"Lately I've seen cosplayers on social media!"

I wonder... how do you cosplay as a character of this manga???

Don't they all dress like typical Japanese girls, in perfectly normal clothes?

Makino no! You were supposed to be the one who wasn't blinded by fantasy!

Cosplay just means to make yourself look lile someone else, "real" cosplay involves mostly banal costume

The ex-fiancé opening his eyes to the world of Yaoi will alway be one of the funniest developments of this series.

Btw, hell yeah the mom should accept that Makino is also dating a woman, otherwise her whole "support" towards the sister was because she had a backup (aka the younger) and not because she accepts her children being gay. And if the dark speech bubble indicates anything, bigoted twats don't become good and accepting people out of the blue.

Tho Mashiro's worries are valid because of her line of work. I doubt that Makino's conservative parents would be ok with her second job, that now after getting fired as "Sato-san" happens to be her main source of income

Let us see...

She just wants sena to take over the family business

I love that she even has a scummy way of coming out to her mum.

Ah... Makino... you don't understand how obsessed Asian moms are with continuing the family line...

(armchair psychologist voice) I have reason to believe Asian mothers force the burden of childbearing on their daughters because they themselves had to suffer that pressure, and sunk cost fallacy about bloodline carries intergenerationally.

That's exactly what it is. "I had to go through it so you should do it too" + "What will others think if my daughter doesn't have children?"

Yeah, a lot of people think that not having children just deprives your life of meaning, especially if you're a woman. And then there's the "you should have to go through the hardship that I went through" mentality, which is utterly insane. I was under the impression we were supposed to leave our children a better world with less suffering, but from what I've observed that's only true as a political slogan. :/

I think this mentality makes a little bit more sense when considered from the perspective of a family/lineage thinking than from an individualist viewpoint. If Makino's mother views herself less as an individual with own needs and interests, and more of a representative of her lineage (which is indirectly supported by her obsession with the family business), her anger at Makino's refusal comes less having had to eat the same crap in her youth, and more from the fact that in her mind, Makino is not an individual, but just another representative of her lineage, and thus subject to the same societal duties. In that case, Makino's mother may not even be capable of adopting an individualistic perspective anymore, since that would entail coming to grips that she has wasted her life on things that were expected of her societal role but that have never made her happy.

I realize now that what I said above sounds a bit like I am excusing Toxic Mom's actions -- I am not, for the record.

Toxic mom continues to be true to her name, of course it would've been too good to be true for her to just back off like that~

I was tempted to call Makino an idiot, but she's handling this situation pretty well so far. Though the jury's still out until the next chapter.

Makino talks too much. Although getting it all out in the open may actually help them through their problems quicker. Maybe even give Mashiro a way to go on without having to rely on her less well regarded job. Depends all on how mom will take it, though.

Yeah she is feeling a bit too invincible right now. Her confidence has served her pretty well so far, though.

And then his next worry was about being a bottom. They'll get along fine and maybe come to the rescue when scum mom inevitably fucks things up.

The mom is so over the top she has gone from irritating to hilarious with the whole tree climbing

IF there is a single thing that the MC inherited from Toxic Mom...it would be her determination and NEVER GIVE UP attitude....[TOXIC MOM HAS EVOLVE TO NINJA TOXIC MOM] XD

Yeah I expected that Toxic Mom would find out [She even paid a private investigator with money like I suggest with her financial power, hiring a private detective cost at least a couple hundred dollars for their time and effort lol]

Yeah...Toxic Mom is not happy to find out both her daughter are into girls...especially when one of them is dating a Prostltute/former one.

Hopefully they can all talk like reasonable adults to understand everyone viewpoints....*Remember MC and Toxic's mom personality*...Sorry Mashiro...your going to have the be the sole reasonable adult huh...Good luck, I am sure you can handle this and get your future mother-in-law to accept you XD

I'm pretty sure it doesn't make sense that Toxic Mom, who started as a hated character and only went down since, would suddenly earn some appreciation from me after climbing up a tree and breaking through the window... But I gotta admit, she just did.

She's gonna have a bad surprise if she thinks Makino is being "tricked" and that "revealing" Mashiro's job will make them break up, but I have a feeling that Makino will come out on top, simply from the fact that for all her scumminess, she's genuine and honest.

Makino never learns how to shut her trap. But by luck she always gets away with it, and I am sure this time too even after her mom climbs into the apartment via a tree, caught them "red-handed".

Man, her mum's hysterical attack was really something eh?
Feels like nothing can go between Makino and her future wife's relationship though. Which is nice.
Thanks for the chapter!

thanks for the chapters!

I'm laughing so hard when her mother came through the window XD She's Makino's mother alright XD

also the chapter is reversed? Like, chapter 68 leads to chapter 67 while chapter 67 is the newest one.

"That woman works as a prostitute!"

"Yeah, I know."

"We've met through it."

"I've payed her with the money you gave me."
