What I want is for Taiyaki to support the thesis, “Given the right circumstances, mother/daughter incest can be a good thing,” by showing us those circumstances.

Agree, that is what makes this series special. She has done a good job so far - particularly managing to make Asuka a massive mothercon, but without making her helplessly dependent or immature (also she isn't entirely isolated/inexperienced, she chose Ayako over alternatives). Taiyaki has also avoided toxic clingy parent tropes for Ayako - as much as she likes having Asuka around, she doesn't sabotage or infantilise Asuka & her first impulse was concern early on when she thought Asuka might be regressing.

Asuka really never thought Ayako would feel the same way.

Honey, you've got a big storm coming.

That's when Asuka confessed to her and she realized her daughter's feelings, right?

There's a moment (that comes in the timeline a while before Asuka's confession) that illustrates even better (imho) Ayako's change... it's the scene where she muses that recently Asuka looks different... strangely cute... oh of course she was always cute... but recently she looks a different kind of cute... what could it be, hmm... then her coworker walks by and comments "oh your bento is so cute, it looks delicious, I totally want to eat it, yum yum" and Ayako spits her drink because she comes to a big epiphany: that's more or less how she sees Asuka now! :)))

That's when Asuka confessed to her and she realized her daughter's feelings, right?

I was actually referring to when Asuka wheedled her way into sharing her mother's bed the first time (at least, first time for high school). Ayako was worried that Asuka was being too clingy, though she did a 180 when given a scare about them growing apart as Asuka grows up.

As for the "delicious" bento incident - we know from having seen Asuka's pov that she was massively (and fairly obviously) "worked up" at the time, getting a sexual vibe off her in the circumstances could have been purely objective. It speaks volumes for Ayako's innocence that it never even occurred to her that Asuka was turned on, let alone that she was the cause.

After the confession - she first tried to convince herself it was a prank, then when Asuka confirmed it, she held together long enough to be supportive. But after Asuka was in bed with the fever we saw that she was actually pretty freaked out. They managed to avoid talking about it until they ended up in bed together again. Even the kissing "compromise" seemed like an attempt to bury it and normalise things - she was taken aback by Asuka's enthusiasm & intensity, and subtly punished her by not waking her up, then was flustered by the smooth "goodbye kiss" the next morning.

I'd point to the kissing as where Ayako's feelings started changing, since after that is where she seems to start surprising herself (eg spontaneously kissing Asuka for comfort after Akira leaves).

Oh, nice analysis! You have a good eye for noticing those subtle details.

This manga make me have a different look of tag incest :))

will there be an update soon? it feels like ages

From twitter and pixiv it looks like Taiyaki hasn't released any more of ch15 yet. I don't think she has given any specific dates either (my Japanese is iffy, and tweets tend to defy Google Translate). I have a dim memory she tweeted something about 'next year' late in December.

Taiyaki just announced she's updating tomorrow on Twitter. ❤️

I do the same. Did you also get Ayako telling Asuka "open your mouth soon, Asuka" ? Because it has me on my feet, waiting to see what happens. I only have the one page that Taiyaki posted on her Twitter. Don't have full raws.

Yeah, I don't know where to go to find the entirety of the raws for this one, either. But yes, I got "Hurry and open your mouth, Asuka" more or less, and lots of smoochin' and doki doki from the one panel on her Twitter. lol

Why not subscribe to paid Fantia plan then? It's only 5$ per month and you will support Tayiaki too (who knows maybe she'll release more often if she'll have enough of money).
