Like the raws
Dorothy recently gave an interview about I See You, Aizawa-san! which I've translated.
Dorothy's tweets on ch35:
(Coincidentally 34, 35, and 17 are the longest chapters in the manga in that order.)
So we're at the end of volume 6. If the ending's meant to be distant on the horizon, it really feels like the break of day is showing just how much ground there is to cover first. Sometimes you don't realize when writing how demanding even seemingly simple plotlines can be. And this is not a simple manga. Dorothy's expressed some nervousness over reaching this milestone at how daunting it feels - this is supposed to be the answer half so why are there only more questions? But personally I'm thankful the manga's had time to stretch out and breathe. It really is something unique, and with the deliberate foreshadowing it all looks promising from here.
Michi
It's sometimes hard to appreciate how much our understanding of the manga is built on the swampy soil of subtext & speculation. If I tell you the searcher on p23 is Michi nobody will question it, but that relies on you knowing:
But it's clear Michi meant a lot more to Honami. She was the first true happiness she'd found since Nagi's death. Maybe someone she could just be herself with instead of forever living in Nagi's memory. And that's already heartbreaking when we haven't even landed on the tip of the iceberg of Honami's tragedy yet. Look forward to it!
Tear
Instead this is Tear's tragic flashback. Her painful choice to keep DeLphi's torch burning in Nagi and Honami's memory and her guilt over the danger that put Ange and Non in. Burdened by the knowledge that something beyond reason was happening yet unable to reasonably express it until it was too late. Still, like last chapter, it's her negative traits that stand out to me. Tear's self-centered and competitive nature (which may have been a coping mechanism from her rough upbringing) that leads her to admit chasing the stage was one of her main motivations in forcing DeLphi to continue and burning their dead like fuel to keep the momentum going. Without DeLphi she knew she'd never find stardom again, but only because the burden of loss would overwhelm her if she didn't keep running from it.
Her self-loathing spiral exposes she always blamed herself for her mother's suicide - for how subtle that was last chapter it really comes in sudden as a hammerblow here. Her confidence, her 'Tear-sama' persona was her armor now made fragile by trauma delivered to those she finally formed real bonds with. If Karasuma hadn't found her when she did that likely would have been the end of Tear-sama. And Tear's willing to deal with this devil if it will help her girls.
Can't deny Karasuma x Tear is endgame after a meet-cute like that. And in 33 they were fun together. Especially knowing Karasuma immediately became the worst fan and started aggressively hitting on Tear less than an hour after first seeing her. Hopefully this package deal allows us to finally find out Karasuma's deal. Though maybe after a return to the real protagonist for a while. I've been missing Michi. But after this flashback I'm 100% sold on Tear as a main character too.
The Rest
For my unhinged speculation corner: is the wailing woman even Nagi? Nagi's ghost generally has the same side-ponytail. Perhaps Nagi's design wasn't finalized early on, but here the wailing ghost is consistent with its appearance in ch14. These eyes are likely Nagi - they're similar enough to Nagi's eyes in ch30. But is this person in the crowd even Nagi? I don't put much stock in this theory but it's something to consider if you want to question everything. And whether Nagi was really capable of rendering Honami's body into something unspeakable, because that says a lot about their relationship.
Speaking of (and to touch on the interview) you can imagine this scene was gorier at first. But Dorothy decided to leave it to readers' imagination and I think that works much better. I'm a sucker for only getting secondhand accounts of nameless horrors from those who nearly went insane trying to rationalize it. And it's haunting watching the door as realization sinks in Honami is being killed before your eyes and there's nothing anyone can do. These chapters really do drive the tragedy home for a manga that's sidestepped it with a silly ghost until now.
It's impossible to speculate on the nature of Honami's death yet. Why was she falling ill? She didn't exhibit clear signs of possession beyond metaphorically channeling Nagi. Her illness was seemingly provoked by her success and happiness, like Nagi dragging her together to the grave. And we know Nagi wants Honami fully dead with her. Somehow Honami's ghost is still in between. Why did Honami's killer need to do THAT to her? Why did her body reconstitute after? Was her soul ripped clean and that's how Michi was able to rescue what was left of her? Too many questions.
I'll also iterate that Nagi's condition was described differently to Honami's. Honami was 体調が悪い/physically ill while Nagi was simply 不調/unwell. A more generalized term that makes it unclear if Nagi was suffering physically or mentally, but Dorothy has been consistent with symptoms of ghost sickness. Honami, Kasumi, Ange, and Masaki had coughing fits while Nagi didn't. Again, we don't really know enough yet to draw conclusions. Just something to consider.

