Hey! Another great day for a new chapter! I hope you liked it (or could read it since, well, my english is not as good as you might have noticed). If there are some TL mistakes I made, please make me know about them so I can make the proper correction right away. Thanks as always and see you later!

Sir. Your wife is part of a genestealer cult. What you think of as your wife is just psychic influence from the norn queen of hive fleet Leviathan

 

[windfang]

So, regret it is? and that marriage registration is the trigger.

Man this is getting messy ~

 

[Thyme.Minister]

bruh Takae is Sukuna i guess???

 

[Wildstag]

Bro is living in the hardest core of denials, even AFTER seeing the result of the lost year on her.

I don't know where this is going any more. Which isn't a bad thing but I almost wonder if it is her now trying to meet their expectations and not actually be the wife. I am going back and forth.

Wait... why is there a marriage registration with Mai as the witness/guarantor? Did Takae-in-Marika or Keisuke have marriage papers drawn up now after her not-reincarnation? I don't remember that happening but it's super freaking creepy. This has to get to the point of Keisuke and Mai recognizing that they have to let Takae go so Marika can live her life, because otherwise this becomes pretty selfish/horrible.

This story puts most isekai in a weird conundrum. All those protagonists are killing someone else to live their superpowered wishful-thinking lives.

It's from Chapter 20: after Keisuke brought Moriya home to hang out with Takae, Mai freaked out because it felt like he was moving on. It's unofficial. Keisuke made it symbolically to say that despite Takae-in-Marika's situation, the three of them were a family.

My guess is that Takae is some sort of regretful spirit or will possessing Marika because Marika didn't want to exist a year ago. By the end of the previous arc, everyone's lives were good and Takae had no regrets, she was just looking forward to marrying Keisuke again in 6 years. So she didn't have the power to pilot Marika anymore.

Marika briefly regretted making her mom work so hard, but she was reassured quickly. I think that lingering uneasiness weakened her and seeing the picture where she was a family with Keisuke and Mai + picking up the marriage registration while looking for drawing paper strengthened Takae's will.

To be fair, given how much isekai cribs off colonialism, extinguishing a native person’s soul just so you can experience being a big fish in a small pond fits right in place.

I have seen some series try to justify this. Some characters like Adele from Average Abilities and Katarina from Bakarina have the series basically say they were legit reincarnated. Unlike Takae here, their new lives have a similar personality to their old lives, and it’s only when they recover their memories that their two personas fuse into one.

The other option is how folks like Lugh from Assassin Aristocrat and Haruto from Am I Actually the Strongest reincarnate - they’re quite literally born with their old memories intact. Not only does this allay any concerns about taking someone else’s life - you ARE that life to begin with - but it also removes the convenient “oh I quickly regained my memories after my childhood ended” excuse. If you really want to be reborn, you’re going to have to experience the whole thing just like everyone else.

This situation freakin sucks 😞.
It's gotten so messy.

 

[shinshom]

Yeah .... they are happy but they know nothing good is on the way.....

 

[sherlock0790]

Woah what the actual fuck is that first line about. Why are you going on and on about isekai now? Calling Isekai colonialism when the vast majority of it is a simple power fantasy in a JRPG-esque world is an overanalysis that you could really only create by viewing the Japanese-born genre through a western lense. "Native person"? I would never use the word "native" to decribe people in an isekai They are almost always more akin to medieval Europe in terms of technological advancement.

You didn't even touch Ascendence of a Bookworm, which actually acknowledges the death of the person who the protagonist replaces in a very emotional scene. Hell, the protagonist is physically frail and unable to exert herself to much without get dangerously ill, which is very atypical of the genre.

 

[Moonbunne]

Takae is a spirit living inside Marika so I guess the solution is HOMINAHOMINAHOMINA GET EXORCISED
