Tsumi to Batsu no Spica - Vol. 4 Ch. 28 - Deadly Marriage (8)

[Sloth295]

bro, a particular classmate of youra has more deth counts than what makes you feel proud, yea she's exactly next to you

 

[Infiking]

People saying this kid is sweet and im just seeing red flags waiting for him to be Spicas next serving of justice.

Everything about him has shown that he's the exact opposite of Spica. He's a natural born detective that LARPs as a serial killer while Spica is a serial killer who LARPs as a detective.

The japanese have a weird understanding of drug effects

Hey have you played hotline Miami 2? It could happen.

 

[EchoGirl]

The 'i can fly' was in english too haha

dang page 12 looks like such a cliche shoujo rom com (tho i think they're better as friends/partners than love interest, if he somehow found out feels like he'd get involved and make it riskier)

guess it is conflict of interest but

The japanese have a weird understanding of drug effects

i mean weirder things in animanga happen without it being drugged induced. or the ppl who say annoying eyerolling shit like "how high was he/how many drugs did he do to come up with this idea?"

They don't come in contact with them as often as in the west and it's also much less talk about so it make sense. TBH ive never taken any drugs (other than aderall) so it's also quite unknown to me how they feel.

it's pretty frowned upon where you'd get in more trouble for weed to where a celeb can get 'canceled' for having weed but another one gets away with SA so yeah /shrug

Buuut i think you can just have suspension of disbelief considering spica having telekinesis and all

surprisingly wholesome ending

 

[Tcof]

isn't the

There's no way this is over, unless the female guard really was complete a red herring.

it is over. the female guard ? are you missing some chapter, because there are a hug upload, so you may just click on the latest and missed a lot.
her part end with literacy hint at you that "there are more" than just Rukia use people who have crush on her as it was expected in that chapter, there are more than: the female guard is the one who kill all 3 person. And the last 2 chapter is what conclusion of al that hint.

“I believe I can fly.” -Kazami 20XX

Spica has angel demeanor but demon in her heart, while Tahakaru got demonic demeanor with heart of an angel

opposites attract or whatever the hell they say, looking forward see how the romance goes

 

[skywardgem]

did she lose her fiance?

super fair points, think I just assumed the money borrowing would get in the way of things lol, that + Tenma's letter being the thing to stop her from committing suicide had me thinking she didn't have anyone else to rely on at that point

 

[Lightbrand]

Aim for the bushes

 

[Kampfarsch]

Did she type out a confession letter on his smartphone again?
How the fuck does she keep getting away with this, cant imagine the police wont be knocking before the next victim

 

[zeroto7dan]

so the reason why rukia is being pen pal with tenma is because of how similar he is to her brother? pathologically? doing stuff for the people who rely on her no matter the extend of it? I guess we will never know if this the last chapter for this arc.

The female guard only kill 1 person. the last man married to Rukia. The only one that's killed by monoxide poisoning.
The other 3 men killed by Rukia's brother were killed by defenestration.
The reason is the female guard doesn't have enough strength to fight man or throw them from the balcony so she chose sedating the victim and lock him with charcoal in a car.

 

[Arghit]

I really hope they never catch Spica.

I really hope they never catch Spica.

Interesting times ahead

I'm going to say this again for people in the back:
Nosuge Rukia did not kill herself

Everything about him has shown that he's the exact opposite of Spica. He's a natural born detective that LARPs as a serial killer while Spica is a serial killer who LARPs as a detective.

This is an excellent way to sum up the dichotomy.

There's no way this is over, unless the female guard really was complete a red herring.

She was not a red herring. She murdered Rukia most recent husband at Rukia's urging so her brother could get the inheritance.

Well, at least this one only ended up with one unintentional suicide and not someone actually doing it on purpose.

Again, Nosuge Rukia did not kill herself.

