I knew their parents were pieces of shit and Makino’s big sis was too naive or is just plain dumb to think these controlling parents would be accepting of her doing anything outside their little heir mold.
I am so sorry for Makino. Her sister is out of the house, so all the pressure falls onto her.
F for scum-chan y’all
Big sis was always the clear favorite, so she probably never got to see just how terrible her folks are. The worst part is that this chapter just cements the idea that they never saw Makino as anything more than a backup. They had to make sure she did well so that she didn’t embarrass them, of course, but it’s not until they write off their older child that they really start trying to cram her into the mold they had made for the older one.
With all the sometimes infuriating scumbaggery of Makino, she always had that touch of goodness behind it. Like how she actually cared and was open to understand others and change, but just a little.
Those parents don't, though. Screw them.
At least the good thing in this chapter is that Rena told her parents to fuck off. Looking forward to Makino doing the same.
God how I fuckin hate these forced marriage nonsense. I know it won't go anywhere considering the story of this manga, but still, roll my eyes every time this trope is brought up
From what Sena said, I wouldn't be surprised if her breakup with Makino's sister was over having to pretend to be a man in front of their family and/or her sister's shame in being unable to introduce Sena as a woman/girlfriend.
I ended up being wrong with this prediction before, but it did still come back to bite Makino. :<

Arranged marriages were common across the entire world. I don't know how relevant they are for Japan's elite families, but obviously there's enough cultural memory for it to work for the intended audience.
"Our daughters are starting to understand they're independent human beings, let's ruin their lives before it's too late (we don't care about their happiness)."

They are basically trying to offload the business inheritance through a marriage since the big sis is refusing the position
Now the question, is Makino gonna run away and live at Mashiros/sister's place or is she gonna try tanking the interviews
They probably thinking of it as “prevention” in some kind of twisted “parents who force kids into conversion therapy” way.
It's about the inheritance of the cram school business (the thing that has been on the parents minds all story) they don't even believe that gay exists, if they did they would have disowned the sister
Now the question, is Makino gonna run away and live at Mashiros/sister's place or is she gonna try tanking the interviews
Well, at the very least she does have all the required skills to absolutely tank any marriage interview, reminds me of the time she told a dude she doesn't have a phone while staring right at it to ignore him
Since they already mad, might as well come out too at that point
Unlike the older sister Makino is stuck living with her parents. And depending on them for allowance money and cram school. She'll need independence first before it's safe to come out.
Oh shit I just realized her dad is technically Mashiro's boss to isn't he.

Yeah, the original comment gave me the vibe of, like, tell me you don't care to understand other cultures while not telling me you don't care to understand other cultures.
Being all [eyeroll] at the idea of arranged marriages is basically like, I can't believe that all stories aren't written specifically for me and how I view the world.

There’s also the big distinction between “forced” marriages (where the participants aren’t allowed to opt out) and “arranged” marriages, which people who react like the OP routinely ignore.
