>>
>>155029677
When did this happen? I'm only up to episode 8.
>>
>>155029955
A bomb is casually dropped during the last episode, and the extra chapter confirms that Kiku is actually the father. Most people thought the yakuza boss was the father, but in the extra chapter the yakuza boss declares that he would never go for Konatsu because he has too much respect for Kiku, and then we have Kiku declaring that he's going to face Konatsu as "another human being, not his(Sukerokus)child" when she grows older. He's talking to Sukeroku's ghost, and states that he knows Konatsu is in love with him.
>>
>>155029251
but considering how old kiku was when it would have happened. Konatsu probably did most of the work. mfw idiots blame kiku anyway
>>
>>155030050
It sounds like Kiku, Yotaro, and Konatsu are overdue for a threesome then.
>>
>>155030050
I haven't caught up either but is this really legit or am I easily falling for a ruse because the forbidden love is delicious?

Unless she raped him that doesn't change the fact that he willingly fucked her.

Noo. Well, I can't be too surprised, he was already looking sickly by the time I left off. At least he left a descendant.
>>
>>155030237
She didn't rape him. He states that he plans on facing her as "another human being" when she grows older, most likely because he's waiting for her to be legal. She was already legal when she got pregnant so there was nothing wrong with having sex.
>>
>>155030062
I'm not fully convinced it even happened but Kiku didn't really start losing his energy and steam until pretty recently. His hair hadn't even gone fully white yet and he could still do Rakugo the way he liked to, so I can't see fucking when determined to do so to be that heavy a task.
>>
>>155030477
Why couldn't they ever be together then? Just because of Kiku's guilt over what happened to her parents?

Oh, ok, then I agree with you.

It could be that, or it could be because he mentions seeing "that person" when he looks at Konatsu which could mean he solely slept with her because Konatsu reminded him of Miyokichi/Sukeroku aka the two people he loved the most.

If it's assumed that it's true, isn't it kind of weird how little tension there was in the household while Bon was growing up for that kind of drama? They were all living under the same roof where the adoptive dad is the only one who doesn't know.

One would think it would create tension so thick you could cut it with a knife, but Konatsu, Yotaro, and Kiku seemed to be fine settling into their set-up as Konatsu and Yota as the parents and Kiku as the grandpa.
>>
>>155031008
>Konatsu, Yotaro, and Kiku seemed to be fine settling into their set-up as Konatsu and Yota as the parents and Kiku as the grandpa.

We don't know if Yotaro knows the truth. There's a scene where he attacks the Yakuza boss though since he thinks he's the real father and then declares that Shin is his kid, even if they're not blood-related.

If he realizes the truth later on by noticing how much Shin resembles Yakumo when he grows older then he doesn't care. Shin is his kid and that's all that matters.

Plus Konatsu and Yakumo always had a relationship with different layers that Yotaro was never really apart of so it's best to stay out of it. What could he do anyways? They already had sex so it's too late.
>>
>>155029251
I just want to erase this series out of my head now.
>>
>>155031304
You should be prepared for this kind of stuff to happen if you watch a series based on a josei manga.
>>
>>155030740
>>155031008
I wonder if Konatsu might have milked kiku or something without his knowledge? Or maybe she fucked him while he was asleep.

I speculate because while I do see how konatsu might have fucked kiku (I always did get some awkward vibes) I never picked up on any interest from kiku. He seemed to aloof most of the time, and throughout the show he hasn't shown much interest in sex at all.

All I can really confidantly say from what we've been shown is that if something DID happen, kiku probably wasn't the aggressor/the one initiating. Maybe he was just in one of his more depressive/passive moods and he just let konatsu do what she wanted with him. idk
>>
>>155031290
I know that Yotaro didn't know, but things seemed relatively relaxed between Kiku and Konatsu after Shinnosuke was born. Wouldn't it have been a lot more prickly if they actually crossed that line?
>>
>>155029251
Josei authors really like fucking their fathers huh
>>
>>155031562
because LOL DRAMA
>>
>>155031446
It's a josei manga, I wouldn't put much stock in the behavior of the male characters when it comes teo acting realistically. Kiku is basically a girl himself.

>>155031456

It was still quite prickly. Neither ever brought up the fact that they slept together, and they seemed to have preferred it that way.

Just like everyone is keeping a huge secret(the fact that she basically killed her parents) from Konatsu, she's keeping a huge secret(Kiku being the father) from them. An eye for an eye.

