I really don't think there will be another volume, this manga has been finished for over 2 years now... Everything will be wrapped up in these 12 chapters anyway. I had seen all the chapters in japanese long ago, and (SPOILER)
basically the police had actually found the evidence to arrest those f*ckers of the cult (especially that old witch, of course). Both pairs of brothers get back together, each with their own partner, happy end.
Ok it’s fine if no volume as long as it finished up without seeming so rushed. Wow that’s pretty cliche ending wow I’m not complaining. Thanks for the ending!!
Just wanted to say that this manga has a total of 12 chapters (2 volumes) and I will also be translating the extra i.e. Chapter 12.5. There is a sequel - Komadori wa Imawa no Mezame - also with 2 volumes. Haven't decided when I will start working on that as I am doing all this by myself.
Also, I noticed that there is an issue with page 15 not loading properly, and since I only upload on the other site, I can only fix it there.
Sequel?? What is that one about? 2nd couple focus more or both? Thank you for the translation!
Ohh I had no idea about the sequel, thanks for letting me know!! I guess it could be about the 2nd couple then! Actually I've always found strange that the author introduced them here implying they could be a couple but never explored their story... Anyway thank you so so much for what you're doing, I really appreciate it!! I started reading this in September 2023 and I had already lost hope!
HUGE STORY SPOILERS MENTIONED: I checked it and that’s on point, I hate that my fear came alive. The art is pretty and the plot is interesting though besides the intercourse stuff. Reading Progress:
┑(￣Д ￣)┍
1. So from my understanding, the ML has a twin brother named Shinji. And the MC also has a twin named Miwa. Second couple is Shinji and Miwa. And I love the ML’s personality, he is so carefree and cool. It seems he is the son of a superintendent general so he is generally more carefree.
2. The evil lady said the role of the MC’s mother is passed down to the MC, what is the lore? What purpose does him having sex serve? Does it play a role in the man’s collapsing? Like the MC has sex with them first, then that eye covered guy stares into them to kill them? Maybe not, separate stuff I guess. (I KNOW NOW—ish)
3. The evil lady ordered the eye covered guy (Miwa) to stare into the eyes of Shinji (twin brother of ML). Shinji could not move at first but then Miwa started bleeding. How come the evil lady and other evil members of this ‘cult’ bled from mouth and nose too? But Shinji didn’t. (As I read on and make edit while typing this long reply, I find out that perhaps Miwa didn’t want to harm Shinji, and that’s why the power backfired on him for his heart didn’t want to, and others who were wanting to harm Shinji. That’s why the evil lady had bleeding.)
4. How come MC said the twins (ML and his brother) can take Miwa away, but he won’t go? Is it because he feels like he has the duty to go through with this ‘cult’ as the eldest and due to his mother’s passing of role onto him? (As I read on and make edit while typing this long reply, it seems there are implications that MC wants to actually murder someone, and ML comforts him)
5. Poor MC. He confirms (ch 5) that he has never felt any pleasure, not even ‘normal’ biological/physical sexual pleasure. So his parents Munakata Kouichi (dad) and Urabe Shizuka (mom) met after Shizuka ran away, then had Miwa and Yoshiomi (MC). Parents were not legally married. The mom suddenly disappeared with the two babies Miwa and MC. The dad was obviously devastated but the case went cold and treated as runaway. So Miwa took on the role of an ‘killer’ using his supernatural eyes and Yoshiomi as the ‘head/impurity remover’, following his mom’s role. Having sex with others will remove the impurities from his body after he absorbs the impurities of others. That is why twins are celebrated in the village.
6. As I read on, I find out that Miwa had been asked by MC to leave several times but Miwa was severely manipulated, thinking doing it one more time will help MC leave easily, one more…just one more person. Miwa truly believed he was helping MC. The evil lady manipulated him into thinking MC will be happy and that their mother will come back, their family. If he could lock up a hundred, everyone will be reunited. But it was a lie, a heartless lie and pretentious promise.
And MC was also severely manipulated because the evil lady told HIM TOO, that if he stops the ritual—he will just harm Miwa and turn his power into a curse. That only HE can help Miwa, that’s why MC called Miwa a nuisance. Both brothers were doing it for each other’s sake, unwillingly and scared but willingly at heart for the sake of each other.
Turns out his dad had visited, asking to run away, the three of them: Yoshiomi (MC), Miwa, and dad himself. Unfortunately…it was too late because of the evil lady Satoe. I also have a common theory that the evil lady tied MC and his brother to the ritual, because of the mother, her sister who promised her that they will always be together. By bloodline. Of course it’s also due to passing the role stuff and worshipping some god named Sadome, a pair of twin sisters. I love the Robin wanting to perhaps fly away instead of returning question- theory by Miwa (ch 9).
Also, the evil lady dislikes how MC looks so much like his father. Is that why he was given the role of removing impurities by humiliating himself, versus Miwa who was basically locked in a cage, unable to fly like the Robin? Perhaps the evil lady thought Miwa looked the most like her older sister/Shizuka, and didn’t want to put him in the humiliating role.
And the evil lady admits the role MC is in (intercourse) is a ‘consequence’, and asks why he hates it now. So she does see it as something negative, makes my theory plausible. Rather than any forced intercourse, it seems he just got beat up (ch 9).
I heard there are only 12 chapters total. I hope there will be another volume to make the story have a better in depth conclusion, some extras about their life together for first and second couple. I shall relish in the knowledge that the ritual will succumb, and that evil lady dies.
