I hope she is not mixing wishing for maternel love with being in love.
Fucked up, but not surprising coming from Flowerchild.

I think the author just didn't want to go full incest and have Misa be Io's sister or half sister. But it's about as close to Misa's mom that we're likely to get.

What am I supposed to do for another month. Flowerchild is truly genius. Tbh it takes a second read through to truly appreciate the art and depth of the characters, but once you're used to Flowerchild oh boi you can't go back.

No because why was she with that man fr (the "stepmom")

Damn this author is so good. What's the step-mom doing with the drunk dad, you adk? Ask half the planet. We don't desire the love that's good for us. We seek comfort in the form of familiarity because it's what our brain already knows. Likely was a caregiver for her own parent before finding this guy. Yikes.

So its the true her first experience realized she has a thing, her face after puke was sus. With this misa character becomes more interesting, hope next chapter explain how she ended up works as hostess, maybe run from home. So there a possiblity she can meet her step mother again

I'd think it's pretty common that someone does mix them to some extent. And, with Io, Misa loves getting to take on the caretaker role herself and give Io what neither of them received, while Io gives Misa the sense of acceptance Misa wanted.

Not sure how the mom went evil (assuming it's really Io's mom) instead, but it's easy to see how she could if she goes from being isolated and mistreated to being famous in a cutthroat environment.

That's not Io's mom. Time doesn't add up, Io was already born. I don't know if we are aware of their age difference, but it's not that much, maybe 12/13 years?

I remember seeing the ages somewhere and I believe it's around a decade difference in age. However, it is still not impossible that Io was born but not with her.

If it's not literally Io's mom I still would expect them to be sisters or something like that based on the similar appearances, but we will find out.