Of course. He has the genes of the beautiul Miyokichi, Konatsu, and Kiku. Sukeroku is quite handsome also.

Because he never got the chance to fuck his bro.
>>

I didn't feel that at all though. Compared to how it was in season 1, they seemed to be a lot more mellow by the time Shinnosuke was born. There's not bringing it up, and then there's seeing the living proof every single day in the baby if they actually did it.
>>
>>155031938
Listen, when your bro is dead you take the next best thing.

Konatsu is a mix of Miyokichi and Sukeroku. In a way, Kiku gets to fuck them both through their daughter.

They definitely did mellow out when compared to the first season, but it was still quite prickly to me. I think another reason it was never brought up by either of them is because the author wanted to save the reveal for the end which is what she did.

Sure, he raised her meaning he put a roof over her head/made sure she had clothes on her back/food on the table, but she isn't his kid and they honestly never had a father-daughter relationship; those two acted more like roommates if anything. Konatsu was in love with him in the past which means she never saw him as her adoptive father growing up, and Yakumo realized that the older she got, the more complicated things got be which means he probably never saw her as his adoptive daughter either. When they slept together, they were both adults.

I remember it being brought up and taking it somewhat seriously at first even if I hated the idea, but then they kept re-posting it without any further information/evidence so I figured they must be a troll. It's odd that this series remained so unspoiled (or at least only vaguely spoiled) despite being a finished manga, I guess that's what happens when the Japanese is too difficult for most anons to read even if they're learning moon.

I can't think of their "heartwarming" scenes the past few episodes the same again either.

Like in episode 10 when Kiku and Konatsu share a father daughter moment with her combing his hair and all while her son was playing outside. Now I can only see it as two lovers making peace while their son is playing in front of them.

On a side not I wonder what kind of expression Konatsu made when he came inside her? She was constant lashing out in anger at him in S1. But I guess she like all 2D women succumbed to the power of dick.

Because you are not wrong. That's exactly what that scene means, even if they had sex they realized that their reationship should have being that of a father and a daughter and a master and his student. At that point Konatsu is over her romantic feelings when she was younger and is Yotaro's wife.

Well the show was enjoyable and we didn't have to deal with trolls for the most part in the threads. Sucks any retard will probably only post about this one thing despite how great the show was. I can almost confidently state this is my favorite anime of all time despite that one minor issue.

This "one thing" is a pretty big fucking deal. It completely changes the dynamics between Konatsu and Yakumo, who already have a pretty chaotic relationship before finally accepting each other as he was dying.

Konatsu is taking the secret of her son's father to the grave. Just like Kiku taking the secret of her parents death to the grave.

Maybe it's just wishful thinking, but it's not explicitly stated that he is the father or that he fucked Konatsu.

Wouldn't Sukeroku have been pissed at him in the afterlife if he had?

Even if he is the father, I'm just going to jam my fingers into my ears and pretend it isn't true. Wish they would have just pointed out who the father was without some bullshit speculation.

That part and the fact that there were a few unnecessary characters are my only gripes with the show. Best show of the past two years easily.

Usagi Drop was shit because it was a real father-daughter relationship that ended up becoming a fucked up relationship.
Yakumo and Konatsu would be the opposite, their relationship didn't get worst and instead they actually became like father and daughter after Yotaro clamied Konatsu as his wife and Shin as his son.

The extra chapter confirms that he is the father.

After telling Sukerokus ghost that he knows Konatsu is in love with him, he goes on to say that he's going to face Konatsu "as another human being, not his child" when she grows older.

Probably because you're a fucking retard who wouldn't know a good story if it fucked him in the ass. The incest isn't the problem, it's the fact that great story with great characters was ruined in the span of one sentence because the author has a daddy complex.
>>

Yes it does since the Yakuza boss declares he would never go for Konatsu because he respects Kiku too much.

Extra chapter confirms it hard.

Reminder that Kiku's son is Sukeroku's grandson.

The Boss tells Kiku that he would never go for Konatsu because he respected Yakumo more than anyone, and Konatsu was Yakumo's precious daughter.

And then, many years later, Kiku thanks the Boss for keeping it a secret, and doing him a favor he "could never repay."

I think it's opened up to the viewers interpretation. Just like Kiku made up his story about Sukeroku and Miyokichi's, each of us can make up our own stories about Shin's father: being Yakumo or any other possible father and how it happened. But it doesn't really matter at the end of the day because Yotaro is Shin's true father and Konatsu is his wife.

