Kaguya thinks Unyo Shinomiya is the most morally upstanding of the three brothers. So the other two elder Shinomiyas have to be total moral abysses.

Nothing exciting to see here. Move along.
"Most morally upstanding" in this case means she thinks Unyo is the least scummy of her three scummy brothers, mainly because she can cite at least one good thing about him (he always keeps his promises).

I mean, we know for a fact that Oko (the eldest of Gan'an Shinomiya's four kids) kept tabs on both U'nyo and Kaguya for long-rear end periods of time. Like U'nyo probs wanted to get in on that, but at the same time, he does respect when Kaguya actually takes a stand and whatnot.

Then again, aside from Hayasaka herself, no one else in the Shinomiya households seems to know that the Pres and Kaguya are going out already.

I think Maki knows.

My hypothesis is that her father is a detached, sad old man who can't look her daughter in the face for the resemblance to her concubine mother that he still grieves. Following that train of thought, it is the elder brothers who hold true power over the zaibatsu, and Kaguya's fear of her father is based on her imagined perception of him as clan head.

I've seen someone call him Onion before and it reminded me of that bad Pathologic translation. Now I can't stop imagining Unyo quoting random Latin to me with the most puncheable face.

Both of these landing in the same episode would be possibly the best event in the story to date.

It's basically the reason I went wireless two years ago (I may also have shouted "eat my rear end, motherfucker!" at the person while drunk as poo poo, so YMMV) so I can confirm this. :v:

Lol, as much as we like to poo poo on the quality of the Kaguya Official Doujin, enough people liked it that it went from a two volume series to a four volume series. That's actually kind of insane.

The Official Doujin was terrible until it stopped focusing on lovely fanservice. Once it moved on to more interesting au versions of the characters was when we stopped making GBS threads in it.

Yeah, once it stopped being "dumb cheesecake shenanigans" and moved into "characters being believably dumb in a given AU/setting", it improved incredibly.

Like, for real: The "Hayasaka and Shirogane as a couple of young adult kindergarten teachers" AU is almost as good as some of the mainline chapters.

also, the one where the little kids squirt chika and moeha with water guns and one of them gets his first boner was more than a little horrifying seeing as the author is an unrepentant shotacon

As Maki is getting owned constantly, it is sorta hard to remember that she's one of the top students in her grade + a genius on par with Kaguya.

Shirogane accepting that it's OK to be crap at something without needing to drag Chika into a training arc is possibly the greatest sign of his character development so far.

I'm glad that even though she'll probably never get over the fact her best friend is dating her crush chapters like this show Maki is pretty cool and well liked and actually doing pretty alright.

It also really shows the overwhelming difference between the way Maki was brought up and the way Kaguya was brought up. Their worldviews couldn't be further apart (at least pre-Shirogane).

And the fact that he sorta got better relatively quick by sheer amount of the fact that he needed to do it "live" is also the cherry on top.

Also, the fact that he has a circle of friends who, while all related in their own way to Kaguya (former retainer/valet, "little brother", 2nd cousin twice removed) are going along with him is also heartwarming. :3:
