Forget about the uncle. He doesn't exist anymore in tankoubon universe, which is the canon version.

Good for you, Furuka, your time of ninki has arrived. Every girl wants you!

It's....It's a different character? People can have more than one relative.

Her uncle works in the fishery and her aunt works on the docks, from what I can tell.

No they're the same character, the uncle now aunt lived alone before Furuka crashed there. The author retconned the character into being a woman.

Citation? I'm not saying you're wrong or lying, but there's nothing in the manga that indicates that. The uncle can live alone while also having a sister who lives elsewhere on the island. They have different jobs and different appearances, and we've never seen the aunt at home with Furuka.

I just don't know where it's coming from. Have the early chapters actually been changed in the tankoubon? Did the author say something about it somewhere? Or are people just making assumptions because the aunt started showing up in the last few chapters, and the uncle hasn't been seen since the early ones?

Translator here. I have the tankoubon and I can confirm that the "uncle" doesn't exist anymore.

Or rather, he never existed in the first place. It was always an aunt. Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.

Literally 1984

The early chapters have been redrawn for the tankoubon and some scenes changed a bit (not the plot itself).

Edit: Here, page 10 of chapter 8 in the tank to compare to https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/kaijuu_iro_no_shima_ch08#10

oh now that we're getting more of a focus on the aunt. Given that the monster preys on maidens, this plot beat might just exactly be why she's an aunt now instead.

This thing started when I was a college freshman. I am now entering year five of my fulltime career. Maybe it will finish before I retire, but not holding my breath.

Edit: I'm going senile. I started college in 2014 not 2018. Goddamit.

So it turns out the monster is Kon's other gay aunt and was only messing with Furuka to see if her niece is in good hands! I understand now! (⁠ ⁠´⁠◡⁠‿⁠ゝ⁠◡⁠`⁠)

Uncle should've remained a man, makes the story feel more grounded, not every manga has to be beauty pageant with 404 men not found, i wonder if authors editor suggested that.

As discussed earlier here, it's far more likely that this has less to do with "beauty pageants" and more with the topics s/he needs to speak about with the niece becoming far more awkward with a man.

Good, give me awkward, give me difficult, make it interesting.

The responsibility that comes with making a find like that in a small, close-knit community like this sounds more terrifying than any ghost or monster.

This has gone from "sea monster teenage romance" to "ghost helping a paleontologist" and honestly I don't even mind.

Well, it feels like as I suspected the teen romance is drifting away into the mist, but--TRILOBITES! OK, for trilobites I can forgive.

Lot of trilobites.

I'm wondering if it's a wish granting spirit. Not to try and claim it's benevolent, but Aunt went looking for Trilobites, and maybe it made trilobites that died not long after. Idk, spitballing, we don't know how long Aunt was going back to that spot so it may either make no sense they dried in a short amount of time or make perfect sense if it's been over a week.

Trilobite Yuri now ...? Cool