This should have the opposite effect.

Everything else makes sense to an extent if we consider that Konatsu had an Electra complex. However, given that Yakumo indeed feels responsible for his best friend's death, it seems strange that he would want to have sex with her, even if she did have a crush on him.

if you watch the scene Konatsu tells Yota she's pregnant, she said she came back home to tell Kiku and Matsuda. She says she doesn't want Sukeroku's blood to die out. Also, that Kiku said to do whatever you like. I think she got knocked up by some mob guy. the extra chapter doesn't help because it happens while she was still in rebellious mode and her announcement is when she was working/living somewhere else.

The age gap isn't the problem, the parent-child relationship is the issue. While women may find it more reasonable for a father-daughter relationship to develop, men rarely feel the same way. That's why this sort of story is basically unheard of in male-targeted media, while it shows up often enough in female-targeted.
Asking why people don't like it when it isn't made to appeal to them is strange. Josei series are aimed at women, after all.

I always thought this series was pure trash. Painted Rakugo as this boring shit comedy thing only uphold for pride and tradition. Pretentious faggots pretending it´s good.

Now this happens, guy dicked his "daughter", his brother from another mother´s daughter. Fucking 10/10 solely because it´s making Raguko faggots turn into denial so damn hard is almost sad. Whenever someone brings this shit show up, I just have to point out how the MC fucked Konatsu, and they will do nothing but start mumbling and be quite. This bomb is felt everywhere.

I wonder about the circumstances of this whole thing. Was it just a one-time thing, or were they in a lengthy physical relationship? Did it happen spontaneously or did it happen deliberately? At what point did the relationship turn sour, and exactly why? Stuff like that.

Yes, most likely since this scene happens after Yotaro attacks the Boss for thinking he's the father.

He could also be thankfull because he didn't kill Yotaro on the spot. Or both.

I like considering this the most because its easier to stomach that he'd more willing to fuck her since she's related to them since he loved them so much but he says himself he'll face her as an adult, which sort of negates that.

Kiku fit the old bitter gay man bill so well that I can't even imagine him touching a woman.

>>
>>155038573
He's not touching a woman, he's touching Sukeroku's spawn who has his eyes.

That I'm sure made it bearable for him.
>>
Let me see if I got this right. Kiku is the father, but most likely due to a combination of his own embarrassment and Konatsu's wishes, he can't acknowledge the child as his own. Yotaro thinks the child is the Boss' bastard and that Konatsu was tossed aside with no support, although this isn't actually the case. Boss understands Kiku's and Konatsu's delicate situation and so doesn't do much to dispel the misunderstanding that he is the father, since the truth would be worse on everyone involved.
>>
>>155038647
Yup.
>>
>>155038647
Pretty much, but at this point Yota probably already knows that his Master fathered Shinnosuke.
>>
>>155038573
That scene was probably fake since its farfetched romance crap. Also you know that bitter old homo Kiku liked making Miyokichi feel like crap about her love for him since he felt crappy about himself. Kiku's more selfish than a lot of people think.

>>155038647
I think it's interesting that it may have been Konatsu who prohibited Kiku from becoming a father in name as well. If she didn't want him to acknowledge her son as his own, that casts a lot of ambiguity over their past relationship. I mean, she liked him enough to conceive a child with him, even if it was most likely an accident, but she didn't want it to be known that the child was his and she didn't want to continue a relationship with him even for the sake of her child.

It raises a lot of questions. It'd be nice if there were answers.

It's not, you just want to believe that because of your disgusting fetish, incest is incest and Kiku and Konatsu were both adults when that shit happened, so it's not even like the father figure took advantage of his foster daughter.

He was never a father figure though? Those two have like three daughter-father scenes in the series and one happens when she's a little girl. They acted like roommates most of the time, and he wanted her to hate him; far from what any father would want from his kid.
>>
Okay but how the fuck was Konatsu in love with Kiku? I know that it was for the melodrama but the explanation is so bullshit. They were constantly at each other's throats and any self respecting person wouldn't be in love with or indulge in sex with someone who they are entirely confident killed their own father. I can't understand that logic at all and the "love is weird" and "people have crazy emotions" excuse doesn't hold because this situation is entirely unrealistic even down to biology. Kiku is an old fuck and men become impotent pretty quick with old age. The Konatsu in the extra comic is so out of character from usual. The usual Konatsu is all piss and vinegar, even from childhood, but the special chapter which justified the twist was all tsundere. I hate that the author turned to such a poor plot device for not good reason.

