Mama's just waiting for her knight in shining armor klutzy but well-meaning doofus to come around and wake her up?
Kinda feels like a rug-pull to set up Mama as a tragic backstory and then have it just be an OSHA thing, but I was also worried a super dark story would spoil the fluff, so I am 100% with this development

Buchita is just a complete tsundere. You'll see this explained next chapter, but basically nobody in this manga is actually a bad person, it's just warm fuzzies all around with some weak fakeouts. Just assume it'll all be happy and they'll all eat delicious food.
Sadly, she has a lot of 'is dead' imagery, like that photo style and he disappearing like a ghost from his dream. But mostly, in Chapter 1 page 24 Wasuke actually says she's dead (rest in peace). So this manga is a little prone to misdirection (like with Mama. or Buchita's motives), but I don't think he'd be evil enough to do a Marvel style 'oh she's actually alive!' after explicitly saying she's dead.
And now I'm suddenly remembering an old movie called 'Soap' where some soap opera writers had to bring back a character who had previously been decapitated 😹
