well Shiho's situation is a hard trigger that hits home for me, because I had been exactly her for the first 20 years of my life.....I just hope we find out that she had the nerve to pack up and leave, even if she had nothing to start a new life with at first...and actually Miwa's experience very relatable as well...

gonna be real with you chief, it's not looking good

I like that high school Miwa is exactly the sort of useless lesbian that would be at home in any other high school yuri romcom.

god this is so depressing :(

Yikes.

That "mom" angle looks made up to me. But we'll see.

Well, it might not be physical abuse, but that level of controlling is abuse in itself. But yeah, not looking real good here, especially absent from school...

Not letting your child outside and apparently trying to control them as adults as well definitely is abuse.

I hope it's that instead of some controlling mom, that would be painful to see.

If the mom thing is the truth I guess she's in an arranged marriage now.

Reminds me of Asuka's mom from Hibike. No hobbies, only test scores. Must be a real pain to deal with...

big oof

Interesting. There's a book called "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother" by Amy Chua or short handedly known as "Tiger Mom" (with a TV show of the same name Tiger Mom based on it ). And it caused controversy basically a philosophical fight between laissez faire parenting and "demanding eastern" parenting.

Asuka Tanaka's tale is sad. I hope Shiho's lot is better.

Ah, busted.

I'd be very surprised if this took a Sex Trafficking approach.

oh nooooo....damn I hope senpai is free now in uni ???

THAT CLIFFHANGER? NO. When I'm falling in love with Shiho myself?

Why was the "mom" at the front gate this time, I wonder. I know a few people before guessed that maybe she was meeting and hooking up with a teacher, so I much prefer a strict parent to that. Still not great though

Nah I don't think the mom was hooking up with a teacher. What I think happened and is probably more likely is that she probably received a phone call about how she was missing practice from a concerned teacher who probably thought she was sick. Her mom probably put all the pieces together and realized she skipped out. I don't think she was getting abused, but a tiger mom is one of the scariest things in the world. It's tramatic

Not the mother, people were thinking (myself included, but not with a teacher, cause why would a teacher sit outside of the school in their car) Shiho was meeting with an older man/teacher as Miwa mentioned a suspicious car always waiting outside of the school and commenting how Shiho looks like he has given up on humanity.

Though it turns out it's her mother that always waits outside to pick her up from school, not allowing any outside of school activities. Shiho mentions she's a "burnt-out failure" in the previous chapter, so I guess she failed to get into the prestigious school of her parents choice and is now forced to do nothing but study. Her being at the reunion shows she has some freedom now or has completely cut ties.

Is that content from upcoming, so far untranslated chapters, or just speculation? If the former: spoiler much?

No, just me guessing from these last two chapters.

Lovely chapter. Maybe it's just me but Shiho reminds me a little tiny bit of Saeko, even the way they're drawn and similar attitudes I guess? Except Shiho is a bit more introspective and not all short tempered.

I really hope this next chapter comes out ASAP, I'm so excited and invested.

God I fucking hate tiger parents, when will people realize this shit will harm and stick with their children forever?

Does anyone know where to read this raw? I'm addicted.
