Tadaima, Okaeri Kagayaku Hibi

Very cute. It has its flaws, and this translation isn't quite as good as the other, but I appreciate the person taking the time, regardless. The art is so awesome, and I love that it's just a sweet, loving relationship without typical Omegaverse rape.

I like the unsettling feeling throughout, knowing what kind of man this guy is. I wish there'd been more, though. It's just there and gone, though the implication is enough. Still, it felt like it stopped too abruptly. ETA: Oh, I see that it was incorrectly marked as completed. I hope the next chapter is translated soon! EDIT: What the flying fuck? I was excited to see that it was up to chapter three, but this is not at all what I thought was going to happen. That little kid is like a budding serial killer. This is like a really weird, creepy love triangle. Very disturbing and unsettling. I'm trying to figure out what the point is. The story seems all over the place, unlike her other work, and nothing really happens other than creepy interactions. I want him to just run away from that creepy house and live with his classmate. That kid is totally gonna kill that bird, ugh.

It's a satire of internet trolls. Or trolls in general, rather. These people instigate and find any way to play the victim, purely to screw with people and try to make themselves feel powerful. The usage of random categories like liberal and conservative (especially when he's insulting both, and with no real connection to anything) further backs this theory. It's pretty much exactly how the internet functions and why you should never read youtube comments. Outside of the internet, you can see this sort of behavior in sociopaths and narcissists. They feel weak and impotent, and this is their own, cowardly way to control others without being assertive. Anyway, plenty of weird psychological ways to look at it, but it's nine whole pages, so I probably shouldn't write an analytical essay on it.

Ugh, I love this mangaka already! Why does she only have a single chapter up for all of her stuff? At least the newest one isn't just a oneshot. The art is great, the characters are cute, and I just want more. Mooooooooorrrrreeeeee!!!!
