Fucking snipers man. 😑A much better translation, I had no idea what "he thinks he's some kind of assassin" was meant to mean as the most obvious example.
I agree but you also need to remember 2 thingsAh, finally we can discuss the chapter.
We still know nothing of the misterious older brother, the stepfather killed himself I guess?
The mother...oh boy, is hard to criticize her, I think the author overreached with this one, she is cartoonishly evil, it feels too out there, I think he could have delivered the same result with a bit more tact, you can have the mother who pins all her hope on her child becoming a superstar, I have seen it too, but to the point that they threaten to cut them up with a smile....eh........could/should have been delivered better.
Maybe is because the author doesn't want to dedicate too many chapters on this flashback and so is doing the mom a quick and dirty job?
i thought the suicide might have been the last kid she was forcing to act and suchAh, finally we can discuss the chapter.

Agreed. It's starting to feel like one of those mangas where there's no competent adults to be seen. Which I know it can be possible as there has been stories where parents would isolate their children from any one else and Japan's mentality of not my family not my problem can be a factor here but this seems like it's being cruel just for the sake of being cruel. Sugar happy life was definitely like that. Hopefully it gets better and we see some people with empathy who can help. I'm thinking this story may be similar to Boy's Abyss.I've already commented on the other translation so I'm gonna copy my comments for sake of discussion here.
Basically if a story is overloaded with shock value, at a certain point it is starting to get unbelievable. The fact that there isn't a single decent person in this series is starting to overstep the mark.
I hope it doesn't turns into another Sugar happy life. The fact that there wasn't a single decent person in the whole town got so ridiculous and unbelievable I couldn't take the shock scenes serious after the half point.
Ijimeru Yabai Yatsu at least went so far full blown over the top, the mangaka went with it and turned it into a bullying comedy. The first few chapters contain gore and torture for shock value and then suddenly we are reading about a Rube-goldberg-bullying-machine and other nonsense lol. Won't work with this series because it actually tries to stay serious and dramatic. We will see how well that's gonna work.
