ayako when the inevitable breakdown comes around

ayako when the inevitable breakdown comes around

Is it bad that I want to see it too? I want the whole spectrum of emotions from this author because she's AMAZING.

Asuka: No way mom’s in love with me
Mom: *Kisses back
Asuka: Surprised Pikachu face

This girl is my half.
(genetically and romantically)

The title too, I think, is self-explanatory. We have 1 (a whole, the mother) x 1/2 (half of that whole, the daughter). This story can literally be titled Mother x Daughter.

I've had this theory since chapter 5-ish, but I think there's finally enough evidence to put it out there. I think Ayako has special pheromones (kind of like that one yuri assassin manga that the name of slips my mind at the moment) that causes others to be attracted to her. I think her and the aunt were researching them in college to try to find a way to cure her, and somehow it ended with the brother dying. I think Ayako is humoring Asuka because she thinks that it's her fault and that she can't control her feelings for her because she's under the pheromones' influence. It's possible she's right (but I doubt it), and that Asuka has the same pheromones albeit in a smaller amount, for which Ayako is probably going to blame her attraction to her on. I figure end game is that they both get cured and find out that they do actually love each other after all; maybe the incestuous siblings will be the ones to point out that it's possible to just accidentally love each other?

so ayako is killgrave?

Never thought about it like that but wow, you're right.

btw my current leading theory on why Akira (and Ayako to some extent) seem to have some guilty secret about Atsushi's death

I was skeptical at first but rereading some chapters tend to abound in your sense.Here and here seem to imply that Akira may have something to do with her brother death, at least to some extent and Ayako know about it.

I put over the theory Asuka wasn't Atsushi's daughter because Ayako said she look like her father so it's kinda a given he is really her father. But the next page put me in doubt, what does Ayako mean with her sentence ?

Something certainly happened which Ayako and Akira are both aware of and feel guilty for, though they may not have been directly responsible. Its also clear that Akira has a thing for Ayako as well so maybe that plays into it? I'd really hate it however if it turned out Asuka wasn't Ayako's daughter somehow, but that seems unlikely.

Also, I was always a bit confused as to why Ayako kissed Asuka here in chapter8 but I suppose thinking about it again, she was probably reminded of his death and her lose of a person she felt something towards, given the crying. Therefore not wanting to lose anyone else she cared about she kissed Asuka to appease Asuka's desires so she wouldn't leave or become distanced. I'd be glad to hear others opinions on this though.

This is by far my favorite comment for this chapter.

Yes! I live for this. Other half romantically and genetically. Brilliant title.

An alternative title is 1x1/2 My Half of You.

Yes.

All I want is for Ayako to be honest with herself and Asuka. That she's jealous, and most importantly she has feelings for Asuka as well????Which it looks like it's hard for her but inevitable?!!

It's not that she can't be honest. From the first chapter we've seen Ayako very honest and blunt.

She has no idea what to be honest about, here. Feelings are unnatural for her. This is something very new for her, likely. Though she is older and was even married, it seems as though she's never really had strong feelings for anyone or even tried to understand them.

I don't get why we are discussing this. I'm pretty sure they show a flashback and say outright that the mom, dad and atsushi died in a car wreck, and Akira was driving. I also don't get why we are now discussing the title when it is made apparent in the first chapter.

I'm surprised we're not discussing the scary implications of learning Ayako's past in chapter 15. Looks like she's had sexual abuse, and maybe she has some twisted idea around it as a result, like maybe the position of being older means...hmm. Well actually I don't know much about sexual abuse psychology, but I know as kids when you see a bully and the power they have over you as a victim, you start to think that's the only way to have power and feel good about yourself, so you tend to adopt bullying others as well. Like aren't the parents of bullies also bullies technically? So... I dunno.

Damn though like... What's Ayako thinking?

Nah, I always knew. But now that we got Ayakos point of view, and all the development between Asuka/Ayako the title does seem to imply not just half of her DNA, but potentially her other half. (soul mates/romantic)

Yes, this makes sense! When I first started this manga, I thought Asukas dad was the only person Ayako had ever loved, and I was hoping Asuka wasn't like a replacement for him. But now I'm just shook. Ayako just might love Asuka, and might be experiencing love (romance) for the first time. Ah, whatever is happening, I need more.

That's the first I hear about it. I think you're confusing it with being abused and then growing up to be abuser as well. Yes, kids of abusers often grow up to be abusers as well as a copying mechanism, without even realizing it.

..... Just done another re-read, fee like I pick up more each time, good from start to where its at now
https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/1_x_ch07#24 since back then.... Didn't even realise how Ayako was changing... even Akira pointing stuff out
To sum up.... a sad story about fucked up people, taiyaki is underated, this couldn't be better than it already is

I don't get why we are discussing this. I'm pretty sure they show a flashback and say outright that the mom, dad and atsushi died in a car wreck, and Akira was driving.

Eh what ? I don't remember anything like that happenning because if it was the case then some peoples would point in out before. I can reread to check but i'm pretty sure we never had a flashback like that.

Edit : Ok, the problem with your statement is that, one Akira don't seem to have aftermath injuries and second well , both Akira's parents are alives since Ayako said she can't pay them visit at New Year's. The one parents who are dead are Ayako's one.

I agree. There has been no flashback about anyone driving?

I love Ayako being jealous but really do not like the sexual abuse flashback. It explains her aloofness and lack of emotional responses but it might imply that the reason Ayako loves her daughter in a sexual way might be because of her trauma. Which doesn't feel right somehow but this is an incest manga so why the heck should this even be an issue lol existential crisis

I agree with you on this fear but I have hope in Taiyaki. She would come up with a good reason why she's in love with her daughter instead of following her trauma and continuing the pattern. Ayako and Asuka is end game and they will have a happy ending. I believe in Teriyaki and her incredible writing that she wouldn't do anything petty like that

I keep staring at this section of Ayako's reaction to Asuka's hug. https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/1_x_ch15#7 The top part of her reaction is cute blushing but the bottom is dark and fear. It just bothers me so much and I love the details of it. It's just a small detail yet it shows so much emotions

Also rereading this section, I wonder what Ayako meant by this. She is blaming herself for Asuka falling in love with her. https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/1_x_ch06#22 I just assumed it was because she was pampering her as a kid

In this section here, https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/1_x_ch08#10 I'm wondering what the "You know what of yours" meant. It sounds like Akira is saying that Ayako is a player and Asuka genetically inherited from her so she is unable to deny Asuka's seducing skills. By Akira saying that they are close, sounds like they were sex friends with no feelings involved. Ayako's response to that is blushing and silent quote and in addition tothe next page where Akira asks if she was serious. Might be far fetched but I think the husband found out about their relationship and got into an accident after? I'm not sure how that is connected to Ayako blaming herself for Asuka's feelings for her
