I'm missing a cultural context with the parents thing, I've never been to a Japanese wedding, but I know some of the guest etiquette from friends, so just that aspect alone is expensive af. How does the number of guests distract or diminish how important the parents are? Traditionally, guest that aren't immediate family aren't even part of the Shrine ceremony, like they watch from a distance so having that many guest just means more witnesses, but considering their venue they're not even doing a shinto ceremony (from what i remember) so im confused on why this is the issue she's sticking to and not what it really is - that they have over 300 guests.

To follow up on this w them working out this guest list issue... again, why are they so stuck in their parents sitting so far from them. There's like sit your parents by your table? Problem solved where does it say they have to sit far from you if you're making the seating arrangements -_- (I'm unnecessarily focused on this detail cause it's such a dumb issue)

We're heading in a downward spiral into an even more toxic codependent relationship that will only end with the death of one or the other or both. The fl def has a better chance of living if yo-chan dies first, cause he's pretty much made it clear if she dies he'll die too and I don't doubt that with the way he's going. And I don't see him getting better with the way she's enabling him. So at chapter 19, I think I'm calling it quits here, but feel free to let me know when this ends cause I still wanna know how this trauma laced toxic relationship resolves itself if it does at all.
╥﹏╥
