Ah, so you empathise with the nerdy girl as she gets wooed by the handsome girl? I could get used to this.
Also I wonder if the red of this land has something to do with the colour of the chakras, just as the dark science labs guys said about the ultra blue landscape? Red is the pelvic chakra FYI. Looking at the chakras, I feel like the girls metaphorically climbing up Maslow’s hierarchy of needs will map directly onto their actions in escaping the otherside, though I’m probably reading a false comparison.

So, Sorawo is like "it is up to me to full-auto that child if it looks weird at Toriko". Priorities...

Gosh this chapter is so emblematic of what I love about this series. It really combined all the best elements: the creepiness and horror of the Otherside, sorawo and toriko’s adorable relationship, Sorawo’s struggle with the fact that she actually has human emotions and can’t recognize them, her passion for ghost stories and her attempting to be more considerate of her accomplice
We’re getting to some of the best arcs in the novels soon, very excited

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 the child here is missing a shoe...
It's rather interesting and a great little microcosm of one of the parts I love about the storytelling of the otherside as a whole — it is portrayed in a way that makes it impossible to think of it as anything BUT a clue to what is really going on... but that's not how that world works. That's not how ghost stories work. Sorawo says it herself, logic doesn't apply, cause and effect isn't real. It's patterns arranged in a way that looks like they're communicating meaning, but they're not really. This leaves me as a reader noticing the shoe, instictively thinking 'aha, this could help figure out the nature of this child,' and then having to stop and remind myself that the author is both intentionally putting these 'clues' in AND telling us to not fall for the trick and see them as clues. It's just a lure, meant to entice characters in fiction into figuring out a mystery, and readers into crafting theories. It captures the internet ghost story feel perfectly.
Or maybe it isn't, and the Otherside is trying to convey meaning in the only way it knows how. Maybe the meaning is there if one is just to listen. To lean in a bit closer and try to understand... just a little more......

Ahhhh an on-the-lips kiss in that situation? I love how just openly adoring Toriko looks at Sorawo even when she's getting mad at Toriko's lack of priorities or actively plotting to magdump a kid. The thoughts about how they connect each other adn their injuries might harm each other but don't is just such good symbolism. Sorawo and Toriko proving why they are the queen's of creepy yuri.
Also that child probably isn't a monster, given that's what Sorawo expects, but it standing in a field of Spider Lilies isn't exactly comforting either.

can't wait for the trippy Otherside sex scene . I wonder how they'll depict that without upping the rating
