Thank you since some people couldn't understand last chapterHey guys! Just wanted to put in my 2 cents regarding the dad here. I want to clarify, and I don’t want to have people misunderstand what chap 8 was about with some context from chap 9. The dad only wants two things: let Miharu choose what he wants to do with his precious youth, and don’t let his children (the twins) interfere with his future. While he appreciates him because the twins are so close to him, he also sees them as a cause for his grades taking a hit because they’re taking up his time. If he can prove that that’s not the case, then the dad won’t be getting a babysitter. The dad doesn’t even necessarily care what his grades are per se as long as the twins don’t hold him back. He can do what he wants. He can live his high school years freely without any restrictions from his parents and without the twins. The main crux of this arc is Miharu deciding to stay with his twins and study without even considering the alternative as shown in chap 9. He decides to have his twins take up his youthful years out of love for them (which Mizudori sees).
So, is this good parenting from the dad’s POV? Well, I do agree that he could be better. But he means well and has no malice whatsoever. Why can’t he just stay home instead? It’s sometimes hard to see what’s really going on inside a culture if you’re someone from the outside looking in. These characters are a product of their culture and what we may see as abnormal may be less abnormal to other people. What I’m trying to say is that it’s so easy to judge without knowing the context or the whole story. I’m personally reserving judgement on the dad’s morals until I know more about him. Though, I do enjoy that the mangaka is self-aware that the parents have neglected these kids due to work and is trying to explore this idea.
What does the dad mean by “spoiled” at the end of chap 8? He meant that he has been going easy and laissez faire this past year regarding his parenting toward him since their families combined. Chap 8 was the first time (or maybe one of the few times) he has brought up an issue and really tried to lay it down. That’s what was being implied.
TLDR: dad wants Miharu to be free as a bird, but the twins are being heavy rocks on his back. He wants the best for him and wants these rocks removed but Miharu decides he wants these rocks and it’s okay for him. Dad is a good guy but is not perfect. His parenting has been laissez faire until chap 8.

Here's the issue: he was absolutely awful at conveying any of that to his stepson. He was great at telling his wife about it, but that's not especially helpful to Miharu, who clearly sees the situation as do-or-die.Hey guys! Just wanted to put in my 2 cents regarding the dad here.

sadly esp in a lot of asian housholds, both parents are workaholics, there are often times where parents are too busy trying to provide for their families thinking providing is the best thing for the kids, but the kids just want to spend time with their parents. ESP in cases like this where there is an older sibling, they get pushed all the parenting responsibilities. Yea does the neglect sucks, yes, but at least the mc is there and is much better than overworked parents taking their frustation on their kids. I think what ItsThatBriGuy said sums it up. Their not bad parents, they need to communicate better. The one thing I wanna know is that what about the twin's mom? Do we know anything about her, is she dead or not? why don't we see the mom or even MC's dad? idk if they say what happen, i don't rememberStill a shitty dad and mom... If they care so much, they can show up in their kids lives instead of being absent...
Wouldn't him improving his grades by studying prove the dad's point though? His grades were bad but once he ignored the kids and studied on his own he was able to improve and therefore the kids are getting in the way of his grades. I don't think that's what was intended but it kinda just proves how dumb this whole argument is. It honestly seems like the dad is trying to separate Miharu and the kids by using the excuse of giving him more "freedom" because he sees it Miharu wasting his youth. I feel like I'm misunderstanding the story but the dad was unnecessarily crypticHey guys! Just wanted to put in my 2 cents regarding the dad here.
