What are you talking about?

There is only a girl on the page you posted.

There's an old man controlling her...

>>157612750
Is that really it? I always see pages from this manga in feels threads and always wondered what the context was.

>>157613719
The author said he's taking it to his grave but that seems to be the implication.

Dead daughter. Probably a really really really sad affair.

Just a nice old man who wanted to make life fun for the young high schoolers.

You would think that, but there is also a girl who does the exact samething with a boy doll.

There's a part where they ask if they can come over to Sumire's house and the old man gets visibly nervous and Sumire says something about how it's in bad condition.

doenst need to be same reason.

>>157614890
he probably didn't girlify his apartment which would destroy the perfect illusion of sumire

>>157614978
So do you think he doesn't keep up the act 24/7?

Does he stop controlling Sumire when he goes home?

>>157612140
fucking shitty kids
couldn't find a way to taunt a literally perfect girl so they call her her exact opposite.

>>157616133
I believe they showed it once when he got home.
Its just a rundown place and he kinda just puts samire down when he gets back,.

I get more feels from the actual ending than thinking about some dead daughter I don't care about

>business man
>used to buy his daughter lots of dolls and would do puppet shows for her
>never spend time with her as work becomes increasingly demanding
>middle school daughter becomes ill/suicidal/injured and dies prematurely
>her father regrets never spending any time with her
>makes a puppet that looks like her
>attempts to reenact her highschool life that she never experienced
At least that's my head canon, other possibility is that he's divorced and had his daughter taken to live with her mom. Or maybe he's an old man who never had familial experiences. Possibly a pervert who did it because he wished to be a JK and actually became one. Perhaps it is a great idea to keep this a secret as we will ponder on this for the rest of our lives.

They show in a chapter when Sumire is in primary school

>>157612750
This meme needs to stop. The old man is an enigma, Sumire is the real deal.

Anime adaptation when?

>>157618680
There's a live action adaptation floating about somewhere.

>>157617120
Maybe Sumire is actually alive and is a cursed puppet who used her magic to make the old man into her slave because she wanted to be a real girl so she's using him to give her mobility.

>>157612140
He wanted to make people happy. He wanted to help people, that's all.

>>157619195
How does he have so much influence over the school principal, teachers, the police, etc.?
