Shit is once again going down. Also I was worried >We weren't going to get a second chapter this month but the scanlator group pulled through at the last moment! Let's begin.
The femboy butler is kinda funny, I wonder what they're gonna do with him
>And you're too old to play with a doll modeled after me. I wonder if Izami is actually more like Shinba, she seems kinda like a manchild. ...Womanchild? Hm.
Really nice parallel imagery with the dragon painting vs the tiger painting. I think the author is a Yakuza fan too so something similar there might've happened in those games with back tattoos... Also, there's a color version of this coming up next.
Shinba is both a fairy and a weird fucked up bug.
Holy shit, Miyabi's chances got a boost at the 11th hour???
There's a lot of good Hizumi reaction faces in this chapter...
I love yuri...
Orochi seems to be trying to recruit Miyabi into the Hizumi faction. Really good move, since Izami also seemed to want to use Miyabi as one of her game pieces
Oh, I might've jumped the gun a bit with the raw page from last time. The "2nd boyfriend" from >>289782285 is actually just Izami's ex.
>That became my formative idea of men and women. There are a lot of philosophical things happening here that I feel like I'm not qualified to comment on...
>When two successful people like that get together, they end up arguing over who has to give in. Maybe a loser who gives in and apologizes right away is simply easier to live with. A lot of things.
Holy shit...
Is this the same theater from the earlier chapters? Maybe the owner knows Hizumi from back then.
Non-depressed Hizumi is maybe the most uncanny part of this. She looks like Mejiro McQueen.
That's a wrap. Looks like the flashback will be extended into the next chapter.
The scanlator also included a page full of story theories, I didn't end up reading through it the first time so feel free to use it for discussion fodder...
>>289782077I see
>>289782482Cute lolizumi
>>289782583Damn, this manga. Every fucking time it introduces some new "girl" and then instead of the usual shit it's some new depth of fucked up to swerve into.
do what happened to dad then? died? became busy with his successful book?
>>289782184Brutal>>289782240BRUTALGeez, like mother like daughter
>>289783128 >instead of the usual shit it's some new depth of fucked up to swerve into. Maybe not "fucked up" persay but different at least. I was kinda worried it was getting to formulaic until now
These Menheras need correction
>>289783841I mean you have to admit it IS fucked up>the whole relationship is her negging him into submission >if she didn't do that she feels like the men she loves would leave her>her mom does the same thing to her
>>289784416 It really is. >>289783392 Very likely that he cheated on Izami after one of his books made him popular.
>>289784542Or it could end up like fences, where izami does something that completely upends the dynamics and relationship they had out of insecurity despite loving gim
>>289784593 Oh, probably. I guess I'm still shook by that motorcycle-fingering motherfucker from I Am A Hero
>>289782092looks like a woman to me, look at the chest and ear piercings
>>289784934 You're right, there's lipstick too. Oh god maybe she's the secret 4th Shinbabowl contestant
Ha ha.
>>289782092>Mother looks youngerWe need more of this.
>>289782118What a bad daughter. Making her mama cry.
>>289782175>>289782184Oof, this kitty got claws.
>>289785259 Nuh uh. She has never done anything wrong in her life. Not a bad bone in her body Does this face look like a bad daughter to you?
>>289782240I love it when an antagonist is right.
>>289782271>Them>As in she changed her dadHizumi was a menace since childhood.
>>289782285The background imagery is interesting. While dad is a butterfly, meaning he became independant, the boyfriend is a catepillar, so he most likely became lazy.
>>289782335Orochi, my beloved.
>>289782384Beautiful MILF in love.
>>289782407HIzumi learning early about SOCIETY.
>>289785373 What the fuck? What does it say in the raw here?????
>>289782456Careful pops. You are veering towards beaten houswive territory.
>>289782482It begins...
>>289782505>Dragging her husband with no strainThe Ashihara women are built different.
>>289785425 He is also a good 3 or so centimeters shorter. Maybe. He's leaning there so maybe the heights aren't accurate
>>289782598Always interesting to see a scanlator being enthusiastic over their seriesI don't like the theory that the mom married Hizumi's dad. It just doesn't that they are compatible. She'll definitely appear one day but I don't think it will be that way. The dad as well though I wonder how he will be changed.
>>289785493 Hizumi's dad, like all successful Japanese authors, probably fingered Shinba's mom while they were riding a motorcycle.
Wait, this got turned into an acutal manga?!
>>289785728 This seems to be a secret to everyone, yeah.
I'd ask which of these types is Hizumi but it's probably rather obvious at this point...
>>289785383This says a lot about society.
Also, which one is Shinba?
is dark dragon just supposed to be d&d why are all the men in this manga westaboos
I wish a succesful hag would look at me like this.
>>289782533She remarked about her mom's poor judgement in men but so far the divorce seems like her fault entirely. Unless in the next chapter he just cheats on her out of desperation but he doesn't look the type
>>289786679real...
>>289782302It's rough watching her crumble so one-sidedly like this, but she's really had it coming for a while now.
If it's actually Hizumi helping her father that actually becomes the primary cause of the divorce that would be insane
>>289786407Year of the Dragon apron
>>289782106>She's 50what kind of god genes does she have
>>289788198 Like Anne Hathaway but anime powerful I guess?
>>289782271is it wrong to say I find her worried/stressed face to be kinda cute
>there's actually a homewrecker that have taking loser husband away from successful wifeI'm surprised that Hizumi's mama doesn't went full yandere and kill her husband. Or maybe she did
>>289788390 Not at all, it could probably be more like an teased/embarrassed face with a few touchups
Still hoping there's a more or less happy ending after all this.
>>289782240>>289782226This is harsh, but true.
>>289782285So, did Hizumi-san really play with shota weenie?
