Taishou Otome Otogibanashi

I know this it's going to be solved. I know this is going to end up with a happy ending.

But still what that sad excuse of a family is doing is so enraging it almost physically hurts. Especially the little bastard and the sly woman. The father is just a cynical unfeeling asshole but those two take glee in suffering. And that's screwed up.

I too have just binged this (up to chapter 30)and my only feeling right now is

Just binged this series, and I'm hella glad I did. Sooo cuuuuute. I know this latest development will work itself out, not worried there. Our main couple's too stronk

Thanks for translating!

If this is a false alarm, I'll be very happy to apologize. I'd rather have it be true that I'm being too cynical, than that someone is spoiling again for no reasonably-justifiable cause.

That said, fair warning:

The first few words of the next post are

"After reading the raws to the end".

If you're brave/trusting enough to read past there to find out if it's a spoiler, please let me know. (I'm not.)

After reading the raws to the end, I must say there isn't any unnecessary drama, it's just the explaining arc that gives a little character developement/background info of the father and his older sister.

Btw, why is the name transcripted as Yuzuki? It's Yudzuki (as the tsuki in her name gets softened, so tsu becomes dzu)...

I don't know if it's related (no pun intended), but remember this occurs at the same time that half the royal families in Europe have a hemophilia gene, because they were all related and marrying close relatives (to avoid "commoners" and strengthen political alliances). Marrying some other rich person's kid seems more likely, but Evil Dad is pretty Evil.

If it's between cousins,then it's fine I guess as marrying a cousin is an acceptable thing in many countries although more distantly related cousins are recommended and have less risk of genetic problems. Marrying your blood-related step-sibling though. Can't say I'm down for that. Not to mention Tamayo is a sadistic psycho.

Wait. You're saying their father probably want the incest route to happen?

Such a roller coaster this had become. It's bad for the heart.

No it has to be someone unlikeable and of pedigree, so probably his older sister.

They always trump up how tall he is, and he only ends up being 6 feet. Laughing my ass off here. That entire race of manlets will just never learn.

"Father looks... smaller than usual"

Yeah, well @$$holes do that.

Right before they open up and $#!+ on you. (>_<)

F$&% you, Evil Dad. I know you had something to do with that visitor.

I read the raws, but still not glad that the feelings are coming D: 

Fuck you, Dad, and fuck you too,cockblocking cat.

I can't believe the cat cockblocked them ... normally they really make such great wingmans :/ 

Spoiler

Because we want the sweetest ending possible. The bigger the conflict, the greater the happiness we get when it's resolved. This is not a tragedy manga (hopefully!) so we can't have any of the pair dying. The best the author can do is a temporary disappearance.

 

Yuzu's disappearance will probably make way to resolve one of the first and biggest issues that has been around since the start of the manga, which is Tamahiko's $#%&*# dad (and older sister while we're at it). At least for me, if the manga happily "resolved" it the way this chapter did in the brother's funeral, it just feels fake, insufficient, rushed, and weirdly too easy...

 

I believe the dad conflict, no matter how overblown it is, did not come out of nowhere. It has always been bubbling in the background. We're either in denial or just too consumed by Yuzu's cuteness to pay it attention.

 

Anyway, since they took Yuzu away, Tamahiko will probably kill the dad (seriously please muwahaha), take Yuzu back, and become a hero to the villagers for eradicating less-than-human scum. With no other major conflicts left, the manga ends without us getting worried about the couple's future...

 

TLDR, the manga is ending, oh nooooo... That's the real tragedy here.

exactly ... the main thing we have in this manga is the power of Yuzu, I mean love... nah Yuzu, it's the same, the series started and one of it's main points was about the MC gloomy personality and how he changed with the influence of his new friends and a part of his family (the uncle helping in the disaster was a big plus for him too), but the start of it all was the *#/(&("%"(/& Dad, so him being the last obstacle is a pretty good end.

I got the feeling that the fkin older sister did this

Pages 26 and 27.

That ain't no Otome(Maiden/Virgin) kiss. That's a WOMAN kiss. Yeah "things" we're DEFINITELY gonna happen before kitty interrupted.

One of those times where i hate a cat

The focus on the @#$#$ dad was so low at the start that you could write the whole thing off as an excuse plot, at least until the earthquake. Even after then he spends too many panels on cute stuff. Hell, even in this chapter he spends too many panels on cute art.

The whole subplot came so late that it's a genre shift, a shitty one.

It's not about in denial, it's about consistent writing. He should have had the guy recover from PTSD in 3 chapters and then focus on family drama, instead of 15 chapters of basically SoL/yuzu moe/whatever.

Writing conventions be damned, I'm so sick of long series introducing political drama and endless cliffhangers just because writing conventions demand it.
I'll actually take a series of nothing but Yuzu doing chores for 100 chapters because those feel so rare. Probably wouldn't sell, sigh.

Well I already know how it ends (and anyone can predict it, it's simple), so I'm wondering what this curveball is about.

 

I assume it was his father, but why bother?

That cat needs to be disposed of.
