“Okaeri, Papa” - Ch. 18 - Rift

[ELtaaaaax]

She's already got bad vibes from the girl and mother as it is. She's going with her gut. You know. Like a normal person.

No they're not.

They stalked an entire list of men, then narrowed it down to him. They then orchestrated a "first meeting". You really forget all this?

She reluctantly gave the baby to her brother after the menacing phone call came in. Just because I give you something, doesn't mean I suddenly don't mind what you do with it. Especially not if that "thing" is my infant child.

Lmao fax

 

[ELtaaaaax]

The sister was manipulated to become very distressed

And in that distress, the sister lashed out

However, the manner in which the sister lashed out is within her control

And she did so by disparaging MC's family and capacity to have children

While it's clear she did so during a very emotional moment, the fact is she will use that information as a weapon to hurt you if she thinks it's appropriate


The MC may forgive, but it's unlikely he'd forget. nor should he forget.

defending them is crazy lmao

 

[Antinomy]

The Oyakodon is inevitable.
RIP the sister though. She made a powerful enemy

Thanks for the TL

 

[dahhv2]

Holy shit. Still waiting on what happened to the ex-idol

 

[lucidnyxx]

Oh shit. Big sis, you played right into their hand.

 

[Tuddle_10265l]

dis mangaka cookin wtf

 

[LoyaltL]

I was anxious about some super fucked 4D plan to isolate him from the sister but sis went full nuclear on him (why lmao) and just served him up on a platter super easily.

#RIPBOZO say bye-bye to oniichan forever

 

[BigGuyForUUUU2012]

The sister is correct in doubting the mom and daughter but she always expresses herself in the worst way possible

 

[Kanade_bot]

"i get that...", "i guess...", "i think...", "it should be...",...

 

[Dragoonx]

Wow that lasted page is crazy 🤣

 

[Horn]

Get fucked sis, the oyakodon duo wins again

 

[TheBlackGamer]

defending them is crazy lmao

Why? Just because the sister is suspicious of them doesn't mean much to the MC. MC has no reason to suspect some dubious plot from his wife and daughter. At most he's more worried of being a good father to his step-daughter.

Just because you as the reader know something doesn't mean jack shit to the characters in the story who don't know. I'm very curious why people can't defend them against the behavior of the sister.

 

[chojinra]

Just really hope they don't kill him...

 

[Tuskboi]

This was so wild to read in a long time.

 

[chojinra]

I feel like sis overreacted based on everything we’ve seen. To be honest, this didn’t seem like much of a “plan” to me and I don’t see how this outcome would be something they’d have gambled to get to. I’ll have to admit though that it clearly worked out well for the scheming duo. Clearly they want to separate this poor bastard from his supportive family, even though they don’t see each other very often.

I’m also disappointed that we didn’t get any answers about the sister, her sus phone call and her presumed affair.

At this point all I’m hoping for is an explanation of why the mom and daughter are like this in the first place. They are enjoying this way too much for it to just be about money.

I think the call (and probably her husband being a dick) is what caused her to overreact. She has some shit going on, and it spilled over onto this stressful situation. It happens.

 

[TheBlackGamer]

You express shock but nothing else.

I mean if you want to call people who don't want to have kids or don't have kids genetic dead ends I hope you're at least not referring to yourself either. Because that kind of projecting is pretty sad.

If the mark of an adult is just having kids outside of you know being a productive member of society and being responsible to yourself and having high standards of yourself outside of others. Then by all means continue the shaming language.

 

[aa11bb]

but she's right tho. aside from being naive he's fudging clueless

Part of the story

 

[chojinra]

huh. Not sure why I'm just now realizing all of their major works have the "PSYCHOLOGICAL" tag...

 

[3141592653589]

All Chika had to do was say she was glad that Touko and the kiddo were alright and it would've completely torpedoed the entire plan.

But alas, her hotheaded nature rendered her powerless against the might of the oyakodon keikaku.

 

[deathmailrock]

you're not asian aren't you? I'd be kicked in the ass for getting lost because they love me and I worried them /s

she's 16. holding a baby. in a VERY crowded place.

yes, it's given she or they did it on purpose but heck in MC's mind he's supposed to think that she to already knows what to do with that kind of situation. that's why he entrusted her with the baby.

I understand he's glad they're safe but he still needs to scold her for not calling them, not going to police/lost and found where she can easily be found, or heck even for not sticking around them to not get lost in the crowd.

she deserves to be reprimanded by the adults after getting relieved that she's safe, even if without the freaking baby with her.

but noooooo, he's "too kind" and is just glad they're safe. they didn't do anything wrooong it's only him that's wrong for entrusting her the baby.

edit: what do you mean the child wasn't even in danger? is this a troll comment that I got too hyped to reply seriously? he could've been kidnapped or got in to an accident while being lost in the crowd. babies are fudging weak creatures they can die from anything!

I think context is key and you are skipping a lot of it.

No, the point was that the sister was going to ATTACK her... like, if she scolded her, that's one thing.

But the sister viewed it as the girl PURPOSELY trying to hurt the baby and when she found then, then she acted like it was actual assault....

Worry and anger is one thing, but acting like it was on purpose was going too far and sister knew that. But she was over come by emotions and step daughter left her clues about being a psycho....

But daddy doesn't know that....

How would she know any of that? She wasn't even there. She didn't see a sinister seeming last panel last chapter.

She is his daughter. He's married to her mother. Step children are still children. The sisters actions are 100% psycho. You can be pissed at the brother for handing off the kid, but to go and hit and scream at the girl because she got left behind? Psychotic.

As for the "stalking" what she did wasn't any worse than what any girl in this age does stalking guys on social media. And like 75% of women do it. We don't know what the list was for. We don't know the order the things happened.

The author is overly exaggerating the looks on purpose.

Here is the thing, often times, women would be more sensitive when there is something wrong with their in-laws.

Also, she isn't psycho.

She KNEW that daughter-in-law had something wrong with her and because of her worry, she wasn't thinking straight.

If she didn't know DIL was a psycho, she'd be mad at most....

It's a case where her having extra info is being used against her....

DIL seemed to PURPOSELY let sissy know there is something wrong, so that she would panic even more when lost....

And because daddy doesn't know the full picture, he will intervene and sister will say something she doesn't mean....

And saying something bad is no big deal normally with family cause you can just apologize and get over it.

But that mother and daughter will be "comforting" him... so a normal argument that hurts feelings becomes a weak spot...