This shit is getting old, he was a father type all along. They had plenty of father daughter scenes together when Sukeroku was still alive and she was a child. Everyone else in the series views them as a dysfunctional family unit. Don't justify this horseshit "twist" with your deviant pleasure.

Konatsu fucked Kiku because he knew her father was homo for him when he died and gave him the child he could never conceive due to his bodily constraints. It was entirely out of pure familial love that they copulated and made Shin.

Is actually worse than incest. Brother and sister is okay, father and daughter is not. NBR means nothing. This is wrong on so many levels. Almost feel sick.
>>
>adopted daughter
>technically not incest

Apparently everyone here is stupid, but if you adopt a kid, you legally cannot fuck it even as an adult. It's your child. It's legally incest. The reason why no one could know is because Kiku would have been arrested. And yeah she is definitely adopted because she was an orphan from when Sukeroku and Miyokichi died and lived with Kiku her entire childhood.

tl;dr it's wrong

Shit happens. You will make very bad mistakes in your life and there's nothing you can do to stop that. Those two had an extremely complicated relationship, and while I'm not saying what they did is right, because it's definitely messed up, I found that one of the main messages of Rakugo was that all your sins will eventually melt away in the end and you will be able to find peace.
>>
>>155040545
It doesn't even matter if it's legal or not. The fact of the matter is that he took the responsibility of her upbringing, despite what some idiots here claim on the contrary.
>>
>>155040556
It wasn't perfect even before this but it's shit that this is the only thing people will talk about, specially shitposters.

>>155040591
It wasn't melodramatic at all, the only ones doing a drama out of this are the viewers.
>>
>>155040584
I think people are more okay with it since they are young and can imagine having a hot sister would be nice. Also parental figures turning into lovers is not common enough in media for people to feel okay with it yet.
>>
>>155040478
Oh fuck off, this isn't a matter of maturity. The series crossed a line and damaged our image of a main character and an important relationship dynamic. People are understandably upset, it was a shitty bomb to drop in the finale and it has left a bad taste in our mouths. There's no way for them to actually explore the issue now that the series is over, it was just a cheap and uncomfortable plot twist, not mature drama for mature people.

If we were immature about serious drama we would've dropped it back when Yotaro married a single mother.
>>
This doesn't really affect my enjoyment of the show. You can have interesting and engaging characters even if they do something you don't agree with.
>>
>>155040631
yeah, because they're incestual. nobody here thinks they're wrong for liking brother/sister incest. that's how different minds work.

Did old timey Japan have laws that criminalized Hikaru Genji's school of parenting?

So they are a bunch of virgin only sons who don't understand what is to live with a sister.
>>
>>155040635
I thought the main message was trying to bring attention to Rakugo and for the mangaka to draw out her incest fantasy.
>>
>>155040726
Yeah but what if they do something that makes no fucking sense? How can I take them and their acts seriously when stuff like this would only be explained by them basically being mentally retarded.
>>
I think this makes the show so much more interesting. I want to rewatch and see how certain scenes are different knowing what we know now.
>>
>>155040556
Maybe if you didn't watch this show like a soap opera, you wouldn't have missed its messages. Who Shin's father is ISN'T IMPORTANT since he's still Yota's son and a part of that family. This isn't Jerry Springer. Yes Yakumo did a weird thing, but no good characters are perfect

>>155040692

>>155040726
No you dumb faggot. This is just some creepy shoehorned erotic fantasy that had no place in it. 10/10 turned into a 4/10. I can never rewatch this again.
>>
>>155040798
Of course it's fucking important. It completely changes the character dynamic between Yakumo and Konatsu.
>>
>>155040775
Because it's implied, nobody said it's actually true, and even if it's true, what I think it is, we don't know how things came to it. You don't know if it was a one time only thing or if there was a romance or even if Yakumo knew it.
>>
This theory is fucking retarded because the pregnancy happened when Yakumo was an old man, and Konatsu had already moved out of the house and started living her own damn life. She explicitly said she was only infatuated with Kiku in her youth, and that infatuation wasn't even clearly romantic, it was a bunch of mixed up feelings which she best described as romantic. On top of that, this theory comes from a crackpot whose known for making up a bunch of vaguereries and bullshit.
>>
>>155040912
>just assume a bunch of stuff happened that we didnt see that would make this all logical

Yeah how about no, how about I go with what was shown.

