Prognosis: She got de gay. Like, -ALL- the gay.

Nene keeps saying abandoned, as if it was her owners fault for getting killed. Or maybe she was just hospitalized?

I think maybe it's a translation thing, like she might be saying the Japanese equivalent of "abandoned" because that's what you would say in Japanese and it's just awkward to translate in this context.

Or I might be talking out my ass, I don't speak a lick of Japanese. <:D

All true, but let’s not go overboard. It’s great that Kon perceives her father as being nice to her, but the divorced dad who shows off by buying the kid things the mother can’t afford is a classic split-family trope. That’s some distance from being a “decent father” (which * gag * Tazune may be; we just have insufficient evidence for it).

And I agree with everybody else—one of the best timeskip endings I can recall.

We don't actually have any basis to doubt his motivations in buying his daughter her backpack, it's something that a divorced parent without custody of their child would jump at the chance to do regardless of whether they have a grudge with the other parent or not. (So pretty much it doesn't speak for his human decency one way or the other.)

What is a good sign however is that Kon has at least a good impression of him. It implies that he does have a presence in her life and that he hasn't done anything overtly awful or attempted to mess with her moms' marriage. (Which is already in itself a good sign considering how angry he was at everything that happened, justified or not.)

It's still nothing concrete and he could absolutely still be a gigantic cuntwaffle who's just good at hiding it, but for what little information we have available I would say it's not unreasonable to speculate that he may in fact have turned out to be a decent father so far.

As someone with a near identical family history as Kon's, I can vouch that the "Tazune" role can absolutely change for the better and become a decent, even good, human being in the end.

Credit where credit is due, apparently Tazune turned out to be a decent father and is even "forgiving" enough to both not fuck with the gay duo in revenge AND still stay in contact to have a presence in his daughter's life. (Even if separated and presumably without custody of the child.)

Doesn't undo what a shit he's been, but it's great to see a narrative acknowledge that bad people aren't necessarily 100% bad in everything they do or incapable of positive change. Eye for an eye makes the whole world blind and all that.

Maybe after 13 years he's actually a decent person, or maybe he's the same old shit just seen through the eyes of his child who wants him to be a good guy, but either way he's not just some cartoon villain swept under the rug.

I'm so glad they brought up the nails because I have been thinking about that the whole time throughout the manga just being like ooo no those nails are TOO LONG! And I'm glad to know that her girlf is also very aware of this too hahahaha

Gonna suck to be the Gyaru after she figures that out.

She'll either have to keep all of them short despite wanting them long or trim just 1 or 2, but when the rest are that massive she may as well wear a shirt that says "HEY EVERYONE, I HAVE GAY SEX" written in big fat letters. ಥ◡ಥ

Not gonna lie, big sis is a real bitch. The sheer audacity and irony of calling her younger sister "inconsiderate" just for being a nice and decent human being is staggering.

I chalked the first time up to comedy but now she's really just being an over-the-top asshole, this is the kind of behaviour that would seriously fuck up a younger sibling's mental health if nothing intervenes. She needs someone who won't put up with her shit to give her some real-talk.

Well, that was shit. (͠≖ ͜ʖ͠≖)

I'm supposed to believe that that grown-ass woman only weighs 43kg?
Further, that weighing 50-something is even remotely "heavy" for an adult?

Fuckin' hell Japan.

Katsu-san is the ideal we should all strive towards.

I'm not sure exactly what's to dig at here. I don't know if I would call it a cultural obsession to be concerned with your weight. It's certainly a better habit than the Anglosphere's obsession with weighing 150kg.

It's not an obsession to "just" worry about your weight.

In Japan however it's at a point where you might struggle to find reliable records of weights because practically everyone cites their weight as much less than it is. (Allegedly. I'm no authority on the topic so take my words with a grain of salt.)
Which isn't a thing in the west.

In particular fictional characters and IRL idols are often claimed to be impossibly light because weighing almost nothing is the desirable ideal.

The man-eating giant version is pretty obscure unless you're either very religious or a student of it.

Or, y'know, throw the name at Wikipedia like I did.

Which makes it obscure since only people who encounter the word look it up, and it's not something you commonly run into. :P

because she's either a nephilim

...doesn't look like a man-eating giant to me...

"Nephilim" in modern pop-culture is often (generally) used to mean entities that are the offspring of an angel and a mortal, a demon and a mortal or an angel and a demon. (Last one is rarer but does exists.)

The man-eating giant version is pretty obscure unless you're either very religious or study it as a subject.

Japan uses the metric system, meaning her weight probably just ends in 8.
(Most likely, as someone else pointed out, 48kg.)

The whole "I wouldn't be surprised if her weight was really listed as just 8kg" thing was just a dig at how Japan has a sort-of cultural obsession with trying to act like everyone weights next to nothing.

I'm calling it now, the reason the "human" girl is different is because she's either a nephilim or an angel/demon/succubus hybrid.

Her weight is 8?
...On one hand, it's probably just the author keeping the specific numbers vague, but on the other hand, it's Japan.
I wouldn't be too shocked if they were actually trying to imply she weighs only 8kg.

Wow, can't believe she pulled a blackface just like that...!
(I'm joking don't hurt meeeeee)

Did these motherfuckers just censor the end half of "Cockroach"?
THAT JUST MAKES IT COCK! （╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

I've been with two different women who were completely flat. Boy chest, basically. It was very disconcerting, especially the first time.

I would think Kanda has something if she feels a need to wear a corset.

What she feels is called "Denial" <:D

Congratulations Smaragdine, you just played yourself.

Some of the jokes seem to be not treating being lesbian as a valid thing. I'm cautious.

How do you mean? I haven't seen any jokes so far that imply the premise that being lesbian is not valid.

And the winner of the fatfuck-spin-tossing Olympics is...!

Welp, that's just karma for being such a cunt to her sister. (つ ͡ꈍ ͜ʖ̫ ͡ꈍ )つ

Woof indeed lady, woof indeed.

Wow, this girl is the floppiest gay mess I've ever seen.
She's like a disheveled pile of gay panic mixed with a large fluffy dog that doesn't know what to do with itself and it's sog goddamn adorable!

TO SEE YOU NAKED I'M WILLING TO BECOME...

Dramatic pause

A BAD GIRL OwO
