I see the mommy kink is finally on the rise on japan. I think that's at least better than lolis, not that they're bad, but its oversaturated already.

Despite the story being over used as hell atleast this one has an interesting twist and if it does get an Anime adaptation I would most certainly watch it. Smile

The other problem is simply there is no possessive pronoun in the Japanese title, it's, more literally, "With a normal attack that attacks at full power two times, do you like mom?" The implication is that she is asking it herself, I believe, based on ad, so more like "do you like me?"

通常攻撃が全体攻撃で二回攻撃のお母さんは好きですか?


Right, and we can also note that there's almost zero chance that it is the main character asking someone not in his family the question, because it would be really odd to use お母さん to describe your own mom to someone not in your family. It's too polite, you should use something more humble like 母 (haha) to describe your own mother to an outsider. お母さん can be an outsider politely referring to someone else's mom, someone politely talking to their own mother or to an immediate family member about mother, or in certain cases the mother referring to herself to her son.

(For that matter, there's a case that "mother" could be more appropriate than "mom," but that depends on your English dialect. In some dialects "mother" is as stiff and formal as お母様.)

If you don't buy this LN it's proof that you don't like your mom.

So a switch to a rising trend in older good looking woman is not that far out. Back in the mid 80's to late 90's their were a lot of female romantic leads who were mature and older woman for the main male character it is just not as common as it used to be. Maybe this is a bounce back, i mean we have been seeing a lot of retro stuff coming back in modern times lately have we not?


I'm glad someone else noticed aside from me. Now that cougar MLIFs are on the return swing, maybe that pendulum will keep going to the oba-chans that's a little more my age since most cougars are still just kids to us old farts Anime smile

I've heard weirder LNs like Isekai Onsen ni Tensei shita Ore no Kounou ga Tondemosugi – Anta no Naka ga Kimochi Ii Wake janai n Desukedo!?, you want a LN that's WTF, then this title is the one you want to look up to believe. Seems like we're in a milf craze as well in the world of manga.

i don't think it's as weird as the translated title makes it sound. the author is likely just trying to add the parental element in a genre that usually lacks one

I actually really like the concept and the art but I'd like it more if it was a non-sexy mother so there wouldn't be creepy fanservice that's crossing into "my mum is so hot even I, her son, is turned on by her).

It'd be good if the mother got a harem though, because she's so nice and lovely and supportive that everyone just falls for her.

And if this does get an anime, ten to one they'll get a soft-spoken seiyuu, like the purple haired character in Long Riders! and when she wants to gently chide her son, she'll tilt her head, smile, close her eyes, and put her hand on her cheek as she says, "Ora, ora!"


My vote would by for Kikuko Inoue, she's best mum. Also, it'll be "ara ara", unless she's saying ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA while slicing up enemies, which would also be good.

Good to see there's a market for MILFs. I was a bit worried about you, Japan. Laughing


I guess you haven't seen all the mother hentai around...

I am actually more curious of the other works that were in the commercial, but the Mom one looks nice too.

Well, you're need to check the illustator of the novel, who is very known in hentai community - he's now writing very lewd straight shotacon manga in Dengeki G about the "adoptive" older sister... who's basically spoiler[Shub-Niggurath]. And it's based on his own H-doujins series, which he still drawing for Comiket.

"Animate celebrated the novel's publication by encouraging customers to come shopping for light novels with their moms"

Apparently they were hoping for the moms to get the hint, for the chance to see some good old mother-son love blossom.
