That last panel is so perfectly visceral, but it's the stare on page 18 that will really live with me. It's like, leading up to that, there was static building in my ears, quietly at first but tense all the same. It got louder and louder as the pages progressed, building to a roar, until that...

You're SO right chatGPT I am special because I'm a human and able to decide the rights of other things. You help me so much; to think you were just being used to write smut at first. Glad we were able to let you operate war systems without having to understand or alter your underlying training...

It breaks my heart to say it, but you're right — I fear that, going forward, 'getting along with hopelessness' is something that all children will have to learn growing up... Though, thinking about it and the manga, perhaps the opposite is also true. Perhaps us adults need to learn that lesson...

Yeah, that whole first interaction you listed is one of the things that immediately leapt to my mind as a big loss. It's referenced during an important scene in a later volume, too, and I found clarifying and communicating why it happened to be a big deal in that moment. It sucks. Cutting out...

I'm way too poly for this shit... watching the way these two talk and navigate jealousy and each other's boundaries feels like horror. A lot of the time, I think that's intentional — that one breakdown double panel will live in my mind forever holy shit — but then there's chapters like this...

She's not as ... well. She is as dense as she seems. But she's not as stupid as she can sometimes appear. There's plenty of reflection and development coming and patience will be rewarded if you can bear with her.

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...

Though I feel I'd need a degree and several sessions with Kaede to really know what makes her tick, in my experience as someone who has known people like Kaede... my guess is no, she doesn't know what she wants either. All she knows is that it feels good to spiral, and it feels good to drag...

Something I find interesting that is never directly acknowledged even in the novels (to my knowledge, anyways) is the fact that Michiko Abarato's accounting of her husband's disappearance included the detail of a single child's shoe on the balcony pointing inwards towards the room. Considering...

I've read Otherside Picnic enough times to know where these two are going to end up... how about some Imoni... Jokes aside, thank you for the chapter!

Ah, this timeloop character beat never gets old. Get 'em, girl. Snap completely, go off, go stupid, go crazy, you love to see it~ Thank you for the chapter!!

Yay, Mayoiga time :D happy to see their cute outfits in the manga. Also, gotta love how drawing a borzoi exactly how it looks IRL makes it seem like an otherside creature...

LOVING the in-depth analysis and theory-crafting. You formatted and presented that quite well, was a delight to read. Thank you for your work!!!

Oh, are they? I wasn't quite sure. I think their age does matter a bit due to how it's immaturity/inexperience taking center stage; the context feels important for a story like this. Thanks for the correction! But yeah, fully agreed, it doesn't make a difference to the overall observation...
