And that's all for today. Swings are fun, don't you think?
>>269228477Kind of odd he hits the mom and the kid still likes him, and if the mom actually was the problem why'd he leave the kid with her?
>>269229302I loved going on swings as a kid and now, and I didn't have the best time as a kid, wonder if there's actually a correlationty op
>>269228510oof
>>269228632this is just like my doujins
>>269229302Thanks OP I used to love swinging on the swing in my back garden until my parents got rid of it, when I was like sixteen
>>269229750It is weird, but not "weird" for terrible households to be like that. I guess the dad didn't want to take care of the kid or knew he would be a terrible parent.
>>269229750Such is life in a world of imperfect, and sometimes evil, humans
>>269229302Thank you for posting.
>>269229302Swings are great
>Yokohama cityWhy do urban people do this? If you look at a satellite image of the area it's all just one big concrete Tokyo area. Why not just call it all Tokyo if it's all the same shit?
>>269229302Thanks for posting.It's weird how different Japan before the 2000s is from Japan from the 2000s. It's like day and night, I wonder what cuase that shift.>>269233537Wasn't Yokohama a separate city from Tokyo during that time period?
>>269228924uh
>>269229302Thanks OP
>>269228404a small detail there, but the paper in the dad's back pocket confirms that he's a gambler
have the last chapter been translated yet?
>>269237479Oh, I was thinking he was looking for a job or something m
>>269237479He just took care of horses
>>269229302>Swings are fun, don't you think?Yes.
>>269237479That explains a lot.
Just a minor quirk, but all the kids having weird proportions and the same face kinda detracts from the whole thing, which is a shame because most stories have impact.I finished this not long ago and since the daily threads started I tried to remember if there were any stories with girls but I couldn't. No idea if the real Mizutani only tried to help boys IRL.
i dont get it. so the kid was NOT trafficked?
>>269241256>No idea if the real Mizutani only tried to help boys IRLIt's pretty rare in real life. The bulk of resources goes to go girls.
