6 chapters and the series is already in danger of losing its focus. Last chapter was a flashback and now we're back to after chapter 4. Last chapter had multiple "lucky pervert" moments and this chapter was slice-of-life with almost no development between Nozomu and Sou. I feel this chapter, like the last chapter, is also straying from what made the first 4 chapters enjoyable only in the complete opposite direction this time. I DID like chapters 5 and 6, I just don't feel like they're keeping with the tone and style of the first 4 chapters. There's a bit of a disconnect here. Hoping next chapter gets back on track.

Ah. Sweet nostalgia. No cousin feet this time, but she IS wearing shoes today.

I really hope the cousins are the endgame here. I already got burned by that other cousin-in-the-countryside manga, cute as it was.
Well, she DID say that her plan was to make him fall in love with her.
Which other cousin in the country side manga were you talking about?

Most likely yes, since almost every story this author does is about cousins.

Examples;

Milking Cousins
Paternal Cousins

That and the R-18 Pixiv page they have, which DO have sex scenes drawn for these 2.

Though I should warn you, they are NOT aged up for the sex scenes...

They are the same age as you see them now in the story.

Click the author's name here on mangadex for the link.

Damn... This is so relatable. I remember there was a restaurant I always frequent... They had the best fried noodles and there was an auntie there who was so nice to all of us. As I became a teenager I could finally go by myself without needing my parents bring me. What I didn't realize was that the customers were getting less and less. Then when I came back home from college for a break after a year, suddenly that place is now bar...

Maaaan, give it time ahah! World building and seeing how the characters interact in nostalgic situations, such as with the Granny, is development in a way!
Sure, we all expected them to act this way, but seeing them go and do it is still good.

If you want proof of what I say look no further than Aka Akasaka’s work on Kaguya-sama, where at the beginning it was roughly 1/2 plot and 1/2 world building, and all that would building really paid off in the end!