Not the first time this happened - Dorothy also thought ch17+18 could be 1 chapter.

It's sometimes hard to appreciate how much our understanding of the manga is built on the swampy soil of subtext & speculation. If I tell you the searcher on p23 is Michi nobody will question it, but that relies on you knowing:
- Michi is one of the few with fuzzy irises
- Michi is certainly the friend Honami made at school
- Michi was likely aware of Honami's haunting
But it's clear Michi meant a lot more to Honami. She was the first true happiness she'd found since Nagi's death. Maybe someone she could just be herself with instead of forever living in Nagi's memory.

- It's hard to make out even before my redrawing made it worse but the right half of 21 looks like an impression of Honami's body with broken limbs and strewn organs.
- With Honami's parents working overseas, maybe she spent more time with Nagi's family than her own and that's why they're basically sisters.
- The random detail of Non's schooling stands out to me. Was she meant to go to Honami and Michi's school? Is she another stay at home student like Masaki? Are we going to get a sudden transfer student style arc? Non is the only one who knows about Michi and Honami's past relationship and Tear will want to keep Non safe. It's inevitable Non and Michi will meet again and it seems to be one of the only ways to move the story forward.
- There's a longer commentary I want to make on the manga synergizing its themes of death and idols with both literal and figurative possessions, curses, hauntings, and that parasocial longing that becomes frayed the longer it goes on which Dorothy described in the interview. But I'd rather save that for a volume recap.
- I'm going to fucking cry when Honami gets to meet Tear again.

It continues to be so interesting that we never actually get to see Honami speaking. if she on screen she's purely non-verbal which certainly gives her a very cutesy vibe but also it means we just don't get to see things from her perspective she quite literally does not have a voice in this story.
And I'm starting to think she might never get it, or her finally speaking for herself will be a big part of the ending.

Aizawa’s body reconstructing itself feels very Michi coded, but if you are right about that huffing figure and those Eyes being Michi, then she couldn’t have found Aizawa until after Tear and everyone else. Maybe Michi and Aizawa planned her death, or at least planned for her potential death, but something with Michi’s spells didn’t go to plan. Maybe Aizawa was supposed to be revived soul and all instead of just her body being reconstructed? That might explain why the ghost had to go so far to kill Aizawa. Another possibility is that they anticipated Aizawa would fully die, but Michi expected to be able to meet with her ghost, but that went wrong. Michi’s searching could be for Aizawa’s ghost rather than Aizawa herself. The conformation that Aizawa didn’t die at the festival is something I really wasn’t expecting. I’m excited to see how the festival will get recontextualized in the future!
As for the non mystery elements of this chapter, I think Dorthy’s done a really good job making these two chapters into a standalone arc in their own right. It’s been wonderful and depressing getting to see so much of the Idols as people and not just as victims of the ghosts. Tear really has become one of my favorite characters, and I’m also excited to see her become more prevalent going forward.
Thanks for the TL!

