I knew I recognized them

Man... Reading this manga really brings back so much good memories about the original work.

I wonder will we also get a chapter about people who launched rocket into space.

 

[q0099]

Thank you hearty for the chapter!

The second I saw the three of them together, I recognized that they were the same ones from the photos that Chito and Yuuri saw from the same camera.

I am enjoying the fact that this manga is answering questions about this world (though I believe somethings should be left unanswered to keep some of the mystery).

Spoiler: A little detail nobody was asking for

In Japanese language word "forest" is written by combining three hieroglyphs of "tree": 木 (tree), 森 (forest). In general, word "forest" in Japanese might mean a vast amount of something gathered in one place. For example, Japanese name for game "Animal Crossing" is "Animal Forest" (どうぶつの森) that might literally mean "A whole lot of animals".

Hopefully the government doesn't go after the robots because of their report.

It's really nice to have one that is rather sweet, for a change. I was starting to expect every one of these to hollow out my heart. Thank you for the chapter!

Thank you for the continued translation. I've been really enjoying this anthology series. Tkmiz's sketchy, moe art style and philosophical ponderings mixed with a quiet melancholy always hit in a way nothing else does.

Me seeing the page with them and the camera

The call forwards in this episode - the tiny robot containing a recording of the trio and fish and potatoes being farmed as food supplies is near.

That being said that fish and chips combo looks kinda ass.

 

[minerkey]

hmmmm, so the society now heavily relies on the robots to build and maintain it's city and tools - lacking a lot of knowledge as they've become comfortable in the self-replicating and sustaining layers? Similar to how excessive AI-reliance in modern day can lead to a "dulling" effect on creativity or thought processes...

It only makes sense that self-replicating robots could produce an ecosystem when the rules tightly keeping them in line start to slip, much like how society flourishes when humans begin to specialise in certain things. Once groups of people specialise in certain roles like farming, others don't have to worry about growing food and can become builders, painters, writers, etc - and I guess something similar happens here when many of the robots no longer have the sole function of maintaining the city.

I came here to cry because of the current state of the world, not to get angry at the current state of the world tkmz

 

[Simulaterhome]

And yeah, this is the "night of science" after the "dawn" in the previous chapter, which is also a parallel to our current state and excessive use of LLM

 

[lawrencfgsdfg]

nobody died, let's celebrate guys !

 

[llcrazyacell]

So I guess it was these little guys from the 'forest' who drew all of the machine language Chito and Yurri saw along their journey.

I really love how tkmiz is expanding on things we've already seen. I wonder if he already had all these ideas back when he first wrote GLT and is finally expressing them now.

The potato girls came back!!!!!