>>289782226>CF confirmed for best routedamn
eh the parents are using "Hizumi" to refer to their daughter i think that's just her first name
>>289782482Damn brat, treating her papa like that...
>>289783392I don't think it was a homewrecker like some anons are thinking. I think it's what Hizumipapa said himself about 2 successful people becoming incompatible + the source of Hizumi-san's trauma.Hizumi-san helped her dad out, he became successful, once he did he didn't apologize as much so that hizumimama would forgive him, they both start fighting and at some point things spilling over and ending up in divorce. Dad became the butterfly. Seems Hizumi is the really supportive type but I'm guessing what happened with the shota looking guy is that she tried helping him too, but he became lazy (caterpillar, thus probably him not appreciating Hizumi or possibly becoming arrogant/or demanding of her past the point of being reasonable. This leads to them splitting, which gets it in Hizumi's head that helping people = bad which then causes her to treat Shinba the way she does which Hizumimama (correctly) points out isn't good.Now it kinda makes you wonder about Hizumi helping Shinba's sister.
>>289789708 >Hizumi's character arc is her learning to verbally abuse Shinba less
>>289783392He graduated from being a loser and realized his wife is a massive bitch that isnt even home most of the time
>>289788502 She's too whimsical and fun to do that...
>>289782077It's rather strange that such a devoted father and husband would suddenly decide to abandon his daughter and wife when he himself stated that they were his sole reason to try to be a better man.Also kinda obvious that after years of living alone with her daughter he feels the need to do something to make the three of them a complete family again.In my opinion, the mother (and probably the daughter too) did something, probably talk too much and be too "sincere " with him, but never realizing what they did.
>>289789708>Now it kinda makes you wonder about Hizumi helping Shinba's sister.Just as she learned, she improved Shinba's sister life so she could be out of the picture.
>>289785388He's already there, down to the need to be independent and want to stand beside his spouse instead of below her
>>289791369His wife didnt even attend her daughters school entrance ceremony. She's been barely for years. Can't even hold a phone call for more than 5 seconds. Since he's a loser he thinks it's his fault, but once he grows some balls he'll probably realize the truth is just that his wife sucks and he deserves better
>>289791968 yeah >>289782518 is pretty telling honestly
I gotta pass out, be sure to hold the fort.
>>289793514Suseri was cuter as a shotacon/brothercon, chronic masturbating girl failure.
>>289795870Yeah...
>>289789167 Probably not. It looks like whatever the left relationship was, it happened after Hizumi left highschool...
Suserifrens were kinda left high and dry this chapter.
>>289782533Holy shit, Hizumi's tits were that big in middle school??
>>289782583>Looks like the flashback will be extended into the next chapter.Author said the flashback will last other 2 chapters and shit will get darker.Next ch. in raw will be out on august 15th.
>>289785383>WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY.Let's not forget Iwaba is a Ryou Minenami simp, so i was expecting things would get fucked.
>>289790425>his wife is a massive bitch that isnt even home most of the timeWorse, Papa may have realized Izami was an evil foid who cheated on him while she was in murrica.
>>289797802I hope she at least got to sniff his wiener when Hizumi-san wasn't looking.
Hot take: if you don't have a strong character, don't become a father. It hurts to see the dad so spineless even in front of his kid, I hope he gets his shit together because of Hizumi's support
>>289799151>I hope he gets his shit together because of Hizumi's supportThe dad gets his shit together too much he ended abandoning Hizumi and his wife.A point in this chapter is that 2 very successful people will end up getting into arguments that can end up becoming causalities for a bitter divorce with even
>>289798103 Don't underestimate middle schoolers.
>>289792723that dead stare...
yeah the mother seems like the deadbeat to mewouldn't be surprised if the dad snapped at the wife over it and Hizumi got blamed for wanting her family to hang out together...
>>289802252 I do wonder how much of this flashback can actually be trusted since it kinda looks like Izami is TELLING it to Hizumi.
>>289788198 She feeds on shota cum to maintain her youth...
>>289789068 Also wondering how bad it's actually gonna get...
>>289798154 >>289803845 boy's abyss was fucking crazy i don't expect that it'll go that far off the deep end. iwaba does too many gag bits to start pivoting into hardcore menhera
>>289805168 It'll get there. I'm guessing the flashback chapters are gonna be used to help ease the change of pace along.
>>289785989I see...
Good morning, /a/
>>289807781Hopefully we get to the part where Shinba shows the only part where he isn't a loser...His big dick
>>289808845Idk anon, given Suseri's proclivities I'd say he has a tiny wiener.
>>289809061Then i can infere from that his stamina is also pitiful.He msy even be a premature ejaculator... or worse, he has innate ED.
>>289806009Let's add.Iwaba said when the 2nd half of this chapter was released that the xmas cosplay chapters were done in an extreme gag sense on purpose because the series was gonna take a dark turn since the hizami debut, and that the mood whiplash was planned in advance during the early stages.
>>289809346Oh man. I don't know how far it'll go, but trainwrecks can be fun.
>>289809309I think he's a premature ejaculator, he'd come seconds after insertion.
>>289787560For me is just the mother shifting the blame onto the daughter in order to get what she wants, after all the effort she put into creating her own company now must feel empty when she has no one by her side.
>>289782077I only read the original twitter shorts. What's the tl;dr story in the full manga?
this manga just turned into gender reverse freud
>>289813682Hizumi (the girl from the twitter shorts) despite her mean words actually loves Shinba (the MC) for his patheticness because it mean he won't leave her
>>289814241 You don't know how many women out there are dadfuckers, it's scary.
>>289813682 this >>289815782 also there was a childhood fried and a big sister trying to fuck MC too but they got super cucked
>>289816171How do you know this, anon?
>>289819997I'm sorry I secretly go to /vt/ sometimes
