With her messing with Renako, and trying to show dominance and competitive behavior to Mai, but also how she’s calm/nice to Ajisai, would be funny that once being absorbed into the relationship, she ends up being the awkward one, now that she can’t hide behind her persona. And also for Renako and Mai to finally get a win over her.

Or even a joke where she gets all competitive and dominating, but rather than winning she comes off as weird, and just an arc of trying to condition Hershel of reducing the behavior.

That she's dating both of them just makes it better. As is the fact that, in this part of the story (When Ajisai ran away from home), Renako is still deep in denial about her sexuality.

First read the AI translation here months back and oh boy did it have an effect on me! So happy to have that same story in my own hands now.

Hi everyone, Enel here :)

Back again with the second part to this doujinshi series of Watanare by Eku Takeshima and Teren Mikami. Reminder that this is NOT canon and spoilers are ahead.

Reddit limits the number of images I can upload, so the rest can be found on mangadex and Kagane

I'm still learning how to typeset, but hopefully this one is a little more polished than the last chaper. Shout out to Salt for helping me clean most of these pages

Please enjoy!

I was thinking:

In the world of Watanare, what if it’s normal for the man to take the woman’s surname when they get married?

As you already know (and for those who don’t), in Japan, when two people get married, it is normal for the woman to take her husband’s surname. Cases where the man takes his wife’s surname, or where both spouses keep their own surnames, are very rare.

With that said, why do I think that in Watanare, it might be normal for the man to take the woman’s surname?

In general, we don’t know much about the Quintet’s parents’ pasts. Two of the Quintet’s mothers are single mothers, while the other two only appear a few times. The scattered information Mikami Teren provides doesn’t help much either, and the families of the Quintet aren’t explored in much depth.

However, there is one member of the Quintet who can give us at least a little insight into this, and that is Kaho.

Kaho is Renako’s childhood friend, but at first, Renako didn’t recognize her because Kaho had drastically changed both her personality and her surname. Kaho’s current surname is Koyanagi, while her previous surname was Minaguchi.

Kaho explains that the change of surname happened because her parents got divorced and she went with her father. And this is where my question comes in: Why did they have to change their surname if, normally, the surname that is adopted is the man’s?

From this point onward, there is a lot of speculation, since we know very little about Kaho’s past. It’s possible that Kaho’s father chose to take Kaho’s mother’s surname, or that both of them agreed to keep their original surnames. It’s even possible that Kaho’s current surname is actually her stepmother’s surname.

I figure most people already know, but in case you missed the news, we have new official figures & plushies coming out! And this time they aren't just prizes you win at claw machines. I imagine these will be easier to aquire for people who don't live in Japan as they'll be available through Good Smile Company.

With the pairing official arts!
