Totsugi Okureta Kitsune ga Yome ni Kuru Hanashi - Vol. 6 Ch. 60.1 - You're Going to Catch and Eat Me!

[Chuito]

I swear ive read a story about something just like this happening irl. Could be misremembering a fictional story but its oddly familiar.

While her experience in that war era may not apply with modern Goro/Kogane, I can see how her story and successful childrearing could inspire confidence in their new marriage. Just hearing of a story where both partners go so far for each other can inspire people to try and achieve similar heights for their own pattners

 

[PhantomGoth]

While not unexpected, whoever called out that tragic backstory in the previous chap deserves a donut cause this was damn tragic

 

[PhantomGoth]

On a different note (post), so this be how a interspecies baby look I assume we can expect Kogane and Goro's babies to be the same.... Don't know how to feel about a humanoid yokai with quite the amount of hair as a baby Defo requires different child rearing ways given the yoke nature of it but I guess this is where Granny comes into play (Hooraa Granny Redemption! )

 

[Ikariniku]

Given that Goro was interested in books that were so old they were falling apart as long as they had information on interspecies marriage, I doubt he's looking for information on how to register their marriage certificate or how to deal with prejudice. (Besides, he has those answers from Akane.) What Goro wants is an understanding of how he and Kogane will get along as a couple from differing backgrounds and expectations. A simple story of how the Tanuki granny and her husband got along from day to day is exactly what he's after.

Well, I guess I called it last time. I wish Japan would educate its citizens on the early 20th century like Germany does.

Nah. I'm so glad the Japanese are not in a constant state of self flagellation like the Germans.

 

[Andasen]

That went dark real fast

 

[Darkshade13]

Fuck around and find out.

 

[NeakiNaegi]

thanks for the TL and the history lesson

Damn, that was an unexpected turn. That was not at all what I expected but looking back, it probably would go that way. Really like how 'grounded' this story has felt so far even with the supernatural mixed in.

"Grounded" is a great way to put it. For me, this has been a delightful read that tries to keep plausible motivations for its characters without shying away from their failures and other unpleasantries. I think I've been underestimating this author, seeing how he has mostly pulled this off from the beginning with a defter hand than seems typical and without insulting the reader with heavy moralizing.

 

[BlackAeronaut]

A broken promise by her husband to return, and the constant harasser returning to essentially spit on his grave was clearly too much.

The thing is that the Japanese were incredibly vindictive at this time.

It would not surprise me at all if there were informants in the "recruiting office" that not only singled him out for being drafted, but also passed word of his anti-war sentiments along so he'd be killed as cannon fodder.

 

[Kyuketsuki]

There was an entire movement in Japan after the war called the revisionist movement where they hid and forbade teaching certain things about the pre during and post ww2.

For instance the human body is about 60% water. Why is that common knowledge? Japanese Unit 731 took living people weighed them, then put them in an oven until well no water remained and weighed them again.

Wow that's dark and heavy. For one, mandatory country-wide draft is a violation of basic human rights.
