Jitsu wa Imouto deshita. ~Saikin Dekita Giri no Otouto no Kyorikan ga Yatara Chikai Wake~ - Vol. 10 Ch. 47

I really love the idea of showing that family goes way past "blood connection". That's why I also don't understand the incest plot, which looks like we are going straight into, since the main alternative romance interest looks doomed. If you really see those people as your true family, even without blood ties (which is good imo), I don't understand how you can view your "step-sister" as a potential romantic interest. It's really strange to me, like if the story is telling me two contradictory things at the same time

+2. I do hope it just stays as a background gag and not really going serious.

Incest was never on the table for this one. Stepsisters are fair game.
...
Okay, I guess they COULD have had Ryouta's mom cheating with Akira's dad. Finding out your stepbrother that's actually your stepsister is actually-actually your half-sister would be incredibly novel!

It'd be some real telenovela shit, but... waves at current arc

Imouto wa Kanojo ni Dekinai no ni has a plotline that's pretty much what you described, and it's completely insane but definitely made the story more interesting.

What an utter peaky trash you're bringing up!

Technically the flashback you're referencing was in chapter 2. It starts on page 30, and the line you reference about not wanting kids is directly preceded by her saying "he said—" in the final panel of page 30, with the "that he didn't want kids" in the first panel of p.31.

So it is a complete thought, in-context, that leaves little room to interpret (assuming accurate translation).

You're right, chapter 2. My error there.
It continues, though. "He said that he didn't want kids, but Ryouta is my-" and gets cut off.

"But" is an important word, and every time I've been cut off at "but" it was people responding to something very different than what I was trying to say.


Knowing what we know now, emotions were running EXTREMELY high, even by the standards of divorces. They'd been trying to conceive another child so Ryouta would have a sibling, and then dad found out he's shooting blanks and never could've fathered ANY child. A whole bunch of stuff was going on all at once.
And Dad really likes being a dad, he's been raising this kid for years, and now he's being told it isn't even his kid the dumb rube, and the fight over fidelity and custody is all tangled up in a ball of sorrow and fury and regret. She left an opening to cut off any further argument about custody, and he thrust right into it.


I'm just saying that her but opens a lot of doors.

Oh dear god...

Damn, they made communication the protagonist of the story

 

[Inra002]

this chapter is so peak for now
so this left me wonder based on what happened in this chapter, is it possible a relationship to be considered as an "incest" even though they're not even related by blood?

 

[Bear2000]

That was a surprisingly great chapter. Thanks for the TL as always.
In my case, I think testing to see if he's compatible as a donor would be the right move. That little girl does not carry her parents' sins.
After which, I'd say he should distance himself from that entire family altogether. They're toxic scum, the child being the exception.

Up until the most recent chapters that's actually what I was thinking the twist was gonna be!

 

[rrrrrr333333]

"Now, my son. You know what to do, nakadashi Akira" now that would be cinema ✋😐🤚

 

[fuckface]

I didn’t read a single dialogue and just scrolled through it. What does it say

 

[RaiKaiser]

but to Akira... family means another thing too

 

[RaiKaiser]

Anyways, that was a beautiful end to this chapter. Hope all is well for Akira's dad, and I want this bullshit with his shitty parents to end. Sure I feel bad about the kid, but this started from them. Call it karma, but you get what you deserve. You abandon one, you might lose another.

I mean TECHNICALLY... Suzuka's not dead, yet!

Just a pure technicality...

 

[jojoka]

She shouldn't have be born in the first place

You can say that about Ryota too since the father is infertile.
The mentality of blaming normal kids from shitty parents isn't very healthy.

 

[NaDoan]

Make them pay for the surgery on akira’s dad or else the child can perish

I stand corrected!

What a day to be literate...

I was referring to the fact that AFTER Ryouta was born they dumped him because apparently one\both of them realized that didn't want to bother. So, AFTER you already dumped the first, why bother to generate the 2nd one? Ah ok, this time it'a cute loli, so she's fine
But yes, if the story had to sink into this shit, actually none of them all should really have been born, the world of manga would be just a tiny bit better place.

 

[Sarrano]

I honestly don’t know what to feel or say regarding his biological parents. I don’t disagree with what everyone says about them, although all I can say his biological sister is innocent. Whether they suffer or not I just want him to be happy and no longer concern himself with family dynamic. I’m glad he has a true father and mother instead. I hope he can finally be together with Akira and they can be happy together.
