I'm not sure of the particular point/plot progression of this chapter?
  • He's asked what they should get as a baby shower gift,
  • He waxes nostalgic about a fashionable baby wear company that also makes bags,
  • He looks up their product line, so surely they're going get one of those bags as a gift or something...
  • And then they just get babywipes?
Like, it feels like it's it's meant to be a joke, but it really doesn't land that way. :thonk:
I suppose it really does only make sense as a purposely anti-climatic joke, which would work as an ending, but like I said it doesn't quite land as a joke.

This entire manga is basically a series of advertisements. You were introduced to the brand, the products, how much they cost, and how stylish they are. If it got that point across, then the chapter "did its job." Granted we can't buy any of it outside of Japan so we only have the entertainment factor which is hit or miss...

Ahh sorry, I meant those (the bag n stuff). I'll leave it unedited to my own embarrassment lol.
Anyway, thanks for the chapter as usual.
Na.... that's 100% on me for not reading the 's after aunt. You are unequivocally vindicated and it's now my turn to sit in the corner of shame! Glad you're enjoying it though.

lol other than a specific website, looking up 'familiar' would be a pain online, unless typing it in katakana for JP google leads to the brand too

Technically, Sonomiya's the one who sent that message, idk if they each individually are still getting their own gift or all pitching in to send one from the team tho clothing aside, baby wipes and stuff would be practical

I hope we find out auntie and the old man know each other.

hasn't mc seen her from a distance tho? Unless she's just 'dressed down'/looks average outside of her gothic lolita outfit