>>155040859
>he fucked his foster daughter.
Yep, he did. Right in the pussy, Sorry he's not your perfect Yakumo-sama to you anymore. How will the Rakugo world ever recover?

>>155040900
It doesn't change the dynamic that was aready there, it sheds more light
>>
>>155040798
You are the one watching it like a soap. We are all discussing an important reveal that is regarded by most as a big flaw in the show while you go cray cray defending the show to be brilliant it like no tomorrow.
>>
>>155040918
Konatsu always lived at home with him even into adulthood, but otherwise yeah its busted.
>>
>>155040798
This argument could almost have some merit if they didn't reveal this at the last fucking second. If a character does something wrong, they need to grow and learn from it and the audience needs to watch their development for that redemption and understanding to take place. I don't actually think Kiku fucking Konatsu is such an unbelievable development. I wouldn't like it, but if it was revealed earlier in the story at least we could have had some explanation and catharsis at the end as we see them address and move on from it. This way all we can do is wonder what the fuck happened and what does it mean for the characters?
>>
>>155040882
You already watched it too late to bitch about it now.
>>
>>155041000

You're being ridiculous. We're not talking about some minor character flaw here.

It goes back to this >>155040775
If you think the show is better now that we have to assume everyone in it is a broken human being and all their actions are meaningless and akin to the random acts of madmen, that's on you.
>>
>Rakugo will hence forth be known as the show where the guy raised a friend´s daughter to later get her preggo with his dick
Love it.
>>
The reason why so many anons here are peeved is because it is a character flaw that they didn't grow from - in fact, the characters didn't even see it as a mistake. Everyone played coy about it up until the end when something like this is a bombshell. That's why I'm bothered by it because it would be one thing if it was addressed and moved past, but the characters themselves just ignored it until the dude croaked and then got a good ol' laugh about it 20 years later.

"muh they had a daughter and father type relationship"

No they didn't; they don't even many father/daughter moments in general and most of those take place when Konatsu was younger, before the death of her parents. After the tragedy, their relationship becomes strained and complicated and Matsuda acts more like her father while she's growing up. Yakumo obviously didn't see her as his adoptive child and the same could be said for Konatsu while growing up since they obviously had no problem sleeping together once she became an adult. Too many of you are forcing your morals onto the characters especially Yakumo.
>>
>>155041205
It's still weird having sex with someone you watched grow up. It doesn't matter what type of relationship was had prior. It's just fucking weird.
>>
>>155041173
Stop misconstruing things. You can discuss it, it fact that's the intention behind the vague reveal. But stop acting like it r"ruins the show" you fucking drama queens
>>
>>155041128
To me the fact that no one talked about it indicates that it was a huge mistake. I mean, if you commit a crime you don't talk about it, when Konatsu talks in the last episode it's all in the past so it makes sense they didn't make a big deal out of it, specially because everything ended up right.
>>
>>155041205

I still fail to see how any of this is an issue. Characters don't need to grow from their flaws. If anything, most characters (in all forms of art) are intrinsically tied to mistakes they can't undo.

This is a case of misplaced expectations on your part than any fault of the show.
>>
I hate, hate, hate this fucking revelation, but Shinnosuke is so beautiful it physically hurts. Never before have I loved MPreg this much.

>>155041297
I might be mistaken, but they do live with Yakumo as a family unit. That's why they're always at his house.
>>
If you find the new revelation disgusting, you should fuck off from /a/
>>
Not only is the author sexist enough to destroy her female main character and disregard her mental state to let the fujo pair come through in a twisted way, she sidesteps Konatsu's performance and erases all the previous female rakugo performers who were historically masters before Konatsu.
>>
>>155041205
This is such a ridiculous line of argument. They didn't have a perfectly loving familial relationship, but we still saw Kiku taking care of her as a child and we saw them becoming closer as adults in a seemingly platonic, loving way. You don't watch a grown man cut a little kid's hair and think 'oh, this is totally dissimilar to how a parent would treat a child, I hope these two fuck some day'. Any sane person would take them as a pseudo parental relationship with some problems, he is her guardian and that's the default role he would take.

