan they don't touch the issue.

Find better friends, bro...

Don't mind me just sighing to this dude. the mom should tell him something about her daughter like who is her real father. If the mom sleeps a lot with a bunch of men after they broke up, well.....

 

[Soliquidsnake]

Damn these comments are going wild on the "scum wamen and cuck mc" but like... sometimes shit doesn't work out the first time y'know? You ever heard the expression "right person, wrong time", because that's what (I think) is going on here.

My uncle got back with his ex after like an eight year seperation. They both had another kid with different people in that time so now they have four altogether. They're mature enough now to make it work. What's wrong with that?
The only difference here is that she's on hard times, and he's not. So that seems to speak to some revenge-hungry part of the population that thinks that if a woman had sex with you they owe it to you to not stop having sex with you ever. But like... in real life? People break up for all kinds of reasons dude. It's ok.
She's a little ditzy, but there is not nearly enough evidence to drop into calling her character a horrible person. Like, give it a minute to cook.

I fully agree with your comment…. But. My brother/sister, you are talking to a bunch of terminally online folks who are probably still in grade school and have no real life experience.

I just wish THAT mom is working on a Takoyaki store.... but I know this mom is working at "THAT" shop.

I guess the MC not toying around with phones and not using apps helps a LOT.
