Horimiya - Vol. 5 Ch. 28 - Full

[ProfessorNeet]

very wholesome, also did she hit toru with a thunder cross split attack?

 

[definitionofinsanity]

Well, technically, you got upset because of your father's stupid comment and Miyamura settled it...

 

[FluffyRiceBunny]

What a great boyfriend! Having your Dad calling you fat/telling you you’ve put weight on can really take a toll on you 🤦🏽‍♀️

 

[LeoTomson]

To those who think she did it because Kyosuke thinks she gained weight:
Hori clearly states that she did it because she did not want to be the same weight as her boyfriend. It's not a matter of being fat.

 

[Wind1]

Damn, smooth again.

 

[Papah]

Poor Dad, always getting bullied.

they need to stop bullying dad, it was funny for like 3 chapters but now I just feel sorry for him

 

[suikaemi]

This was another thing I recall people getting mad about in comments elsewhere. The jokes about the dad being neglected and forgotten all the time. But I mean, he married someone who does stuff like that. He's probably not that bothered by this sort of display of affection.

Shit, the entire family does it to him, not just his wife. If even the little kid treats him coldly, I think he has a problem. To be fair, I'm pretty sure it's because he's almost never been home except for a few periods ever since each of them were born. At least the mom has actually lived there the whole time, she just works most days. But the dad? He's gone for years and shows back up like he belongs despite said absence. I mean, I'm not gonna say it's not his family, but if his work forces him to live away from his family for whole spans of years at a time, he shouldn't be surprised that they get used to him not being there and act like he's overstaying his welcome if he's home for too long.

I get the impression this has been the longest he's been home in a very, very long time. And, to be honest, they've gotten along relatively well without him, all things considered. He seems to just be sticking around this time because of Miyamura.

To be honest, mother and mostly dad fault is why Hori is such a depresso' expresso' on the inside by hiding the fact she is basically a mom to Souta and has to skip basic teenager stuff to take care of home.

If you have a kid, do at least basic things, make them do basic kid stuff, growing up won't be regained later fully no matter how you try.
Some say "it grow character" and "making you responsible" but early years is crucial for proper development.

This reminds me of one of my ex, got very anxious about weight due to father/mother/friends nitpicking but being fine within BMI actually, took some time to get over with it (story is just a speed run after all) by constant reassuring that it's okay and increasing overall self esteem.

Izumi is really a husband material.

I can attest to neglect being shit. I grew up with my parents home a fair bit, but that didn't mean they were actually present in my life outside of 'punishing' me for things, for the most part. Pretty sure it was mostly the same for my sisters, and they didn't turn out much better than me, but with different scars as they found their own ways of coping.

I ended up pretty socially inept for a good chunk of my life, I feel, and only managed to get my first girlfriend in my late 20s. She was a young woman I had interacted with online, with a few moments of meeting her in person, as a friend for several years. Most of my strongest connections have formed online with others, and I only ever really interacted with classmates at school, virtually never outside of it.

Body image stuff is another thing I've dealt with for that same girlfriend I mentioned. She was actually a bit overweight, though, but not to a point that I thought it was bad, personally. She had far worse issues than her weight, though, and she would get professional help for that, and I tried to be there for her otherwise as an emotional support, despite my own issues I was being oblivious about at the time.

I'm getting the help, now, though, but still so much time it took for me to get to this point.

Similar, more "boss level" than in this story. Parents away 17/7 only at night, choirs from the get go (luckily no siblings to take care of but making meals, cleaning etc takes off plenty of time so no activities) no time after school and with no friends since The Bullying™ happening throughout education...
Well, I'm capable to do all things from taking care of house but missed a lot out of basic stuff that mostly get to know from stories like these... Yay

Hug your little cinnamon roll extra strong my man, keep doing it, never stop.
