We shame alabama for being alabama but this makes me see that they are winning in life.

I kinda hope for this kind of childhood too.

Thanks for the new chapters, Osis & RedHairedAnon! What a holiday treat!

I think the thunder chapter is really cute and true to the innocence and interest of these characters, and I think her parents are reacting realistically given that cousin relationships are legal just sometimes frowned upon in Japan. Especially in the sticks, it's more common and less pressured about.

I like the idol sister bonus chapter too, but I'll take main story content anyday over the side characters. The main kids are too cute together!

I appreciate that the adults aren't shaming ostracising the kids for their very human feelings / explorations / connections.

The mom/aunt here is doing the responsible thing and trying to firmly establish the familial relationship while also accepting Nozomu as one them. She's not rejecting him or treating him like a monster but is trying to guide them to a healthy sibling-like relationship.

That doesn't mean I'm not a shipper on deck here - I think Sou and Nozomu have got a very cute and innocent relationship that could blossom into something more and real. I think the parents could be major obstacles for that if the story fully commits there. But as is this is what a responsible parent who notices what's going on would and should do in the situation. Even though cousin relationships are legal, and even if they end up having a healthy and lasting romance in the future, they've got fused family boundaries, and they're both very much minors without the full comprehension of the risks and challenges that might face them in these situations. Should their relationship break down, it could tear the family apart, and it could lead Nozomu to have to find another home and school etc.

While the author themself is very much a shipper on deck here (esp. re: their own NSFW doujins of the work), they're treating this budding romance with realism and maturity that we rarely get in the genre. Major respect!

Why is that official translations always rename the manga to something stupid?
It's in-vogue to have titles longer than anyone can remember.

It also is a bit more descriptive than just "My Cousin" and may lead to more sales than a title that sounds like a possible Hentai title. This altered title plays up the youthfulness of the characters and also tries to fit it in "femdom love interest for a semireluctant sub protagonist" genre that's popular nowadays – i.e., "Don't Tease Me, Nagatoro-san", "Please Go Home, Miss Akusa", "Please Put Them On Takamine-San", etc.

I dunno. I have far less problems with the whole cousin aspect of it than I do the loli aspect. First-cousin marriages/romances are actually legal in about half of the U.S. but this loli shit is just fucking cringe. She's 11 years old for Chrissake. Can't believe this is getting an official English release. 😬

I think it would be different if he wasn't essentially her age too. They're both kids, and it's a story of young romance.
Now, if this was a hentai, then yeah, I'd have issues with it. As it stands, it actually seems to be exploring these issues in a nuanced way. I do wish I wasn't seeing the mangaka's foot-fetish though. I think the story would stand just fine without the gazy-ness of it.

Is it just me, or was this chapter 28's scenario previously its own stand-alone comic by Inuchiku?

I swear I remember a comic with the cow outfit featuring these characters. Maybe it was a doujin by the author that has been repurposed and integrated into the story? EDIT: It totally was! It's a One-Shot from 2021. That version has Sou in the costume, though. https://mangadex.org/title/e86b4c59-058f-4605-a8c8-39beda8216e6/milking

Also, Chapter 26.5 clearly happens either after Chapter 28 or between Chapters 25 and 26… 26-27-28 tell an ongoing arc, which got me confused by the timeline because of it being cut up by the mom's concern about their possible budding romance.

I'm still bothered by this [Incest] tag. It's not incest for Japanese to marry cousin, cultural-wise.

And it's legal in many states in the US. That doesn't mean it's not frowned upon, and the adult family members in this manga are seemingly worried about their "too-close" relationship, meaning that even for the target audience in Japan, this is playing with the taboo and its difficult rammifications (i.e., could have spillover harm onto other family members, esp if there's a bad-breakup later on). So Incest tag is entirely appropriate, even though it's legal and LESS frowned upon in Japan than it is in many other parts of the world for cousins to marry.
