Her story reminded me of nora and the weed

Well, at least Igarashi won't take her frustrations out on her kid again after this. We can only pray that nothing unfortunate happens to Mina.

I mean, a parent snapping at a kid is really not that big of a deal. It's obviously not ideal, but she's a single mom working what looks like 2 or 3 jobs. That's crazy stressful.

Smh I really hope this knocks some sense into her. Is not your child fault is your fault and in order to move foward you gotta face it instead of living with the "trauma" deep inside yourself and ignoring it the rest of your life.... it's tough sure but this seems like a wake up call to me.

Looking forward to the next chapter already.

Thanks for update

Is not your child fault is your fault

Her dreams were cut short, she had a long day of her second job underlining that, and she came home to a metaphor of that fact. Parents have snapped at their children for less. Whether it is an appropriate response or not (and the mangaka makes it pretty clear that it is not), her anger is valid.

Thanks for the chapter!

Edit suggestions:

• p8: In the bottom right panel, Mayu says that she'll go because she has to take care of the store. But presumably she'll stay right where she is, i.e. at the store counter, and the line should be "so I'm not gonna go" or "so I'm not gonna go with you".
• p12: gotta come back quick -> quickly

It's a good thing she knew how to shut down the manager before he can "do her any favours". I bet she's used to dealing with those kinds of offers (and worse).

I hope the little dumpling will be safe. I bet Haro will find her by somehow visualizing Anna in the nude and using that knowledge to somehow pinpoint her daughter's location...

@princess_daphie Many Thanks for the new chapters.
(This post will also cover my thoughts on Chapter 12, which I meant to get to a couple days ago.)

I feel really bad for Anna Igarashi, given what I have seen and learned of her from these past 2 chapters. I previously had the idea in my mind that she completed her Undergraduate program at Musabi, but then was not able to make much use of it when she became pregnant with Miina, & thus had to take up her Hostess job in the Red Light District Industry, given that any art-based jobs would have been few & far between as well as being very slow in term of money flow. Learning that she had to drop out of Musabi due to Miina was brutal.
I think, by necessity, she was putting what happened to herself at Musabi to Haro considerably lightly; she, very likely, was a victim of being "pumped and dumped" by her boyfriend who obviously did not take responsibility for Anna's unintended pregnancy & immediately left her for another woman. There's also the more dark, grim and likely prospect that her pregnancy was the result of sexual assault/r*pe. Given all of that, it's no wonder she wants to disassociate from her former painter ambitions, since she associates it to a deeply violent event that happened because of them. It's especially sad since she was most likely trying to follow in her grandfather's footsteps, but was unwillingly forced to turn her back on them.

Hopefully, come next chapter Haro will come clean on his part on how Miina went missing, since it was him that spurred Miina on to open her mother's painting cabinet in spite of the clear warning sign & everything that happened after that.

Last thing, I've sustained cardboard cuts on my fingers and hands several times myself, they are not fun & are much worse (imo) than regular paper cuts.

I get your point but you just said it with the first line. "Her dreams were cut short" and whose "fault" was it? Hers not her child but I get it something had to happen.

Tbh I just feel like the author makes her a victim way toooo much so I'm looking foward to how it moves forward. I'm sure she will pick-up on her dreams in some way again.

TFW when you yell at your kids because you can't yell at your dreams for coming back

It’s from her perspective so far, the author probably intentionally did it that way and did not show from the daughter’s perspective as much.

It feels to me that the girl thinks that “stupid” is a term of endearment mostly because her mum used to call her that too.

I have some guesses to what the “nude” in this mother and daughter context is, but will wait to see the next chapter.

Trauma or not, if your old-enough-to-should-have-known-better kid pastes the floor with paint, you'll probably briefly yell at them.

Because this time it was paint on the floor, next time might be eating detergent or whatever. Life ain't kind enough that you can always just go with the flow, no matter how good intentions they might have had while destroying valuable stuff.
