OWO!!!
WELP...
People that see it before them = 3
Tadano meeting The Matriarch... IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN! AND I WONT MOVE UNTIL I SEE IT... nah, but still I can’t wait to see Tadano get verbally destroyed by the old lady, or at least I can picture it “If you wanna be the man for my grandaughter you need to show some determination and not being the bland anime character you are” but im paraphrasing, anyway ONTO THE NEXT CHAPTER!
NINJA VANISH!
No seriouslly when are we finding out the Komi family used to be a family of ninjas/samurais/spies?
And it was at this point... Akira knew... she fucked up
I get you werent planning to Komi-san but honey... suddenly appearing behind someone that was literally observing you a minute ago IS VERY GOOD WAY TO SCARE PEOPLE!
Huh... the no mouth just big eyes is REALLY something that runs in the family
Okay, despite the strict vibes she had before now she clearly seems understanding and doing her best to ask what she wants/needs to know about Komi-san
Simple yes-no questions she knows she can answer and no need to pressure her more than that. Probably in the future she might get more strict but right now? She is just catching up with her grandaughter
GODDAMN IT MANGA! Now that im used to reading right to left I read that as a Yoda line! (althought that might have been the translator’s intent? who knows)
WHAT KIND OF “LIFE” CARD IS THAT!?!?!?!?!
Also hey Matriarch 1 VS 1? Why though?
oh... it will be interesting for that to happen with Shouko been as silent as she is... then again...
that didnt save Komi-dad :P
Komi-dad (internally): yes mom i know she has a communication problem and that is somehow a family thing/curse but what exactly did you won by rub in my face how a bad parent I have been by letting it happen? I mean, HELLOU? YOU LET IT HAPPEN TO ME!?!?!?!?!?!?
Auntie has spoted a cute Komi-san, beware awkwardness is coming (or at least that’s how I remember how meeting “aunts” in family gathering felt like)
Okay in Komi-san’s case is less awkward and more “I have no idea how to react to a compliment so I’ll just nod”... random idea: bobbing head toy Komi-san
Distance between your aunt and uncle? Trust me... WAY more likely than you think, and before becoming bitter lets see that Shousuke while have no face or dialogue he is also not taking any shits about been pet :P
NINJA DODGE!
OH! They actually have a kid therefore Komi-san (and her brother, though who care about him right now) have a cousin. Cousins are always great! Just like long distance brothers/sisters although usually the closer the age the closer you connect that way, anyway time to meet Akira isnt?
Parallels and perpendiculars?
So now we’re in the Komi household and well we get to meet some family:
Shuuko and Ryouko seem to get along well and be very energetic.
(sidenote: got corrected by @nathansandler, Shuuko is not the actual daugther of The Matriarch, she just called her mom since she IS her daughter-in-law)
Okay... Sadayoshi there... I dunno why exactly but I see him and I think of an older Harima Kenji (anyone ever read School Rumble? that was a clustertruck) or actually reminds me f that Married Yakuza fella from a manga that gets reblogged in tumblr a lot, like if you tell me in the future Sadayoshi is a crime boss i could believe it... okay what’s with me and the weird vibes about the Komi household?
So after the greeting now comes the family gathering and woah...
well... killer and judgemental stares ARE a family trait. (In Komi-san’s case she doesnt do it on purposse for the most part though)
Okay im not the only one feeling intimidated arent I? Something about her unsettles me, is like she is ready to judge me to death
(Worange from the future: chill a bit man... but well she does chew off Komi-dad later so you’re not that far off)
woah... she is Miss Forever 17′s mom? I’m a bit surprised... althought on second thought this might explain everything about how she is extrmely talkative you know?