Okay so let’s go through my thouhts:
I love the ironic mirroring of Tear’s and Karasuma’s behaviours (which reinforces their relationship) with their overt flirtiness with the other characters. Tear get’s some of her own medicine back, but also genuine protection from things that have probably haunted her (both figuratively and literally) since her childhood.
I dunno about you, but that thing in the audience feels like a live person. It’s giving serious Perfect Blue vibes, and I think there’s more than one supernatural force at play with what’s happening to DeLphinus.
I don’t think the person searching on page 23 is Michi: it’s Nagi. She has the same hazy pupils, and the second panel has a hazy silhouette mostly associated with ghosts. Nagi wanted Honami to be with her in death, but her ghost turned up at the school not the concert hall. If Nagi knew Honami had died she would be desperate to claim her soul for herself setting off all of the attacks on the school when she finally found her, but found the building protected.
I think what Tear witnessed in the Green Room was through some of her latent psychic abilities. They’re not fully developed like some of the other characters, but she still senses doom befalling the group just before it happens. And what happened to Honami wasn’t physical, it was psychic. The horrible imagery an extension of the damage inflicted upon Honami’s aura. And so you can only guess how horrific the attack must have been for someone with only a trace amount of ESP to be able to get that image, even for a moment. That’s why when she looked back it was just a regular dead body, and no one could explain the death. We can only be glad that Michi didn’t find the body. And it also explains just how visceral Honami’s spirit is just beneath the surface, and how deep her feelings for Michi are that she is so grounded at the school.
And the thing that did it isn’t Nagi, it’s something far worse and far more monstrous. Is it the same entity that got Nagi? Such a dark influence could definitely manifest in sudden suicidal behaviour, its “influence” causing her to kill herself before the thing could tear her soul apart itself. The thing that got Honami was just pure unthinking hatred, but she was also far more supported and protected mentally by her idolmates, so any suicidal ideation would be cut off, ironically allowing the stalking spirit to get more “hands on”. Eeesh!

Okay, I'll admit that page 22 might have got a tear or two out of me 
We know that she died from the start of the manga, yet it still has impact...
Thanks for the translation :>

All these interpretations make a lot of sense to me! The only thing I’m not sure about is the idea that Tear seeing the gore was just a manifestation of undeveloped ghost sight. Kasumi’s ghost sight has developed as a gradual unblurring, not sudden moments of perfect clarity. Maybe the ghost that killed Aizawa chose to show Tear for whatever reason?

Of course poor Tear had to be the first one to face the death of her beloved ones. She's amazing because she hasn't gone insane yet. Just how much strength she has to keep going...
I hope we never find out who's the real evil enemy behind all of this. At least fully. I love the classic fear of unknown! And I don't want it to turn out to be some unlucky tragedy that gave birth to the evilness and possessions, I just want the plain horrible horror to be the cause haha.
However what I do want is impossible happy end for like all the girls(, what even is manageable here? What can the alive girls even save? Is it just each other? Protect themselves from their death? Or maybe SOMEHOW they can save Aizawa, even Nagi? This seems so hopeless. What are they supposed to do?
I fear in the end they'll only manage to save Aizawa's (perhaps Nagi's too) spirit, so she could pass on and not haunt possess murder the others. And that'll be the end. Bittersweet blah blah blah.
But ohhhh God i wish they can be brought back from death, even through some bullshit haha, those babies deserve some happiness! Michi and Aizawa to go on cute dates, Nagi to laugh at their silliness and others to be near and love each other. Aaa this is all so doomed but please somehow (╥﹏╥)
Thanks for the chapter!!

Fucking hell.... Guess we know Aizawa's cause of death now...
Last chapter I was nearly entirely conviced that Nagi's weird actions and her arguements with Aizawa were because Aizawa met Michi and Nagi was jealous of their relationship but now that doesn't work with the timeline anymore. Though, I think her killing and causing harm to Delphinus is because of jealousy and how they were able to continue going on after death even though she was really the one who was able to form them into a proper group in the first place.
I think that Aizawa was most definitely haunted by Nagi and that caused her to seek help which lead to her meeting Michi and their eventual friendship. Michi and Aizawa became attched to each other and Michi tried her best to help, etc. Though that does give me one question. If Aizawa did meet Michi because of her ghost problem, doesn't that mean she knows Michi can see ghosts? And if so, then doesn't that mean she was fully aware Michi was ignoring her? If she didn't have time to meet Michi before her death, why wasn't she affected by Michi ignoring her as she has been the other times? Does that mean she knows more about this entire situation? Did she meet up with Michi after her death as a ghost and Michi perhaps filled her in on some plan that would do something to help the current situation? How much was she laughing internally when she flipped her skirt for Michi as a ghost during chapter 1? Of course that is all assuming Aizawa knows Michi could see ghosts while she was alive which may not be the case.
I got no clue who the person in the crowd is nor do I know what caused Nagi to go off the rails before her death - I don't the idea that she was possesed by a ghost but it is possible.
I really do wonder what caused Michi to lose her memories because I thought before that maybe she witnessed Aizawa's death or something like that but that no longer seems to be the case as Aizawa's body was handled swiftly and hidden from public view with no way for her to access it. I am thinking now that perhaps she saw Aizawa's or Nagi's ghost and that drove her to do something that would serve to protect her mind (which caused the memory problems).
also Karasuma x Tear is peak.

