And here we go back on the bullshit drama from the mom

 

[Era]

It's hard to read, but I do like how the abuse is being handled. None of this "mama has a sad backstory so it excuses everything" or "mama said 'sorry' and is now a completely different person and none of the abuse matters anymore" or "mama's family so you have to forgive all her abuse" bullshit like I see in so many other media. It's rather realistic, really.

There better be a redemption arc

I remember in the comments to the chapter where the mom was introduced and threatened Marika, that someone said her actions were justified. 😒 Well, it's 100% clear now that the story is saying she is a rotten person and "horrible" doesn't even describe her as a mother.

 

[SchultzD]

Disgusting 'mother'.

 

[jnguy2]

ugh

 

[HunterCO]

Oof

 

[MerlinD]

Well now. Shit.

 

[mtfunky]

We’re cooked!!!!

*sigh

I have a feeling that Marika's mother needed a hug right in the middle of her breakdown.

Waiting past that, with her mind now dead-set on destruction (to herself, to that guy, and anyone else that might be "in her way"), even these sincere gestures will fall flat.

...well, maybe I'm just projecting. I think hugs are powerful. Plus, omelettes are peak.

In any case, it doesn't matter if it were just Marika-chan or Marika with Takae's memories. No good mother shouts at her child, right when said child is genuinely attempting to console her own parent.

 

[watanuki-kimihiro]

How dare the author put drama in this story. I wish this manga was just 50 volumes of paint drying instead.

Come on mom, let your daughter fucking console you!