If the series showed sexual tension between them, THAT would stop them seeming like father and daughter, but it didn't.
>>
>>155041249
>STOP HAVING DIFFERENT OPINIONS THAN MINE

>>
>>155041371

>>155041205
>they obviously had no problem sleeping together once she became an adult
I don't think they had no problems with it.
>>
>>155041308
It's not that they have mistakes that they cannot undo, it is moreso that the mistakes are seen as not a big deal. They've manipulated you into thinking its not a big deal merely because the characters themselves don't think it is.
>>
>>155041128
This. The fact that no one talked about it makes it seem like the author feels it isn't important. There is no implication that it was wrong/uncomfortable for the characters to deal with, and that's what makes it a shitty piece of writing
>>
>>155041387
>we saw them becoming closer as adults in a seemingly platonic, loving way
After the birth of Shin.
>>

>>
>>155041416
>nobody is saying Konatsu and Kiku did a good thing

Ok
>>
>>155041308
The expectations come from what the show gave us. She knows that Yakumo didn't kill her parents, even if he feels responsible, but believing it is an easier way to deal with the loss. Yakumo takes the blame onto himself for the same reason; to make Konatsu's life easier. How the hell does one imagine these two fucking with the circumstances presented? That's why it has to be something that's explained, not just a throw-away line in the last episode.
>>
>>155041308
>misplaced expectations
God, you're probably the moron who keeps telling people they're projecting and that's why they're at fault for not liking the twist. The audience is not at fault if the mangaka cannot align the relationship she conveyed with the plot developments she writes. It is not in any way unreasonable to expect a main character who we're supposed to like and empathize with to grow from his mistakes.
>>
>>155041483
They are just shitposters. What annoys most of the anons it's that people act like this was that important for the plot when it wasn't.
>>
>>155041273
We don't even know what happened after they slept together, but the fact that neither of them ever mention it-even when they're alone implies that it's something they don't want to talk about it; what's done is done. Maybe after sleeping with him Konatsu realizes it was a mistake, and maybe Yakumo realized the same or maybe they did it a few more times; no one knows and we never will. The mangaka obviously didn't see a problem with adding something like this into the story.
>>
>>155039829
No, it did the opposite of Usagi Drop. In the end, it turned into a father/daughter relationship.
>>
>>155041537
Nobody gives a shit about the plot, it's a character drama. People care about the characters and something like this is a big fucking deal for them.

Definitely not especially since we got hints here and there.
>>
>>155041553
And how is this ambiguity satisfying in the slightest? This isn't some minor loose end, honestly I'd go as far as to say this is the fucking most important aspect of the series. There's so many characters and relationships and so much history at play, it's fucking ridiculous to drop this bombshell and then go "THAT'S ALL FOLKS".

And as things are, it just make sthe show worse because as many people have pointed out, there are endless reasons as to why this action makes little sense for Konatsu or Yakumo and as such, it simply undermines their believabilty as real characters.
>>
>>155041608
More like
>ew, turning a heartwarming relationship into something creepy and awkward with no time or effort spent to redeem the characters makes me feel differently about characters and relationships I previously enjoyed when they were portrayed in a completely different light

Why are people so desperate to avoid blaming the mangaka for what was clearly a poor, misguided choice? The series is not bad at all, people wouldn't react so strongly if they didn't love it and think this is a stain on an otherwise great story.
>>
>>155041576
>People care about the characters and something like this is a big fucking deal for them.
In the scope of the show, it's far from a "big fucking deal". Konatsu and Kiku had a complicated relationship, things got weird one night, and then they both left the event behind forever

>>155041876

I'm not questioning their fucking morals because incest, I'm questining their actions because they have no fucking reason to be sexually attracted to one another.
>>
>>155041856
>>155041882
Yes, it was only heartwarming towards the end which is why, if the mangaka absolutely HAD to insert an unpleasant sexual dynamic into the story, it should've been done chronologically so the audience can see their relationship develop into something better and more platonic rather than reveal it at the end so it's the last thing we learn about them.
>>
>>155041944
You can fuck someone and not be sexually attracted to them.

I thought it's a great way to tie up this story. Fucked up, but interesting.

I don't care how "distant" their relationship was. My grandfather was distant as fuck from my mom, and she still feels the pain of having him not in her life. That doesn't change the fact that he was the man who raised her from childhood, you nincompoop

She obviously had a thing for older men since she had the hots for the Boss. It's a bit funny because Konatsu hates being compared to her mother, but she fell in love with the same man that her mother fell in love with when she was her age.

