Itoko no Ko - Vol. 1 Ch. 8 - My Cousins (Part 2)

Considering the tag, she won't.

Considering the mangakas Pixiv (specifically their R18 stuff) she won't.

Does the author have a foot fetish?

There has been exactly one chapter where the main girls feet wasn't featured. What do you think?

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[MRpaisan]

The thing is how does he feel about her. They were pretty close when they were younger, but he was gone for several years. Now he's back, and they both didn't recognize each other at first.

 

[newd]

The feet are back.

 

[Eighty-six]

We can never escape that legendary ending lmao

It's the genre of line a male lead in a romance shoujo manga would hit when he's styling on the heroine...

...except multidimensionally lamer.

I appreciate it, in a twisted way.

"I don't really mind it..." ~ right~!?

 

[Ironclad]

Shiori needs to improve her opsec.

 

[Akikako]

Elder sis likes good stuff

Can anyone quickly go over the Japanese law on this stuff to make sure we can sail this ship legally?

1 in 1000 marriages are cousin/cousin over there. Ship is 100% legal.

Waiting for the day when incest mangas will take over the the number of non-incest mangas( I am not even joking at this point)


I do not hate incest but it is getting overly used nowadays.

Don't worry, it just happens that this this particular writer has kind of a thing for cousin relationships. I mean literally look at their history on Mangadex, it's all one-shots about cousins and keeping the same last name is the punchline in two of them.

All of these comments and somehow no one pointed this out.

It's only weird if you make it weird, she'll grow out of it eventually.

...Or into it...

 

[Coldlight]

I wonder what's the deal with Sou's cousin Shiori. Is she like an out-of-control shipper... or perhaps a full-blown pervert who's secretly into the doubly forbidden shota x loli [sholicon] stuff.

If I'm getting this right, Shiori and Tsumugi are Sou's paternal-side cousins since their mom is her dad's older sister. But the way they talk to Nozomu is a little too... distant, I forgot already if this was stated in earlier chapters, but I wonder if Nozomu is Sou's cousin from her mother's side?

Or not. And that’s ok too

Aw fuck.

Well, it was the middle left panel on page 15. It's pretty much copy and pasted from that one scene in JoJo Part 3 where Joseph looks at Dio through the T.V., but he turns around with that exact pose.

 

[Victim_16]

I ship the siblings... Yeah, I love incest and I'm tired of hiding it!!!

I'm not 100% sure, but I think Nozomu's dad and Sou's dad are brother.
In ch 5, Sou's dad only said bro when referring to Nozomu's dad instead of bro-in-law.
Also in the pre serialization oneshot, Sou said their last name are the same. So, I think this is another evidence that Nozomu's dad and Sou's dad are brother.

The reason Tsumugi and Shiori felt distant might be because they are older.
As someone who only gets to meet my cousins at most once a year, I felt more awkward meeting them as I get older. Unlike kids who are more shameless about bothering people, the older I am the more I felt like I had to be careful before opening up to them.

Nozomu's dad, Sou's dad and Shiori's mom all being siblings is very possible. As is the simple reason they're just older cousins.

The reason I wondered if Nozomu is a maternal-side cousin of Sou, was because of how distant Shiori and Tsumugi were to him, which would be highly likely if they were Sou's cousins on different sides of her family, making Shiori and her brother just "cousins of my cousin" or "cousin-in-law" for Nozomu. I'm not close with any of my cousin's cousins on the other side of their family, who are basically strangers to me and technically not among my blood related relatives.

But if the pre-serialization is canon, then they're all blood-related relatives on Sou's paternal side and it would be as you say.

the cousin saying the way sou acts is not normal.. well it's pretty dang normal in my country haha it's just normal kiddo behavior. if these cousins weren't secretly into each other, there'd be no issue and no side-eye (although cousins dating is legal here, it's still seen to be kinda weird)
