Seeing how they seem to ascribe her very birth as a great evil, I'm guessing Lulu's birth caused the death of their mother, and that's the origin of their grudge against her.
I do think the theory of Lulu actually being Satan is more compelling though.
Feel like the guy who goes second has an advantage in these things
Not like, in actual rakugo, but in manga competitions, since the manga naturally needs them to surpass the predecessor to build up hype
I feel making zero attempt at making the re-education center palatable is a bit on the unrealistic side; we have examples of actual places like this in China (naturally, not quite so over the top) being displayed to journos in very controlled tours and they don't talk about liquidating people in...
Shouldn't she be arrested?
"I'm doing all this because I want my childhood friend's attention" is really not cutting it like, she needs a better justification for it.
IDK if this is an issue with the original work or the translation, but the English King famous for his divorces is Henry VIII, not Henry VII (who is his father, and who had a successful and happy marriage).
I was kinda expecting Aya to have a more random death, like struck by an artillery shell that she could not have any way of avoiding or seeing coming, to underline how it's not entirely skill that determines you survive, but pure luck.
Anyway, Katyusha!
I just love how this vanilla cookie cutter childhood friends manga warped into a great dumpster fire, I love reading these comment wars
Keep going guys
