Yes…. I mean, I hate to sound blunt but yes it actually is very common in Japanese culture, if the child is born with any thing they find “defective” it’s common to have them killed
Heck, even if the baby is just fine if you hypothetically have twins, it was a common theory that one of the twins was actually a goblin in disguise (speaking of that there is another good manga with that ver similar premise :) )
are we talking about dororo?
No I was referring to A Kind Goblin’s Bird
Is Takaya crazy?! How does he think killing himself along with his mother is supposed to fix things? And how is it selfish asking why your mother wants to lock you away? Also, I guess in typical Japanese fashion, if they can’t handle their children being born even a little bit different, they shun or try killing them.
