Dramatic music: Duh duh DUUUUUUUUN.

[popo53414]

[S0LUS]

Thanks a ton for the chapter!

Keeping a child SCP at home just because she looks more Euclid than Keter sounds like a bad idea to me.

But maybe Kozakura has some killer home insurance.

Kozakura is now a mom of three

I just started reading volume 6 of the LNs and my only question is

Spoiler

where is T-san?

Toilet paper moon is such a great phrase, an unreachable romantic symbol, made out of garbage. As Toriko is trying to move on from Satsuki, Sorawo is becoming more and more obsessed, antagonistically. Since we know manifesting or reifying psychology is a lot of what the Otherside does, I wonder if this is a deliberate act by Otherside Satsuki, whatever Otherside Satsuki is, to propagate itself or keep itself alive. Insinuating itself into Sorawo's memory to grow that obsession, which feeds Satsuki in turn, literally an infectious thought.
I'm sure LN readers are like, not even close, what are you even talking about.

 

[faaresemo]

oh hey, finally here to talk, maybe?

 

[GLFanatic]

Can you guys imagine how incovenient (and comedic gold) Kasumi's abilities can be? Imagine after Toriko and Sorawo have their first time and a few days later the kid just goes:

"Ooooh... Aaaah... Not there, Toriko... Slow down... You are so warm. Let me teach you a new word, Sowaro. T.R.I.B.A.D.I.S.M.".

Cut from the manga unfortunately 😞

I have to admit that my patience for Sorawo’s lack of knowledge about the situation with Toriko is quickly diminishing. Are things better in the light novel?

 

[PLInkali]

So we got Ghost Bird Nomad Inception, huh?

They are.

Give her time, she is slow for these things but she will get there.

Hummm. I think I actually agree with the decision to cut volume 6 and not adapt it to the manga. I'll have to reread it again with this in mind to fully develop my opinion on what will be lost, but from my recollection right now... I think I'm okay with this.

Like, sure, we're gonna lose out on a lot of character development from it. There's a couple scenes regarding Sorawo and Toriko... and a lot regarding Sorawo in particular. Plenty of Akari will be lost, too. I think what the manga will gain from accelerating the story towards the two separate major conflict resolutions in volume 7 and 8 are worth that, though?

Spoiler: Musing on Volume 6, nothing too specific

It'll be a shame to lose out on all of Sorawo's presentation and talks with her professor in her classes. I found the discussions about cultural anthropology to be quite important for the overall series. I wonder if we'll lose out on Benimori as a character entirely due to that. But, despite how that's definitely a loss, I don't think those scenes would translate well to manga? Not nearly as well as the rest of the story has, at least. It was a LOT of talking. Very interesting talking, but a whole lot of it nonetheless.

I'unno. I'm optimistic. Volume 8 in particular has the potential to be a stunning end to the manga but it needs time to breathe and for characters to talk at length. I can definitely seen an argument how cutting 6 will service that end.

Read the novels, folks! They're really good! Definitely worth a full read, but you can start at volume 6 if you want to just see what the manga is skipping by moving to 7. I'd call the manga a fantastic and faithful adaptation even with 6 being skipped, so it's your call in the end. The novels have some strengths that can't be emulated by an adaptation, but you won't feel lost if you don't want to start from the beginning.

She's not as ... well. She is as dense as she seems. But she's not as stupid as she can sometimes appear.

Spoiler: LN-informed opinion on Sorawo, though not technically a spoiler

You can't always trust her internal monologue; that girl's got a full course of hangups and inadequacies and loves to... mm, I guess, lie to herself? Or tell herself things that she knows aren't quite true? As if mentally not looking directly at a problem means it doesn't exist? I've been there, at least, so that's how I understand her.

There's plenty of reflection and development coming and patience will be rewarded if you can bear with her.

page 27:
"why had I come here" would be more normal

 

[demon_slayer69420]

This is what happens when you leave your wife behind sorawo

 

[Aniseverse]

You know the writing is good when one panel of Satsuki makes all the sirens go off in your mind like "It's dangerous to be here with this thing" I know Sorawo won't die, this isn't that kind of manga but damn do I feel like that she is in mortal danger
