Good one so far. Leaving it at 7/10 until I see how the author approaches things from now on. As of the latest chapter, the nuclear deployment seems to have hit the plot and things WILL get spicy.
Everybody seems to focus on the spotlight unhinged character a.k.a. Touko (the daughter). However, the intriguing aspect of this series is that the psychological nature and overall creepiness go deeper (and spread wider) than her. It's a simple enough situation at a glance, yet there are so many mysterious parts of this clusterfuck formula.
The way side characters get involved in the main story is pretty decent too. No
...
overly complicated bullshit, and plenty of unknown factors to their circumstances or motivations. What's left unspoken and undefined really keeps you on the edge, as everybody has a dark secret or two.
(Except our main dude, but let's see whether it lasts.)
I'm genuinely surprised by how well the author has constructed both atmosphere and narrative. It's miles ahead of the usual cheesiness or edgy approach I've seen with this kind of series.
I went into this with lowered expectations and was pleasantly surprised. There's a feeling of impending doom/dread quite often with 'Okaeri, Papa' and its chapters. Just the way it should be when it comes to psychological manga with a yandere cast in it.
