Itoko no Ko - Ch. 23 - My Cousin and the Storm

[Takuma_Aki]

Ok so everyone knows and everyone is fine with it. There was some inkling before, but I wasn’t sure if they were in denial, but no they all get it.

I tried to defend them last chapter or so ago... there goes anything I can defend them with...

I mean, cousin marriage isn’t illegal in Japan, hell it’s not even really frowned upon.

 

[havelmom]

she needs to cling more to him

Yeah it seems like its not a zero deal thing since the granddad asked if they were fine with how things were moving, but also not something to put a stop to if the two are interested in each other.

loooolllll mistaking bug bites for hickeys XD almost missed that detail

Well, that's true...
Still, I would feel like it'd be a bit more uncomfortable? Or maybe that's city and country people difference in perspective on this? As fellow Asian, I think I can see this happen in rural area of my country, too, I guess? But the more urban the area is, the more uncomfortable this will get also, I supposed?

I guess that might be it. I can see similar things play out in my country, too - the adults would encourage them to see someone outside of the family, but if they're distant enough and both of them interested in each other, the adults would probably not stop them - just don't get ahead of themselves.

This family is surprisingly progressive about those two;

just like in the old days more baby making means more kids to help work on the farm

 

[ShEEeshAlert1]

It's great to see Sou-chan being so aggressive. I hope we can see more development between these two.
Let's pick up the pace!

Page 5 probably has the most violent word-stab I’ve seen in manga.

They need to start doing some family planning, or Sou's gonna end up in a family way.

Sou seriously grew a full-on sword blade out of her word bubble and stabbed her dad in the head with it. 😅

My man, I’m pretty sure it isn’t illegal in most parts of Asia and Europe talk less Japan. Those birth rates aren’t going to fix themselves

 

[twinklecake]

Yeah we got a family friend from a distant village who got arranged-married to her cousin and has two kids with him. It's pretty weird to us city folk and makes things awkward if it's even brought up. Eventually you stop bringing it up even in your own brain and just treat them as you would a normal family.

Different country and circumstances, but maybe there are some commonalities with Japan? Those guys have weird little spots in their culture considering how advanced they are as a country. They're supposed to be illegal in South Korea, for example.

While the romance is great, I think we just got a small glimpse why Nozomu got sent to the countryside...

 

[Netik765]

Glad it's back, thanks for the chapter <3

 

[Kippithekappamancer]

Shinzo Abe approves.

 

[PrivacyInvader]

I'm more curious about what happened to him at school. Did he catch a teacher catching a case or something and fought the dude?

 

[principeinquisidor]

Kek, Sou mother going full "You're still too young to become a mom and I'm still too young to become a grandma".

As a Florida resident, you can never be too prepared for storms. Be sure to fill up your tank early when the storm is sighted, and get water as well. You can pick up your Publix subs the day before however 😉
