Chika and Family Resemblance

I find the topic of if Chika resembles one of his parents and which one he does really interesting when compared to other family resemblances in the manga and how Chika has pointed them out. So I’m gonna massively overthink things for a sec. 

Like when Chika first met Chiharu he says “you really are alike, Houzuki.” 

Now, he’s only just met this woman, so I assume this is a comment based on looks and her general countenance being similar to Satowa’s. So he’s commenting both on looks and their actual connection to each other as people. And Chiharu and Satowa do look pretty alike as far as their faces and can act in similar ways even if they are quite different in others, so Chika picks up on that. It’s nice to see the connection between mother and daughter in this case. Two people that, while estranged, still resemble each other. (Edit: In the anime Chika does quite literally say “You really do resemble Hozuki.” And I just think it’d be really interesting to have a similar thing happen with Satowa and one of Chika’s parents, either in the positive, or in the negative saying that he doesn’t resemble them at all.)

Whereas when he learns that Momoya is Uzuki’s brother, he says “you don’t resemble him at all.” 

Again, I’m aware I’m probably reading too much into all this, but I take ‘resemble’ to mean not just appearance but that their personalities don’t resemble each other. Chika doesn’t see the same things that caused problems with him and Uzuki in Momoya. This statement is a comfort in the way that Chika states fully that just because Uzuki and Momoya are brothers does not mean he feels Momoya is the same as Uzuki. This was just the connection Momoya was worried about Chika seeing between them, and after only a moment Chika dispels them by saying this.

Anyway, so whether Chika looks like his mother or his father more, it’s interesting to think of the resemblance and what that means. Will they look alike but be completely different people (likely)? Or will there be deeper similarities and mannerisms that are similar? Even though Chika was 2 when his mom left, I still think it’d be cool if maybe there’s some mannerism of hers that he’s picked up and still does without realizing it’s like her, but that’s also banking on the assumption that she isn’t a complete bitch and has some redeeming qualities so some connection wouldn’t be bad. Also could tie in to Chika’s relationship with his dad in an interesting way if he always reminded him of Chika’s mom. And like, I wanna see what the rest of the club thinks of his parents and whether he resembles them or not. Like, what will Satowa think if she sees his mother or father? Will she recognize some part of Chika in them or will she find them very, very different? I want to know what she’d think.

Anyway, this is just a random thought I’ve been wanting to get out for a while.

Chapter Title: #109 Words of Dawn

Chika: After what happened yesterday... Was everything alright on your end?

Side text: Chika taking care of Natsu...

Natsu: Kudo-senpai, good morning

Chika: Ou

Natsu: I'm sorry for not calling

Chika: That's alright

Momoya: ...I talked to Sei for a bit before his parents arrived.

Page 2

Natsu: He said that he won't approach Kudo-Senpai or the club anymore

Chika: ...I see

Natsu: ...

Natsu: Um, Kudo-senpai

Chika: Hm?

Natsu: -----

Natsu: Are you ok with exams coming up? They are almost here

Chika: You idiot

Page 3

Chika: Why would you suddenly pop such a terrifying question?

Chika: I completely forgot!

Natsu: Glad I was able to remind you before it was too late

Chika: You brat...

Natsu[thoughts]: "Would you give Sei a chance to apologize?"

Natsu[thoughts]: This is not something I can say.

Natsu[thoughts]: He destroyed everything important to him. Then framed him for that crime and exposed him to the world...

Page 4

Natsu[thoughts]: Sei's issues have nothing to do with Kudo-senpai.

Natsu[thoughts]: I am sure the only one who would find comfort in an apology would be Sei

Natsu[thoughts]: For me to stay in the club in the first place...

Chika: Hey, Momoya-kun

Chika: You got work today?

Natsu: Not really...

Chika: Great, then you are coming with me

Natsu: --Eh?

Sfx: Tan

Sfx: Ta Dan

Mittsu: Introducing ☆ Tecchan & Takezou-senpai's intensive exams studying session!!!

Kouta: Give a warm welcome to Momoyan on his first participation!!!!!

Page 6

Sane: My sources have told me, that Momoya happens to have really good grades.

Mittsu: I heard that just paying attention to class he has an average of 85 points.

Kota: He is at a teacher's level. He is Momo-chan-sensei!!

Chika: With that being said, we leave Yoshinaga in your care.

Natsu: Nononono, what?

Sane: I'm sorry, Momoya, but the situation is dire. You see, Yoshinaga...

Sane: He said his average in middle school was 40 points, but when I calculated properly, I realized his average was actually 33 points, and 40 points was his best score.

Natsu: ...Are you freaking serious right now...?

Tetsuki: Kurata-senpai and I already got our hands full with these guys

Takezou: It would be really helpful if you could handle Yoshinaga-kun...

Page 7

Yoshinaga: I will be in your care!!!

Natsu: ...

Hiro: --Right about now, the guys must be in the middle of their studying session in Takaoka-kun's house.

Satowa: Momoya-kun and Yoshinaga-kun also joined them

Hiro: It's something I wouldn't have thought of when I met them.

Hiro: But really, I'm just glad we are not falling apart. That was what scared me the most...

Page 8

Satowa: Me too

Hiro: Hey, Hozuki-chan. Why don't stay sleepover?