Kiku was pent up about her mom. She's not just any random girl. She's the daughter of the woman he loved.
>>
>>155042137
No I'm saying some people don't conceive of their distant legal guardians as parents, not even a tiny bit.
>>
>>155042140
>She's the daughter of the woman he loved.
This is literally the case with the vast majority of fathers and daughters in existence. You can't seriously think it's a logical justification.
>>
>>155042090
>That makes even less sense because they would be even less likely to fuck one another if they had such a clear mind to set that up.
yet kiku states in the extra chapter that when she grows older, hes going to face her a "human being"

it comes across like he was planning on confronting her about her feeling towards him when she became legal
>>
>>155042138
How? I mean let's be real here, I think them fucking makes zero sense, but one remote possiblity is that they both got drunk or something and it just sort of happened.
Them agreeing in advance and doing it "like a business transaction" makes no fucking sense because, as seen by them denying it afterwards, it's a bad fucking idea for them to fuck. They wouldn't agree on and plan it beforehand.

Are you retarded?
>>
>>155042069
Why are you being a pussy about it? People do messed up things in life, especially when your life has been as traumatic and tragic as those two's. You have been Bon who has all these feelings regarding Miyokichi and Sukeroku, and then their daughter who was obsessed with carrying on her father's bloodline in the best way she could. Most anime don't have the level of maturity to even cover complex things like this
>>
>>155042192
>fathers and daughters in existence.
They aren't fucking father and daughter and they didn't have that kind of relationship until she got much older. Kiku even states that he left her alone most of the time while growing up.
>>
Konatsu could have gotten Kiku drunk, and made him think she was Miyokichi. Kiku would have written it off as a nightmare or a huge mistake.

That probably makes the most sense, since Kiku does not seem terribly fond or attracted to Konatsu, and they have a very tense relationship because of his feelings for Miyokichi. When Konatsu talks about it, it sounds like a pretty single sided decision.
>>
>>155042192
They aren't related you dolt. He wasn't even a father to her. Apples and oranges

>>155042063
Does it matter now? She and Yotaro have a good thing going on and she clearly cherishes that a lot.

So she put on a wig and kimono?

>>155042237
Dude, I am not saying that this is not an interesting development, just that it was handled in a garbage way. The mangaka chose to throw this in like an easter egg reveal. This is a topic that should've been explored and examined within the main plot itself to be treated in a complex way. Right now it just feels fetishistic and stupid
>>
>>155042278
>>155042253
How the fuck does it make any difference? It's not going to give them a retarded baby, but he still raised her from childhood. If raising a kid who looks like their mother means you're morally justified in fucking her, then god help us all.
>>
>>155042290
This is the point all the forced controversy shitposters are missing
>>
>>155042301
Also pretty sure this was in a few chapters of Berserk for example.
>>
>>155042224
They don't deny it afterword. In episode 2 Kiku almost rubs it in her face and mocks her. He just is disquieted by the actual baby. They obviously don't reveal it publically, but it is clear from the way they behave that it is an unspoken agreement between them mostly because Konatsu really wanted a baby with him.

Watch the episode when Konatsu announces the pregnancy. Watch Kiku's face when Matsuda talks about it. It was a planned thing.
>>
>>155042254
I think you're just trying to absolve Kiku.

Not that it matters since the thread is dying, but seriously what the fuck.

Yes people do retarded things in life and learn from their mistakes. The problem is this was presented at the very fucking end of the series out of nowhere with absolutely no development whatsoever.

I love Rakugo. I'm still in the middle about the father thing. But insinuating such a thing at the last episode is not covering anything. It really stains the rest of the show, or at least every moment with Kiku and Konatsu together.
>>
>>155042189
That doesn't mean that they fuck them. You're equating the platonic nature of a relationship as the means to a sexual one. I don't know what kind of kid would grow up to want to fuck the parental guardian that was distant and absent from their life. That's so goddamn unlikely and awkward, and you're trying to justify it as if it's the healthy response

No, characters did fucking retarded thing with little to no motivation and as such their crediblity as believable characters is damaged and this coupled with the fact that the twist serves little to no purpose in terms of elevating the series (even the best its defenders can say is "it doesn't matter") means the show is bad.

It's Konatsu, who fucking pushed her mom off a balconey. She's not a healthy individual, and guess what, she grew up to want to fuck her guardian. Not to get all tumblr but inappropriate hypersexuality is a normal symptom of people who have experienced fucked uobthings in childhood.

"Hey man they're just really messed up people" is the character drama equivalent of "a wizard did it". It's hacky shit.
Characters should have believable motivations for their actions unless you want to establish them as mindless crazy people.
>>
>>155042388
The way it was handled was objectively bad writing, as people have explained over and over throughout the thread.

