“Okaeri, Papa” - Ch. 21.5 - Reminiscence

That previous dude was drawn to look sus as hell

well, she did have him at like age 20, wouldn't be the first time young moms existed but i imagine the implication is that maybe she was groomed if not taken advantage of

 

[LuckyThePirate]

its alrdy confirmed that she pick MC so both can share him


that why both slowly breaking him up so he will make touko his lover also


but end goal... TBH... i want know myself

...
and now i want know about touko REAL father...
he seem to be okay person... or maybe used to be okay

where was it confirmed that she picked the MC for her to share with the daughter? we know she was fielding marriage candidates, but we still dont know much about their actual motives.

 

[LuckyThePirate]

was hoping for a bigger bonus chapter since thats when we get the most backstory. still glad we got to see this, and to see that she actually loved her (mothers) husband. but thats just adds to the mystery of why she is doing all this and how she got her daughter to sign up for it.

 

[LuckyThePirate]

Since she's scouting people in their 30's (which is presumably her own age) and her own daughter is a high schooler it feels safe to assume 15 - 18.

there are years separating from when the mom first started dating the MC and him meeting the daughter (she was in middle school), and more years before they move in together, which is where the story starts (her 2nd year of high school)

I mean, we know her plan. She can't have kids, so shes making her daughter bear their child on her behalf. Maybe that was the plan all along, for the daughter to be the mother, and she is the grandma.

if she wanted her daughter to be a surrogate, there are much easier ways. my brothers wife couldnt bear any more children after her first. so they took his sperm, her egg, and had my stepniece (17 at time of discussion, 18 for procedure) bear the child. i remember the conversation the family was having around xmas and all of us were really happy the daughter (my step niece) was willing to bring the child to bear. i think they also paid her like 100k or something so she was pretty happy to get a jump start to life. anecdotal i know but its not as weird to talk about or do as one would think.

Here’s my fucked up theory:

Spoiler: FUCKED UP THEORY

Her husband was MC’s dad, who was a major swindler and started a fuck ton of families - hence why there were so many ‘candidates’

Mother and Daughter about to tag team him.
I feel bad for this guy.

 

[Johnny616]

I'm just speechless

There are some people here that are hopefully somewhat normal and feel like this is weird

But there are some people that I'm concerned about, like fr

And the plot thickens... Ngl that just made me more confused though, is that the dad, does she really like him, why are they sus??

well the point of this story is more messed up and just targeting someone into a marriage versus even just willing to have her daughter hook up with random strangers through twitter like some sugar daddy stories have

Tho it would be interesting to read a josei series about someone determined to be a mom despite being single or so/having a kid of their own or whatever (i'm sure there are movies like that and such)

Has the math been done? How old was she when she had her kid?

we assume 20, because that was projected by Hiroto's mom, but that might not be true and could be younger, given seeing a young Miyako hand taken by an unknown man at the beach in the flashback.

Personally, I don't even believe that they are mother and daughter tbh; the strange tone when Hiroto's mom asked about taking care of children in relation to Minato's age, she had such a puzzling look on her face; like she never really experienced it before. They might be sisters.
