You know, I expected this to be another generic romance about a generic guy who gets involved with a girl way out of his league through contrived means and has to fix all her problems, but while the main guy still looks incredibly generic, it's nice that he has a little bit of depth to him. Right now, the story is still leaning on the whole "I can fix her" angle, but I'm hoping it rebalances their dynamic soon. Then she can fix him too.

I'm struggling to sympathize with MC. I can sympathize with his trauma over his dad but the whole thing with his family just feels like him acting like a brat.

Like, here you have the heroine with an actually shitty family that despises her and then MC and his family are literally this:

It's pretty much matching a 1 LN chapter -> 1 manga chapter.

Now entering LN Vol. 2 material. If keeping to current pace, it practically covers that in 6-7 months. Wonder if there's any plans for a LN Vol. 3, considering Vol. 2 and the WN chapters it adapted are a bit of a thonk and got shat on since Kazemiya's issues with her mother were mostly solved "out of scene" by her sister thru causing the mother to have a mental breakdown

That's, arguably, the point. I mean, a large part of this chapter was him realizing that, for all he feels out of place, his family is a really good one and his discomfort doesn't really compare to what Kazemiya's putting up with.

He's also realizing pretty quickly that, despite their rules, he's quickly catching feelings for her and wants to do more for her than just be a shoulder to cry on.

And considering we've just passed the number of chapters you can count on one hand (unless you're Count Rugen, in which case, someone's looking for you), that's significant progress.

Tbf, he never said there's anything wrong with the family, just that he feels uncomfortable with them. That's his own issue that he needs to work through, but I think that's valid.

Thanks for the TL!x2

Both chapters were pretty good and this is an interesting development. On one side we have feeling out of place and a somewhat emotionally manipulative sister and the other is emotional abuse and negligence...

Damn

Yeah, exactly. I like how this story presents them as teens who don't know how to deal with their problems. They've tried escaping, or slacking. Now they're finding the motivation to grow, because they need to in order to help each other. That's pretty sweet.

How is this running away from home going to play out? He lives with his family and im pretty sure atleast his sister is in.
The lil sis will probably help out since she's been trying to improve the family dynamic with him.

His parents are also the caring type so chances are they will take her in as soon aa they learn of her situation

This, and specifically showing rather than telling for both the process and the results, which I'm sure makes it come across as a slow burn over trivial crap for many readers... but it's actually moving right along. The only thing I'm kinda "huh" over is just how many flags it's raised and how specifically it calls your attention to them. Especially if you're going to end on the introduction of the new drama rather than a cliffhanger over what it might be.

I know that her shirt says "Funny" but it's funnier to me to think that she's running around with one that says "Furry" instead.
Nope, the only thing in that bag she's carrying is a vacuum-sealed fursuit, and it's why her mom kicked her out. Mom doesn't hate furries, it's just a species incompatibility thing. obviously not really
