Typical shoujoshit I'll probably drop it soon.
Called him being evil.
Did I call it, or what?
Man...the tenseness in this one is difficult to take! >_<
Thanks for the release.
You can read the previous chapters on Evil Flowers' website
Been too long for my poor memory, but I can't reread it.
Ofc he's evil. Nobody legit is that shady.
I'm betting yes. Her instinct, which she is resisting, says yes. Her sister said yes. His odd manner says yes. My feeling that he probably
Annddd ... here it comes. Uwah ... cliffhanger. Very much looking forward to see how the arc is concluded - thanks so much for continuing the series though.
Aagh.
Not strong enough clues.
Is the brother evil or not.
Well, well. We were bound to get here sooner or later, weren't we?
I had a smile on face by the end of this chapter.
New chapter. I am delighted. Thanks, Evil Flowers and Aerandria. You always do a great job with a great manga.
Sure, kids'll try it (I've got 4 myself; I should know), but their parents should quickly correct their mistake. My 7 & 4 yr olds know better, and although they still try to get away with something now and then, they don't make a habit of it. The twins clearly do make a habit of it, and their behavior suggests that no one really tries to correct them. In this case, their involvement in their brother's "disappearance" was just sort of glossed over, and he was the one going around apologizing.
I've known manipulative people, and I can see manipulation and scheming a mile away...and I hate it. "Normal" it may be, but that's no excuse for bad behavior.
Thanks, Evil Flowers and Aerandria, for a great chapter of a really good manga. Appreciated it as always.
I believe there are no children in "normal" families that didn't try to play their parents off against each other at least once. Its natural and a process to learn about limits in society. Ethics and morals aren't hereditary. You learn them just like anything else. The only concept every child is able to perceive from the beginning is equity. Though it might not seem that way because their values are pretty different to adults or older children.
So it might seem to a child that some candy has the same value as let's say a golden watch. Well...that's part of what makes them "innocent".

edit:
How do you know you're old? Every second comment one writes starts to be a lecture. -.-
Wow. Already manipulative scheming wenches at that age? I fear for any men forced/tricked into marrying them.
@November Rose You're welcome! And thanks for this great josei manga.
Thank you for all this information, it gives Aerandria and EF a project to look forward to. Also, sorry guys if the updates are slow. I assure you that we are working on this project as quickly as possible. We have not dropped it (obviously) and we have not forgotten about it. I thank you for your patience and support. *bows*

Just found this. Really liking it . . . everyone's said why already so I'll skip my pocket review schtick.
Love Suzu . . . she's not so much a child as a sassy little midget, but I don't care, it works.
Your thoughtful comments are what made me read this manga, and whoa, I discovered a little gem. Thank you! Tsugaru indeed doesn't think like a normal merchant's son. In fact, it's hard to categorise his personality, like a real (complex) person, and that's one of my favourite things about this series. The same goes for Suzu. She's both predictable and unpredictable; it's delightful to observe how she acts and thinks.
When Tsugaru's words of "we share a bond" kept being repeated, I was quite afraid that some trite, or worse, creepy reason was going to be explained, but then I came upon both their backstories and MAN. That was awe-striking. For a seemingly apathetic Tsugaru, I was expecting a deep reason that tied into his principles, and I sure as heck wasn't disappointed! It also showed what a good writer this author is.
I'd definitely rate this title (as of now) 8 or 9 out of 10.
Yeah, I was also thinking "Wait, isn't that her brother? Why's he talking about her 'defloration'?" creeeeeepy asshole, please stay away from Suzu forever
Wait that guy is her older brother and he wanted to buy "her defloration"? wtf stay away from Suzu you sick bastard!
Chapter 13 is out~
odds are the antagonist is the elder brother of Suzu. It would also explain why the "servant" betrayed her. Because the one pulling the strings will always be the eldest son. Granted... fatal error is fatal cause you pissed off Tsuguru so... enjoy your punishment jerks <3.
loved chapter 7
