Yeah, I saw that when I started this volume and was like, "Oh great, rabbit food"... I assume since there are two stories running concurrently is why it'll take so long.

...Am I seeing Yamaoka actually go " this storebought thing is just fine and yall are overreacting "

....Is he well? Who is this stranger?

I know there are differences between American and Japanese mayo, so I deliberately did not want to comment on anything because I don't know much of anything about Japanese mayo, but here in the US, the reason mayo doesn't spoil easily is not really to do with chemical additives, really. It doesn't spoil because:

1. It's acidic. Here in the US, lemon juice and vinegar are added and that puts the PH balance at like 4 or 4.1, which makes it harder for bacteria to grow.

2. The raw eggs are pasteurized. Now, I know from the chapter where Tomii's son wouldn't drink milk that Kariya already seems not to trust the process of pasteurization.

3. The oil to water ratio is very high. Bacteria need the water to multiply and have a harder time when the moisture is bound by oil.

4. Now, this is something where Kariya was probably rubbing his hands together, but yes, mayo does have additives, but those additives tend to be things like seed oil or xanthan gum, which are natural additives rather than chemical ones (xanthan gum, for those that don't know is a very common binding agent made by fermenting simple sugars like glucose).

I don't know what answers Yamaoka will get in the next chapter yet, but those are the answers as to why it's shelf stable.

Girlie, dump the man, you don't want a mother in law that acts like this over just mayo, like bruh. Literally everything was great except for the mayo. It's not like some big bombshell like "Oh yeah everything is great, except this person is hiding a mountain of debt".

It's like the wasabi farmer in the old chapter where he's like "I'm offended you eat wasabi incorrectly". Rather than it showing that the parents care for their kids' wellbeing, the fact that the parents consider mayo and wasabi as equally important as their literal children just makes those parents look totally unhinged 😭 I know it's one of those "old manga things", but boy.

Atleast with the Wasabi farmer, Like....it is pretty much stated outside of raising his daughter, Wasabi IS his life, Its his whole career.

I can make sense sort of....of his crashout and how he relates it, because he's too...close to it? I still think hes wrong, but I get the idea behind his reaction.

This mom though, shes not even like....a mayo purveyor/egg farmer, she just goes off cus of ONE thing.
Her crashout makes way less sense even from the viewpoint of overreacting.

Literally! It's like serving her water and she's angry that you're not giving her water that came from the Alps and acted like she's the reasonable one here

It's so weird, unhinged and over protective. I know its exaggerated but hell one second she's laughing and eating like normal and one second she's shouting like some madman
