Ok, so I sure hope Taya shows his dad and brother her spidery stuff as evidence that he hasn’t just been crazy, and him seeing his mums ghost is just one of many supernatural phenomena that do genuinely exist.

death is a hard subject to handle. I've had to go through it 3 separate times in the same year. first my friend, then my mother's twin sister, and then my great grandmother.

it was dark times, but eventually you learn to accept the pain and move on. You can't cling to the past forever

 

[froggy56]

This is just pure pain

 

[ShadowSilence]

Was anyone else under the impression that he knew she was a ghost? Because now I'm surprised and also sad

This all started as some fringe fantasy about a guy in a relationship with a literal spider monster girl. Now it's become very interesting indeed with a bunch of unexpected twists and turns. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if one day this gets an anime adaptation. I just hope the mangaka realizes he's onto something potentially special and leverages all the side plots and characters effectively in the future.

Looks like the author reworked his original idea for the ending into the plot line of this story arc. Man, am I glad that the manga didn't end like this...

Edit: I see I am getting a lot of confused reactions. The author said on Twitter/x that his original plan for the story was for the MC to realize that his spider GF was actually a figment of his imagination. Then the story ends with her disappearing and him going about his life. Then the series got extremely popular, and the author realized that the ending sucked, and decided to keep going with introducing more yokai creatures.

That would be a shit ending, glad he reconsidered even if it may have been for commercial reasons in light of this being their most popular work by far.

When your mom's ghost is like "nah, they're telling the truth".

Surprised Taya hasn't said anything yet.

If Taya saying the same thing about Haru's mother, it will be unbearably painful for him to accept the reality because what Haru saw is his Mom's ghost, not a real person.

Thats why she wont answer or talk about his mother because she dont want to hurt his feeling about his mom is already dead long time ago. Sometimes the best answer is silent/no answer to avoid unneccessary topic.

 

[Baddtraxx]

This hits home. Too close.
Fucking crying...

 

[CaptainJudaism]

I know people handle trauma differently but I can't help but find it a bit amusing that the guy marrying a spider-demon, whose best friend is dating a giant mantis, who has a Makima ghost chilling in his fridge, and is familiar with the Neko-Arc omnipresent person is taken by surprise that his mother is a ghost.

Skeletor: "WAT"

 

[LupusVir]

I wonder if she stayed because her son could see her and didn't want to pain him more. Now that the truth is known, she can move onto what is next.

On the other hand, maybe if his family spends more time around Taya, they will also be able to see her.

 

[SoniaPhos]

It makes me wonder if it's actually her ghost (or if it's a hallucination).

Also makes sense that she can't talk. I thought her throat was damaged at first.

Damn, that ending would truly suck.
To begin with, considering MC wanted to kill himself at the beginning. Kaya being a fragment of his imagination would be then like his subconcious desire of keep on living. Ngl, there would some sort of nice but weird bittersweet feeling about hope and finding a reason to live even when things feel terrible, which would be interesting... But it would also be depressing to see MC loving his girlfriend so much just to discover she was fake.
Like FUCK, imagine current subplot with that version. MC would have an imaginary pregnant wife... thats sad as fuck.

Man, I can't believe Haru's Dad just allowed his son to believe in his delusions and didn't intervene to tell the truth until now. I can respect the Dad's decision to not say anything when Haru was a kid but allowing this unhealthy coping to develop to Haru's teenager years without doing anything about it is shameful to see.

Funnily enough your point is basically the explanation I guess.
The father wanted to leave Haru to cope in his own way because he was a small child.
But then Haru started growing and keep on mentioning his mother being alive.
The father probably didnt notice or tried to ignore the problem thinking Haru was still young and he didnt want to hurt his son with the truth. But then, years passed and Haru wasnt a child anymore and still believed his mother lived.
Any subtle jabs about the truth were probably ignored by Haru -who may have been aware of the truth but in denial the whole time- and by then the father just likely didnt know what to say or do.
He probably felt awkward, maybe even angry at Haru for keeping with that lie and mad at himself for allowing Haru to believe it.
Apparently there was never a big fight between them, but Haru dad simply become distant, and then Haru moved to live by himself so the truth remained hidden,

Ah well, at least I'm glad Haru can come to terms with the news and can start reconciling with his father.

Yeah, though I would like that Kaya could do anything to make the dad and brother be able to see the mother... Im assuming she is a ghost and not just Haru Allucination. It would be a bit problematic if Haru were just crazy, it would make you doubt if the whole plot isnt Haru allucinating his gf is a monster.
But anyway, it would be nice if Haru relatives could see her, at least once. Then they could understand Haru point of view, and not live with the missunderstanding that the poor guy is simply crazy.

Yep, it was supposed to be some bittersweet story about finding the will to live, but people liked the story because of the couple. That changed the whole context for the author, so all of a sudden it became "Never mind this is actually real, what does that mean for the story now?"
