Indeed, she’s a talent as bright as the sun

 

[Doctor_Malsyn]

Still proud/loves his daughter all the same, in his own way.

 

[Goose0810]

It’s enough to make a grown man cry

 

[Hicleric]

One can hope that the father feels at least a little lot guilty about abandoning her back then.

But then again...pain can spark artistic triumphs

Hi, Alphard. Hi, Ri-Chan's Dad.

 

[jackjack9]

Everyone enjoys Ri-chan's music

 

[MaleNagisa]

I love that despite it all, the manga never truly antagonized the dad that much.

What he did was wrong and the story acknowledged that, but also kinda understood that at times it just happens with out any malice and that kinda interesting to see.

Also RI-CHAAAAAAN!!!! SHE DID IT

 

[Coldlight]

Alphard seems to be overseas, I guess the deal that was offered to her took her out of the country. I love that Riri's music still reaches her no matter where she is.

Huh, didn't expect her dad to actually buy an album. For all his faults, I guess he's also basking in a bit of pride from his daughter's achievement. Also, this the first time I've seen his second wife.

Anyway, Riri's music is selling and available on streaming services. She's finding success!

 

[ninjacookie]

Im still not over it on how he can abandoned his daughter like that tbh.

 

[Iamcheater]

Motherfucker you get that CD off that desk you don't deserve to look at it. You piece of shit.

Kinda mixed feeling about Riri's dad. He cheated, yes, deplorable, but he was the one to bring that up (at least that's how i recall it?), and who's to say that staying with unloved wife would've been a better choice (for all three of them). But his reunion with Riri felt really awkward and void of any closeness they were shown to have in flashbacks, and that tidbit about him stopping smoking made it look like he didn't care for Riri as much as he did for his new family. And yet he's still shown to have a spot for Riri in his heart.

From a religious perspective, he owes devotion to his first wife because he made a promise to do so.

From a secular perspective the marriage is for people in love and he shouldn't have to suffer with a woman who he thinks doesn't offer what he signed up for.

Admittedly some religions or religious people even among Christians would excuse his decision to leave his first wife. And many secular people reading this will be angry at him for abandoning our precious Ri-chan.

But i hope we can agree that made part of the problem is that it is a crime to register two marriages, even if both wives agree. Such laws leave him with only 3 options:

1- stay in a loveless marriage and probably suffer
2- treat his preferred love as a mistress with secret or an open secret.
3- divorce his wife and leave his first family for a new one with his second love

There is a fourth hidden option of trying to live together, but that would just be a special flavor of option 2.

Just thought I'd say that. I do not approve of his choice, but i do not think him unforgivable scum.

Not sure why you'd bring up religion or polygamy here. He wasn't portraited as a pious person, nor he was shown to hold onto his old family - he just found a new love and moved on.

I'm just bringing it up because so many people are hating on him.

 

[BlackGeneral]

Weird how everybody hate a poor fictional dad. He is just an average guy trying his best
