Hosomura-san and the Cat's Snack - Vol. 2 Ch. 14 - Hosomura Family's Mixed Chicken Rice

[thobong]

Having the altar at home was, in a way, nothing more than a way for her to make herself feel guilty over her mother and their relationship. In a way, she was living with her demons in full view of her everyday life.

You can imagine how hard it would be to even sort out your feelings with that staring at you. By moving it out and likely into a place she can choose to visit, Sachi is moving forward so she can handle her emotions and her life fully.

Thank you for your input, which makes a lot of sense. As an Asian, I am accustomed to seeing an altar in every household, and they have occasionally shown in manga/anime, so the thought of removing the in-house altar is unusual to me.

 

[Beregorn]

I love this manga so much. Thanks for translating it until the end!
Side note, was the passbook empty? Is the implication that her mom really did spend all the money?

Yes. But even if she didn't, it was like 220$

 

[Beregorn]

It's the opposite, actually. Her mom had to set it up, but if you look, every single line has "*", which means it was only ever deposited into, nothing was ever taken out of it. 33,000 yen is only around ~$230 USD, but her mom never took a yen out of what was meant for her.

I think it's quite the opposite: the last column is the standing balance, the guy kept putting money in it (albeit peanuts), and in the end she withdraw everything and closed it.

The last line of the book shows the remaining money in the account though? Nothing's been withdrawn and I don't see anything that implies it was closed, just that that was the last payment. But /shrug

the last line is the last movement, where the total was withdrawn, and the last column is what is left, aka 0

Sometimes, you just need another living being to help you move forward, human, animal or plant.

I'm pretty sure they mistranslated the columns of the passbook on that page. The first column is probably Payment/Debit, second Deposit/Credit, and third should be Balance. Thus, the final line shows that the total amount was paid/withdrawn and the resulting balance was 0. It's a bit confusing with the mixed up labeling, but it makes the most sense with how those books would normally look.
