The family resemblance is… nonexistent. For any of them. Maybe if i squint at the dad.

Regarding the person with short bob who calls Rihito "oniichan". It's not uncommon for moms to call their elder children "oniichan", "oneechan". A friend of mine calls her elder daugher "oneechan". I was confused at first but judging by her maturity she's most probably his mom.

I'm assuming it might happen in other languages as well. I can say for sure that it is not uncommon (although not super common) for parents in Brazil to call one of their children "mano" (bro) "maninho" (little bro) and so on. (Portuguese)
I was totally confused at first, but now that you mentioned it, yeah, that's also totally a thing in my language, too; but it was so trippy seeing it in other language :pacman:


But seriously, Rihito is a total Menhera magnet, huh? All the girls that are close to him except his mom (or does it?), are all Menhera to some capacity (Noa, Noa-stalker, Reni).

I guess the mom calling him onii-chan is kinda like how some moms call their husbands papa/dad/father in front of their kids

Thanks for the chapter. Sister was halfway right - senpai is definitely a walking red flag.

The funny thing is, that despite being obnoxious and obviously jealous of Noa, his sister IS right that she is a huge red flag.

Can confirm. Indonesian is also like that, a father calling his wife "Bunda" which is "mother" in front of their children, a mother calling his eldest "kakak/abang" which is "older sister/brother" in presence of the younger children, really common. Usually it's to teach a baby in the house what to refer their family members as, but then it just sticks for the rest of your life.
