So now we see what happened from Hama's perspective, and it seems her father is still so eager to run away from her despite the last time we see Hama there's dialog from (supposedly) her father.

Also, her sickness where her brain seems to be glitch doubled looks eerily familiar, like Chacha/Yume's mother looks or the people who got possessed by ghost in arc where Chacha was introduced. This is just a long shot, but is it possible someone is transplanting brain inside Hama's head in order to take over her body, like her dad?

Why did it zoom in on the girls neck when she was trying to remember?

Not sure if there is an exact reason other than the full face reveal page later, but she does seem to have some sort of marks on her neck so we'll see

That thing in the fog was likely not her father and she was rescued from it. Her father seemed surprised and concerned she was taking grey jobs... wonder how they got separated, it seemed heavily implied that the reason he was doing grey jobs himself was for Hama.

The holy memory and self recognition problem opens up a whole can of mind fuckery the author can put out, means Hama isnt a trustworthy narrator and we have to doubt everything from her perspective, even the story about her father running away. Memory disorder is bad enough, but with "inability to recognize oneself" im not sure how crazy its gonna get. What does that mean? Could Hama really be someone else entirely all along that thinks they're Hama all along cause they cant percieve themselves?

Good catch about the double glitch, I was wondering why it seemed familiar.

The pills make me think of Sui in the last arc, too, since she mentioned needing pills. And the cult had a big thing about brains...

In any event, this illness has to be something grey. I wonder if it's directly related to her dad doing grey jobs, either as a consequence or his motivation for doing them.

Or maybe this job Hama is doing right now is the cause of the illness. This seems to be a time travel job, so maybe older Hama somehow merges with younger Hama for some reason?

As for Nijimura, I'm so curious. Does anyone remember if that name has come up before the last arc, too? Something about it felt familiar, but then, this series has so many cults and saviors.

Well damn, if you'd asked me to bet on which character was most likely to be suffering from eldritch brain damage just a single chapter ago my money would've been on Daidai.

What a fuckin' twist.

Two brains
The cult that reveres brains in the last arc
Double images overlaid
Yume's mother
Inability to recognize oneself

Nope, I've got nothing

 

[Tds-PdV]

Looking forward to how the two will converge again.
At this point all this could be time-space distortion, alternate dimension, or parallel world, hard to tell, but probably doesn’t matter too much.

.......
Thank you for the update

 

[spurgleburgle]

I forgot about Hama's illness. She mentions it in chapters 149 and 151. This is the first time we learned about what it is.

Daidai's brain gives damage to eldritch

A lot of exposition and tension, wonder if the manga is working towards a conclusion shortly

 

[cromat]

im guessing nijimura got killed but superimposed herself onto hama

 

[SMAXZO]

See, I knew it...it is a "Home Delivery" service!

the fog illusions seem weird af. some of them are helpful (dead guy helped yume, dad was semi helpful and wanted to lead her out of the fog but couldnt cuz of the grey job, the q lady was kind of helpful and told hama how to escape) but the other grey jobber's friend from the fog was out to get her

 

[romie68]

My IQ is way to low to even begin to understand what the fuck has been happening in like the past 10 chapters

I think Tokiko (the Q lady) was the real thing. Weirdly didn't even occur to me that she might be an illusion, her showing up there just seems on brand. I figure she's giving Hama that warning so she can either go save Yume, or for some other goal related to the delivery (and/or Nijimura...?).

 

[Sovyonok]

Yeah i don't have a clue where this is going. Tried to look back and i don't think Nijimura was mentioned anywhere beforehand ? That twin detective case came first to mind, but that was a different name, something like Madatarasu (along those lines). The cult did mention Nijimura also but they used a "he" not "she". I guess maybe Nijimura has been parasiting in Hama the same way Yayoi has been in Chacha ? Honestly no clue.

i thought the dad illusion turned into tokiko but tbh im not sure now
