"But He Has a Fiancee! That's So Sleazy!" is the twenty-first chapter of The Cuckoo's Fiancee manga series.

Summary[]

Despite Erika's unfazed reaction to the situation, Sachi was frustrated and furious that Nagi went on a date with another girl (Hiro) while already having a fiancee (Erika). She decided to go outside to vent out her frustration after Erika persuaded her out of ignoring Nagi for a whole month; Erika tagged along.

They went for recreational activities at the batting cage and bathhouse; in both case, Sachi remarked on Erika's ridiculous antics and incognizance to these activities, solidifying her status as the "Rich Girl". In the end, they were both grateful of the 'miracle' which allowed them to meet each other, and Sachi understood that she should cherish the moments with her family as much as possible before they are gone.

While Nagi and Sachi conversed about Nagi's date over Sachi's special hamburger, Erika was seen texting her 'mom' to go to the bathhouse together sometimes; it is unknown which mom she's talking to.

Chapter Notes[]

  • Sachi finally knows the existence of Hiro.[page 4]
  • Erika believes that neither Nagi nor her intent to marry each other. [page 4]
  • Sachi is implied to be bothered with losing Nagi to Hiro, the same way that she loses Nagi to Erika in Chapter 17.[page 6]
  • Some of Sachi's recreational activities are shown, with Erika showing her obliviousness to both:
    • Batting cage[page 8]
      • With Sachi capable of hitting ball at 90 km/hr pretty consistently.[page 9]
    • Bathhouse
  • Erika plans to show her recreational activities to Sachi in the future, which is rather ominous. [page 15]
  • Erika considers her meeting with Sachi (and Nagi) a 'miracle'.
  • Nagi is concerned of being called cute instead of cool by Hiro.
  • Sachi, like Hiro and implied by Erika last chapter, also thinks that Nagi's clothes are 'weird' [page 20].
  • Erika was seen texting her 'mom' to go to the bathhouse together sometimes although it is unknown which mom that she is referring to.[page 20]

List of characters:

Quote[]

  • "Being able to be here with Sachi like this is such a miracle" - Erika Amano
  • "There's a family out there with the same blood as me running through their veins and I never even knew it." - Erika Amano
  • "You take it for granted that your family will be there but one day, they could just be...gone" - Sachi Umino
  • "What is this...? It's like a concentrated ball of anger and hatred. And meat..." - Nagi Umino

Trivia[]

  • Erika Cosplay Series: Baseball uniform has been added into her cosplay arsenal.
    • Considering that the batting venue probably wouldn't have any uniform like that, Erika seems to have the ability to conjure cosplay uniform out of nowhere.
  • Shoba Doll: Shoba-kun finally made a reappearance but this time as Sachi's punching bag.
  • The board that they bought and designed in Chapter 18 can be seen in the living room on Page 4.[page 4]
  • Japanese Trivia: The type of communal bathhouse that they visited is called Sentō (銭湯), which is different from Onsen (温泉) that you usually hear in which they don't have natural hot spring; the terms are indistinguishable in some regions.
    • What you saw Erika used are the hot (46°C) and cold (17°C) baths, both are used along with 'lukewarm' bath for the important cycle: warming up and cooling down. If you go from one extreme to the other immediately, you'll end up like Erika whom is used to the conventional bathing method.