In any case, writing a flawed character is one thing, but some flaws are too much for a character to remain likable. This is one of those things. If the author wanted us to keep liking Kiku at the end, this was the wrong way to go about it. If she wanted to turn him from a flawed but still decent person to a flawed and unredeemed bad person and make us lose a significant amount of affection for him, then she succeeded. Somehow I doubt that was her intention.

Do you stop being attracted to people once you enter a relationship? If you mean finding him hot then she probably does, but I think she got over her feelings for him the more she got to know Yota.

Some choice quotes

>Father–daughter and stepfather–stepdaughter sex is the most commonly reported form of adult-child incest, with most of the remaining involving a mother or stepmother.[66] Many studies found that stepfathers tend to be far more likely than biological fathers to engage in this form of incest. One study of adult women in San Francisco estimated that 17% of women were abused by stepfathers and 2% were abused by biological fathers.

>Prevalence of incest between parents and their children is difficult to assess due to secrecy and privacy.

>11% of rape victims are raped by their fathers or stepfathers, and another 16% are raped by other relatives

>A study of victims of father–daughter incest in the 1970s showed that there were "common features" within families before the occurrence of incest: estrangement between the mother and the daughter, extreme paternal dominance, and reassignment of some of the mother's traditional major family responsibility to the daughter. Oldest and only daughters were more likely to be the victims of incest. It was also stated that the incest experience was psychologically harmful to the woman in later life, frequently leading to feelings of low self-esteem, very unhealthy sexual activity, contempt for other women, and other emotional problems.

>Adults who as children were incestuously victimized by adults often suffer from low self-esteem, difficulties in interpersonal relationships, and sexual dysfunction, and are at an extremely high risk of many mental disorders, including depression, anxiety disorders, phobic avoidance reactions, somatoform disorder, substance abuse, borderline personality disorder, and complex post-traumatic stress disorder.

Why is everyone forgetting that Sukeroku was a slut too, fucked tons of girls and whores and made a move on his bro's girlfriend? It's not only Miyokichi who passed the slut genes on to poor Konatsu.
>>
>>155042624
None of this can be applied to Konatsu and Kiku since Kiku wasn't raping her and he wasn't an abusive guardian
>>
>>155042537
>is she still attracted to Kiku?
No.

>Is she fine with living a lie in front of her husband until death or divorce do them part?
Her husband also keeps a secret from her and it's not like he thinks Shin is his biological son, and he probably already knows just from seeing how much Shinnosuke resembles Yakumo now.
>>
>>155042661
>Why is everyone forgetting that Sukeroku was a slut too
Even in the afterlife he was still fucking around, and Miyokichi even yelled at him for it since he would spend a ton of the money she earned.
>>
>>155042654
>I don't take traumatized people seriously
Just because it's unhealthy doesn't mean it's shouldn't be taken seriously. You seem too immature to know the difference.

You stupid motherfucker
I am not saying it couldn't happen. I'm saying that the mangaka is a shitty writer who threw this garbage in with no lead up at all. This is an issue that should've been dealt with and explored in the main story. She tossed it in at the end like it was nothing. You goddamn moron

Good thing the mangaka took the time to build up the sexual/romantic aspect of Konatsu and Kiku's relationship, explore the reasoning and consequences of it, and convey a clear and complete character arc to resolve the issue then, right?

Oh wait, she didn't fucking do that, she established and concluded the entire plot point in a few lines of dialogue at the very end of the series.
>>
>>155042754
It was hinted at though.

Konatsu definitely initiated the entire thing, and you know it. She's just as sly as her parents when it comes to getting her way.

Not even him but you cannot expect to take these characters seriously if in one scene in the last 5 minutes of the series the characters are suddenly made to be caricatures instead of believable individuals who make mistakes and learn from them. This whole plot point would have been acceptable if it was presented earlier in the show and actually developed upon instead of just slapped on at the very end and calling it quits.

It's Kiku's fault and there's no going around this. You won't put the blame on the female character this time fujo.
>>
>>155042739
It was objectively bad writing because of how it was handled rather than the actual nature of the plot point. Their sexual relationship dynamic is incongruous with the rest of the series and leaves the audience unable to reconcile the characters they knew with this new information. It was an unsatisfying and incomplete point of conflict that wasn't explored anywhere near it needed to be for how huge of a deal it is.

It would be good writing of flawed characters if their sexual relationship was set up early in the series and the end of the series was used to resolve it rather than reveal it.
