Oh oh, the Crazies are starting to find out MC x sister is a thing sorta

 

[Tcof]

make your bet, what will she react one she find out Remu can handle lewd stuff, even a bit too well:
-Illusion shattered, gone crazy
-Glad they can say gex

Reading this while listening to L'arc~en~ciel's Blurry Eyes is just perfect.

 

[feignedremoteness]

I appreciate the scanlation team going in and editing the text in Niji’s eyes on page 9. it’s the little details

I'm out of touch?... no, it's the friend who is wrong. I must correct her.

Thar be cracks forming,and some have even reached the surface.

The whole thing is going blow up so wonderfully in a :

Niji doesn't seem to be too careful for someone that was almost discovered, let's write about waiting for "Remu" to finish work on the one day you visited real Remu at work

Niji seems to have almost completely disassociated. Things going wrong in reality don’t scare her.

 

[Resound]

little bitch gonna get a taste of reality

 

[Glimmung]

It is nice that none of Remu’s friends were weirded out by Azuki being female.

 

[celstra]

Niji's disrespect of temu utena Azuki... Even she look depressed, there are two hot girls fawn over her, mind you!

 

[holicastral]

the worst part is she had a chance to be the one to connect with her secret and everything, but she was stuck deep in her fantasies and never tried the real thing or took any action before someone started taking "her place"

 

[3turtlesinacoat]

Its very funny that the fantasies niji has are apparently well written enough to get high ratings.
Also hilarious that she has the object of her affection literally tell her to her face "youve been writing me wrong" and apparently the thing she eants to change is not her writing.
Thanks for the chapter

Omg. Scandal and blackmail next?? Yabai...

So, as of now we have a love quadrangle where, not only is the love unreciprocated, but moreover, that love is directed at a labile idealization (polymer clay, plastic, and here - text) rather than the actual person.

I think, with that, like, the author is no longer cooking, the meal is almost done. All that's left to demonstrate is that the fetishism here is not aberrant, but the default.

@mangaburner1979 you had primo thoughts on this last time I remember. Something that's sticking out to me is, for all of the characters we've seen so far, the fantasizing they do is never interior in form - when they do have flashbacks or moments of imagined images, it's always fleeting, like something they're trying to suppress. and like, ig that's not how we'd typically think of "fantasy", right? their fantasies are always externalized as concrete sensuous things, as art produced for another person. I don't even have anything articulate to say here, I'm just trying to note down my confusion / "this is weird and significant" feeling since it feels like in short order this story will get neatly wrapped up and everything will be obvious in retrospect.

tbh I didn't do all that close a read-through here, but did you see that "using you guys as their model without asking" part? idk if it's a translation artefact but that just seemed so bizarre and funny to me for a bunch of different contradictory reasons. at first I just wanted to poke fun at it but I'm getting the sense that the cringeworthiness of the whole situation here might be central to the point being made. dunno. I'll prolly reread the last few chapters tmrw and see if I can develop that.