Satowa: Eh?

Hiro: I will lend you a change of clothes

Satowa: I don't want to be a bother...

Hiro: Not at all! Moreover, I would happy!

Natsu: So, for now on Math. This, this, and also this. Drill them into your head.

Page 9

Atsumu: Yes!!

Natsu: You can just discard all of this

Atsumu: Eh!?

Natsu: The test is designed in a way you can get a pretty decent grade if you hold down the basics.

Mittsu: It feels like watching the old us with Tetsuki.

Chika: There were times like that for us as well...

Tetsuki: Why are you talking like it's any different now?

Atsumu: But Momoya-kun, you are so good at studying! I had no idea.

Natsu: Not really...

Atsumu: Ah, but if you think about it your brother also goes to Meiryo--...

Page 10

Chika: That's right, he goes to Meiryo. So both brothers are smart, huh.

Kota: That!

Sane: Both my older sister and younger sister are good at studying tho--

Mittsu: By the way, didn't you have the option to enter Meiryo?

Natsu[thoughts]: They worrying about me again...

Sane: What are you talking about Mittsu. If he did that then Momoya wouldn't have met us, whom he loves so much--

Mittsu: Ah there's that too!

Natsu: Eh? Us, whom he loves so much?

Page 11

Sane: Hm? You love us, right?

Natsu: ---...

Sane: I mean, after all

Sane: Just looking at your face when we discovered you were Uzuki's little brother. You looked like an abandoned puppy.

Kota: That!!! He was totally a puppy!!

Sane: He looked so heartbroken. That was the moment I thought "This guy really love us"

Kota: I feel you!!

Mittsu: I should have taken a picture of that...

Page 12

Natsu: ----guh...

Sane: Momoyaa!! What is this, you are completely red!!! Bahahahaha

Sane: I am so sorry-- I was absolutely right in everything I said!!!

Kota: Momoyan is blushing---

Mittsu: Guys! Take a picture!!!

Natsu: Wai- Sto-

Sane: Hey, look over here Momoya.

Natsu: Stop it, damn it!!

Page 13

Sane: That's no way to talk to your seniors!

Natsu: Leave me be!!

Sane[flashback]: You too, if you need something, lemme know.

Sane[flashback]: Moreover, I'd like it if you showed a bit more of your lame side!

Page 14

Natsu[thoughts]: ...Ah- Dammit...

Sane[flashback]: We will make sure to laugh at you about it.

Hiro: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH

Page 15

Hiro: You told Chika-kun that you like him!!? That you LIKE him!!??

Satowa: Hi-Hi-Hiro-senpai shhh, shhh!!

Hiro: Aaaaah, so-so-sorry

Hiro: Something unimaginable suddenly just happened, my heart cannot take it.

Satowa: I am sorry.

Satowa: I didn't expect it would turn out that way either...

Satowa: Those guys just kept going on about how Kudo was lonely and not loved by anyone. And Kudo too was just accepting that...

Satowa: ...I got really angry

Page 16

Hiro: And what did Kudo-kun say?

Satowa: Just after that, you guys came to help us

Hiro: aaaah, I see...

Satowa: But today he acter suuuuper normal, too. He might have forgotten already.

Hiro: No, there's no way...

Satowa[thoughts]: That too might not have held any special meaning after all...

Satowa: Even so, I am ok with it.

Satowa: It's such an important time before the tournament. Kudo was able to regain his smile. If the club is at peace, then that is enough for me

Page 17

Satowa: Speaking of, Hiro-senpai do you plan on confessing to Takezou-senpai...?

Hiro: ...Eh? Di- Did I ever sa-sa-say that the person I like is Kurata?

Satowa: Ah, no... I kinda thought that must be the case... Since you said Takinami-sensei found you out...

Hiro: No way--!!! I am so easy to read!? Does everyone else know!!?

Satowa: Ah, no... I don't think the guys have realized...

Hiro: Isn't Momoya-kun really good at reading people?

Satowa: Geh... Bu- But Momoya would keep it to himself...

Page 18

Hiro: Aaaaaaah---- but I see... aaaaah---

Satowa: I- I am sorry?

Hiro: No...

Hiro: I am happy.

Hiro: The truth is, I have always wanted to have this kind of love talk with you, Hozuki-chan

Hiro: Eeeh--- That kind of thing happened!?

Mittsu: Tetsuki's curry is delicious, right--?

Page 19

Hiro: We got too caught up talking---

Natsu: Your are all wrong

???: Chika fell asleep---

Hiro: Is the size alright?

Kota: rock scissors paper to decide bath order!

Natsu: Wait, are we staying overnight?

Sane: Of course!

Kota: ---Huh?

Kota: Momoya fell asleep?

Sane: Yeah-- so it seems.

Page 20

Kota: Even though he kept saying that he never slept at other people's houses

Mittsu: Our voices must have been like a lullaby

Sane: Shold we paint on his face?

Takezou: He must have been really relieved

Takezou: What happened this time must have been tough on Momoya-kun.

Sane: That's right

Chika: But my plushy...

Tetsuki: It's not yours, to begin with

Chika: I cannot sleep without it

Tetsuki: Just hug a normal pillow
