Sorry readers, looks like the plot progression has been postponned to another chapter 😔

its becoming pretty clear the whole sister plotline was just a hook the editor had added in to make the story stand out

...and the real story the author wanted to write was this meandering slice of life slop

I'd be fine with that if "my sister who raised me in absence of our parents worked herself to death while shielding me from the cruel realities of our life, and this is the only connection I have to the side of her I never got to see" wasn't so fucking dire and dramatic a hook. Like, if you want to sucker in readers with an interesting premise, then flip it into lighthearted romcom, that's fine, but maybe pick something less tragic that people would actually like to learn more about.

Kind of reminds me of Super Cub, which is 99% a manga about cute girls riding motor cycles, sponsored by Honda, but also has this tragic premise of the heroine getting outright abandoned by her mother, and it's almost never brought up.

Uno jumpscare

But yeah shame we'll probably only get drips of the sister plot

Spoiler: Unless...

until they start the axe

Fuck this shit. Seems like they're never going to give us a proper chapter. The author's most likely not good enough to make a decent plot progression anyways. Goodbye, I'm departing this airport.
