Harapeko Oyako to Motokare Yanushi - Ch. 8

[Coldest1231312]

oyakodon is the true route,xd

have you read usagi masterpiece?

 

[Valve]

And yet you come back every time. Curious.

Yes because obviously we are only allowed to read things because we like and approve of every aspect of the stories.
If I see a murder story have to like murder to read it. If I see a harem story I have to want a harem to read it.

No, it should not be "curious" why someone would read a story without approving of all the things in it.
Unless you're just extremely bored I guess.

man, who hurt you guys? :,)

 

[MaCl0wSt]

Thanks for the chapter!

 

[EulBassist]

Thanks for the chapter!

 

[epicfail48]

man, who hurt you guys? :,)

For a lot of these people, most likely their mother

Can't say I blame the mothers, I wouldn't love em either

 

[Cirrius]

I just want to know about the father

 

[Lunkli]

She likes folding clothes? Well, I guess she'll be working at a clothing store or laundromat or something for the rest of your life.

 

[vannn]

Never heard of laundry nerds before. You might as well enjoy doing chores I guess.

I can’t wait for the eventual reveal and it’s shown they just went in different directions after school and broke up amicably, like most relationships at that age.

The day might come where the FMC gets NTRed by her daughter

I think our MC probably like our FMC for being that ditzy 17 years ago but wasn’t living together, and now they are living together the fantasy is starting to wear off because the troubles being a ditz bring doesn’t look cute anymore

Time for the comments

Right? I gotta go get my popcorn.

Am I missing something for why there's so much hate against this manga?

Chick is an idiot. She shows up at her childhood boyfriends house 17 years later outta nowhere with a child and selfishly asks to stay. She is very flawed.

Dude is lonely and was, even in the back of his mind, still in love with her. He selfishly agreed. He is also flawed.

Guess what? We're all flawed. Situations not too far off from these happen to human couples all the time. Heck, much worse things happen all the time. I can't even begin to recount people I've met or talked to who have been remarried several times or sometes even after decades.

This manga depicts, despite some typical manga tropes, a thing that could reasonably happen in society, then it puts a bit of a cozy spin on it. Why is this so divisive?

The way the mom was drawn, specifically her body when she was changing out of her wet clothes was a bit surprising. Her body, specifically her abdomen area isn't really how a lot of manga artists tend to depict their women
That's p neat

Everyone appreciates a bit of mom chub

Almost everyone who disliked it has left by now it seems. Sort of caught me by surprise that they'd be so worked up about it, but I think it's something to do with that it's kind of trendy to have a overreaction towards anything these days that can be interpreted as NTR or cuck stuff. For some reason NTR stuff has been really popular lately, and I guess some people try to insert talking about it in everything they can.
I have a suspicion that it's part of some culture war issue (NTR and cucking is seen as decadent by conservatives), and they want to blow it up to make a discussion about it. Sort of similar to people who made "cuck" threads about that 7th time reincarnation anime and made it a big deal how many times she'd slept with people during her reincarnations.
This is of course my suspicion, and I must admit it seems kind of weird that people would do these kinds of things here (essentially psyops). There's plenty of it on places like 4chan and reddit, but on forums like mangadex it doesn't really make a lot of sense to me. But you never know where things like this might spill out, and there's a snowballing effect (the initial people who started it on social media made other people bring it to other arenas). But still it is a possibility.
I'm honestly a bit tired of stuff like this, and I'm mostly trying to avoid reddit now because there's been so much of it lately. I had hoped it would simmer down after the election, but I guess not. 4chan is almost as bad if not worse.

Slowly but surely, here we are with chapter 8!

Once again, we are reminded that Kyou is mostly ineffective (when the baseline is toast+jam, do you really need someone else to handle it?). Nobody told Midori that acting like a tsundere isn't cute (especially not with your mother and his not-boyfriend not-friend), so she keeps behaving as if she has been wronged somehow (bonus points for: pretending to be reluctant about what SHE asked to do, making it sound like she is easing the mother's guilt indirectly throwing shade at Takaharu and actually doing the chore just because she likes it and not because she wants to be useful).

We finally get confirmation that Kyou was NOT paying for rent or utilities! As much as I'd like to make fun of her (and everyone who called me crazy for pointing out that she probably isn't paying), at least it seems like she was contributing to groceries (which is good, given how much she seems to eat XD) and the protagonist is once again more than happy to do anything for her, to the point he is sad that she is offering to share the expenses (I guess if they were married, he'd pay her for the privilege of living in his house ). She also offers to help with the chores, acting almost like an adult. The fact that she has to think to herself if she'd be any good at cleaning the bath or the toilet as if she isn't sure kind of worries me about how they lived before meeting Takaharu, but at this point her uselessness is well-established. In fact she has to (somehow) turn the shower on while helping with the laundry(?!) and gets soaking wet.

All in all, it's another filler, but it's also another step in the right direction. At the very least, Kyou is trying to act her age (even though she perpetually steps on rakes unforced), and an air of normalcy is slowly being introduced to the rather awkward premise. The fact that our protagonist sounds a bit sadder with each passing day seems to be the excuse for almost everything at this point, but at least it's consistent. Was he depressed for the last 17 years without Kyou? Who knows.

On the negative side, it seems like the comments are dying down, so no more funny chaos moving forward. Seeing how they were more entertaining than the actual manga to me, maybe I'll drop this, although I want to stick around a bit more to see how many rakes can Kyou collect (I also want to hear about her job, which seems to be the only aspect of her life where she is competent).

P.S. What's with mangas and making a big deal of keeping separated their respective laundry? That sounds brutally inefficient, it's just 3 people.

P.P.S.
What's with Midori dissing Takahara and saying that everyday is a day off for him? She doesn't even know what he does for a job exactly! Plus she goes to school, so it's not as if she'd know how much he works when she is absent. I don't get it.

 

[LuanOito]

I know it's a manga, but if he really wants to smash the MILF and, I don't know, marry her, it's stupid not to know about her situation, since he's going to be a stepfather eventually. What pisses me off is that we don't get any information about the child's father, and the MC doesn't question anything.

sometimes i really worry about what we have become as a society his ex came to him after 17 years and asked for help and people complain like you don't know what it's like to do good deeds because one day it might be luck for you just imagine after a while he gets married and they have a happy family, kitchen is full smell of oyakodon and they are lying nicely in bed after a night of pure romance then he wakes up to someone gently whispering in his ear "Darling i know it was tiring last night but it's time to work!" then his childhood friend comes in and tells her daughter and him wake up you two or the oyakodon won't taste good

I mean it's pretty normal to not reconnect with an ex lover after 17 years who also has kids. Single mothers do statistically get approached way less than just single women by men because men just naturally don't want to take responsibility for another man's child especially childless men, I'm sure it's easier for single fathers. Society hasn't degrated because this was never seen as normal. It's up to the individual if they can get over the hurdle of the instincts of not wanting to deal with a child that isn't your own product, this also doesn't mention the child too who also has to make an effort to connect with the new father figure which also statistically is a way lower chance than a biological child.

But even then the guy being interested in reconnecting not asking question about the kid just makes him look like a complete loser. I'm pretty sure most step-fathers want to be aware of the history of their step child because it makes it easier to connect with them.

Finally answered the question of the cost splitting huh. Still not a hint of story progress tho. Wonder if the father is a deadbeat or sth and will show up to try and take them back sometime to introduce some drama
