Plot!

Sorry this is late by a couple of days, I literally just forgot the magazine came out.

 

[KitRagnell]

Bring on the Karins

 

[nxneil13]

Thx for the TL!!

By any chance, do you know how the sales of this manga are? I remember seeing that there was worry of this not getting enough sales, or it wasn't selling as much. So I wanted to know how its holding up? I hope this manga can flourish

 

[Evangelear]

Hold up, Aika, you gotta elaborate bro. You clearly remember more than the other three right now, where did that come from?

From what little info we have now though, I suppose my initial lock is that her wish was something along the lines of "I want to take the one thing Yuu likes about me and max that out" so the tsukumogami just decided to employ magical Darwin's process on her and that escalated.

 

[Mingu113]

Feel like there will be some dorama

 

[AoiSpectre]

Lmao the wish charm is head patting him

I will be very sad if this manga gets cancelled.

 

[Shibanova]

Hmmm plot movement the taste of drama is in the air

 

[Alteraucous]

Ah more plot. This is going at steady pace which I can appreciate.

No clue, but it is obviously a fact that the better it sells, the better the chances of it staying around. Buy the digital Japanese volume either way! Multiple links on the title page.

"I wish I disappear so Yuu don't feels disappointed of me"
"this side of me is horrible and will make Yuu hate me if we meet again "
"I want to die"

 

[galaxia9]

They're all so precious. Whole or splinters, they must be loved!

 

[Takuma_Aki]

Feels like my off the cuff theory from last chapter might be onto something?

I'll cut & paste it here again:
Ch.2 P.19, the charm said:

Whoever you do not choose will disappear.
...As that is her wish

If we look from the overarching theme/moral of the series that this is Karin learning to accept all the facets of herself through seeing that Yuu, the man she loves, also loves and accepts every and all aspects of herself. The message here is Karin doesn't accept parts of herself and likely believe Yuu will hate some aspects of her; in the mix of Yuu wanting to see her and the charm said it thinks the more the merrier, she did has a say in this shenanigan that she wants the part Yuu doesn't want of her to disappear. After that we also learn from Kumaka arc that it's not only Yuu who has to accept that aspect of her, but Karin herself will have to accept it, too, otherwise she'll disappear. Hence, I reach my conclusion above that the core of this story is Karin learning to accept herself through seeing Yuu accepts and loves all the facets of her.

EDIT
Giving it more thoughts about the magnitude of her wish hinted at in this chapter, maybe her wish doesn't have anything to do with Yuu's and his charm's shenanigan, but purely she went through some traumatic event, doesn't accept herself/hate herself, and probably wish to disappear thinking Yuu will hate what she has become, but it now clashes with Yuu's wish, probably.

Whatever it is, I think the overarching theme still stands that she will have to learn to accept/re-learn to love herself through Yuu.

Yuu and the Karins enjoying the festival was wholesome.

I bet Karin's wish was to see Yuu again. The split was probably to test their love?

 

[Renan_Walheim]

Kumaka my beloved

 

[MrTurtleMan]

This makes me think that my prediction of the endgame being all of the personalities reforming back into the original Karin was probably correct

I want the next Karin to be an ojou sama just because I want to see a Karin go ohohoho

 

[Brucenorris007]

Yuu's gotta be one of the luckiest MC's. Gets to have a date with all sides of his girlfriend at once; probably one of the best versions of a harem scenario ever.

That plot really came out of left field; honestly the competition arc made me forget about that little faceless thing.

 

[S0LUS]

The panel with all of them performing had me wondering for a sec as to how often we'll get idol-focused chapters like this series is some kind of sleeper "AKB48 but with only one actress" type of deal (it'll prolly happen to some degree at some point, at least, even though it's obviously not gonna be the main focus...) but then the end made me really wonder how the tone of this goofy gag rom-com will handle the parts of Karin that are like, well and truly depressed and suicidal. When we get to the yandere(s) even that can be played off with some amount of comedy like most gag series manage, but i hope they handle the one who just wants to die with some careful tact lol

 

[volodyuka]

Please don't be about suicide, please don't be about suicide, please don't be about suicide, please don't be about suicide, please don't be about suicide, please don't be abo...

No teaser of next karin???
