As for Chapter 47, I'm willing to bet that it's a dream of some kind, given that not only does Nikaidou call Tadokoro by her first name, but she shows up in a limo (which Tadokoro thinks is out of a movie), and there's a sudden overtly romantic atmosphere without any buildup whatsoever.

We've already been told about Nikaidou's "unique" family situation, though, and the rest is quite fitting as well, seeing how this is a date.

Guys, what if the parents are in that car?

gee who coulda guessed nikaido was wealthy

Guys, what if the parents ARE that car?!

I've seen a lot of things in my life. Talking cars, cats turning into cars, even sentient motorcycles. But never have I ever seen a car spawn a human child.

So new theory, the car is Nikaidou's ADOPTIVE parents. It found her while on a humanitarian mission countering human trafficking/experementation. A small African nation was trying to create test tube super soldiers and she was the result of that project.

They’re both cute

But never have I ever seen a car spawn a human child.

I could see that in Turbo Teen's future.

I was waiting for the damned Turbo Teen reference.

Jesus Christ, this is the best result of one of my typos that I've seen in my entire life.

Ara? The god of good in the fictional Lathvy faith from the History of Famana?

Short but satisfying.

My money's still on Nikaidou coming from an old European gangster family that's very open minded about same sex relationships.
It would explain the money, the blonde hair and her superhuman combat reflexes.

my bet on nikaidou being the daughter of a martial artists family with their own dojo , having the girl be the next heritage of the nikaidou ken but she wants to do normal girl stuff (like lusting on tadokoro)

A white limo speaks more to politics, industry, royalty* or something to me. If it were mafia/yakuza, she'd probably arrive in a black car with a bunch of bodyguards. If owning a dojo were their thing, they wouldn't be that rich, going by standard manga tropes.

*thus I'll stick with my theory that she's a Princess from Hell :)

Hm, it's true that a gangster family would have a black limo. But wouldn't a princess (either a figurative or literal one) also have bodyguards? Her family are cool with her skipping after school activities and sleeping with her girlfriend as long as they have a chaperone (ie wing-mom, who is actually the complete opposite of a chaperone. But they didn't know that).

Part of me is afraid it'll just turn out her parents own a company or something. That will help ensure financial stability for her and her future wife, but it's not hardboiled. I'd take the "adopted by sentient cars" backstory over that.

My issue is essentially that I can't think of anyone that'd drive around in a limo like that and not at least have some sort of driver-bodyguard type (again, by manga standards). But we never see anyone ... I mean, clearly she has a driver. But they don't even open the door for her or anything.

It'd be true for a politician's daughter as it'd be for a rich heiress as it'd be for ...

So maybe her family knows she's as badass as she is and that's why she has no bodyguards? So totally Hell Princess. I'll just stick with that.

Or I'll have to go back the whole "this is Tadokoro's fantasy" spiel, and the lack of bodyguards is to hint at that it's just a fantasy and not real ...

Oh, you just don't notice the bodyguards. If Sasameki Koto is any indication, half the crowd around there are actually her bodyguards. :P

True. If we can't see any bodyguards, the only logical conclusion is that they're ninjas.
Nikaidou is a gay ninja.
