Author gets brownie points for actually writing a genetically plausible family tree for the blonde halfie. o3ob

Same. I was impressed a mangaka finally went out of there way to do that. So many quarter/half insert western nation characters with supposedly pure blonde hair and or blue eyes. It just doesn't work that way.

I've seen enough (Eastern, SouthEastern, some of the Pacific Islands)Asian-Caucasian mixed kids to know if they are 50/50, the most you're gonna get in terms of unique hair/eye colors is this sort of dark-pale brown hair color and sort of glossy brown eye color. That being said facial features can vary significantly, and some can easily be mistaken for either race depending on how they look. Look up Brazilian-Japanese girls and you'll see what I mean.

Dominant hair, skin, and eye colors start getting offset by recessive colors when they are around a quarter of the person's heritage(Iook up Punnet squares) . I've seen people who are 25% Asian and even black look completely white(blonde hair and all), assuming the other 75% of them is Caucasian. So it is actually possible for someone be a Japanese blondie like Emi given her genetic background.

Of course, I know all the crazy hair/eye colors is part of what makes anime/manga fun and not all mangakas took Bio 101 class so really who gives a shit. It's just this "I'm half-white so I have blonde hair" nonsense is so prevalent that I feel like a lot of people will gravely misunderstand how hair/eye colors are passed.

That particular one totally makes a lot of sense, IIRC precolumbine American peoples descend from East Asia.

those twin are so cute, hope they'll come back again !

Also, they looks pretty similar to the twins in haru&riko, guess the author kept their overall design. XD

Someone better wake up on top of mahoro, be it emi or nene... I love sleepy cuddle scenes

Nene would make more sense to me, at least for the "you're still just like a cat" joke.

Kuuko has no credibility whatsoever.

...is it just me or does she tend to act kind of maternal in regards to Mahoro at times though?

This release speed is unreal. Huge thanks to the scanlator team.

They're also a tiny minority of the demographics - something like under 1% in Brazil for example, on a quick skim of le Wiki. Anyway, going by a few Nordic-East Asian mixes I've seen firsthand (at least one of whom was nigh certainly half Japanese, given she was a small child on a direct Helsinki-Osaka flight) the default basically just amounts to lighter shade of yellow/gold skin and less pronounced epicanthic folds than "pure" Asiatics, with hair ranging from black to dark brown.
ʅ ( • ε • ) ʃ
Le handwaves to excuse an "exotic" character design.

As far as relevant real genetics go recessive gene is recessive. Both parents need to carry it and thereafter it's just good old genetic lottery - case in point one of my cousins is a full-on classic blue-eyed blonde while literally everyone else in the entire family, including her older brother, is dark-haired.

I love the occasional origin chapter throw in. I would love to see all of the back stories of the ayakashi. Especially Kuuko's.

Same here :3

It looks like Kuuko and Yukime were traveling together before they met Kii. I would like to see how they first met and started looking for a place/base/home together.

I find it funny how a spirit such as Kuuko, who is likely not ever going to be able to perform human-like work (with any discernible benefit) or need a human education, could ever be called a NEET.

Well it's true if you go down the exact meaning but that's when the well she's dead argument pops up and ya she's dead.

Hello!
Ayakashiko will continue sometime soon. The scanlator is neither hurt nor dead, but their house was struck by lightning. Which took out the electronics.
Please wait warmly for future ayakashi fuzzies,

Ah yes, reverse head-pats...

Sorry to hear about the equipment getting fried from the storm. You guys are doing excellent work but you don't have to rush to get all the stuff together. Take your time.

They should remove this manga from Dynasty scans, This doesn't even have a slight Yuri motivation its a waste of space

This is a yuri-oriented reader, not a yuri-only reader.

And a lot of regulars enjoy that.

Not to mention that this manga is very shipable...