Similar to @MsW0lf, my first impression of the shadowy figure in page 23 was Nagi searching for Aizawa's spirit, but after a dwelling around it for a bit it can also be Michi. It's likely that Michi and Aizawa had an agreement to put a spell on Aizawa as some sort of final resort wherein if she got severely harmed by the supernatural, her spirit will get isolated from her body and get relocated somewhere she's attached to or feel safe in order to protect her spirit.
The "somewhere" is where I also started thinking the shadowy figure can be Michi too. It's possible that Michi will have a general idea when the spell triggers and Aizawa's spirit is supposed to be guided to Michi's physical location, but it may have misfired which guided Aizawa to the school instead and lead to Michi scrambling to find her. An explanation I can think about this is that Aizawa may have strongly associated school with Michi, since I imagine that she only get to meet with Michi during classes, which can also be a huge factor as to why she was elated with meeting Michi during the town festival.
The glimpse of an ominous figure approaching Michi during that one panel of the festival flashback (forgot the chapter) may have also been Aizawa herself that is currently feeling unwell due to the supernatural, and can also be the time where Michi decided to cast the spell on her. Though of course all of these are pure speculations. I'm looking forward to know more about Michi and Aizawa's past, and why Michi's memories are gone/tampered with.

The talk about pacing leaves me thinking about how common it is for yuri mangas (probably mangas in general but i dont read other stuff lol) to have to develop awkwardly because of the uncertainty of how long a publication can last.
Aizawa has mostly felt consistent but looking back you can feel the story was a lot less patient in the first few chapters. Sometimes i wonder how many manga could have been better if the author could decide their exact length and adjust the pacing without being worried about getting axed in a bad moment to end.
Really reallllly hope Aizawa-san keeps going to its natural conclusion i like this manga too much for it to have a rushed ending that sours the rest of the story.

Wait so who sealed michi's memories away again? I forgot. Was it the spiritualist?
Losing your lover at such a young age could've left her in such a bad place that her memories had to be taken so she wouldn't kill herself. But losing those memories left her in a state you could call only somewhat alive. Her heart having a huge hole in it T_T
Did nagi's soul get trapped in between realms? Why would she want to kill aizawa that much. Tearing out her organs and smashing her bones isn't just a lingering attatchment. There's gotta be something far darker going on there. Like nagi expected aizawa to follow her to the afterlife and when aizawa found the strength and support to keep going, nagi's soul became restless and built resentment. Unable to pass on without her hona-chan. The ghosts that kill the most in japanese stories (it seems, I could be wrong) are the ones who've built up a lot of negative emotions.
Was nagi aware of michi and became jealous which is where the resentment first built up before she died? Or is the desire to really really violently kill aizawa something that came after death?
This story is so intense. It's phenomenal.

Hmmmm so Aizawa got shredded by ghost tooth and ghost claw from Tear's perspective, but Nagi(?) wants to ensure she's fully dead? Does this mean there's a chance for Aizawa to return? Was the shredding spiritual? Something produced by Tear's own sixth sense? Something very literal hidden from the material world that Tear caught a glimpse of?
On another note the ghost haunting DeLphi: might not be Nagi alone, and if this is the case, might Tear's fear over being cursed not be far off? What if she's been haunted by a vengeful spirit of her dead mother determined to sabotage her daughter's idol dreams from the off. It might be Tear's self loathing making her see connections, but equally it might not all be coincidence, the tragedy ramped up the more DeLphi kept going, and last chapter Nagi didn't seem the type to be so vengeful in the way we've been assuming she has been. As our scanlator pointed out there's no guarantee that the ghosts we are this chapter are Nagi if they share no design features. And the shapeless white dress resembles that worn by Tear's mother to my eyes...
This manga just keep targeting up the mystery!
