Here, there's a pun here that we weren't able to fully translate, where word for "wound/trauma" (Kizu) and the word for "creation" (Tsukuru) can be written using the same kanji (創), albeit different pronunciations.
"Scar Transformation" utilizes the pronunciation of the kanji itself (Sou), effectively expressing both meanings at the same time.


Btw, in case anyone's confused about Sekilala and Prayer's themes both being "love", Prayer's theme was more about altruistic love (愛) while Sekilala's theme was more about romantic affection (恋).

I really really hate the implications of what the flashback meant for her...

I don’t think that was an implication at all, that was just showing you directly what happened

Huh... That seems like it adds an additional layer to Murakami Haruki's Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki... They do explain some things about his name in the book, but the 'scar' reading goes unmentioned but makes perfect sense for him.

On the one hand, Comedy Lesbian

On the other, I respect her ambition regardless

You should've learned to expect the most tragic possible flashbacks from Shy at this point.

Well, she's one of the Amalareiks that survives longest and gets the most screentime; she's even in the cover of the newest volume.

this is bi erasure at its finest, she spends half the chapter talking about marrying princes and she's just a Comedy Lesbian to you? she's CLEARLY a Comedy Bisexual, you bigot

Uh. I don't know if you're being overly aggressive for comedic/sarcastic sense, but on the chance you're not the "princes" were Johns. She is likely the victim of sex trafficking, at the very least forced prostitution. Her being in "love" with the "princes" has no bearing on her actual sexuality. Could she be bi? Sure, but her two real, true loves (self-proclaimed) are women. And she surrounds herself with women.

Sekilala's "comedy lesbian" behavior actually makes her strongly-implied background feel even more tragic. Her first appearance way back just portrayed her as a yandere lesbian, but this chapter made her instantly shoot up to become potentially my favorite.

Seeking the new cover art, I m eager to see the fight between the two that love Shy the most ! (Not romantically for one of the 2 but still)

The only problem? It's like 120 chapters away 💀
That's like 2+ years at current one per week pace. [current one is C262]
Definitely not good to maintain the hype and spoiler evasion

Would like to help the group? Ping me [@fadingbang] or anth in Kanin Group?

I was trying to be funny but also I did miss that implication yikes. Considering how over-the-top flowery and emphatic on "love" her whole schtick has been I didn't look too deep into it which, considering the series, was probably a mistake.

I'm preparing the tissue for the inevitable tears to come once we get more pages on that backstory of hers.
