Then she should be 17 at the beginning of the manga since school year begins in April and manga starts between autumn and winter of her first year of high school (remember Ayako saying about a lot of work because it's a change of seasons?) I'm sure that it was between autumn and winter specifically because after some time confession happened, Asuka got sick and stayed home during New Year. Then a new semester started, enter Akira, Asuka is still 16. She turned 17 around the time of the wedding (and I just remembered that we made a double mistake on page 2 of volume 6 extra which we never fixed - actually Asuka is 17 here and Ayako is 38).

Anyone else see this and think of Asuka going nuts over how cute Ayako is in the nekomimi headband? (probably after spending days wheedling her into wearing it).

I miss Ayako so much

Here, let me help:

Nyayako

she'll go even more nuts after she figures out how ayako is attaching that tail to herself

She already knows how to attach it since she did it herself before:

Regarding Asuka's age

It's entirely possible to appear as if she's behind everyone else because she would only have been 5 by the time school started and so she would have had to wait a year. So basically she'll be 18 when she graduates, but then will turn 19 like right away.

An interesting note: she'll be 18 during most of her final year. Fufufu

That's not the issue here. The problem is that It was stated that Asuka was 15 during her flashback with Miyuki in her 2nd year of middle school: https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/1_x_volume_7_extras#2 But then if her birthday is in spring she can't be 16 in the autumn/winter of her 1st year of highschool when the manga starts https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/1_x_ch02#9.

I made an account just to say how great this manga is. I stayed up way past my bedtime to read the whole thing because I just could not stop reading. Don't reject your mom Asuka!

"MOM"
me: chokes

imagine after all this time and internal struggling asuka just goes "wtf i'm your daughter no way" and calls CPS on ayako

I really hope that's not the case lol. After all the struggle of waiting for the next chapter

Been a month since the last update! Fidget fidget Corona probably delayed it though.

So when Ayako says "I love you," what is it in Japanese, and does she use a different phrasing than a mother-daughter love you?

"Anata no koto suki yo"

From Taiyaki,

Thank you for your concern, as you said Ichitonibun Noichi is currently suspended. I'm still busy everyday with my parents help this month, and I'm really sorry I don't know when I can go back to writing..! It would be very helpful if you could tell English-speaking people as well! Thank you.

Let's support if we can, subscribe to her pixiv if possible.

That breaks my heart. Let's support her in all the way we can

IDK why, but I imagined this playing after the stickfigure and their computer started floating in those tears.

Do you guys know if there are fanfics or sub reddits for this manga? Something to live with before the next chapter is out?

So does anyone know how Taiyaki feels about fanfiction? Overall doujin culture seems open enough to borrowing beloved characters, but the obvious area is anticipating "developments"... some authors find that sort of thing disconcerting/annoying.

She seems to be okay with fan works in general, and also seems to really like them. If I remember correctly, there's at least one person that writes fanfiction that she retweets occasionally. It's crossed my mind a few times to write something, but I felt Miyuki was the only side character that was distant enough from the main plot (there's still a lot of mystery behind Akira that feels like it could be very consequential, for example), but that also had enough presence that her motivations and character were clear enough to work off of, and I'm not that interested in her.

This really sucks and I miss Ayako but health and safety is most important.

I shared this with Taiyaki. She responded:

Thank you for letting me know! I'm really happy that 1x1/2 is a work that many people can support... currently I am moving, so I will start working on the work as soon as it is over! Thank you for your support.
