Lol you can see the detective stalking Aino in the background. He's not even hiding either he's just squatting ten feet away from their house.
Sara seems a bit worryingly eager to die. I initially thought that Natalie was the one with suicidal inclinations but Sara definitely isn't holding on for dear life either. She did convince herself it was for the kingdom, but I don't believe that's the main reason.
Either way, I see her willingness for martyrdom being a major conflict later in the series. The translator mentions the original pixiv work was heavy on the edge and angst, so I don't see this going well for her.
I like how casually Sato drops the choujin supremacy line. No reaction either, they just go "Ah, of course." It was pretty obvious that he was messed up though so I shouldn't be too surprised.
Personally I think that making extras for each volume for the explanation page would be better than having them directly after the chapter. It wouldn't ruin the flow of the comic that much. They are pretty helpful for some, like the fire extinguisher joke, but for the rest it's just kinda hammering it in.
I do like the tiny drawings done for the explanation pages though.
It's really interesting, kind of reminds me of Dark Souls with the monsters and designs. I'm not a gigantic Nihei fan, I've only read two of his works, but the artstyle used here seems really different from what I've usually seen from him. I assume it's due to the large no. of pages but it's still fairly nice to look at.
Also about the actual story, the wizard is shown to be able to impersonate people, so I wonder if the princess is actually alive or if the wizard wants them to get to the top. Only time will tell though.
I really liked the newest chapter though, the combination of everyone enjoying themselves and having fun immediately followed by Yomiko having to feel guilt over her association with the Institute was really hard hitting.
WHAT'S WITH THE RANDOM PAGES FROM OTHER MANGA?????
Is it like some bot glitch or something?? It happened before too
The doll definitely isn't a good sign of how Marias mental health is going. I wonder what the asymmetrical eyes are supposed to represent. The only thing I could think of is the number of bullies that aren't dead but that seems a bit too stupid for any sort of symbolism.
WAIT WAIT WAIT I just noticed in the cover, the doll has 5 eyes, and in ch 14 he only has 4. Maybe it is a count of how many bullies are left?
Tried reading some of this, and although the setting is unique I cannot get past the MC. For the first three chapters, he does nothing but jerk off and it's actually annoying.
Will maybe read later because the author is apparently a good writer but holy shit he better do something that isn't masturbating.
Grandma fucking apologizes to Chizuru for not immediately thanking her for scamming her for two years. This manga is so repulsively annoying it actually offends the sensibilities.