I dont understand the last page. So rukia will still be in prison now?
I feel like, since rukia is such a people pleaser, she'll try to be tenma's "fated one" because of his letter to her. That or maybe she mentally fucked up now and is "inlove" or obsessed with tenma haha

Last Page: Yes. She is still charged with the previous murders and would have to file an appeal, something she seems disinclined to do. Even if the convictions were vacated, she'd likely be charged with concealing a crime/accessory after the fact (or the Japanese legal equivalents).
She is also very guilty, and admitting guilt, of inducing the female guard to kill her most precent husband. I dunno what the sentence would be in Japan, but she'll be in prison for a long time.

It was strangely sweet ending. Rukia didn't take anyone's life except money. Ha!

She was definitely liable to the murder of her most recent husband.

Tenma's got a good heart, I was so caught up in wondering about her past that I skimmed over her losing her brother, confidant, and fiancé in ~2 chapters in my mind. Glad she has someone to talk with still, wonder if she'll take the retrial go back out into the world

Not just confidant but her fixer; the one getting the warden to make all those special case exceptions, probably slipping her contraband, extra privleges, etc.

I really hope they never catch Spica.

I hope our boy there does <3 just you know, relationship wise. not criminally.

I think she was only ever a victim of circumstance. Both her brother and the prison guard were enacting their own version of justice by enacting the murders. The guard out of admiration/obsession and the brother out of a warped sense of justice and cost-benefit.
As for rukia, her only crime was being born unfortunate. Surrounded by people who could only ever see her as a tool to be used or an object to attain, guess she only ever learned that her value was tied to how alluring or desirable she can present her self to be, and being surrounded by people like her uncle, ex husbands, and brother her sense of self worth being tied to desirability had her end up where she was, fully isolated after her last two sources of worth were gone. I think the news headline is more of an addendum on how she and her lawyer did end up in ,at the very least, a common law marriage where she gets money from him.

I think that's downplaying her culpability. She definitely, definitely knew what she was doing was wrong but cared about her brother enough to keep doing it. She was willing to kill other people to ensure she was taking care of her younger brother. (The implication is that even before he walked in on Rukia and their uncle, Uncle was molesting Rukia in exchange for pocket money) Which is why once she learned her brother was dead she was going to off herself until she got the letter from Tenma asking her to be his onee-chan.

I think that's also why she willingly copped to incitement; she wants to live up to Tenma's expectations.

Her first husband was not a good person, but the other two might have been decent guys - they just outlasted their financial usefullness and were killed for insurance once they figured out the play from the first one.

 

[Jatopian]

ive never taken any drugs (other than aderall)

Damn, you skipped right over caffeine and went straight to Adderall?

Damn, they are made for each other, marry already!

Spica might be thinking he's an irresponsible idiot, not a potential love interest. He did just try to marry a serial killer, and not even one who supposedly had some kind of justification like Spica.

 

[Friendly-Sentence710]

No she's definitely got a crush; Because he's such a good person inside he doesn't trigger her murderous OCD about thoughts being "out of place".

 

[Tcof]

in other translation, it say in the news in the last page, that the woman marriage her lawyer, not "found that he sent her money", not sure what correct but i feel like at least the former is make some sense, why sent her money get caught like it is a crime ? if it is, then the manga lack so many context. The former at least make sense in itself and explain this boy reaction

The female guard only kill 1 person. the last man married to Rukia. The only one that's killed by monoxide poisoning.
The other 3 men killed by Rukia's brother were killed by defenestration.
The reason is the female guard doesn't have enough strength to fight man or throw them from the balcony so she chose sedating the victim and lock him with charcoal in a car.

there are no confuse here, the "she kill all 3 people" is the expected "truth", in that chapter. Not that it is truth, but the end raise a flag, "what she mean by that", hint that the real truth is not just end there, which is this 2 last chapter and the little brother twist.

 

[cromat]

im not sure i get rukias motive in the beginning

if shes covering for her brother, why did she offer to marry and sex the kid and lie and say "i didnt say this (the proposal) to anyone else"? not like the kid has a bunch of money

she wanted to suicide once she found her brother died so it feels like shes covering for him which is why she wanted to marry the other 2 to get their money but why the kid then?

 

[Doomroar]

Tohakari stop man, grow out of this phase already or it will kill you!

Shit, it was my fault. I made a mistake
