Otonari no Tenshi-sama ni Itsunomanika Dame Ningen ni Sareteita Ken: after the rain - Vol. 3 Ch. 37 - Childhood Anxieties, and Reassurance in the Pre…

[phorx]

I’m honestly having trouble understanding the scenario, maybe because I don’t know enough about societal/class norms in Japan? I hope someone can help explain because parts of it just don’t add up for me. Spoilers are fine.

These are the facts as I understand them:

• Her parents had an arranged marriage and never cared for each other, or even liked each other as people at all. This marriage was for family connections/business reasons so they could not refuse blah blah blah
• They got drunk and banged once, resulting in our FMC being conceived
• It was decided that it would be unacceptable to abort the pregnancy or intentionally cause a believable miscarriage. (I absolutely think her mother is capable of this)
• As soon as the baby is born, both parents ensure that she has the bare minimum of care provided by hired help but don’t cohabitate with their child.
• That hired care does NOT include overnight hours.
• Both parents have separate homes and also have sexual affairs outside of the marriage (apparently the mother is particularly prolific)

So here’s my questions:

1. If family/career ties are important enough for the parents to get married and stay together for appearances, then why doesn’t their family care about:
   1. Never seeing their grandchild
   2. All of the well-known infidelity that is probably an embarrassment
2. This level of neglect is surely illegal. Even the hired care giver could be charged for not reporting it, so:
   1. why didn’t the caregiver do something?
   2. why take the risks of doing something illegal when their precious careers will be endangered if they are exposed?
3. How does the parents staying together serve their careers or business connections when everyone around them knows that it’s a sham marriage and they’re both fucking around?

no diabetes chapter this time but man
there should be some sort of resolution from her parent side this cant be the end of it

Mahiru seems to be nothing more than a political pawn for her parents, if anything. We can see how Amane's presence is like a light at the end of the tunnel for her, which then makes more sense why she's so aggressive in trying to court Amane. By getting into his family, she can eventually completely remove her parents from her life, and it would also prevent her parents from trying any tricks (e.g. superficial "love") to try to manipulate her.

When she woke up from her nightmare, the first thing she saw was her future hubby. Come on Amane, gotta give your future wifey a hug to put her at ease.

Well, for Miharu, Amane really is the angel who’s gonna spoil her rotten.

1.

• No clue why her Grandparents never asked, my hard guess is that they knew everything and don't want to take part in it.
• "well-known" infidelity is only an embarrassment if the wrong people know about it. As long as they are with people that dont care about it, they are okay.

2.

• Caretaker was only doing her Job and probably never knew how cold the Parents were to her. Mahiru never said anything.
• The only Person who could tell would be Mahiru but she was/is too busy playing the Perfect Girl than to tell someone the Truth. (Then there is also the problem with Trust Issues.)

3.
- Just Publicity. Divorce is seen as a Bad Thing and they want to uphold a certain public "Picture". As said before, only their Affairs and probably some Family Members know about the Sham.

All kids deserve parents... but some parents do not deserve to be parents. Mahiru is lucky as well to have turned so well despite trash-tier parents since in my experience, people in her situation rarely turn out well like her.

 

[shinshom]

I feel like this side story is being way better written...

 

[Eternalsleep]

Damn 2 chapters almost made my grown ass cry😭 that girl deserves so much better. All neglected children do

 

[Rutellum]

Anak sekecil itu berkelahi dengan waktu 🥺

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapters.

 

[Swordhaxor]

And thats all? Pff.
Weak.

Rage-bait used to be believable

 

[Erbakhan]

Pat her, hug her, praise her, marry her all day all night

There's a saying
After the rain 🌧️, there comes sunshine 🌞
And after a nightmare, Amane appears

 

[Haydrion101]

Poxes on her mother!!!
Poxes on her father!!!
Blessings on Mahiru!!!

Rage-bait used to be believable

Weak westies crumble when they are ignored, boohoo.
Little shits have a great life without immediate danger to health and have the audacity to be drama queens.

and if the father is pitying her as shown, why not give a her a small lil "i'm sorry" and a "thank you for being so patient" and a "good job for all your work"??

whatever i'll turn off my brain
