Sure may as well have her being born on a toilet, but did she really? for those cases which do happen the baby is usually abandoned, however her mother keep her and even registered her birth

And that just doesn't tracks for toilet babies, who either die or end up in the care of the state

This manga is wacky enough for her story to be real, but the narrator is also a master manipulator

I wouldn't believe you bout the whole toilet baby under normal circumstances if I hadn't once read a story a while back of a mother who gave birth in a restroom and then threw the poor soul into a trashcan.

uuh so this is usually happened when someone tried to hide their pregnancy and didn't check up regulary and don't know the delivery date
sometimes there's rare case they didn't know they were pregnant(their body isn't showing either) and it happened when they thought they got stomach ache and goes to toilet

Miyu won over Yuushin's mother. I shouldn't be surprised, yet I am surprised.

It would be easier for Yuushin to just say that he and Miyu are dating.

https://www.news18.com/news/buzz/uk...ives-birth-to-baby-in-27-seconds-3715820.html Toilet babies can be born to loving capable parents. Miyu-chan's mom wasn't exactly loving, or particularly capable, but she didn't completely abandon Miyu.

So the real Miyu's dad is in on it, makes sense.

If law enforcement finds a dead baby, they're going to open up a homicide investigation and potentially find the mother who left their child to die. That aside, even if her mother was negligent enough to not keep up with her due date and give birth to her in a toilet, it takes a special kind of psychopathy past that to leave a newborn child-- and especially your newborn child-- to die.

This weirdly feels like a Yakuza Plot Line, or maybe Judge Eyes is a closer fit. But it’s that combo of really dark moments perpetuated with lots of light hearted comedy.
It isn’t black comedy per se, it’s legit lighter hearted comedy mixed with darker moments and finding that balance is very “Yakuza” in my mind, that series does a great job balancing those two, and I really enjoy it here too.

Yeah but those are cases for really overweight women, and the image shown of Miyu's mom didn't seem to be the case, if she couldn't keep track of her pregnancy chances are higher on her not actually caring about being pregnant having given up on getting an abortion, rather than her not knowing that she was pregnant

I was thinking about maybe if she was a heavy drug user that could lead to a situation in which she accidentally ended up giving birth on a toilet, but this story takes place in Japan, and fake Miyu's mom would have gotten arrested for drug use when making the birth registry, because there's no way that woman remains sober or functional in her day to day, in fact it is super odd that she has a birth registry at all if her mom was that bad

I don't consider the first case to be a toilet baby, toilet babies are just an unfortunate common term for newborn abandonment

The informal term refers not to the act of accidentally giving birth on a toilet, but to the act of abandoning the baby on a toilet because it is easy for women with an unwanted pregnancy to go into labor in a secluded space and leave the baby there

A different but also sadly common example in Japan is the unfortunate trend that started in the 70s and which continues to this day (last public known case being 2022) of abandoning babies on coin operated lockers

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coin-operated-locker_babies

My point thus is that given the appearance of of Miyu's mom, she doesn't looks like the kind of woman that would keep her baby after haven given birth to it on a toilet, when the trend for such cases is for the baby to end up being abandoned or dying, even less for her to then take the baby and register it at a later date

If law enforcement finds a dead baby, they're going to open up a homicide investigation and potentially find the mother who left their child to die. That aside, even if her mother was negligent enough to not keep up with her due date and give birth to her in a toilet, it takes a special kind of psychopathy past that to leave a newborn child-- and especially your newborn child-- to die.

That's under the assumption that they recognize the child as theirs, just ending pregnant doesn't means that a bond is made between a woman and the baby, becoming a mother takes a lot of effort and will

Even for women who want to have kids, they will suffer post postpartum depression, and for weeks feel conflicted about whether or not they actually love their baby

If we add to this rape victims, underage pregnancies, as well as unplanned pregnancies, the cases of women abandoning babies after giving birth grow all the more, specially with the increased global trend of antiabortion laws being passed, i don't see that as an example of psychopathy at all

On the contrary i think the idea of forcing someone that doesn't wants to have a baby, and who clearly is not showing any disposition to care for a baby, to fulfill a pregnancy and then raise a kid against their will, and ruining 2 entire lives in the process, as a more proper example of psychopathic behavior

Last chapter Yuushin was still wearing his school uniform, so the author made him change into that weird T-shirt for no reason but to make his mother acknowledge its weirdness as well? :question:
Yuushin knew Miyu was gonna try to steal his mom so he wore the shirt to remind mommy dearest who her biological child was in the face of Miyu's full-court charm press.

Either that or he's just such a raging mothercon that he wears T-shirts obliquely referencing his Oedipus complex under his uniform every day.

Yuushin's such a giant fuckin' weirdo I wouldn't put either possibility past him.

Yeah that shirt is really weird. Considering the premise of the manga, it legit makes me question whether she is actually his mother.
