But...>Isn't this role way too big of a responsibility for me!?>(Kazuki's husband - Emily's daddy)>I mean, I keep screwing up all the time,>so they're probably going to get fed up with me, right...?
>(Sigh...)>This is how you make cookies,>Kazuki.>[Love-struck]>You're good at this,>Emily.>[Shocked]>Th-there are people with acting this monotone...?
>...Director Samejima's offer,>and getting to live with *the* Mikadono Kazuki!>I'll never get a chance like this again!>But...>This is kind of different from what I expected!>I know that we're asking a lot from Yuu-san to go along with this whole thing,>I'm making a lot, too~>but is the acting making him this nervous?>Or is this just the way he is!?>...And what's more...
>Kazuki-san is just okay with Yuu-san's performance!?>(Not even that... She even seems to like it...?)>Isn't this the prideful Mikadono Kazuki who normally puts perfection before anything else!?>Is... Is this all part of the test, too...?>[Emily was utterly confused.]>(*Shut*)>Now we wait fifteen minutes for them to be done.>(*Ding dong*)
>Pardon me.>Mommy!>(Ah,)>it's Emily's mother.>She came to check on her, huh?>Emily...>Have you been doing weeeeeell?>(*Rubrubrub*)>(*Sniiiifff*)>But we saw each other yesterday! Remember, mommy?>AAAAAHH! You're such an angel, just like always!~~

Just who do you think I am?>After conquering the heroine role, my acting breadth has been increasing in strides!>I tried doing it by myself just to test it out,>and I think I've got a fairly good handle on it.>(Oh deeeear!) I'm so talented, I amaze *myself*!>Th-that sounds like you alright, Kazuki-san...!>However...>According to director Samejima, my acting has some weaknesses as well.>Huh?>I'm still lacking...>Which is to say,

>Yes!>"Ahh! I can't take it anymore!>Everyone's so self-centered!">"...Mommy...>You need to take care of yourself, too.">"You're right.>Thank you."
>"Mommy's all right.">Even I can tell...>She's fully in-character...>But even so...>Her brilliance is overwhelming...!
>*This*...>Is Mikadono Kazuki...!>...Just like I thought. In the end,>Emily's reactive acting just isn't working.>Huh?>(It wasn't?)>Somehow, it just feels like she's going through a performance she's prepared in advance...
>She's got all the other fundamentals down so well, too...>I suspect there's something holding her back...>I-I thought that Emily-san's acting>has gotten really good!>From Kazuki-san's point of view,>it might not seem very brilliant yet...

Big 200 next week, huh? Let's see if they do anything special with it.I also got my copy of volume 18 last week. I'll post the extras from it a little later.
Thank you for the chapter ! I hope Miwa will appear in Chapter 200
>>287142357Don't you think house husbands are at their cutest when they're clumsy?
>>287142404Kazuki loves her robot husband.

It's almost like Director made her "objective" to just to regain the childhood and its magic. This is why we had that RealMom little panels I think.>>287142776Thanks for the dump.I kinda expected some envy plot from Yuu here. Child actor with talent and a mom that fully supports it and is there for her. Basically what he didn't have.>>287143173Bold decision to introduce the Yuun owl winner 199 chapters in!
>>287142637Yes Kazuki! Appeal to his affection for a mother!
>>287142776Thx mate.
>>287142637mommy coded. Yuu turning kazuki into a momma!
This week's bonus image. The blogpost said that they'll celebrate the 200 chapter milestone later, so I'm guessing next week won't be too different from normal.
>Not far from there, a gorilla and a pig are watching in anger
Here are the extras for volume 18, starting with the cover.
>Limited extra: ~What if the sisters turned into beasts~>[During his special training for the Saika Festival,>one day, Yuu wakes up to find...]>Wh->what is this...!?>The sisters have grown tails and animal ears!?>(Hmph) We were following your example and thinking about the "heart of the Beast", >but it seems we got too into character and turned into actual beasts.>Is that how it happened?
>Maybe it's 'cause I'm a beast,>but for some reason, the quiet and gentle Yuu-kun...>(*Lick...*)>Is lookin' really tasty right now.>She's not wrong.>If you don't prepare breakfast soon, we might end up eating *you* instead.>Waaaah!?>T-turning into beasts has made them become pretty wild, too!?>Understood!>I'll get on it right away!>But, you guys...
>You got that deep into character,>just to help me practice for the Beast role...>I'm...>Really happy.>(*Wag wag wag*)>(Their tails are wagging...?)>What kind of emotion do beasts show with that kind of movement...?>[Beasts wagging tail]>Idiot!>Don't look it uuuup!>(*Bonk*)>(...Ah!)>(J-just a dream...)>(Just what kind of dreams are you having...?)>The end
>(Image change!)>Hirakawa Aya>When drawing springtime illustrations, I'm always at a loss for what kind of motifs to go with for the clothes. Are there any spring outfits you'd like to see?
>Kazu-nee! Niko-chan!>How do I stop these thiiiings!?>(Bad at athletics)>Miwa-san!>Stop serving customers and take a break! (I got an idea for a photo!)>[Cover Photo Session]>(Now this is something I can do, too~)
>Home 169 ~Student council's side~>The president is surprisingly bold, isn't she?>(Holding hands, feeding him his lunch...)>And right in front of us, too...>She seems like the type who'd get all flustered from being seen, right?>Hey.>Don't go starting rumors among yourselves.>She said it was special training for the play, didn't she?>We should honor her request and carry on like just like usual.>Ngyaaaaah...>[In a meeting]>*Grip grip*>Nope, nope, nope, nope, nooooope!!!>[The student council members were troubled in various ways.]>(Right in front of the teachers, too...)>The end
B-b-beautiful...
>Bathing sistersAnd that's all for today.
Kazuki mogs so hard
>>287144779Miwa is FAT!
>>287144829It means they want to hug.
>>287144928Look at Taira staying stone cold. He needs that skill for the future.
>>287144928That was a fun arc
>>287146002Wasn't it just?
>>287147697It was refreshing to see Himemiya be quite the carnivorous girl
the side bar in the last panel"he hold his own complicated feelings in check..."maybe I'm being delulu here but that and him blushing chapters ago made me think something is coming, whatever it is I'm excited for the next chapter
>>287149074Dont get your hopes too high
>>287148951With a love interest like that, if she doesn't take the initiative, they'll just be friends forever.
>>287152239I'm just a sucker for those kinds of love stories
>>287152905It's good, but the male characters in those stories are always exactly the same. It's frustrating to look at them sometimes. It makes you wonder why these girls even like them, they're so beneath her it's unbelievable
>>287153024I for one like it when the boy is initially a little on the shy side but then mans up and becomes the dominant one later on
