“Okaeri, Papa” - Ch. 34.5 - Special Chapter: Question

[huntercheco]

"You are grounded, to your bedroom young lady!"

 

[Kwyjibo0]

Ah, just normal casual conversation:

HEY FATHER, DO YOU MASTURBATE?!

lul

Without the suspicious expressions of the characters, this manga is actually quite funny. Awkward, but funny. Touko is a bit of a prankster, but not evil.

....y-you do remember what she did to her classmate, right?

It's literally just stupid at this point. This entire manga is an example of "How framing makes a story".
Cut out the middle panel on page 3 of this guy hesitating to answer with a pounding heart and you know what you have?

LITERALLY NOTHING HAPPENING

Girl asks her stepdad a question, he is confused, she leaves the room. End of chapter.
90% of what makes this series "psychological" is the tags on the website and the odd framing panel that makes things more suggestive than they'd otherwise be.

Someone else could write this entire story changing none of the dialogue, and it could be a gentle drama series about a new family trying to settle in together. (Skipping chapter 10 of course)

i wrote a year ago in one of the chapters, so far other than shooing away a stalker, literally nothing has happened in the entire series other than drawing the mom and daughter like they are villains with creepy eyes.

....y-you do remember what she did to her classmate, right?

Do you mean the one Touko arranged to be rescued by her prince?

I keep waiting for the moment when some gruesome background information in form of a newspaper article or news segment appears, like „Body of former idol found“. Not sure whether it’s better not to know her exact fate or to know it, because right now I am pretty sure they find a way to make it even more horrible than I could imagine.
