Well, that was a nice one, and he can do non-cartoony if he really wants to!

And just in case it isn't clear from the TL notes: Kogane suggests the fox bride might have been getting married to a human, like her, because young granny saw the bridal procession near a human town. And if a fox was just getting married to a fox they wouldn't need to come near a human town. Then granny wonders if they're really the same type of fox, because the bride was so composed and beautiful, and Kogane's kind of derpy.

She's a silly creature by nature but still tries her best

Calls her granny

Aren't you older than her?

 

[eviljackspicer]

Can Obaa-chan babysit the kids?

 

[romie68]

Aw fantastic. I was worried she would be one of those stereotypical bigoted pain-in-the-ass landlady that are portrayed in manga.

"You're kind of goofy"

Only kind of?

Yeah, honestly I previewed her as 'the nosy old lady next door' just based on that prejudice (hadn't actually read it yet). Glad she's nice!

 

[xanon]

Wait, wait...we were promised a nosy granny, not a lonely granny.

 

[Karamru]

Nice to see a good nosy neighbour lol most of the time they tend to be the most insufferable characters in manga.

Thanks for the chapter!

What?

In manga, an old lady in an apartment near you (especially when the face is drawn like that) is very often a nosy busybody. That's what I assumed too! Of course if she has the smiling, eyes closed, old person Buddha face, then she's almost always good, but that's not how granny here is drawn. Worst of all is the bitter old landlady who hates everyone and everything and suspects the MC of doing all the bad things (which he may actually be doing). It's not always the case, but I've seen it enough to know what he meant. In that trope she wouldn't have seen the ears, but would suspect Kogane of something (zomg blonde foreigner wife!) and relentlessly spy on her. Thankfully that did not happen.

I'm aware of the trope but the word bigoted made me unsure what the poster meant.

In the "fluffier" (in this case literally) romcoms I've read lately, there've been many spectators which eagerly watch the goofy young couple fall in love, so I didn't expect her to be negative (i. e. in Akutsu-san). Thank you very much for the chapters and the translator's notes.

RE: Translater's Endnotes - It used to be pretty common in English for husbands/wives to call each other Father/Mother, you see it a lot in books pre-1950s or so. But like you noted, when it shows up now it has a creepy (or at least cringey) connotation - Mike Pence (former US vice president) is notable case who gets ridiculed in the press for consistently and publicly calling his wife "Mother." It's not something that can be hand-waved away by his regional culture/religious background/age; it is an idiosyncrasy that (hypothesis) he has adopted because he thinks it sounds old-timey and salt-of-the-earth.

Off topic, but it's funny to me that "baby" and "babe" never turned cringe like that lol.

Thanks for TL!
