This chapter made me as angry as I thought it would lol. I know this was the olden days and people were irresponsible with their dogs but I really hope Otto is capable of learning from this and keeps Ruko home from now on but I doubt it. What's also concerning is that Riki is horribly irresponsible too and Ken could still come and kick Ruko's ass again if another female (assuming that's what happened going off what it's based off) shows up.. or they just spat because Roku wants to be left alone. Didn't he imply in the last chapter Ken was aggressive to males in general to begin with? :EMPTY:

It’s wild how casual people used to be about their dogs just letting them wander around like that, and then if something bad happened it was just a matter of ”oh well such is life”.

If the relationship with Ken and Roku is based in real life, I wonder if that was an inspiration for the relationship John and Gin have in the start of GNG.

And while I’m thinking about how Yoshi’s life has influenced his writing, if the depiction of Otto’s mother is truthful to reality as well, it puts an interesting spin on how Yoshi writes female characters. The writing is sexist, but considering what he presumably grew up with witnessing, it’s pretty cool that characters like Reika and Cross are depicted opinionated and verbally standing their ground in conflicts with their husbands and other (friendly) males. Reika is shown to put hot-headed Hiro in his place on multiple occasions while Cross cheers, and the Ohu dogs generally agree on the ”don’t piss off your wife / pack matriarch or you deserve the punishment” when it comes to mundane situations. Of course it’s far from ideal and the overall depiction of relationships and women is super dated and tired, but I think it’s a cool observation that Yoshi still gave his female characters way more agency than what he saw his own mother have. (Granted, I haven’t read Orion and everything’s in shambles in TLW and forward so I’m mostly thinking of GDW here.)

Thank you for the chapter, vanille!

How cute to see Otto taking care of the baby chicks. And looks like Roku wants to be a hunter. Wild animals in front of him.

And one of the grown chickens pecks him on the cheek. That moment is pretty funny.

Seems like everything is fine despite the asshole father still arou-

*sees the asshole father giving Otto an ominous glowing stare*

...Nope. Everything is not fine.

...I'm not even surprised to see the dick father calling Otto out of bed for whatever reason, yelling at him, and then smacking him in the face for no apparent reason. Why isn't that guy exiled onto an island yet?

Back to snow season? Alrighty then. Otto and Roku sure are having a good ti-

...Oh shit. It's Ken. Roku sure hasn't forgotten about him.

Wait, no! Roku, don't do it!

Roku's in trouble now. How is he gonna fight back against Ken? :sigh:

And the cover for Volume 1 is revealed.

https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4537145986? ... 5JVTYQNQE0

It's the same cover from the Goraku magazine when Chapter 1 came out. It's coming on the 27th.

Thanks for the chapter :D
Roku looks so cute in this chapter! God, I hope he doesn't get too hurt fighting Ken, I wonder what they're fighting about anyway, something new from last time?

Makes me wonder why Yoshi/Otto's D-Bag Dad bothered to have kids if he doesn't like them :tfw_aokabuto1:

The back cover of volume 1 has an image of Roku alongside the sledding accident from chapter 1... which is kinda funny since he wasn't with Otto's family (or probably even born yet) when that scene took place.

That poor dog's back must hurt so bad from carrying the marketing for this series.

The spine of the first volume is now revealed right here.

...To save you from clicking and heading in there, the spine is exactly the same as the front cover.

Thanks for the chapter, vanille!

Initial reaction:
Is it just me, or does that look like Roku and Ken are kissing more than fighting? Either way, Roku actually made Ken bleed. Good for him. But on one panel, does that look like Ken is talking?

That's right, Ken. Get the hell out of here. But did he just attack another black-furred dog? Or what is that panel supposed to be?

Hey, it's school time for Otto. That's a pretty big school building.

...Why do I get the feeling that somebody is gonna bully Otto at school?

Thank you Vanille!
Seeing how Roku and Ken fight, I wonder if that's where Yoshi got the inspiration from to when Hakuro and Aram fight, reminded me of that.

That kid in the last panel is definitely a bully. I don't like where this is going.
