Kyouko is such a treasure.

I think the whole name debate is silly. If the name is phonological reconstruction of "silky" using japanese phonemes, then the obvious choice is to just make it "silky" in english - because the japanese reader is going to read it as "silky." That "shirukyi" was an approximation of "silky" was...

Wheeler got absolutely BTFO by the power of love. Pictured below: what the power of love looks like.

I don't think it's that weird. She saw herself for who she was, and she couldn't live with that, so she decided to end it. The reveal of her eyes is just acknowledging that. I also agree with that you - I think she'd be a great foil for D, and she could honestly help the reader a lot by...

I forgot the extent to which she was aware of and involved in the sacrifice of the people who would become weapons. Her actions make more sense in light of that. That's helpful - thank you. Something to consider, though - D has regenerative powers, and she doesn't. They're falling into a giant...

I mean, I understand the moral reasoning, but lacking self awareness isn't a mortal sin, especially since no human that she ever "judged" actually died as a result of her actions. Her realizing that she's an obnoxious moralistic busybody who may have gone too hard in the past isn't something...

Yellow: "Yes, I have committed numerous human rights abuses, chiefly when I sacrificed people to make weapons from their flesh, and forced a girl to live until she was fully grown and had the most flesh to harvest. Yeah, that was pretty poggers. But you also did some petty and hurtful things...

That's so cute.

I can only speak for myself, but I'm glad it's not just another generic slice of life with a vampiric aesthetic slapped onto it. And besides, I've never walked away from the author notes thinking that he was improvising. The thematic consistency and fairly precise foreshadowing indicates to me...

This puts such a nice bow on the story. Incredibly sweet of the author to give this to us.

This is epic. And I don't mean it in the over used internet sense of the term. I mean this is actually epic. God damnit I love this manga so much.

I'm so ripe with anticipation. It's a great chapter, but the tension boiling in the background feels palpable. It's an uneasy peace. I love it.

I genuinely appreciate the dissonance between her personality/motivations, and what she actually does. "Yes... I'll show them all... I'll use these human tools properly... to make the world an objectively better place!" [cue lightning strike, pipe organ, and evil laughter]

I think that's pretty astute. She's been living in a stage of adolescence for quite some time. Now she's stepping up to the plate and shouldering much more adult-like responsibilities. Getting a consistent job, moving into an apartment, and putting real thought into how she can make her romantic...

I don't disagree with most of your conclusions, and I articulated such in previous chapters. It always felt like the romance played second fiddle to the philosophy, IMO. But I do think that the author could have eased into this better and built a more coherent narrative. I've been willing to...

Man, Kabura had to raise such a difficult child. Bless her. 😔 I also don't normally buy official translations anymore. Scanlators provide a better service, and they do it for free. If VIZ and companies like them didn't try so hard to sanitize the stories they were handed, I'd actually buy their...

You know, my initial response was "man, that is some retarded writing." But then I thought about it a bit more. And I remembered that the sort of people who actually do commit terrorism are usually retarded and totalizing hypocrites. So him saying something that stupid really isn't off brand.

The violence has escalated.

Thank you for the translation. Really excited to see this series getting updated. Those demon fellas seem like real punks.
