Itoko no Ko - Ch. 21 - My cousin and her grandfather

[Darklight99]

Ok so it's made clear, the two dads know that their children are in love and are not going to do anything about it.

THE GRANDPA AND THE PARENT ALREADY KNOW IT ALL THIS TIME?!??!???

Everyone but that one sibling duo is in on the agenda.

 

[Tcof]

Wow wow wow. Can't believe they address the elephant in the room, this make it explicit that the family knew

I do wonder like, what can you even do as the family in this kind of situation? Assuming you want to be generally positive and supportive family, stuff like completely separating them seems kind of cruel, and it's not like either of them are really old enough to fully grasp a frank discussion. Being concerned is obviously reasonable, taking action that doesn't backfire or do some harm seems a lot more difficult.

Cousins can legally marry in Japan, they'll be fine.

 

[Iratana]

Yeah Grandpa, they know and they're not worried about it. In fact they secretly support it and have been making plans to subtly enforce it, such as having Nozomu stay there even after summer ends. This is all going according to their plans.

Grandpa probably thinks that it's just puppy love from Sou and she will grow out of it in a year or two.

After all, how many tween crushes, develop into something serious?

Anyway, if it's any consolation, we have an ample body of historical evidence that a one-off pairing between two related, but genetically diverse individuals does not necessarily have any deleterious effects and will almost certainly produce healthy offspring. It's only when the practice is maintained down multiple generations that the effects become obvious.

Thank you noble houses of Europe for your scientific contribution and fuck you for absolutely everything else.

Still they should watch over them to make sure they don't cross any lines they are too young to cross, for one I don't think they should be allowed to live together, specially if it's meant to last more than a year.

Cousins being in a relationship isn't illegal or controversial in most of the world, Japan included.

Yeah, the adults are probably being careful in how they approach this. Children won't understand adult circumstances, it'll just make things awkward if they're told off sternly so they play it off as Sou still being childish. And even if cousins can legally marry each other it's still not an everyday occurrence, and it's happening way less than it was before.

fuck off grandpa lul

 

[Weaktype332]

Grandpa wants to keep the bloodline pure

 

[Amazing_Retard]

I dont think the granpa supports it? or is it just me. To me it seems like he is warning his sons.

Because they are still kids, they usually grow out of it. How parents deal with it to each to their own but as long as they are under their watch they can't go too far.

Atp the family tree is gonna be a circle

 

[mukiex]

What Sou-chan said vs What I understood (Warning spoilers if you havent read the chapter yet)

Now im very curious how they are all going to react now.

I mean, author's got at least 2 one-shots that end in a joke about cousins not changing last names after marriage so.... yeah, I'm pretty sure we're on that path

 

[Wakipai]

I would x21. Hell yeah Gramps knows!

 

[banzaidrop]

Granpa so based holyshit

 

[AbuHajaar]

THE BLOODLINE MUST BE KEPT PURE
