welp, it's a pretty negative and stereotyped depiction of trans people (trans women are just gay men who went too far, trans women are perverts, etc.) but at least the squick is well done? I dunno, if I had to find one good thing about this it's that the patterns of abuse perpetrated by Rin are...

you can just taste the "it was all a dream/hallucination" twist coming up, and the taste is sour. Not because it's been fermented, but because it's so old that it's started to go bad. Seriously, the items connected to the "outside world" meaning outside his hallucinations that allowed him to...

I stg if this entire story ends up like "it was all a dream" I will be so disappointed

wow, so it was in fact Katsumata (the science room ghost)... we didn't get too much backstory on him or even why he was wearing that mask, but at least I made a correct prediction. Cool ending, overall.

I can't tell if it's a different art style or just bad scans

so Sadakiyo isn't dead. But... does that mean he's this man? or is he the replacement "Friend"? hm. If Sadakiyo isn't "Friend", it would have to be a real nonsensical character, someone pulled right out of the ether. Possibly the science lab ghost, or Yamane (we never did figure out what...

oh boy, looks like that "cloning technology" briefly mentioned some chapters ago is now getting its chance in the spotlight

very emotional, very cool... but if everyone is gathered in one place, the only thing keeping "Friend" from killing everyone is the prophecy book saying that the Expo will survive. And at this point, I'm not sure if he's following instructions anymore.

uhh... well, this Friend is somebody who wanted to go to the 1970 expo, knows about the rock of the era (or at least the song 20th century boy), and is not Fukubei (is also probably not anyone who is also doing things at this point). So... that means out of the nine, it's most likely Sadakiyo...

@Koal she doesn't intend for anyone to leave that room alive. She believe she can kill Friend by herself, and everyone else would either be put in harm's way, or definitely killed.

oh damn, blast from the past. This guy was the one who seduced Kiriko (Kenji's sister) and convinced her to join "Friend" after he pushed her former boyfriend in front of a train and then immediately swooped in as a shoulder to cry on.

ooooooo damn, they're doing the replacement storyline? I mean, I kinda prefer that outcome, considering that a running theme has been the idea that there is nothing supernatural (or at least, not supernatural in that way), and that everything is tricks. A real-life resurrection, even with an...

the translation definitely flows a lot worse in the last few dozen chapters, but it's still readable so that's ok

I knew something was up when he waved that tiny bottle around, like if you didn't have a vaccine, why do you have that vial...

so this is the lie of 1970, then...

@Cosmak he's helping grandmas on his way to killing the pope

thinking on it, there are two good ways for this resurrection storyline to play out: either Fukubei faked his death a second time, or #13 is pretending to be Fukubei somehow and is taking on the mantle of "Friend". Both seem pretty realistic, it all just matters in the execution. I prefer the...

huh. I mean, maybe we're all just living in a sort of hellish holding room since the beginning of 2016.

Donkey turning around and going "yeah, that's scientific" was really moving, damn.

welp, I guess all that's left to see is how the author executes on the resurrection storyline
